what changes to arkansas economy could have lessened the effects of the great depression and hastened the states recovery? expla
HACTEHA [7]

One of the changes to Arkansas economy that could have lessened the effects of the Great Depression and hastened the state's recovery would have been that of diversifying its sources of income. Arkansas relied mostly on agricultural production, and besides this, its industries were extremely limited. This meant that the state was greatly affected by the low crop prices of this time period. It also meant that the many floods and droughts of the time severely affected the economy. However, if agriculture had not been the only major economic enterprise of the state, the effect would have been lessened.

Answer:In traditional Chinese society, it was deeply embedded that a wife should sacrifice her wants to the needs of her husband. In Hung Mai’s story, Miss Wu was a typical example of that image. She refused to remarry and worked hard to support the family and looked after her mother-in-law. She was so kind that she often cared about others rather than herself. There are elements of Confucianism in the story. Miss Wu was so kind to others and kept her promise that she would take good care of her mother-in-law. I don’t think the lesson of this story is uniquely Chinese. In many societies, women didn’t have the equal rights as men did. They had to work hard and sacrifice themselves for their families

Explanation:

Confucianism is one of the most influential religious philosophies in the history of China, and it has existed for over 2500 years.
