Answer:

In the first place, it must be said that despite his immense intellectual contributions and his deep analysis of 19th century capitalism, Charles Marx didn´t leave any book or writing outlining how a communist society would look like. He only wrote once that in communism, every person will go from receiving according to their capacity to receiving according to their needs. This is a very vague idea. So, is Cuba true to Marx? It´s hard to say. Paramount leader Fidel Castro built a Communist Party and a communist state following the Soviet model. In orthodox Marxist practice, the government is the dictatorship of the proletariat, of the workers. What we have actually seen in Cuba is a dictatorship of Fidel Castro and his brother Raúl Castro, in which they and a small elite of top party, state and military officials hold power exclusively.

Prosperity in Cuba? Definitely no. The Cuban experiment is a failure after 60 years of communist rule; the Cuban economy is not dynamic, it is dominated by the higly ineffective state-run mammoths, many Cubans live in nearly-poverty, food rationing continues, it is tecnologically backward. No democratic freedoms. Most young people want to emigrate and settle in the US or elsewhere. The traditional Soviet-like economic model, a command economy, is a system that can´t create wealth and can´t lead to prosperity because its ideological foundations are wrong; only an economy based on a free-market and private enterprise can generate and sustain wealth. The American embargo is usually blamed by Cuban leader as the main reason for this situation, but Cuba can import technology from other countries, trade with them and get investments. So, why does it continue to lag behind?

Answer:

Decline in trade - shift to a rural society

Explanation:

The fall of the Roman Empire brought significant changes in the mode of rule and governance. After the fall, the empire was governed by the warrior kings. The traditional and community guidelines were given priority than the written laws. There was a drastic change in the economic stability of the empire as well. The economy inclined towards the agricultural sector as the result of the collapse of the trade. It was because of the decline in the trade that shifted the empire towards the rural society.

Which act is an example of following the rule of law?

Kaylis [27]

Answer: driving the speed limit

Explanation:

Following the rule of law refers to obeying an actual law that is implemented in a society. Speed limits are actual laws so when we drive the speed limit, we are following the rule of law.

The other options are not correct because they are not based on actual laws. They are simply based on the civil and environmental responsibilities. There is no law for instance, that forces us to vote or to recycle or to get a driver's license (unless you are driving in which case this is a law).

Sav [38]

The statement that best paraphrases evidence to support the conclusion that Gilgamesh is courageous is the last one: Despite his momentary horror at seeing Humbaba’s dreadful face, Gilgamesh overcomes his fear with encouragement from his companion.

Humbaba <em>the Terrible</em> was the guardian of the Cedar Forest, where the gods lived. Heroes Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu went there in order to capture and slay the monster, but, upon seeing him, the brave Gilgamesh started to flee away from him, horrified by his features. Thanks to his companion, however, who reminds him of his strength and of their intimate friendship, which make them invincible, he is finally able to overcome his fear and kill the giant.
