The 16th amendment gave women the same control and power the men received. Giving women more confidence to achieve greatness.

Which of the following best shows Ireland's slow economic recovery from the 2008 recession?

Sav [38]

Answer: Choice D) Its high unemployment rate

==========================================================

Explanation:

Ideally you should do external research to get the answer, but luckily we can eliminate non-answers to narrow things down.

Choice A is false because having a skilled labor force and foreign investments means that the country is diversified to withstand an economic storm. Sure there is still likely a recession, but recovery would be fairly quick if choice A was the case.
Choice B is a similar idea. Having modern industrial policies means the workforce is agile and flexible, and in turn there's low unemployment. Ideally the environment would be an issue as well. This is why we can rule out choice B.
Choice C can be ruled out because a high GDP is the opposite of what it means to have a slow recovery. High GDP means the country is producing a lot of goods and services, and the standard of living is expected to be high. In short, the recovery is either strong or already over when high GDP occurs.

In summary: Choices A, B, and C can be eliminated.

The only thing left is choice D. Having high unemployment is one factor that leads to slow recovery. This makes sense because people without a job aren't able to contribute to the economic output of a country.

How does the holocaust affect the world today?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The Holocaust was a watershed event in human history. In the aftermath of World War II, the world—from individual nations to the United Nations; from religious leaders to professionals in fields as diverse as law, medicine, and science; from presidents and prime ministers to private citizens—confronted its legacy. Many of the issues raised by this cataclysmic event continue to have an impact on our lives and the world in which we live.

What were the causes of the War of 1812? Was it a justifiable war for the United States? Did pre-1812 British policies threaten

Pani-rosa [81]

The War of 1812 was caused by the tensions between France and Great Britain due to the French Revolutionary Wars. The consequence was that both France and Great Britain intended to restrict commercial maritime rights from the U.S. with each country. In general, U.S. did not consider this to be fair, as they intended to continue trading with France as they did before any conflict.

The supporters of the war were divided among the Americans geographically. People from New England were against it, while South and West supported it, thinking it would give good reputations for the U.S. abroad.

The war did not threaten US independence, but commercially, the war disfavored them. Native Americans were the ones to considered this a not justified war.
