Answer:

  • Their wives simply did not like the tortillas the corn hybrid made
  • The farmers did not like the flavor

Explanation:

This is in relation to the <em>''The Introduction of Hybrid Corn to Spanish  American Farmers in New Mexico'' </em>by<em> Anacleto Apodaca. </em>

The United States Department of Agriculture had tried to introduce a new hybrid corn to the Rio Grande valley in the 1940s to increase the yield there. They succeeded in doing so and the harvest became bountiful.

A couple of years later however most of the farmers had stopped planting the new seed and the reason they gave was because their wives did not like the tortillas made from the new corn and they did not like the flavor as well.

how has the holocaust influenced your way of thinking or your world view? use a primary source to back up your claim.
QveST [7]
It makes me wonder about which groups in the world have influence and which ones do not, in Russia anywhere from 12-20 million Orthodox Christians were killed by the Soviet regime. The world is largely unaware of this, yet everyone knows about the holocaust. Why is this? Is it because Jews have a disproportionate representation, even though they are only 1.4% of the nations population? The truth is shocking.. Yes they do. http://i.stack.imgur.com/PPhcg.jpg

miskamm [114]

Apartheid is specifically associated with South Africa - when there is a question mentioning this word, it's very likely that it's connected to this country. South Africa is also the correct answer here. Apartheid ended in 1994 and 1997 is the year when the new Constitution came into power.

Leader Ronald Reagan Dwight D. Eisenhower Margarita Thatcher
White raven [17]

Here are your matches:

<u>Ronald Reagan</u>

  • I challenged the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall.  I also maintained a hard line against communism.

<u>Dwight D. Eisenhower</u>

  • My administration created the idea of brinkmanship--going to the brink of nuclear war to achieve our aims.

<u>Margaret Thatcher</u>

  • I was good friends with leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States and helped end the Cold War by bringing them together.

<u>Nikita Khrushchev</u>

  • I pulled missiles out of Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and prevented the Cold War from escalating into a nuclear war.

<u>Harry S. Truman</u>

  • I made the decision to drop the atomic bomb, but I also became known for Marshall Plan and the doctrine of containment.

<u>Josef Stalin</u>

  • I began the Cold War in Europe by creating the Communist Bloc.  I also stole atomic secrets from the United States and built my own bomb, thus escalating tension in the early Cold War.

<u>Mikhail Gorbachev</u>

  • My policies were designed to give more personal and economic freedom to people in the Soviet Union.  I had good relations with many leaders in the Western Bloc.

A bit of added detail:

I'd like to explain more about one item in the list above -- the policy of "brinkmanship" during the Eisenhower administration.

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under US President Dwight Eisenhower. Dulles held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship."  In an article in <em>LIFE </em>magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

Why do you think the teachings of st. Augustine and st.Thomas Aquinas were important to people in the Middle Ages.
pogonyaev

Because two of them were shaping the image of the Catholic church and affected the everyday's life of people. Also, they influenced the theology of the church a lot.

Explanation:

  • St. Augustine is one of the foremost theologians and philosophers in the Christian West. His works exerted a great influence on the development of Roman Catholic and later Protestant theology.  
  • Although he was a Manichean in his youth, he later fought as a Christian bishop against the Manicheans. He was proclaimed a saint in the Christian West, which was later accepted in the Christian East, but with certain fences relating to some of Augustine's theological views, which proved controversial from the point of view of Christian orthodoxy.
  • Thomas Aquinas, is one of the greatest theologians and philosophers of the Middle Ages. His teachings are still very popular today.
