What was one of the major usues of iron in the industrial revolution?

1 answer:

8 0

As the industrial revolution developed, so did the iron industry. A set of innovations, from different materials to new techniques, allowed iron production to expand greatly. In 1709 Darby became the first man to smelt iron with coke (more on the coal industry). Although this was a key date, the impact was limited as the iron was still brittle. Around 1750 a steam engine was first used to pump water back up to power a water wheel. This process only lasted a small time as industry became better able to move around as coal took over. In 1767 Richard Reynolds helped costs fall and raw material travel further by developing the first iron rails although this was superseded by canals.

Question: How did a dynasty lose or gain the Mandate of Heaven?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

B> - If the ruling dynasty was fair, it would keep the Mandate of Heaven.

Explanation:

The Mandate of Heaven was a belief in the establishment of a ruler from the qualities of a person. Under this Mandate, there is no specific rule that determines who can or cannot become the ruler. Rather, a person's qualities, such as being fair, just, how well he can rule, or how 'good' he is in terms of his behavior and qualities.

The belief that such a ruler is determined from the internal qualities comes from the idea of the ruler being the "son of heaven". In other words, such type of person is good, just, kind, fair, and does not indulge in immoral or bad activities, which makes him ideal for a leader. Moreover, he will also be accepted by the gods, which is a huge factor.

So, if a ruling dynasty or a ruler is fair, he can keep the Mandate of Heaven but if not, then the Mandate cannot be his.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Which statement best illustrates Siddhartha Gautama’s view toward wealth?

Vlad1618 [11]

The BEST answer is:

d. Gautama believed that he could best help others by giving up his wealth.

While there certainly is truth to answer C (as selected by the other respondent), Siddhartha Gautama's view toward wealth was more than a passive realization that it did not bring happiness. Even more so it was an active view that translated into action, giving up one's wealth to benefit others. He said of wealth, "A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure; but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit."

Siddhartha Gautama is known as "The Buddha" (the "Enlightened One"). The details about his life history are debated by scholars, but we know the historical personage of Siddhartha Gautama as a teacher in ancient India around the 5th or 6th century BC. Buddhism is patterned after his teachings.
