Which text in this excerpt from Twenty Years at Hull House by Jane Addams demonstrates the lack of concern for poor Immigrant co

mmunities that was frequently shown by politicians and others with influence?
"One of the striking features of our neighborhood twenty years ago, and one to which we never became reconciled, was the presence of huge wooden garbage boxes" fastened to the street pavement in which the undisturbed refuse accumulated day by day. The system of garbage
collecting was inadequate throughout the city, but it became the greatest menace in a ward such as ours, where the normal amount of wasted was much increased by the decayed fruit and vegetables discarded by the Italian and Greek fruit peddlers, and by the residuum left over from
the piles of filthy rags which were fished out of the city dumps and brought to the homes of the rag pickers for further sorting and washing... "It is easy for even the most conscientious citizen of Chicago to forget the foul smells of the stockyards and the garbage dumps", when he is living
so far from them that he is only occasionally made conscious of their existence, but the residents of a Settlement are perforce constantly
surrounded by them. During our first three years on Halsted Street, we had established a small incinerator at Hull House, and "we had many
times reported the untoward conditions of the ward to the city hall." We had also arranged many talks for the immigrants, pointing out that although a woman may sweep her own doorway in her native village and allow the reuse to innocently decay in the open air and sunshine, "in a crowded city quarter, if the garbage is not properly collected and destroyed, a tenement-house mother may see her children sicken and die," and that the immigrants must therefore not only keep their own houses clean, but must also help the authorities to keep the city clean.

The text that demonstrates the lack of concern for poor Immigrant communities that was frequently shown by politicians and others with influence is:

"We had many times reported the untoward conditions of the ward to the city hall."

  • This text shows that the politicians are fully aware of the immigrants' poor neighborhood situation but chose not to act.
  • Since, they have been reported to, on many occasions, this means, they know, but are not ready to show concern.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is "We had many times reported the untoward conditions of the ward to the city hall."

Compare and Contrast Discuss President George H.W. Bush’s foreign policy by comparing and contrasting his decisions regarding th
Zanzabum
President George H.W. Bush is a very conservative and pragmatic leader. He showed these traits in dealing with foreign affairs. Before acting on a situation, he studies the policies first. An example of his conservatism and pragmatism involved China.

When the Chinese government gunned down their people who conducted a peaceful protest, the US government didn't react as harshly as its people wanted. They imposed limited sanctions. This is because President Bush knows that they still have to deal with China in the future. He did not burn down the bridge on this foreign relation.

Que diferencias hay entre las corrientes que explican el origen de la humanidad creacionistas y cientificas?
Gnesinka [82]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no se anexan opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

¿Qué diferencias hay entre las corrientes que explican el origen de la humanidad Creacionista y Científicas?

Cuando hablamos de la perspectiva Creacionista, estamos hablando de un postulado religioso que indica que la creación del hombre proviene de la voluntad de Dios. Se basa en los textos de las llamadas sagradas escrituras o Biblia Cristiana. Esta óptica de la creación del hombre se plasma en el primer libro del Antiguo Testamento, llamado El Génesis.

La perspectiva Científica indica que el hombre es producto de una evolución natural de las especies. Una delas teorías científicas más reconocidas en este sentido es la Teoría de la Evolución de las Especies, del científico Charles Darwin.

Para la ciencia, el hombre es el producto de la evolución de miles y miles de años, hasta llegar a ser una creatura H*mo Erectus para finalmente convertirse en un H*mo Sapiens.

Explanation:

Okay so basically Hamilton and Jefferson really had opposing views on how they saw the future of America ... hamilton would bring forth an idea and Jefferson would be like yeah no <3 that's unconstitutional... but Washington typically leaned more with hamilton just because thats generally more where he gravitated towards in terms of being biased if that makes sense.
