Answer:

B) A high literacy rate increases the standard of living.

Explanation:

The literacy rate shows how many people are able to read, write, and comprehend the written material. The literacy rate of the country depends a lot on the standard of living. Those who are not literate can’t peruse high education and find a well-paid job, so they are most likely to live in poverty.

It also prevents the country to have more people working jobs that better the living standard such as professors, doctors, economists, scientists, etc. These jobs are vital to the country's development. If people are not educated, they can’t add up to the growth of the country and its economy. Therefore, <u>the standard of life will be lower when there are more illiterate people, and higher when the literacy rate is high. </u>

In general, women do more of the care of the older people than do men. Also, there is a rough hierarchy of caregivers. If the older person's spouse is alive and reasonably healthy, she or he will normally become the primary caregiver; if the spouse is not alive or is unhealthy, an adult daughter is usually next in line; and, if there is no daughter who can manage the care, another relative, such as a son or a sister, may be called upon.

Name 3 things you remember about Imperialism and/or the Imperializing of China (The Opium Wars). *

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The English imperialists did not care about the growing number of opium addicts.
England tried to dominate the sale, production and distribution of opium.
The opium war resulted in England's domination of Hong Kong.

Explanation:

Opium was very popular in China, but it was used as an exclusively medicinal substance. However, when the United Kingdom saw the potential of this substance in China, it used India's poppy crops to produce opium and sell it to the Chinese as a domestic drug. This generated a large number of addicts in China promoting a serious public health problem and a social problem for the country.

To solve this problem, the Chinese government has proposed strong limitations to the opium trade in China. England, feeling hurt, imposed sanctions on China and demanded the payment of compensation that China refused to pay. This culminated in the opium war that was won by England.

With the victory, England demanded the legalization of opium commercialization in China, the opening of free ports, the entry of Christian missionaries into China and the taking over of Hong Kong.
