Masja [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. The Mexican Revolution of 1911 was spurred in part by resentment against foreign businessmen, particularly those in the petroleum industry; it was led by a group of intellectuals and planners called cientificos; and began because Mexico nationalized oilfields in Mexico owned by Americans.

Explanation:

During the late nineteenth century Mexico was governed by Porfirio Diaz. Its presidency was characterized by the promotion of the industry and the pacification of the country. It encouraged foreign investment mainly by Americans, the French and the English. Despite the country's macroeconomic growth, relative peace and progress was achieved at the expense of the over-exploitation of the peasant and working classes, concentrating wealth, political power and access to education on a handful of landowner families.

For the 1910 election, Porfirio Diaz decided to run for the fifth time as a candidate, but his opponent was Francisco Ignacio Madero Gonzalez, a popular and well-educated foreign-born businessman who sympathized with social reforms and liberal ideals. Diaz ordered Madero's arrest while campaigning in Monterrey, and could re-elect himself once again to the Presidency of the Republic. Madero managed to flee and exile in San Antonio, Texas, where he drafted the San Luis Plan, calling for an armed uprising to begin on November 20, 1910. Additionally, the plan declared invalid the 1910 elections, appointed Madero as provisional president, restored the natives to the lands confiscated from them, and established the principle of non-re-election (still in force in Mexico). Many intellectuals joined the movement, as were the natives headed by Emiliano Zapata in the south, and Pancho Villa and Pascual Orozco in the north. On May 10, 1911 the revolutionaries took Ciudad Juarez, and Madero entered triumphantly and named his first cabinet. Diaz decided to resign from his government and went into exile in France.

Following the resignation of President Diaz, a provisional government headed by Francisco Leon was succeeded by Madero in 1911. However, two years later Madero would fall victim to a coup led by General Victoriano Huerta, in which he was killed. He had planned the coup with United States Ambassador to Mexico, Henry Lane Wilson, as Madero's liberal social and labor reforms affected the interests of both Americans and British who controlled the country's oil companies.

The warlords focused the fight against the new Huerta government, in a long war in which each warlord had different ideals. To stop the fight, Venustiano Carranza, governor of the state of Coahuila formed the Constitutionalist Army with the intention of pacifying the country by adopting most of the social demands made by the rebels and integrating them into a new progressive and socialist constitution. Carranza managed to capture most of the demands in the text of the Constitution of 1917. With that, the Revolution officially ended, but not the violence, which would continue for a few more years.

Basic beliefs of Buddhism

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The basic doctrines of early Buddhism, which remain common to all Buddhism, include the four noble truths : existence is suffering ( dukhka ); suffering has a cause, namely craving and attachment ( trishna ); there is a cessation of suffering, which is nirvana ; and there is a path to the cessation of suffering, the eightfold path of right views, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. Buddhism characteristically describes reality in terms of process and relation rather than entity or substance.

Experience is analyzed into five aggregates ( skandhas ). The first, form ( rupa ), refers to material existence; the following four, sensations ( vedana ), perceptions ( samjna ), psychic constructs ( samskara ), and consciousness ( vijnana ), refer to psychological processes. The central Buddhist teaching of non-self ( anatman ) asserts that in the five aggregates no independently existent, immutable self, or soul, can be found. All phenomena arise in interrelation and in dependence on causes and conditions, and thus are subject to inevitable decay and cessation. The casual conditions are defined in a 12-membered chain called dependent origination ( pratityasamutpada ) whose links are: ignorance, predisposition, consciousness, name-form, the senses, contact, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, old age, and death, whence again ignorance.

With this distinctive view of cause and effect, Buddhism accepts the pan-Indian presupposition of samsara, in which living beings are trapped in a continual cycle of birth-and-death, with the momentum to rebirth provided by one's previous physical and mental actions (see karma ). The release from this cycle of rebirth and suffering is the total transcendence called nirvana.

From the beginning, meditation and observance of moral precepts were the foundation of Buddhist practice. The five basic moral precepts, undertaken by members of monastic orders and the laity, are to refrain from taking life, stealing, acting unchastely, speaking falsely, and drinking intoxicants. Members of monastic orders also take five additional precepts: to refrain from eating at improper times, from viewing secular entertainments, from using garlands, perfumes, and other bodily adornments, from sleeping in high and wide beds, and from receiving money. Their lives are further regulated by a large number of rules known as the Pratimoksa. The monastic order (sangha) is venerated as one of the three jewels, along with the dharma, or religious teaching, and the Buddha. Lay practices such as the worship of stupas (burial mounds containing relics) predate Buddhism and gave rise to later ritualistic and devotional practices.
