Question 8 - Although it remains a serious issue, poverty results in very few deaths worldwide

The poverty is one of the biggest problems in the world. It is present pretty much everywhere in the world, though the highest poverty rates by far are in the less developed countries. The people in this countries are so poor that they often don't have food and water, yet alone to be able to pay for medical care. This often results in death from starvation, lack of water, of from deadly diseases. Tens of millions of people each year die because of poverty.

Question 9 - AIDS

The advancements in the medical field have contributed to control of some diseases that were deadly in the past, or total elimination of them. But the medicine has limited power, and it is not almighty, and one of the disease that it can not cure, but only partially regulate is the AIDS. The AIDS is a relatively new disease, starting off less than a century ago. It spread out very quickly though, as one of the easiest ways for it to be transmitted is through sexual intercourse. It affected people from all over the world, from all races, from all backgrounds and social hierarchies. Tens of millions of people have died from it, and every day there are tens of thousands newly infected, mostly in the less developed countries, having their lives doomed even before they start as most of them get it from their parents when they have been conceived.

How did the social facts of Pat Lyon's work change between 1790 and 1830?
Sloan [31]

Pat Lyon was born and raised in London. Started his mechanical studies at age 11. Spent 14 years in several manufacturies until he decided to immigrate to America.

He arrived in Philadelphia on November 25th, 1793. Along the years, he was able to build a good reputation as a locksmith/blacksmith.

Business was going fine and he was hired by the Bank of Pennsylvania on  May, 1797. The job consisted on making fixtures and preparations for the book vault. On July 7th, Pat Lyon completed the job, even thoug warning the bank personnel that the locks were not secure enough.

During the summer of 1798, $162,821 were stolen from the vaults of the Bank of Pennsylvania. Everything pointed to an “inside job”, turning Lyon into a prime suspect.

Pat Lyon had gone to Delaware two days before the robbery running away from the yellow fever. Still, he turned himself in, but his story was not believed and he spent three months in the Walnut Street Prison.

Investigation concluded that Isaac Davis, a member of the Carpenters’ Company was guilty of the bank robbery.  

Lyon was cleared by the grand jury on January, 1799. Less than a year after his release, he wrote a book about the case and sued the bank and law officials.

He reached an agreement and was awarded $9,000, a large amount of money back then, turning possible that Lyon lived out his days in financial comfort as a succesfull manufacturer.  

In 1829, Pat Lyon had his portrait painted by John Neagle. It is considered an unusual portrait for the period. At that time, people would like to be depicted in their finest clothes and surrounded by expensive objects, but Lyon preferred to be depicted as an honest workingman.  

This painting is reproduced in several books and is displayed at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. The title of the portrait is “Pat Lyon at the Forge”.

Slav-nsk [51]

FALSE

Hitler committed suicide at the end of World War II, so that already makes the statement false.

The Nuremberg trials were a series of 13 trials carried out in Nuremberg, Germany, between 1945 and 1949, seeking to bring many Nazi Party officials and high-ranking military officers to justice, as well as leading businessmen, lawyers, and doctors involved with the Nazi cause.   Herman Goering was the highest-raking Nazi official to be put on trial at Nuremberg.
