Answer:

The Klondike Gold Rush is credited for helping the United States out of a depression. Still, it had a horrific impact on the local environment, causing massive soil erosion, water contamination, deforestation and loss of native wildlife, among other things. The gold rush also severely impacted the Native people. With that pronouncement, the Klondike Gold Rush was on! Within six months, approximately 100,000 gold-seekers set off for the Yukon. Winter temperatures in the mountains of northern British Columbia and the Yukon were normally -20 degrees F., and temperatures of -50 degrees F.

By the time the stampeders arrived in the Klondike to search for gold, it was too late to leave because the summers are short in the North. Each man had to build shelter for the winter, and then endure seven months of cold, darkness, disease, isolation and monotony.  The Palm Sunday Avalanche on April 3, 1898 is estimated to have killed sixty-five people on the Chilcot Trail.

Answer:

The Klondike Gold Rush was an event of migration by an estimated 100,000 people prospecting to the Klondike region of north-western Canada in the Yukon region between 1896 and 1899. It’s also called the Yukon Gold Rush, the Last Great Gold Rush and the Alaska Gold Rush.

Gold was discovered in many rich deposits along the Klondike River in 1896, but due to the remoteness of the region and the harsh winter climate the news of gold couldn’t travel fast enough to reach the outside world before the following year. Reports of the gold in newspapers created a hysteria that was nation-wide and many people quit their jobs and then left for the Klondike to become gold-diggers.

What was unique about the life and work of leonardo da vinci?
Luda [366]
He was a scientist and artist, and little know fact is that he also dabbled in writing, although it obviously did not take. He broke through barriers of scientific research that many years later would still be considered modern.

When we say the media is a business, what do we mean by that? How does that affect the way the media cover politics?
Len [333]

Answer:

"Starting a media business to provide video, graphics, and other publicity campaign services to clients, who may not have an in-house marketing department, involves developing a business plan that describes your expertise and how you plan to create advertising, marketing and other promotional materials for your customers"

In other words:

Media is a way to promote and sell things like body image, products, and the biggest politics. Almost everyone has a form of social media so it's a perfect way to market things to all ages and genders and companies pay them for it. Ever seen in little words "sponsored" on top of an add? That means the company who made the add is paying those people to promote that. News channels are paid to update on politics whether its true or not. Therefore; It's business.
