A lobbyist is an individual who tries to convince a politician(s) to create laws or sign bills that will benefit the company/organization they represent. This term supposedly started in the United Kingdom. The term was first used to describe when members of parliament and their peers met in lobbies in order to discuss issues pertaining to British society. This term is still used in American society today.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

They are giving us so much work so we can become better in a subject. For example, if your teacher gives you math homework, she expects you to do it so you can be better in math and to get ready for a quiz or a test. Also they give you work to create better study habits for the future.

How did buddhism spread across east asia?
Tanzania [10]
 Being primarily a teacher, Buddha traveled to nearby kingdoms to share his insights with those who were receptive and interested. Likewise, he instructed his monks to go forth in the world and present his teachings. He did not ask others to criticize and give up their own religion and convert to a new one, for he was not seeking to establish his own religion. He was merely trying to help others overcome the unhappiness and suffering that they were creating for themselves because of their lack of understanding.

What is your opinion about using lotteries and slot machines to pay for education?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

It could work, but really, it is just ineffective because there is a high risk of losing and falling into debt. Lotteries and slot machines are just not worth it. You could end up with less money for education than more.
