Answer:
C. national conventions for nominating presidential candidates
Explanation:
The progressives wanted the citizens to have as much influence as possible during the election of the president.
If presidential candidates were chosen by the national conventions, the political parties are the one that will decide which person can run as the presidential candidates. The citizens/voters have no say on it. This will increase the risk that the parties will only appoint nominees that serve the interest of the party, not the citizens.
This is why the progressives favor direct primaries, which enable the citizens to vote for the candidate that should run for the presidential election.
Answer:
Some of the challenges faced by developing countries with regard to health care are the increasing number of people that are aging and will be aging in the coming years. The World Health Organization consider that the number of old people, 65 years old and older, will increase from 249 million to 690 from the year 2000 to the year 2030. This will impact directly the health budget in developed countries in South America, Asia, and Africa because of the elderly demand so much medical attention as they are aging. The World Health Organization suggest these countries focus on preventing campaigns that inform people to take care of their health and supports a healthy living style to prevent chronic diseases. One example of this action could be the World Health Organization campaign of 2002 called "Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions," that focuses on prevention instead of resolution.
N the 1600s, the Dutch West India Company was more powerful and
successful than Microsoft, IBM, or General Motors today. The Company's
thousands of employees had one primary goal: to make money. Investors in
the Dutch West India Company were fortunate. Its annual profits went as
high as 200 or 300 percent. (In comparison, a strong stock today might
return yearly profits of 20 or 30 percent.) In the pursuit of profits,
the Company traded commodities such as spices, sugar, fur, and slaves.
It also fought battles against Spain to gain new territory.
The Dutch West India Company was an offshoot of the Dutch East India
Company, which funded Henry Hudson's voyage to North America in 1609. If
Hudson could find a secret shortcut to Asia, the Company would make
even more profits.
Although
Hudson failed at this mission, his dazzling reports of fur trading
opportunities inspired merchants. About fifteen years later, the Company
sent over some thirty families as colonists and workers. They called
the new colony "New Amsterdam." Later renamed New York, it would grow
into one of the greatest cities in the world.
