The correct answers are A) He was an immigrant from Denmark. C) He photographed immigrants and the way they lived. D) He wanted to make people aware of the challenges immigrants faced.

The statements that accurately describe Jacob Riis are the following: He was an immigrant from Denmark, he photographed immigrants and the way they lived, and he wanted to make people aware of the challenges immigrants faced.

Jacob Riis (1849-1914) was a photographer from Denmark that published a book his impact photos about immigrants and how they lived in New York City. The book was published in 1890 with the name of "How the Other Half Lives." When people read the book and saw the pictures they were in shock. They never imagined the poor living conditions of overcrowding spaces of many workers and poor people that survive on a daily basis. The book is considered a master piece of social criticism.

What steps has the international community taken to address humanitarian crises throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centur
vovangra [49]
Rawanda- The United Nations sent a peacekeeping force in order to try to limit the fallout from the civil war and genocide taking place in the country. They were somewhat ineffective, due to few troops on the ground, limited authorization for using force, and the overwhelming amount of violence occurring.

Tienanmen Square- The international community condemned China for its brutal use of force against student protesters in the country. Sanctions were also employed, and China found itself briefly exiled from the diplomatic community. Ultimately, China was too important an economic and security partner for the world to shun. Little has changed in terms of human rights in the country following the incident.   

Citizens like me can read and become informed. We in the United States are able to choose our leaders, an incredible privilege and globally important responsibility, due to our nation's status in the world. Given this fact, we should be the most informed citizens in the world; we are not. A more informed citizenry would elect leaders whose ideas are at least based on intimate knowledge of the issues, regardless of whether or not everyone agrees with those ideas.
