History

Mila [183]3 years ago

Answer:

A living wage is defined as the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet his or her basic needs. This is not the same as a subsistence wage, which refers to a biological minimum. Needs are defined to include food, housing, and other essential needs such as clothing.

The Gilded Age also was characterized by social reform, such as women's suffrage, workplace improvements, prohibition, and civil service changes. Women were politically active and played a large role in the economy, both as workers and consumers.

“Fire and water are not more heterogeneous than the different colonies in North America.” Explain the meaning of this phrase.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The phrase implies a comparison between two natural materials as different as water and fire, referring to the fact that this difference is similar to the differences between the different British colonies in America.

Thus, for example, the New England colonies were clearly influenced by Puritanism and political conservatism, while others such as Maryland had a clear Catholic influence and a more open mind regarding other religions, cultures and nationalities. Also, while in the north some manufactured goods such as ships were produced, in the south of the country the main industry was agriculture.
