The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Speculate as to why men might have continued working in the packing houses under such conditions. Why do you think they didn’t seek other employment, or seek to unionize at this point?

I can speculate and said that these men worked in those meat packaging companies in Chicago because they had the necessity and that was the only type of job they were able to do because they lacked the preparation and education to perform other kinds of jobs.

So when people have a necessity -and in this case to survive and make a daily living- they accept any kind of job, no matter the difficulties.

I think they didn’t seek other employment, or seek to unionize at this point because they did not have that vision. They lived by the day, They only thought of earning some money to feed their families. When people are working in these conditions and under these circumstances, they are only focused on the grind, not having the time and the consciousness to think beyond their basic needs. And that is a real pity.

Upton Sinclair is the author of the novel titled "The Jungle," written in 1906. In the novel, American journalist Upton Sinclair describes the horrible and unhealthy conditions of the meatpacking industry of America.

Who were the Boers?How did they influence the European presence in South Africa?
zalisa [80]
The Boers were immigrants from Germany, France and the Netherlands who settled in the First European Colony established in South Africa ( at present day Cape Town) in 1653 by a Dutchman called Jan Van Riebeek. The Boers created very large farms which served to bring much economic gain. At first, the Dutch were only interested in establishing a supply base for the Dutch East India Company in 1652. But over the next 150 years, The Dutch and other immigrants which formed the Boer community moved further inland and began engaging in agriculture and other economic activities, thus encouraging more Europeans to come and settle there.

Briefly explain how the Declaration of Independence reflects each of these principles:. A) popular sovereignty-. B) social contr
Oduvanchick [21]

Popular sovereignty is the idea that government's power should be determined by the people. The Declaration asserts that to secure their individual rights, the people institute governments for themselves -- that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed."

The same phrase within the Declaration focuses on the idea of a social contract - that our agreement to live under a government is an implicit pact between the governors and the governed. Social contract theory was argued by English philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke in the 17th century.  American founding fathers took a number of their ideas from the political philosophy of John Locke.  Locke's <em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> put forth his social contract theory and design for a representative form of government.

We haven't yet addressed natural rights. The strong assertion that all human beings have inherent natural rights is asserted in the most famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, <u>that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,</u> that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Explain the meaning of the terms guerrilla warfare and flexible response in the same sentence.
Vaselesa [24]
A guerrilla warfare is a paramilitary group used during combat, to fight a larger military group. The use of guerrilla warfare during wartime includes ambushes, sabotage, and even raids. These groups are similar to the flexible response in the sense that they are both military strategy. Flexible response was first used by US President John F. Kennedy as a military strategy during the cold war and it refers to the status quo of heavily armed war not limited to nuclear arms. In simple terms, Flexible Response is the capability to annihilate your enemy as it destroys you completely, calling for the prevention of attacks. Even though both terms represent strategic approaches to war, they wage different results. In a sentence, guerrilla warfare leverages power of military groups without compromising the whole power of the army, while flexible response uses the whole power of an army to wage on stability and status quo.
