Did it matter that the wheel disappeared in the Middle East?

1 answer:

5 0

Still the basic economic superiority of the camel prevailed. A few wagons reappeared under the Turks. More significantly, the Ottoman Turkish expansion into the Balkans did not spell the end of wheeled transport there. However, in general the use of the camel remained all-pervasive until the advent of European influence which stimulated the building of carriages for use in cities.

Then came the automobile and the end of the contest was in sight. There were setbacks, of course. In World War II, for example, lack of tires often forced the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco) to use camels instead of trucks. But that was temporary. Today even Bedouins keep a truck parked outside their tents. The day of the camel is past, and whoever laments its passing would do well to remember that 2,000 years ago someone else was lamenting the passing of the ox cart.

YES, IT DID

What is the state of women's rights in the United States today ?

qwelly [4]

The role of women in the United States has changed dramatically over the past few decades. For one, more and more women have taken on new responsibilities outside the home by joining the paid workforce. While women made up only about one-third of the workforce in 1969, women today make up almost half of all workers in the United States. Women are also stepping up to lead the country; a record number of women ran for public office in 2012, and a record-high percentage of women are serving in Congress. In addition to making progress on issues of economics and leadership, women have made progress on health issues, which impact women’s personal well-being, as well as their economic security. Over the past few years, women have been able to end gender discrimination by big insurance companies and gain free contraception coverage because of the Affordable Care Act.

In "Plessy v. Ferguson" (1896) the Supreme Court declared that segregating races into separate railroad cars was legal because ?

Westkost [7]

The court came to the decision it was legal because of the Separate-but-Equal Doctrine. They figured that as long as the separate facilities were equal (in that one group didn't have anything better than the other group in the same type of facility) that it satisfied the 14th amendment. Kind of weird to explain, hopefully the helps a bit.
