what was the invention that "revolutionized the diffusion of knowledge"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1846, the United States Congress established the Smithsonian Institution, dedicated to “the increase and diffusion of knowledge,” using both the bequest and the language from British scientist James Smithson’s will. Higher education differs from the Smithsonian, which combines cutting-edge research with a network of museums staffed in part by scholars and freely accessible to the public.

Many believe that the Peace of Versailles became a cause of World War II. What do they mean then? Explain!

Answers

Answer:

When Germany signed the armistice ending hostilities in the First World War on November 11, 1918, its leaders believed they were accepting a “peace without victory,” as outlined by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in his famous Fourteen Points. But from the moment the leaders of the victorious Allied nations arrived in France for the peace conference in early 1919, the post-war reality began to diverge sharply from Wilson’s idealistic vision.

Five long months later, on June 28—exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo—the leaders of the Allied and associated powers, as well as representatives from Germany, gathered in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles to sign the final treaty. By placing the burden of war guilt entirely on Germany, imposing harsh reparations payments and creating an increasingly unstable collection of smaller nations in Europe, the treaty would ultimately fail to resolve the underlying issues that caused war to break out in 1914, and help pave the way for another massive global conflict 20 years later.

The Paris Peace Conference: None of the defeated nations weighed in, and even the smaller Allied powers had little say.

Formal peace negotiations opened in Paris on January 18, 1919, the anniversary of the coronation of German Emperor Wilhelm I at the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. World War I had brought up painful memories of that conflict—which ended in German unification and its seizure of the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine from France—and now France intended to make Germany pay.

Answers

The correct answer is C. Totalitarian

Explanation

In addition, it promoted a mass movement in which it was intended to frame the entire society to form a new person in a perfect society. Finally, it was characterized by using political propaganda to exalt its leaders. According to the above, the correct answer is C. Totalitarian.

Answers

Explanation:

British raj, period of direct British rule over the Indian subcontinent from 1858 until the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947. The raj succeeded management of the subcontinent by the British East India Company, after general distrust and dissatisfaction with company leadership resulted in a widespread mutiny of sepoy troops in 1857, causing the British to reconsider the structure of governance in India. The British government took possession of the company’s assets and imposed direct rule. The raj was intended to increase Indian participation in governance, but the powerlessness of Indians to determine their own future without the consent of the British led to an increasingly adamant national independence movement.

1. Do you think the state can exist without the concepts of Political Science? Why.?


2. In your opinion, what does the quote “Man is by nature a political animal means.”?

Answers

Answer:

1: By modern standards of international law, no. According to article 1 of the Montevideo Convention a state needs to possess 1) a permanent population, 2) a defined territory, 3) a government, and 4) the capacity to enter into relations with other states.

As a practical matter a state without a government lacks the ability to be represented abroad. Without a government no group is authorized to exercise sovereignty internally. A state without a government cannot interact with, cannot negotiate with, and cannot communicate with other states.

2: I think it means that by nature we are use and need politics. Politics means Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. Which means no matter what we use politics to survive.

Explanation:

Hope it helps!

1) Honestly, a state/nation probably wouldn't survive without the concepts of Political Science/governance. Thomas Paine said government is a "necessary evil", because you need government to protect the rights of its citizens from threats both foreign and domestic. However, a government should only do what its meant to, as the Constitution states; "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..." It is when government abuses its powers that it becomes a detriment to the welfare of society. As George Washington said, a government is like fire, a dangerous servant and a fearful master. If you control the fire, it can be very beneficial, but the moment it gets out of your control, it becomes catastrophic.

2) Now, Aristotle's quote here can have two meanings; (a) by human nature, we are all inclined to social interaction and drawn to political associations for our social needs. Or (b), the "animal" portion describes how humans are naturally selfish and only looking to benefit themselves. Politics can potentially be based in violence where humans turn to their "animal side", shedding their rational and cooperative anchors.

Karl Marx used this term to describe the working class who would
eventually overthrow the government.

From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.Without the information provided by the second paragraph, the reader might draw which of these conclusions about Dr. Pascal?
