Answer: The stock market lost 14 billion dollars that day
According to Jewish tradition, the Israelites were in Egypt for 210 years (Rashi commentary, on Exodus ch.12). For the first century, they lived in peace and plenty, as long as Joseph and his brothers were still living. After that, they were enslaved by the Egyptians. The enslavement was gradual, in steps, eventually becoming harsh and crushing (Exodus ch.1). At the end of that time, God sent Moses (Exodus ch.3) to demand that Pharaoh free the Israelites; and He brought plagues upon Egypt (Exodus ch.7-12) when Pharaoh refused.
As a related topic, a brief biography of Moses may be pertinent here:
Moses was born 245 years after the death of Abraham. Pharaoh had decreed that Israelite boys be killed (Exodus ch.1), but the daughter of Pharaoh took pity on the infant Moses (Exodus ch.2) and raised him as her own son. He was forced to flee after killing a cruel Egyptian taskmaster, and went to Midian, where he wedded the daughter of Jethro. He eventually achieved the highest level of prophecy (Deuteronomy ch.34) and was called upon by God (Exodus ch.3).
The importance of Moses cannot be overstated. He brought the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery (Exodus ch.12). He received the Torah from God (Exodus 24:12) and later recorded it in writing (Deuteronomy 31:24). He went up on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights (Deuteronomy ch.9-10) and brought down the Two Stone Tablets with the Ten Commandments (Exodus 31:18). He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40). He was the humblest of men and the greatest of prophets (Numbers ch.12).
The boy's counsel could argue that the
sentence is cruel and unusual punishment. This is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment. The boy does not have the judgment of an adult and cannot be punished as an adult. In fact, even if the boy were an adult, life in prison could be a cruel or unusual sentence.
Answer:
preoperational; concrete operations
Explanation:
Jean Piaget has given the theory of cognitive development in which he has mentioned four different stages including sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
Preoperational stage: This is the second stage in the cognitive development theory and starts from the age of two years and lasts through seven years of age in a child's stage. At this stage, a child is being engaged in manipulating symbols and symbolic play.
Concrete Operational Stage: This stage is the third stage and starts at seven years of age and lasts through eleven years of a child's life. In this stage, a child is engaged in using logical operations or thought and therefore the child can put logic only to physical objects.
