Explanation:
The geography of Ancient China shaped the way the civilization and culture developed. The large land was isolated from much of the rest of the world by dry deserts to the north and west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, and impassable mountains to the south. This enabled the Chinese to develop independently from other world civilizations. Map showing the geography of China from cia.gov (click map to see larger picture) Rivers Perhaps the two most important geographical features of Ancient China were the two major rivers that flowed through central China: the Yellow River to the north and the Yangtze River to the south. These major rivers were a great source of fresh water, food, fertile soil, and transportation. They also were the subjects of Chinese poetry, art, literature, and folklore. Yellow River The Yellow River is often called the "cradle of Chinese civilization". It was along the banks of the Yellow river where the Chinese civilization first formed. The Yellow River is 3,395 miles long making it the sixth longest river in the world. It is also called the Huang He River. Early Chinese farmers built small villages along the Yellow River. The rich yellow colored soil was good for growing a grain called millet. The farmers of this area also raised sheep and cattle. Yangtze River The Yangtze River is south of the Yellow River and flows in the same direction (west to east). It is 3,988 miles long and is the third longest river in the world. Just like the Yellow River, the Yangtze played an important role in the development of the culture and civilization of Ancient China. Farmers that lived along the Yangtze River took advantage of the warm climate and rainy weather to grow rice. Eventually the land along the Yangtze became some of the most important and wealthy land in all of Ancient China. The Yangtze also served as a boundary between northern and southern China. It is very wide and difficult to cross. The famous Battle of Red Cliffs took place along the river. Mountains To the south and southeast of China are the Himalaya Mountains. These are the highest mountains in the world. They provided a nearly impassable border for Ancient China, keeping the area isolated from many other civilizations. They were also important to Chinese religion and were considered sacred. Deserts To the north and west of Ancient China were two of the world's largest deserts: the Gobi Desert and the Taklamakan Desert. These deserts also provided borders that kept the Chinese isolated from the rest of the world. The Mongols, however, lived in the Gobi Desert and were constantly raiding cities of northern China. This is why the Great Wall of China was built to protect the Chinese from these northern invaders. Interesting Facts about the Geography of Ancient China Today the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River serves as the world's largest hydro-electric power source. The Yellow River also has the name "China's Sorrow" because of the terrible floods that have occurred throughout history when its banks overflowed. The Taklamakan Desert has the nickname of the "Sea of Death" because of its temperature extremes and poisonous snakes. Much of the Silk Road traveled along the deserts to the north and west of China. The religion of Buddhism is closely associated with the Himalaya Mountains

How is machines an example of the concept of globalization
Answer:
This globalization and free trade machine is constantly exploiting, depleting, and abusing people of the developing world as well as their resources yet it provides absolutely no benefits to the greater working of the planet. The diagram of the machine is missing one key by-product or output per say, which is injustice. You see the natural resources are taken from already impoverished countries, who do not have the means to fight for the conservation of their environment. From these resources, the capitalistic world that we live in emphasizes and encourages materialism which drives production of consumer junk that is not necessary or needed and ends up as waste and pollution back into the natural environment. The labor force needed to provide for the huge demand of junk from the western world is made up of people from poor communities who will work ten-hour days in inhumane conditions making barely enough money to feed themselves. These people will also be unequally affected by the effects of the inevitable pollution and emissions, which come out of the globalization machine and create further problems for the planet and its inhabitants. This can include environmental degradation, negative human health impacts, global warming, infertile land, and ozone layer depletion. Once put into perspective this machine is destroying the well-being of the earth and all of its citizens including fauna and flora. The world is in need of a new machine driving a different world system. In reality, the world should not be based on one machine but on many different ones, which take into account the history, culture, and background of all countries and peoples to ensure all processes within the machine are fair and equal to all.

Drag each tile to the correct location. Identify the role of women in American society before, during, and after World War I. Screenshot Below!
Before the War: Women commonly were not found in the workforce at all before World War I. Many people felt as if women should just stay at home and take care of the children and house, while the men would work at jobs. Some women did not have a problem with this, as this was how they were raised, but some would rather work just like men did.
During the War: During World War I, some women at home took the chance to grow "victory gardens." These gardens were grown at homes, schools, playgrounds, pretty much anywhere. Not only did they grow food and prevent food shortages, but they were also a sense of patriotism and doing something for the country. During this time, some women were even on the front lines working as nurses, as many women were raised with some knowledge of tending to wounds.
After the War: After World War I, women realized that they could do many things by themselves that they did not know they could do. They were so used to relying on their husbands or fathers telling them what to do, that many got stuck in a dependent mindset. Now, many women were realizing that they were in fact independent. Along with women now realizing this, they wanted equal rights and voting rights, which with the women's suffrage movement, which lasted for decades, they eventually got the rights they deserved.

Wisest son ever?
One day, a father went to his three sons and told them that he would die soon and he needed to decide which one of them to give his property to. He decided to give them all a test. He said, "Go to the market my sons, and purchase something that is large enough to fill my bedroom, but small enough to fit in your pocket. From this I will decide which of you is the wisest and worthy enough to inherit my land." So they all went to the market and bought something that they thought would fill the room, yet was still small enough that they could fit into their pockets. Each son came back with a different item. The father told his sons to come into his bedroom one at a time and try to fill up his bedroom with whatever they had purchased. The first son came in and put some pieces of cloth that he had bought and laid them end to end across the room, but it barely covered any of the floor. Then the second son came in and laid some hay, that he had purchased, on the floor but there was only enough to cover half of the floor. The third son came in and showed his father what he had purchased and how it could fill the entire room yet still fit into his pocket. The father replied, "You are truly the wisest of all and you shall receive my property." What was it that the son had showed to his father?

Which of these actions was an economic cause of increased tensions between the North and South?
Dred Scott decision
Protective tariffs
Bleeding Kansas
Lincoln’s election
The answer is Protective Tariffs (the only economic related choice, as Dred Scott and Bleeding Kansas concerned slavery and Lincoln's election was political).
The protective tariff was an economic cause of the increased tension between the North and the South.
Economically, the North had a lot of factories and had become industrialized. The south on the other hand still depended heavily on Agriculture.
High protective tariffs were placed on foreign goods to favor the Northern Industries. This meant that people had to buy more from the North.
This tariff favored the North but caused greater burden on the South who had to pay more for goods that they imported from Europe.
In conclusion the protective tariffs helped to boost the economy in the North while hurting t the south.
