Answer:

Life in the ghettos was usually unbearable. Overcrowding was common. One apartment might have several families living in it. Plumbing broke down, and human waste was thrown in the streets along with the garbage. Contagious diseases spread rapidly in such cramped, unsanitary housing. People were always hungry. Germans deliberately tried to starve residents by allowing them to purchase only a small amount of bread, potatoes, and fat. Some residents had some money or valuables they could trade for food smuggled into the ghetto; others were forced to beg or steal to survive. During the long winters, heating fuel was scarce, and many people lacked adequate clothing. People weakened by hunger and exposure to the cold became easy victims of disease; tens of thousands died in the ghettos from illness, starvation, or cold. Some individuals killed themselves to escape their hopeless lives.

Every day children became orphaned, and many had to take care of even younger children. Orphans often lived on the streets, begging for bits of bread from others who had little or nothing to share. Many froze to death in the winter.

In order to survive, children had to be resourceful and make themselves useful. Small children in the Warsaw ghetto sometimes helped smuggle food to their families and friends by crawling through narrow openings in the ghetto wall. They did so at great risk, as smugglers who were caught were severely punished.

Many young people tried to continue their education by attending school classes organized by adults in many ghettos. Since such classes were usually held secretly, in defiance of the Nazis, pupils learned to hide books under their clothes when necessary, to avoid being caught.

Although suffering and death were all around them, children did not stop playing with toys. Some had beloved dolls or trucks they brought into the ghetto with them. Children also made toys, using whatever bits of cloth and wood they could find. In the Lodz ghetto, children turned the tops of empty cigarette boxes into playing cards.

Develop an argument that evaluates the factors that led to the rise and fall of Islamic empires during the early modern era.
Masja [62]

Answer and Explanation:

Some of the factors that led to the rise and fall of the Islamic empires during the early modern era are clearly evaluated here. My argument gives a clear overview of the issue from the very beginning —during the rise of the empire, to the supposed end—during the fall of the empire.

Islam spread through military conquest, trade, pilgrimage, and missionaries. The Arab Muslim forces conquered large territories and built imperial structures over time to secure those territories. Most of the significant expansion of the empire happened during the reign of the Rashidun from 632 to 661 CE, which was the reign of the first four successors of Muhammad.

Then, the caliphate—a new Islamic political structure now evolved and became more sophisticated in the era of the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates.

Here are the factors:

1. Accordance of non-Arabs with secondary status.

During the earlier Umayyad Dynasty (661-750 CE), non-Arabs were given secondary status.

2. Influence of Persian culture on the Abbasid Court.

During the Abbasid Dynasty (750-1258), distinction between Arab Muslims and non-Arab Muslims diminished with the Persian culture's great influence on the Abbasid Court.

3. Increased Political Involvements

With the Abbasids, more non-Arabs and non-Muslims became involved in government administration. This resulted into the decision of the Caliphate, which led to the formation of many fragmented political entities, some of which were actively led by non-Arab Muslims.

All these factors and more led to the fall of the Islamic empire in this modern era.

Creon s argument that he is older and wiser than his son is an example of __________. ethos pathos logos harmatia
maria [59]

Croen's argument that he is older and wiser than his son is an example of ethos.

Ethos is when an argument is constructed based on the ethics or credibility of the person that is making an argument.  Ethos is in contrast to pathos, which appeals to emotions. Logos appears to logic or reason. Harmatia is something completely different and means when a fatal flaw leads to the downfall of a tragic hero.
