Answer 1

Answer:

C. agriculture and manufacturing

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Oklahoma's economic history is divided into four periods. The first period covers the nineteenth century, encompassing settlement by American Indians of the Southeast followed by new arrangements facilitating private land ownership. The second extends from 1900 to the onset of the Great Depression in 1930. The third ends in 1973 with the first of the major oil shocks. The fourth comprises the energy boom and bust of the late twentieth century, along with contemporary conditions.

The century from 1800 to 1900 encompassed the time of Indian and white settlement. During the nineteenth century Oklahoma was characterized by very high ratios of land to labor and capital, by almost total dominance of primary (natural resource based) production, and by unique institutional and cultural features, of which the effects of some remain important in today's economy. The initial settlement by the Five Tribes in the 1820s, 1830s, and 1840s in what is now Oklahoma (at that time Indian Territory) did not reflect free-market labor migration in response to income differentials. Added to the coercion of removal was the fact that the Five Tribes had adopted the institution of slavery in their former southern setting. Slave-owning Indians brought with them an additional labor supply.

Economic analysis of Oklahoma prior to white settlement is complicated by the cultures of the Five Tribes. Some members of those groups had adopted the dominant white culture's modern economic and political systems prior to Removal. Others, frequently full bloods, did not wish to become part of the modern sector. There was thus a dual economy. The modern sectors of the Five Tribes apparently prospered during the period from removal to the Civil War. Tribal governments were reestablished, and although land was owned collectively, the tribes granted effective control to large-scale landholders raising cotton and livestock. No doubt per capita incomes grew significantly during this "Golden Era."

Why was Napoleon's crowning as emperor of France a significant event of the French Revolution?

Answers

By crowning himself andtaking the title of Emperor of France, Napoleon established the legitimacy of his position and hereditary rule. He secured the faith of his supporters, the compliance of his Royalist dissenters and did away with the last vestiges of the revolution to become the highest authority in France.

Napoleon established the legitimacy of his position and hereditary rule by establishing his own coronation and assuming the title of Emperor of France.

Napoleon's crowning changed the political and social scenario.

How Napoleon's crowning changed the scenario?

Napoleon symbolically demonstrated his refusal to surrender to Rome or any other authority by crowning himself. This was crucial in order to reassure his friends and put down any potential uprisings or disorder by establishing himself as France's ultimate authority. Only the Pope's presence made this possible. Despite the revolution, France remained a strongly religious nation, and the monarchy and the Catholic Church, the traditional twin powers of control, nevertheless had sway over French culture and the national psyche.

Napoleon diminished the power of the pillar of the Church by establishing himself as Emperor, which in turn gained control of the pillar of monarchy. Due of the Pope's attendance, the populace perceived the coronation as having received religious endorsement. Napoleon intended for this to give the appearance that he was France's ultimate authority and consequently more powerful than the Church.

According to Professor Linton, many historians consider Napoleon's overthrow in 1799 to be one of the major "step-changes" in European history because it put an end to the French Revolution.

The basic objectives of the French Revolutionaries on individual liberty, equality, freedom of speech, and religious tolerance were largely cemented by the new Napoleonic regime. Napoleon himself stated that the "French Revolution need fear nothing" and that he was bringing the Revolution to an end, but the truth was undoubtedly far different. Napoleon Bonaparte even proclaimed himself Emperor Napoleon in 1804, as is well known.

Was Napoleon eventually successful in putting an end to the French Revolution's ideals in the long run? At the conclusion of her piece, Marisa Linton notes that these values had a "fight back" in the Nineteenth Century and have continued to shape ideas of modern democracy ever since.

In order to ascend to the position of ultimate power in France, he won the confidence of his followers, the assent of his Royalist dissenters, and the eradication of the remaining remnants of the revolution. Napoleon continued to get stronger. He achieved his greatest triumph at Austerlitz almost exactly one year later, and he also had early success in the Peninsula War. With the fall of Spain, his failed campaign in Russia, and his abdication in April 1814, his standing and influence, however, fell.

Because of demographic changes.

Explanation:

Our society is experiencing a severe demographic change, which will directly affect social security, causing an increasing deficit.

This demographic change is happening because the birth rate in the country is getting smaller, moreover, with the expectation of life expectancy getting higher, we can conclude that the country has more old people than new people and this will get more evident over the years. However, this trend decreases the number of workers, able to pay social security taxes, but social security will be increasingly necessary. As a result, there will be a lot of money going out and little money going in, which will generate the deficit.

