Wage slavery is a term used to refer to the situation in which people are extremely dependent on their wages and jobs and that it creates a situation that resembles to that of owning that person, hence to slavery. It is used to refers to situations in which labor means exploitation.

In the 19th century there was a decline in the use of this word and substituted by "wage work", specially due to the Industrial Revolution, the dominance of the manufacturing activities and the irruption of the trade union system. This change of terms was the way of perpetuating it under a different denomination, but continuing the same practice.

What are the most convincing arguments in favor of legalizing some controlled substances?
fgiga [73]

The legalization of some controlled subtances has always been a contreversial issue. Nevertheless, despite of its controversy, it has several arguments that can be expressed in favor of it. First of all, in some cases related to depression and anxiety, controlled substances can be a way in which people can obtain willingness to live, and also, it can help to improve the mood and self-esteem they have. Moreover, when some factors do not allow people to easily get reasons to stay alive, these type of substances can be helpful to increase people's happiness, to avoid bad thinkings and to remove some negative feelings such as; fear, pity and even regret. Therefore, their quality of living can also get higher, if they try some substances, under control.

Name three ways in which Cuneiform is different than hieroglyphics in terms of
Ksju [112]

Answer: The earliest known script, the Mesopotamian cuneiform was invented in Sumer, present-day Iraq, circa 3200 BC. It is the origin of our present-day alphabet and it was uninterruptedly used for over a period of 10,000 years as its prehistoric antecedent.

Explanation: The evolution of the cuneiform script is divided into four phases: Clay tokens representing units of goods were used for accounting purposes (8000–3500 BC). The three-dimensional tokens were transformed into two-dimensional pictographic signs, similarly to the tokens, the pictographic script served exclusively for accounting (3500–3000 BC). Phonetic syllabic signs initially introduced to write down the names of individuals marked the turning point when writing started imitating spoken language and, as a result, became applicable to all fields of human knowledge (3000–1500 BC). With two dozen letters, each standing for a single sound of voice, the alphabet perfected the interpretation of speech.

Hieroglyphic writing, which appeared at the end of the 4th millennium, was a complex system of phonetic signs corresponding to one or more consonants, ideograms objects or abstract concepts, and determinatives that determine the words. These specified their semantic categories (e.g. man, woman). Hieratic script, which arose in parallel time with the hieroglyphics, is the  “cursive” format of hieroglyphics for easy use in daily and private matters, where appearance was less important than writing speed. These writings were used simultaneously for many centuries until the beginning of the 26th dynasty (664–30 BC), when a third one was introduced, the demotic script. Hieroglyphs from then on were used for monumental inscriptions, whereas religious texts were written in hieratic script, and the demotic script became that of the public administration and private documents.
