What is the breakdown of the ethnicity of voting members of the 115th Congress

History
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
3 0

Almost one-in-five voting members of the House and Senate are a racial or ethnic minority, making the 115th U.S. Congress the most diverse in history. And while Congress as a whole remains  disproportionately white when compared with the U.S. population, the racial and ethnic profile of newly elected members more closely resembles the increasingly diverse populace, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.

Overall, nonwhites (including blacks, Hispanics, Asians/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans) make up 19% of the current Congress. By comparison, nonwhite Hispanics and other racial minorities make up 38% of the nation’s population.

Minorities, however, account for 20 of 59 new members (34%) of the House and Senate. This represents a notable jump over the 114th Congress, when just 11 of 71 new members (15%) were aracial or ethnic minority and the Senate had no newly elected minority members. This year, three freshman senators are a racial or ethnic minority, along with 17 new members of the House.  hope this helps

Post WW1 - What is the next America time period called? And describe two changes that occurred.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Se conoce como período de entreguerras o interbellum al periodo histórico del siglo XX que va de 1918 a 1939. Cronológicamente, se puede establecer desde el final de la Primera Guerra Mundial el 11 de noviembre de 1918 y el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial el 1 de septiembre de 1939.

A pesar de la relativa brevedad del periodo, éste representó una época de cambios significativos en todo el mundo. La producción de energía basada en el petróleo y la mecanización asociada se expandieron de forma espectacular, dando lugar a los locos años veinte, un periodo de prosperidad y crecimiento económico para la clase media de Norteamérica, Europa, Asia y muchas otras partes del mundo. Los automóviles, el alumbrado eléctrico y las emisiones de radio, entre otras cosas, se convirtieron en algo habitual entre las poblaciones del mundo desarrollado. Las indulgencias de la época fueron seguidas posteriormente por la Gran Depresión, una recesión económica mundial sin precedentes que perjudicó gravemente a muchas de las mayores economías del mundo.

What development allowed hunter/gatherer groups of humans to build large cities?
yarga [219]

It would be the development in agricultural knowledge/technology

Development in agriculture enable hunter/gatherer society to shift their behavior. Before this, they had to keep moving from one place to another in order to seek food to live.

After the development in agricultural knowledge/technology, the society now can stay in one exact place for a long period of time and relied on agricultural product as their main source food.

After living in one same place for a long time, the needs to build things to accommodate their living start to arise. They start to built several things and repeat the process every year. In the end, large cities were developed from the initially small hunter/gatherer society.

Alex_Xolod [135]
<span>No, this statement is false. Tsar Alexander emancipated Russian serfs through the Emancipation Edict Reform which was enacted in 1861. This reform gave serfs their freedom from feudal obligations and they were also given land. The landowners did receive compensation from the state. Peasants were then indebted to the sate and were forced to work and make payments as redemption to their local commune.</span>

The correct answer is D. To equal that of Brahman.

Explanation

In Hinduism, the atman is a concept to refer to the essence of the individual. This in turn is related to Brahman (the essential unit of everything that exists in the universe). So, the relationship between atman and Brahman is that Brahman, being the essential unit of everything existing in the universe, encompasses the essence of being, that is, atman in a singular sense. Moreover, the atman or indivudual should work to become or to equal the Brahman. So the correct answer is D. To equal that of Brahman.