Halloween is known for costumes, pumpkins, trick-or-treat, black cats, witches, ghosts and other spooky traditions. Although the traditions of Halloween are well-known, its origins are not. Halloween as we know it today originates from both Celtic and Christian traditions. The origin of the holiday dates back 2,000 years ago with the Celtics ancient festival called Samhain, which was celebrated on October 31 and marked the end of summer and the coming of winter. This festival was celebrated the night before their new year, November 1. According to Celtic mythology, the night before the new year the veil between the worlds of the living and dead was blurred, making it easier for spirits to pass through. The Celtics dressed in costumes of animal skins, had a bonfire and burned crops as sacrifices to their gods in order to keep the evil spirts away. Halloween is also rooted in Christian tradition. In 690 A.D. Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon to honor Christian martyrs. This created the Catholic feast of All Martyrs Day. Years later Pope Gregory III would change the feast to All Saints Day to honor all of the saints. This feast is celebrated on November 1, the same day as the ancient Celtic new year. In 1000 A.D. the church would make November 2 All Souls Day as a day to honor the dead. This day was very similar to the Cetltic festival of Samhain, with costumes of saints and angels, bonfires, and honoring the dead. The Christian connection to Halloween has a lot to do with its name. The name Halloween stems from the nickname for the day before All Saints Day: All Hallows Eve. Hallow means holy person, in reference to the saints. The een in Halloween is a contraction for eve. All Hallows Eve eventually was shortened into Halloween and was popularized by a poem by Robert Burns called Halloween. Over the years, Halloween has morphed into a secular holiday with the distinct traditions we all know and love today. Probably most notable is the jack-o-lantern, which has its own history. The tradition of pumpkin carving comes from an old Irish legend of Jack, a man who tricked the devil and got him stuck in a tree. According to the legend, Jack let the devil go but the devil promised he would never allow Jacks soul to enter hell. When Jack died and was denied entry into heaven, the devil kept his promise and denied Jack entry into hell. When Jack asked how he was supposed to leave, the devil threw him a flaming ember to help him see his way out. Because it was his favorite food, Jack always had a turnip with him. He hallowed out the turnip and placed the ember inside, lighting his out throughout the world looking for a final resting place with his jack-o-lantern. On All Hallows Eve, the Irish would hallow out turnips, beets, and gourds to ward off evil spirits and keep Jack away. When the Irish immigrated to America, they started to use pumpkins instead as they were much larger.

The plane ride that never endsIve Been Flying for almost Thirty Hours and The Flight Attendants Wont Stop CryingThirty hours ago I hopped on a late-night flight from New York heading to Los Angeles. After boarding I saw that I had an entire row to myself. Take off passed without incident, and soon I was stretched out for a nap across the row.I slept for a few hours, I dont know how long, but I woke up to some severe turbulence. Its possible that the lights in the cabin went out for a moment, but I was so disoriented that its hard to say.I checked my phone to see that it was 4:03 AM, which I figured gave me about an hour until we landed. When I looked out my window, I was shocked to see nothing but wide open ocean. My jaw dropped; theres obviously no ocean between New York and Los Angeles.I hit the button to call the flight attendant and spent the next few minutes wracking my brain for a lake that couldve been possibly been big enough to explain what I was seeing. I jumped when the attendant flipped off the light. She was grinning from ear to ear, and tears were pouring down her cheeks.How can I help you sir? she asked.I froze for a moment at her reaction before deciding to just ask my question. Where are we? Why does it look like were flying over an ocean?She wiped her cheeks to clear the tears, still grinning wildly. Sir, well be landing in about an hour.I, uh, OK, thank you, I said.After she left I checked the clock on my phone again. 4:03 AM blinked back at me.It hadnt changed.I had to have been waiting with my call light on for at least five minutes. How was it possible that it hadnt changed at all?I opened up my laptop and saw it too displayed 4:03 AM. I pulled out my phone, started a stopwatch in the app, and spent the next two hours looking back and forth between the clocks, waiting for them to change.They never did.I tapped the shoulder of an older woman sitting in the row ahead of me. She looked back, an annoyed expression across her face. Yes? she asked.Do you know how long until we land? I asked.She narrowed her eyes. That flight attendant said it would be about another hour.I shook my head in confusion. That flight attendant? We talked almost two hours ago! We shouldve landed already.She stared at me as if I was crazy. I was going to continue trying to convince her, but I felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun to see a male flight attendant grinning down at me, tears pinging off his cheeks onto my shoulder.Sir, Im going to ask you to calm down, or Ill be calling the Captain.I told him that wouldnt be necessary and sat back. He removed his hand and stepped away.The flight attendants continued to stop by every few hours offering meals. My stopwatch continued to tick up and is now telling me that Ive been on this plane for more than thirty hours.Ive explored all of coach and tried talking to some of the other passengers, but theyve all told me that theyre expecting to land in an hour or so.Around three hours ago I tried getting into first class. I made it past the curtain but was escorted back by two grinning flight attendants. Their grip on my arms were like iron.Sir, the seatbelt sign is on, one said. Please remain in your seat with your buckle fastened. Well be landing in about an hour.Id just about given up hope when a woman came down the aisle dressed in a business suit. She didnt look at me or slow down, but she dropped a piece of paper onto my tray as she made her way to the bathrooms at the back of the plane.I shot a look around before unrolling it.It said, Are you stuck too?I pulled out a pen and wrote Yes. Its been thirty hours.I folded the scrap of paper up and set it on the tray closest to the aisle. She left the bathroom and picked it up as she passed.Its been twenty minutes since then. I dont know why, but I dont think the flight attendants would like it if they knew we were talking. It doesnt matter. I have to do something.
