Answer:

The information that should be included in the summary is:

Spaniards came to the mountains in the mid-sixteenth century.

Ancient pottery and rock art have been found in the mountains.

The people who lived in the mountains were hunter-gatherers.

Evidence shows that the mountains were inhabited over 10,000 years ago.

Explanation:

A summary should be composed of the most relevant information that will help the reader to understand the main subject of the original text. Repetitive phrases, with little impact and information that are not relevant to understanding the subject such as "Many of the early residents lived in caves," can be omitted so that the text becomes smaller, but objective and more direct.

How do stereotypes affect a way a culture lives
ra1l [238]

Answer:

" Stereotypes are one way by which history affects present life ".

Explanation:

In social psychology, a stereotype is a generalized belief about a particular category of people. It is an expectation that people might have about every person of a particular group.[citation needed] The type of expectation can vary; it can be, for example, an expectation about the group's personality, preferences, appearance or ability. Stereotypes are sometimes overgeneralized, inaccurate, and resistant to new information, but can sometimes be accurate.

While such generalizations about groups of people may be useful when making quick decisions, they may be erroneous when applied to particular individuals and are among the reasons for prejudicial attitudes.

Negative stereotypes can have harmful consequences for the quality of life of older adults and can also result in a major loss to society. With increases in life expectancy as well as reduced infirmity, many adults are aging well, but negative stereotypes of aging may put society at risk for losing the contributions of these vital and knowledgeable people. The potential individual and social effects underscore the need to understand the content of aging stereotypes in terms of their accuracy and applications. It is especially important to understand how negative stereotypes exacerbate poor performance in areas in which decline is real. That is, beliefs that memory is bad in old age can reduce motivation when increased motivation is needed instead. A framework for predicting and interpreting individuals' behavior is imperative to understand how aging stereotypes drive behavior in both positive and negative ways.

( I don't like stereotypes, I have never discriminated anyone, I consider everyone as my friends. )

What is the central claim Mike Myatt makes in his article “Life Isn’t Fair—Deal With It”? What methods does he use to develop hi
zepelin [54]
Myatt's central claim is that life is not fair. While we cannot control our birth, we can control our choices and attitudes.

Therefore, he argues that life is only as fair as we make it, since we control our attitude and the choices we make. 

To make his point, he uses general example of people who have overcome a variety of difficulties. He uses the specific example of the young man from Africa who came to America with nothing and is now the president of a tech firm. He relates a personal anecdote about his own youth and how he overcame a stroke.

At the end of the article Myatt reiterates that life is not fair, nor should the government try to make life fair. Instead, each individual needs to overcome his or her own difficulties by changing perspective.

What is the significance of alcohol in The Jungle's Packingtown? (Chapters 7, 14, 19)
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

From the earliest chapters, Sinclair describes men purposely seeking out or simply not being able to avoid alcohol. Certainly it is a cheap and easily accessible escape from the horrors of their lives. However, many men drink because bars are the only place in Packingtown to get warm, and men are only allowed to sit in the warm bars if they are drinking. These warm bars also provide food, but again, only to drinking customers. In addition to providing food and warmth, bars are relatively clean in comparison to the filthy, blood-soaked killing floors, which are the only other places men can eat their meals during the workday. Alcohol is yet another way for businesses to exploit the basic needs of hardworking men, perpetuating their struggles within the evil capitalist structure. Bars are businesses like any other, seeking to make as much money as possible. In order to do so, they must encourage men to drink, despite the fact that alcohol offers no nutritional value, is expensive, and weakens the body and mind, rendering exploited men like Jurgis less able to achieve their American Dream. Although Jurgis abstains at first, he begins drinking to ease his physical pain after his grueling work in the fertilizer plant. He also uses it to dampen his emotional pain. As soon as Ona dies, for example, he sets out to "get drunk." Through the working class's relationship with alcohol, Sinclair suggests that it is another form of exploitation (by tavern owners, who are in cahoots with the slaughterhouse and the police) and that in a more perfect society, men would not turn to it in the first place.

Summary of on his blindness by john milton
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

Poem Summary

Many people are familiar with the story of Ludwig Van Beethoven. This man, in spite of being deaf, managed to become a world-renowned composer. What a terrible fate: to have the sense most integral to your art be taken away from you. Similar is the story of John Milton, an English poet, who, by 1655 at age 48, was blind. His ability to write was threatened and, as a result, his relationship with God became complicated.

In On His Blindness, Milton is struggling to understand what God expects of him now that he is losing his sight. He's upset about wasting 'that one Talent which is death to hide' (line 3), which is a biblical reference to the parable of the talents (Matthew 25: 14-30), in which two people invest their talents (in the story, 'talents' are money), while another just hides his talent in a hole and is punished. Milton feels that God expects him to use his talent for writing poetry in a way that honors Him.

Milton is frustrated that his lack of sight is preventing him from serving God when he wants to so badly:

...Though my Soul more bent

To serve therewith my Maker, and present

My true account... (lines 4-6)

Milton's 'true account' refers to his religious poetry. Much of his poetry was concerned with God's relationship to mankind and he considered it a serious duty to write poetry that simultaneously made God's mysterious ways more clear to people and honored God with its craft.

At line 7, Milton wonders if God still expects him to keep writing without his sight, then decides that God is more forgiving than he was giving him credit for, Surely, knowing of his condition and strong desire to please Him, God wouldn't expect anything that he couldn't possibly accomplish, nor would he punish him.

The last half of the poem has a calmer tone. It's almost like Milton realizes that while he's writing that people can serve God in many different ways. It's the intent and the grace with which one deals with hardship that counts
