Think about the ideas of the pre-Socratic philosophers. Do you agree with any of their ideas? Why or why not?

Answer:

Presocratic philosophers are the Western thinkers preceding Socrates (c. 469-c. 399 B.C.E.) but including some thinkers who were roughly contemporary with Socrates, such as Protagoras (c. 490-c. 420 B.C.E.). The application of the term “philosophy” to the Presocratics is somewhat anachronistic, but is certainly different from how many people currently think of philosophy. The Presocratics were interested in a wide variety of topics, especially in what we now think of as natural science rather than philosophy. These early thinkers often sought naturalistic explanations and causes for physical phenomena. For example, the earliest group of Presocratics, the Milesians, each proposed some material element ¾ water, air, the “boundless,” as the basic stuff either forming the foundation of, or constituting, everything in the cosmos.

Such an emphasis on physical explanations marked a break with more traditional ways of thinking that indicated the gods as primary causes. The Presocratics, in most cases, did not entirely abandon theistic or religious notions, but they characteristically posed challenges to traditional ways of thinking. Xenophanes of Colophon, for example, thought that most concepts of the gods were superficial, since they often amount to mere anthropomorphizing. Heraclitus understood sets of contraries, such as day-night, winter-summer, and war-peace to be gods (or God), while Protagoras claimed not to be able to know whether or not the gods exist. The foundation of Presocratic thought is the preference and esteem given to rational thought and argumentation over mythologizing. This movement towards rationality and argumentation would pave the way for the course Western thought.

How do paragraphs 1-3 contribute to the text’s central ideas?

A
The first three paragraphs propose the central idea that the 1917 Bolshevik takeover was technically not a revolution.
B
The first three paragraphs lament the cost of the Russian Revolution and the negative change the country would experience under communist rule.
C
The  first paragraph defines “revolution” as a force of the people’s will to overthrow the government, as opposed to the incorrect use that describes a small party’s forceful coup; this introduces the central idea and question: was the Russian Revolution a true revolution?
D
The first three paragraphs introduce the idea that the Russian Revolution—rather than being a simple coup, in which sometimes the term “revolution” is incorrectly used—was a complex chain of events and causes.

have a great day and stay safe this Halloween

The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four or five thousand. They were bowled over by this army, utterly unprepared for it. They had organized strikes in the garment trade, small ones, usually confined to a single shop, but never before had they undertaken something on so vast a scale. They might fail, might be laughed at by the whole of New York as well as John Dyche and the ILGWU men, and all the same they knew this was the challenge they'd been hoping for — their chance to show the world they were more than highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were more than irresponsible little girls.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Sugar has left a bloody trail through human history. Sugar plantations from Africa to the Caribbean and Louisiana and as far as Hawaii are haunted by stories of brutality, torture, r*pe, and murder. When slaves rebelled, they often took gruesome revenge on their masters, only to face even more horrific reprisals when the owners and overseers regained control. Indenture was a step better than slavery, but masters did their best to intimidate workers to keep wages low and silence critics. Violence was the very soil from which sugar sprang. The only way to fight sugar masters, it seemed, was for the workers to be harder, tougher, and more willing to accept bloodshed than the owners. Gandhi began to see that there was a way for the indentured Indians to strengthen themselves without having to rely on machetes and guns. Freedom, he realized, did not come only from rising up against oppressors or tyrants. It could also be found in oneself. The mere fact that the sugar masters treated their workers as some form of property did not mean the Indians had to accept that definition. In fact, it was up to them to claim, to assert, their own worth, their own value. A man who had his inner, personal dignity was free—no matter how a boss tried to bully him. Gandhi’s years in South Africa became a laboratory, as he experimented with how to be a truthful, free person. Finally, he was ready to put his ideas into practice.

Which statement best describes the claim the authors make in this passage?
A). Gandhi believed that violence should be used only as a last resort when fighting oppressors.
B). Violent uprisings were common, but Gandhi worked to show that resistance could be nonviolent.
C). Life for indentured workers was difficult, and sugar masters treated them like property.
D). Workers' freedom depended upon the way that plantation owners treated workers.

Have you ever wanted to escape your life for just a little bit without consequence? When I feel like this, I love to read and/or listen to music. Just sitting down with a good book, I seem to leave my body and go to another world. Or just down in a dark room all by myself with some music and just listening, not paying any attention to anything else in the world. I am reading one minute, and the next, it is like I am the main character in the book. I love it when I sit down and tell myself that I am gonna read for an hour, then look up, and half the day has passed. If I ever need to relax after a long day of tests, then I turn off all my lights in my room and pick a playlist, and before I know it, I am passed out for the night.

Will give brainliest for the first best answer! Read the excerpts from Team Moon and the NASA article.

And only now—a solid, panic-stricken, gut-wrenching, heart-palpitating ten minutes by the clock but feeling like an eternity later—did it sink in for John Coursen, Tom Kelly, and a lot of the other Grumman folks who had poured years of their lives into building the lunar module: Their baby was on the moon. Let the cheering begin!


When the lunar module lands at 4:18 p.m. EDT, only 30 seconds of fuel remain. Armstrong radios "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."
