passage: "The Spanish flu was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history—a potent reminder of the threat posed by disease.
Humanity seems to need such reminders often. In 1948, shortly after the first flu vaccine was created and penicillin became the first mass-produced antibiotic, U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall reportedly claimed that the conquest of infectious disease was imminent. In 1962, after the second polio vaccine was formulated, the Nobel Prize–winning virologist Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet asserted, ‘To write about infectious diseases is almost to write of something that has passed into history.’
Hindsight has not been kind to these proclamations. Despite advances in antibiotics and vaccines, and the successful eradication of smallpox, Homo-sapiens is still locked in the same epic battle with viruses and other pathogens that we’ve been fighting since the beginning of our history. When cities first arose, diseases laid them low, a process repeated over and over for millennia. When Europeans colonized the Americas, smallpox followed. When soldiers fought in the first global war, influenza hitched a ride, and found new opportunities in the unprecedented scale of the conflict.”
"The Next Plague Is Coming. Is America Ready?” by Ed Yong, the Atlantic, 2019
a) Identify ONE environmental factor, alluded to by the author, that is typically present and required for the spread of infectious disease on an epidemic or pandemic scale.
b) Identify ONE specific example of a 20th-century health epidemic that encouraged technological advancement and that is NOT explicitly referenced by the author.
c) Explain ONE specific example of why the optimism of Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet and George Marshall may have been misplaced.
I got a 95% on this
A) One environmental factor that is typically present and required for the spread of infectious disease on an epidemic or pandemic scale is human migration, as it helps spread diseases that may have been isolated in a particular area to many other areas. The author mentions this in the last paragraph, “When Europeans colonized the Americas, smallpox followed. When soldiers fought in the first global war, influenza hitched a ride, and found new opportunities in the unprecedented scale of the conflict.” This shows that when people moved from place to place, diseases were more easily spread. When you look at previous epidemics and pandemics, and even the pandemic currently going on, one thing is always present: the disease was originally isolated in a single area, and then was later spread through migration.
B) One specific example of a 20th-century health epidemic that encouraged technological advancement was the cholera outbreak in the Romanian Army in 1913. This encouraged technological advancement, as it was within the army during the Second Balkan War, and having an outbreak in the middle of that was very dangerous. As a result, vaccines were quickly produced, systems were put in place that would prevent the spread, the infected were isolated, as well as several other procedures. That is just one of many examples of technological advancements made to stop epidemics.
C) One specific example of why the optimism of Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet and George Marshall may have been misplaced is because in the end, vaccines only HELP manage the danger to a person, but there’s not a 100% chance of it eradicating it. Also, vaccines can evolve into new strains, ones that vaccines and the human immune system are not prepared for, so simply saying that infectious diseases are something of the past is ignoring that fact. Infectious diseases can come out of seemingly nowhere, so just because the current pandemic is taken care of, that does not mean that it is gone for good.

Alternative Title: Berlin Conference

The conference, proposed by Portugal in pursuance of its special claim to control of the Congo estuary, was necessitated by the jealousy and suspicion with which the great European powers viewed one another’s attempts at colonial expansion in Africa. The general act of the Conference of Berlin declared the Congo River basin to be neutral (a fact that in no way deterred the Allies from extending the war into that area in World War I); guaranteed freedom for trade and shipping for all states in the basin; forbade slave trading; and rejected Portugal’s claims to the Congo River estuary—thereby making possible the founding of the independent Congo Free State, to which Great Britain, France, and Germany had already agreed in principle.

Identify and describe an example the ways in which conflict led to demographic shifts since 1900. Give 3 specific pieces of evidence.
Explanation: conflict has led to many geographical shifts mainly in Europe. You have WW1 examples which resulted in many conflicts given all the violence that there was. You have treaties made without other countries’ consents like the Treaty of Versailles. You also have the creation of new countries such as Poland, Yugoslavia, Lithuania, Latvia, the separation or independence of Hungary from Austria. Those small countries surrounding Russia were brought up to stop the spread of communism, since communism was spreading like a “plague” therefore communism wouldn’t reach the powers. Then you had Poland which was established and was used in other to block Russia’s attempt of fighting for land from the regions of the great powers. Poland was there as a sort of blockade between Russia and Germany, Britain, and France. Hope that is clearer:)

Which Enlightenment thinker was a supporter of capitalism as the most efficient way for economies to operate, which stood in direct opposition to the mercantile system that was common in Europe at the time?
Answer:
ADAM SMITH
Adam Smith and the Enlightenment
Adam Smith (1723-1790) synthesized and improved on many of David Hume economic theories to create an economic worldview that would influence global economics until the present.
The Enlightenment, a philosophical movement that spread Across Europe in the 18th century, was premised on the idea that reason is the primary source of authority and legitimacy, and it promoted aspirations such as liberty, progress, tolerance, fraternity, constitutional government, and religious toleration.
Abraham Lincoln is known as the Enlightenment thinker that supported the efficient way for economies to operate and so stood against the mercantile system that was common in Europe.
Capitalism is a system based on class creation in the pursuit of overall economic growth, whereas protectionism focuses on economic growth through wealth extraction, which they think is measured by the number of gold bullions in the nation's ownership.

