Answer:

Life expectancy measures the average number of years that a population is likely to live.

Explanation:

Life expectancy is the average life expectancy of all persons in a geographical area or a population group. The average age is calculated by summing the age of all who die within a year and dividing the number by the number of deaths. In America, for example, life expectancy is 78.6 years.

Life expectancy has increased globally in the 20th century as a result of the medical revolution. Various medical developments mainly explain the rise in life expectancy to the present level, but have also been influenced, for example, by the availability and quality of food.

The lives of Athenian girls were very different from the lives of girls today. Write a brief essay that explains the differences
melamori03 [73]

Answer: Differences between Athenian girls and girls in this present age are enormous. The differences are explained below.

Explanation:

There are a lot of differences between Athenian women and women in this present generation. Athenian women didn't have formal education but their mothers taught them the skills needed to manage a household. Athenian women often married older men and the wife's roles were to give birth to children, and manage the household. Athenian women did not usually interact with men who were not related to them. Women were also barred from participating in politics.

In the present generation, women have formal education and hold respectable positions in the society. Women are free to marry whoever they like and their role isn't limited to childbirth alone. Women also participate in politics.

I AM BEGGING FOR HELP!!!!!!!!!

If anything you could say that questions 3 and 4 tie in together in the respect that the Colosseum is a visual representation of Roman gravitas. In terms of superiority it shows that the Roman Empire had plenty of resources, it shows that Rome prided itself on the entertainment and well being of its' citizens. You could say that the Colosseum is the Rolex watch on the wrist of the Roman Empire, it's a way of showing its' citizens and rival nations, "look at how much money and power we have." It was also an intimidating place, a place where prisoners of war and criminals fought to the death. So there was also a dominating feeling from the perspective of a prisoner, a feeling that Rome had them by the throat and there was nothing they could do about it.

not sure if any of that helps but hey whatever
