Answer:

The Dawes Act was passed by Congress on February 8, 1887, regulating the distribution of land to Native Americans, in the Indian Territory that will become Oklahoma in 1907. It carries the name of the Massachusetts senator Henry L. Dawes, his principal initiator. The law was amended in 1891 and in 1906 by the Burke Act. It remained in use until 1934.

Explanation:

The law pursued two main objectives: Firstly, the community structure of the Indians was to be broken and the Indians thus integrated into American society. The Indians should become farmers. As such, according to official opinion, they would need far less land than they claimed for their traditional non-sedentary lifestyle as hunters and gatherers. The Indians themselves fought mostly against a life as a farmer, especially those of the northern Plains. These saw the farm work as unworthy and restrictive. Another advantage of the parcelling saw the government in the thus liberated surplus land, which they could sell at a profit to whites. Overall, the Indians lost thereby 36 million hectares of a total of 55 million hectares in 1887.

Corruption is a social crime.why?

german

Answer:

Corruption is the single greatest obstacle to economic and social development around the world. But it does not just steal money from where it is needed the most; it leads to weak governance, which in turn fuels organized criminal groups and promotes crimes such as human trafficking, arms and migrant smuggling, counterfeiting and the trade in endangered species.

In the run up to the 13th United Nations Crime Congress being held in April, different crimes are being highlighted, showing their impact on development and how vital it is to tackle them to achieve sustainable development. In February 2015 the focus is on corruption, outlining the scale of the problem and telling its transnational story.

In your words, discuss the events that took place during the development of life in the west.

miskamm [114]

More and more people moved westward to claim lands that were once inhabited by Native Americans. This was encouraged by the government. This also led to several conflicts with Indians that would later lead to a war between the Indians and U.S. army. In the end, the west was completely settled completing the U.S. expansion to that area.

The caste system in India was used for what purpose?

NeX [460]

It was used to recognise the value of people (High and Low) and gave opportunities and respect to the high class people and not to the low class. Anyways, this was not a good idea as it discriminated people. In present India, caste system is not used as it causes Inequality.

Hope it Helped!
