The history behind what we now know as a television goes back to 1920 when it was invented; nevertheless, it wasn’t until 1950´s when televisions became a house hold item. During the first years after the television´s invention, not many people had them in their houses; the reason being their price; it was too high for the masses, and decided to lower the price, without any success. Televisions were still not purchased by the majority of Americans; they just could not afford it. But, when their popularity started to rise, it happened almost overnight. In 1949, there were approximately, 1 million television sets and that number increased drastically; so much so that by 1950 there were 50 million sets in the houses of Americans.
Paul Gottlieb Nipkow was a German technician who invented the Nipkow disk, named after him; his invention was the most successful for television transmissions at the time. During the 20th century, as television sets became more and more affordable for the average American, companies started switching from analog signals for broadcasting, to digital signals; this was, sending the signal to the TV set along cable television system, which brought along with it, more accessories and commodities for society. After more people started buying TV sets, so did the demand for cable television, and that opened the door for the introduction of the service for house and internet services.
It is safe to say that Paul Gottlieb Nipkow was responsible for the television advancement and changing society in the 20th century forever. From advertising to marketing, cartoons, tv shows and news; as this new technology came about, so did advancement in other indirect areas. During the 1950´s, commercials were more about cars, kitchen appliances and beer. Transatlantic images were now able to go thru, along with the entrance of TV sets into American homes, so did new shows, such as Mickey Mouse, I love Lucy, The Tonight Show and many more. As far as news, it made Americans more and more aware of events happening outside their territorial limits. Beyond their county, city, state, country or continent. World War II was able to be transmitted.

The correct answer to the first question is answer B ("They claimed a divine approval to rule").
The kings of the Zhou Dynasty were actually the first to utilize the concept of "mandate of heaven" <u>to legitimize the overthrowing of the previous dynasty (the Shang) and their subsequent ruling of China</u>. They believed that <u>the monarch embodied the natural order of the universe and was likened to the son of God</u>. It was different from the concept of "divine right" of kings in Europe, because it also contemplated rebellion. A ruler could be taken out by rebels if he was unjust. If he were to be defeated this would also prove he was unworthy. Natural disasters such as floods and famines, were interpreted as a sign that the heavens did not approve of the current ruler.
The correct answer to the second question is answer D ("Through trade on the Silk Road").
In times when sea travel was yet very under-developed, one of the only two routes existing on land to travel West, was the Silk Road. The territories of China were isolated from the west by the planet's highest mountains and vastest deserts, which would've made the country's prosperity endangered. <u>However, the Shang, Zhou and Han dynasties worked to excel at producing multiple kinds products that were lacking in Europe such as silk, paper and porcelain</u>. Through the Silk Road, westerners could reach China in search of these greatly valued goods that they could only obtain there.
Hope this helps!
