What was the Selective Service Act, and why was it passed?

History
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Selective Service Act passed on May 18, 1917, giving the U.S. president the power to draft soldiers.

The reason for the Selective Service Act, though, was that American men had not volunteered all together or certainly not in the numbers needed to raise, train, and deploy an army quickly after the United States declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917.

Which of these explains why there is greater variation in the teachings of Buddhism than in those of Hinduism?
Aneli [31]
Siddhartha Gautama never wrote down his teachings. In contrast, a large body of sacred texts underlies hindu beliefs and traditions. There is therefore less variation in Hinduism's teachings than those of Buddhism.

How the telecommuting impact the economy?
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Telecommuting, also called telework, teleworking, working from home, mobile work, remote work, and flexible workplace, is a work arrangement in which employees do not commute or travel to a central place of work, such as an office building, warehouse, or store. Telecommuting came into prominence in the 1970s to describe work-related substitutions of telecommunication and related information technologies for travel. Teleworkers in the 21st century often use mobile telecommunications technology such as a Wi-Fi-equipped laptop or tablet computers and smartphones to work from coffee shops; others may use a desktop computer and a landline phone at their home. According to a Reuters poll, approximately "one in five workers around the globe, particularly employees in the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, telecommute frequently and nearly 10 percent work from home every day." In the 2000s, annual leave or vacation in some organizations was seen as absence from the workplace rather than ceasing work, and some office employees used telework to continue to check work e-mails while on vacation.
