Answer:
The First Emperor
Qin Shihuang (259-210 B.C.E.) conquered much in this life, but his driving purpose was even greater; he sought to conquer death. In order to achieve immortality, he built himself a tomb—a vast underground city guarded by a life-size terracotta army including warriors, infantrymen, horses, chariots and all their attendant armor and weaponry.

The underground terracotta army found in the First Emperor’s burial complex is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable and mysterious discoveries from the ancient world. A sprawling citadel has been unearthed, complete with gardens and stables, bronze ritual vessels, jade jewelry, and a wealth of gold and silver ornaments.
Besides revealing much about an ancient way of life, observing the physical construction of the underground complex and the methodical production of the figures reveals a set of themes from which we gain a window of insight to the First Emperor’s worldview and enduring influence.

The Inventor Of The First Oral Contraceptive.
Luis Ernesto Miramontes Cárdenas was born on March 16th, 1925 in Tepic, in the state of Nayarit, Mexico. When he became a teenager, he was enrolled at the Preparatory National School of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). He remained at UNAM for his undergraduate work in chemistry and chemical engineering from 1945 to 1949. Later on, in 1948 he began graduate courses and he was required to complete an undergraduate thesis project. In 1950 he began his thesis project not knowing that this would be the start of a worldwide important invention.
In Mexico City, a chemical company called Syntex, which focused on synthesizing hormones, recruited Miramontes to do his thesis projects in one of their official labs and despite being a young student, the 25 year old Miramontes, demonstrated impressive talent and great chemical laboratory techniques and of course Syntex recognized this. Not only did they offer to recruit him to do his thesis in their company but they also offered him a job. He accepted and began working with two seasoned chemists: Carl Djerassi and George Rosenkranz.
Miramontes began working with Djerassi and Rosenkranz on a project to develop a synthetic form of the female hormone progesterone. Although in this time, progesterone was already being used as a contraceptive, Djerassi and Rosenkranz wanted to make it work better so Miramontes began the project. Of course, this was known as an ambitious goal because it required numerous steps in chemical synthesis and the only way to make synthetic progesterone would be to alter natural progesterone through some kind of elaborate chemical process. A complex organic molecule would have to be altered in a certain way, then that chemical product itself had to be altered numerous times in order to make a new molecule with the desired chemical properties, but the struggles that would have to be faced, never stopped Miramontes and he began working under the direction of Djerassi and Rosenkranz.
Miramontes worked out the final step in the process to create a synthetic progestin On October 15, 1951, called norethindrone. The expected application was contraception to replace natural progesterone. Many experiments with laboratory animals and humans showed norethindrone to be eight times more potent than natural progesterone, and that was not the only advantage it had. Everyone knew that progesterone had to be injected but norethindrone was taken orally. This was so important and seen as more convenient and attractive to women.
The thesis project was a success and it earned the student his undergraduate degree, and five years later a US patent. Miramontes was named along with the two senior chemists on US patent 2,744,122 for "oral contraceptives" on May 1st, 1956. Norethindrone was approved by government health agencies around the globe and later on became a prime component of the first oral contraceptive pills. Till this day, it is used in many contraceptive formulations and is an important factor in women's every day life.