In our society today gun violence is a major issue. What do you feel that we can do to decrease this issue? Do you feel that the steady rise in gun violence cause police officers to be more hostile when approaching people? Do you feel that we will eventually become lawless? 350+ words
Answer:
La violencia con armas de fuego es un problema contemporáneo de derechos humanos de alcance mundial que amenaza el derecho más fundamental de todo ser humano, el derecho a la vida.
La violencia con armas de fuego es una tragedia cotidiana que afecta a la vida de las personas en todo el mundo y causa la muerte de más de 500 personas cada día.
La violencia con armas de fuego puede afectar a cualquier persona, pero, en ciertas situaciones, afecta de forma desproporcionada a las comunidades de color, a las mujeres y a otros grupos marginados de la sociedad.
En ocasiones, la mera presencia de armas de fuego puede hacer que las personas se sientan amenazadas o que teman por su vida, lo que acarrea graves repercusiones psicológicas a largo plazo a nivel individual y comunitario.
El miedo a la violencia con armas de fuego también puede socavar el derecho a la educación o el derecho a la salud cuando las personas temen ir a la escuela o a los centros de salud o si estos servicios no funcionan adecuadamente debido a la violencia armada en la comunidad.
Amnistía Internacional hace campaña en favor de leyes e intervenciones efectivas para prevenir y poner fin a la violencia con armas de fuego.
Una estricta regulación de las armas de fuego junto con iniciativas estratégicas de reducción de la violencia son la forma más eficaz de reducir la violencia armada.
El acceso fácil a las armas de fuego, ya sea legal o ilegal, es uno de los principales motivos de la violencia armada.
Los gobiernos tienen la obligación de extremar la protección de los derechos humanos y crear un entorno lo más seguro posible para la mayoría de la población, especialmente para las personas consideradas más vulnerables. Un gobierno que no controla de forma adecuada la posesión y el empleo de armas de fuego en una situación persistente de violencia armada podría incumplir sus obligaciones en virtud del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos.
Por eso Amnistía Internacional pide a los Estados que cumplan sus obligaciones y establezcan y apliquen leyes y normas estrictas para la prevención de la violencia con armas de fuego. Los Estados también tienen la obligación de establecer medidas de intervención a nivel comunitario para reducir y prevenir la violencia armada en la vida cotidiana de las personas.
Amnistía Internacional hace campaña para que los gobiernos lleven a cabo reformas legislativas sensatas en materia de armas para poner fin a la violencia armada y proteger el derecho a la vida de las personas. Nuestros derechos humanos no están protegidos si nuestros gobernantes no ponen fin a la violencia armada y a las muertes causadas por armas de fuego.

A. School segregation was unconstitutional.
Explanation:
The Brown v. Board of Education case first started when an African American schoolgirl had to walk more than a mile to get to her segregated school when there was a white school only a few blocks away.
Black and white children were not permitted to go to the same schools together. Not only schools but things like restrooms and water fountains were segregated as well. Many of these things got justified by the "separate but equal" clause.
The Brown v. Board of Education case ended up going all of the way to the Supreme Court, where they ruled that segregated schools were in fact unconstitutional. Even if separate facilities were "equal" in nature, they were not equal in the long run. Schools started to become integrated and it became against the law to separate schools by race.

Answer:
After he was stricken with polio, Roosevelt began visiting the therapeutic waters of Warm Springs in the mid-1920s to strengthen his paralyzed legs. He established the Warm Springs Foundation (later the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation), and he became actively involved in the local community. Through Warm Springs, Roosevelt began to study the connections between Georgia's difficult agricultural conditions and its social and educational problems. His New Deal programs, begun immediately upon his inauguration in 1933 and aimed first at economic recovery, would ultimately address the nation's and Georgia's social conditions as well.

what was the important outcome of the US Supreme Court's decision in Miranda vs Arizona
Answer:
People in questioning were told their constitutional rights
Explanation:
In Miranda v. Arizona (1966), the Supreme Court ruled that detained criminal suspects, prior to police questioning, must be informed of their constitutional right to an attorney and against self-incrimination.
Forty years after his conviction, Fred Korematsu once again decided to challenge it. Korematsu's conviction was overturned by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, the same Court that had originally convicted him. The case was heard as a corum nobis case. A writ of corum nobis is a remedy used only in special circumstances to correct errors in a criminal conviction.
The court ruled that newly uncovered evidence revealed the existence of a manifest injustice which—had it been known at the time—would likely have changed the Supreme Court's decision. The decision rested on a series of documents recovered from the National Archives showing that the government had withheld important and relevant information from the Supreme Court that demonstrated that the Army had altered evidence to make it appear that Japanese Americans posed a greater threat of spying and disloyalty.
It is important to note that the corum nobis decision overturned Korematsu's conviction based on the faulty evidence, but did not overturn the constitutionality of the Supreme Court's decision. Why do you think the District Court did this? What do you think the Supreme Court should do with the evidence that showed what the Army did to the Japanese Americans living there during WWII?
Answer: About 10 weeks after the U.S. entered World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942 signed Executive Order 9066. The order authorized the Secretary of War and the armed forces to remove people of Japanese ancestry from what they designated as military areas and surrounding communities in the United States. These areas were legally off limits to Japanese aliens and Japanese-American citizens.
The order set in motion the mass transportation and relocation of more than 120,000 Japanese people to sites the government called detention camps that were set up and occupied in about 14 weeks. Most of the people who were relocated lived on the West Coast and two-thirds were American citizens. In accordance with the order, the military transported them to some 26 sites in seven western states, including remote locations in Washington, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona.
