Even though Mexico became independent in 1821, people of Spanish origin still held most of the power. In fact, even though they

were only one percent of the population, they owned 85 percent of the land! These rich estates were known as haciendas. The wealthy people ruthlessly stole almost all the land from the natives and mestizos. Under the independent power, the new improvements really only benefited rich people. Emiliano Zapata led a group of peasants in revolt against this new, unequal independence in 1910. He wanted to return the land to peasants, so he led the burning of hacienda buildings to bring them back to traditional communities. Francisco "Pancho" Villa also led revolts against the haciendas, though he didn't burn them. Zapata and Villa gained many followers, but the Creole landowners had control of the cities. They eventually killed Zapata and Villa. The landowners knew that they couldn't continue to rule without winning more support from the people, so they gave back a little bit of land. The vast majority of Mexicans remained poor.
According to the passage, when Mexico became independent,

A. the benefits were felt mostly by the rich people.
B. the peasants gained total control of the government.
C. haciendas were available for peasants to buy.
D. Creole landowners supported Zapata and Villa.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Generality.

Explanation:

Generality is a term in behavioral psychology, that describes the functional relationships attained in one situation, which is used to predict the obtained relationship in a current or different situation.

In other words, it is the belief that the outcomes of experiments involving schedules of reinforcement, administered on non-human subjects can be generalized and be applicable to humans.

Hence, a science of behavior contributes to a useful technology of behavior change, to the extent that it discovers functional relations with GENERALITY across individuals.

SOMEONE PLESE ANSWER ASAP Goods Across the World. Starbucks and Apple have both engaged in efforts to counter or reassure critic
White raven [17]

Answer:

Companies act in immoral ways to drive profits. By hiring people from 3rd world countries, they have to follow less strict labor laws, minimum wage laws, etc. This is why child labor is so prevalent around poorer asian countries, because they have less strict laws and they can be paid pennies per hour.

Companies drive to act more ethically because it makes their public image look better, preventing boycotts and making customers want to "choose them" simply due to the fact that they are fair on the environment and their employees.

Common sense answer.

1)The pharaoh was both the ruler and the god incarnate, the ancient Egyptians believed that by disobeying him, they could cause him to be angry and summon droughts or floods, or even plague. 
2)Bureaucracy is not a modern invention; it was conceived by the Egyptians over 5,000 years ago. The creation of a bureaucracy in the Old Kingdom was a key factor in the inception of the Egyptian civilization. The king was the supreme head of state. Next to him, the most powerful officer in the hierarchy was the vizier, the executive head of the bureaucracy. The position of vizier was filled by a prince or a person of exceptional ability. His title is translated as "superintendent of all works of the king".

As the supreme judge of the state, the vizier ruled on all petitions and grievances brought to the court. All royal commands passed through his hands before being transmitted to the scribes in his office. They in turn dispatched orders to the heads of distant towns and villages, and dictated the rules and regulations related to the collection of taxes.

The king was surrounded by the court, friends and favoured people who attained higher administrative positions. The tendency was to fill these positions on the basis of heredity. One of the most ardent wishes of these administrators was to climb the bureaucratic ladder through promotions and to hand their offices to their children.M<span>any concepts in modern bureaucracies can be traced to the Egyptians. The hierarchical structure and code of ethics of the Egyptian bureaucracy are echoed in modern governments. Ancient Egyptian bureaucrats, who aspired to higher positions, were counselled to obey their superiors and keep silence in all circumstances, in other words, not to contradict or challenge the wisdom of those in charge. They were expected to have tact and good manners, be faithful in delivering messages, and display humility that verged on subservience. It is perhaps for these reasons that Egyptian officials were called civil servants, a designation that governments have adopted down through the ages. </span>

3)the Egyptians were polytheists, they believed in many gods, from Ra, the king of the gods, to minor river gods
