What does it mean the civilisation they encountered?

History

rewona [7]3 years ago

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

<u><em>So what is civilisation? In the literal sense it means living in towns, but  I would like to suggest that in modern usage, it tends to embrace the term ‘freedom’, to be involved in what we call ‘democracy’ — though democracy itself is a very slippery term. It is better perhaps to look at the opposite, which is totalitarianism, a long word which denotes a state where the ruler demands not only control over your body, but over your mind too. And it is this demand for control over your mind that marks the totalitarian state, or barbarism. And it is freedom to think that is the essence of civilisation. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>This freedom to think has its origin in economics. In a society ruled by an Emperor or Pharaoh, a Dictator who controls everything, you depend on the ruler for your well-being and for the necessities and luxuries of daily life. You are under the control of the ruler, so you switch off your critical facilities and enthusiastically follow the ruler. You are brain-washed (which in practice can be a not unpleasant form of life).  In economics, this is what is known as the gift exchange society where you pay tribute to the ruler, and the ruler in return gives you the essential luxuries of life as ‘gifts’. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>But once you get control of your everyday economics, you move into a different form of society which we call civilisation, where you have control of what you buy and how you live –and what you think. Economically, this new form of choice depends on money. The essence of money is that it gives you choice, and when you have choice in your everyday life, and you live in a market economy, this brings about a new way of living which we call civilisation.</em></u>

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: 1. A. Plantation

2. C. North

Explanation:

The South's economy was mainly based on Agriculture with large plantations growing Tobacco, Cotton, sugar cane etc. They needed labor on these farms and resorted to slave labor as it was cheaper and they could drive the slaves to work longer and harder.

The North on the other hand had started to industralise and therefore needed skilled labour who could work in the factories. They also looked down on slavery and took the lead in abolishing it.

Which of the following is not required to become a naturalized United States citizen
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

<u>Having fingerprints recorded is not one of the requirements to become a naturalized United States citizen.</u>

Explanation:

Naturalization of a non-native person is the process in which that same person is admitted by a foreign nation to become a citizen. In order to become a naturalized citizen of the United States, the person has to meet certain requirements. Some of them are: being at least 18 years old of age when applying, being already a permanent resident of the United States or a green-card holder, getting a passing score in the US history and government exam, showing good moral, and showing an attachment to the principles that the US constitution represents. Having fingerprints recorded is not one of the requirements, in fact once the person meets the requirements needed and starts the process of naturalization, that is when the government takes the person's biometrics, that include recording her/his fingerprints.
