helpp How are patrician & lower class families similar (Hint: Who is the head of the family?) 6. How are patrician girls &am
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

1. How are patrician and lower class families similar?)) The patricians were any member of a group of citizen families who formed a privileged class in early Rome. The patricians were the wealthy upper class, who owned land and held political power. The plebeians were the working class without substantial wealth. (the head of the family is/were paterfamilias)

2. How are patrician girls and slaves similar/How are Roman women and plebeians similar?))

<em><u>(</u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>woman</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u> </u></em>Roman women had a very limited role in public life. They could not attend, speak in, or vote at political assemblies and they could not hold any position of political responsibility. ... Typical jobs undertaken by such women were in agriculture, markets, crafts, as midwives and as wet-nurses.

<em><u>(</u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>plebe</u></em><em><u>ians</u></em><em><u>)</u></em><em><u>)</u></em> They protected some basic rights of all Roman citizens regardless of their social class. Eventually the plebeians were allowed to elect their own government officials. They elected "tribunes" who represented the plebeians and fought for their rights. They had the power to veto new laws from the Roman senate. (Roman women cannot vote, but plebeians now can. in the early stages of Roman, plebeians had very few rights aswell)

3. How does the social class impact the type of food eaten?)) In contemporary Western society, social class differences in food consumption follow a general pattern. Upper class groups consume foods that signify exclusivity and access to rare goods; while lower class groups, on the other hand, consume foods that are readily available.

Which economic sector did not grow and prosper<br> during this decade?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:The interwar period in the United States, and in the rest of the world, is a most interesting era. The decade of the 1930s marks the most severe depression in our history and ushered in sweeping changes in the role of government. Economists and historians have rightly given much attention to that decade. However, with all of this concern about the growing and developing role of government in economic activity in the 1930s, the decade of the 1920s often tends to get overlooked. This is unfortunate because the 1920s are a period of vigorous, vital economic growth. It marks the first truly modern decade and dramatic economic developments are found in those years. There is a rapid adoption of the automobile to the detriment of passenger rail travel. Though suburbs had been growing since the late nineteenth century their growth had been tied to rail or trolley access and this was limited to the largest cities. The flexibility of car access changed this and the growth of suburbs began to accelerate. The demands of trucks and cars led to a rapid growth in the construction of all-weather surfaced roads to facilitate their movement. The rapidly expanding electric utility networks led to new consumer appliances and new types of lighting and heating for homes and businesses. The introduction of the radio, radio stations, and commercial radio networks began to break up rural isolation, as did the expansion of local and long-distance telephone communications. Recreational activities such as traveling, going to movies, and professional sports became major businesses. The period saw major innovations in business organization and manufacturing technology. The Federal Reserve System first tested its powers and the United States moved to a dominant position in international trade and global business. These things make the 1920s a period of considerable importance independent of what happened in the 1930s.
