Answer:

Social: ancient civilizations were very hierarchical, organized in castes. Social mobility was very difficult, this means that if a person was born poor, it was very unlikely for this person to become wealthy later in life.

Political: most ancient civilizations were monarchies, or dictatorships. Republics were essentially non-existant. That is to say that they were ruled by a single powerful man like a pharaoh, or a few people, who had no almost no limits to their power, and who were not elected by the people. Power was instead, hereditary.

Economic: all of these civilizations had an economy that was based on agriculture, because agriculture was the activity that allowed civilization to emerge in first place. The most valauble resource was land, and land was often monopolized by a few powerful individuals, the same people who had political power.

In line 45-46, Mandela says, “We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation buildin

Dovator [93]

I think that what Mandela means when he speaks of nation building is creating a world where everyone is equal and has rights. I think this because we know that there was a huge racial injustice at the time and Mandela was fighting for black rights. He also used the word reconciliation which means making a view or belief compatible with another or the restoration of friendly relations.

I hope this helped.

Why did it take the United States until 1917 to enter World War I? Europeans asked the United States to remain neutral. The majo

Answer: The majority of Americans supported a policy of neutrality.

Explanation:

"Woodrow Wilson did not want war.

When World War I erupted in Europe in 1914, the 28th U.S. president pledged neutrality, in sync with prevailing American public opinion.

But while Wilson tried to avoid war for the next three years, favoring instead a negotiated collective approach to international stability, he was rapidly running out of options. Tensions heightened as Germany tried to isolate Britain in 1915 and announced unrestricted attacks against all ships that entered the war zone around the British Isles.

In early April 1917, with the toll in sunken U.S. merchant ships and civilian casualties rising, Wilson asked Congress for “a war to end all wars” that would “make the world safe for democracy.” A hundred years ago, on April 6, 1917, Congress thus voted to declare war on Germany, joining the bloody battle—then optimistically called the Great War.”