the effects of the Civil War (at least 5)
Answer:
The Civil War confirmed the single political entity of the United States, led to freedom for more than four million enslaved Americans, established a more powerful and centralized federal government, and laid the foundation for America's emergence as a world power in the 20th century.
Explanation:
It had many important repercussions which went on to have a deep and long lasting impact on the nation. Among these were the Emancipation Proclamation; the Assassination of President Lincoln; the Reconstruction of Southern America; and the Jim Crow Laws.
You receive a message in a bottle from a tropical island. It’s a page torn from a ship’s log. The document is a little water stained here and there, but you can read most of it. It's a log entry about people trading peacefully. At first glance, nothing seems to be wrong.
But along with the page, there’s another note from people who live on the island. They want to know more about this so-called admiral who visited their island. They have several questions about this log entry.
Now, read this passage from Christopher Columbus’s account for more information about the admiral’s visit:
At two o'clock in the morning the land was discovered . . . [We] saw trees very green, many streams of water, and diverse sorts of fruits. The Admiral called upon the two Captains, and the rest of the crew who landed to bear witness that he before all others took possession (as in fact he did) of that island for the King and Queen his sovereigns . . . Numbers of the people of the island straightway collected together. Here follow the precise words of the Admiral: "As I saw that they were very friendly to us, and perceived that they could be much more easily converted to our holy faith by gentle means than by force, I presented them with some red caps, and strings of beads to wear upon the neck, and many other trifles of small value, where with they were much delighted . . . Afterwards they came swimming to the boats, bringing parrots, balls of cotton thread, javelins, and many other things which they exchanged for articles we gave them, such as glass beads, and hawk's bells; which trade was carried on with the utmost good will.”
[Source: The Log of Christopher Columbus]
Now, think about the event as you read these secondary sources about exploration in the New World:
Age of Discovery
Age of Exploration
You will write a letter to the people of the island explaining who visited them and why. To prepare for that task, think about cause and effect. What was the main cause for Columbus’s journey? What were two short-term effects? Two long-term effects? You can use the outline format below to help organize your thoughts.
Cause:
Short-Term Effects
1.
2.
Long-Term Effects
1.
2.
Answer:
Cause: Columbus needed to track down another course to India, China, Japan and the Spice Islands. Assuming he could arrive at these grounds, he would have the option to bring back rich cargoes of silks and flavors.
Short-Term Effects
In the short term, the journeys prompted the annihilation of the locals of the terrains that Columbus found. Some of them were killed by and large. Others were oppressed.Numerous passed on from illnesses brought by the Europeans. This was the fundamental effect of these journeys in the exceptionally present moment.Long-Term Effects
Later in the long term, Columbus' journeys prompted the control of the area from Mexico south to Peru by the Spanish.This brought about the annihilation of the significant local human advancements like the Incas and the Aztecs. It likewise brought about the enhancement and strengthening of Spain.Explanation:

Social Security provides income to retired, unemployed, and disabled workers. Benefits are based on how long a worker was employed. The comments below are from a discussion between two speakers with different perspectives on the future of Social Security.Speaker A:
Social Security is now facing a real problem. Soon the system will be paying more in benefits to retirees than it is collecting from payroll taxes. If we don’t fix this situation, the system will soon have nothing left. The best solution is to stop paying benefits to retirees with high incomes.
Speaker B:
What you propose is unfair. Workers pay into Social Security their whole working lives. After they retire, they are entitled to receive benefits based on what they have paid into the system. Even if they have high incomes, they are entitled to benefits from their own payments.
How do Speakers A and B differ?Immersive Reader
Speaker A believes too much money is paid to rich individuals; Speaker B sees the wealthy as the main drivers of the economy.
Speaker A fears Social Security will soon not have enough money to pay anyone; Speaker B feels retirees are entitled to benefits they have paid for.
Speaker A would rather invest in schools than pay retirees; Speaker B believes retirees are more in need of government help.
Speaker A believes the current system is unfair; Speaker B argues the system is basically fair.
Answer:
I think B) Speaker A fears Social Security will soon not have enough money to pay anyone; Speaker B feels retirees are entitled to benefits they have paid for.

Was Sherman’s March to the Sea justified? Explain your response.
In asking a specific event and asking whether or not the course taken is justified or not, you are essentially asking whether or not the tactic employed was justifiable or not. Sherman's March to the Sea employed a more common military tactic known as the "scorch-earth policy" which is used in two ways:
Firstly, the scorch-earth policy is used mostly by the defending force. The deployment of this tactic is very similar, in removing any viable transportation courses (such as blowing up bridges, railroads, roads, as well as sabotaging established communication lines), as well as viable food sources, especially crops. Large mobile armies, back in those days, did heavily rely on captured enemy resources to sustain their armies, especially when transportation lines are drawn out great distances.
However, it is important to note that it was Sherman's army that employed this tactic. It gives us two important lessons. Firstly, Sherman understands that war is not always won by just battles, but that, in the greater scheme of things, it is actually a battle of spirit, population, but most importantly, resources. The destruction of the crops show Sherman's understanding that, even if the land was retaken, the crops lost would be a blow to the Southern troops, as well as seeing their native land in ashes. Secondly, Sherman understands the importance of transportation. The destruction of railroads and roads served to impede any active reinforcements in the area as well as a more concentrated attack, as the fastest ways to travel has been destroyed.
The third point of Sherman's March to the Sea is more of a ideology and policy, rather than a strategic justification. Sherman's march to the sea generally freed large amounts of previous slaves, who were left behind to take care of their master's houses while they were at war. This takes a more humanitarian approach, and casts a more positive light in the wake of destruction, in which, even though there was destruction, there was also freedom.
Sherman's March to the Sea is entirely justified, especially in a all-out war like the American Civil War. Remember, there is no Geneva Convention, no "illegal weapons", but rather a loose stratagem that asked for only one thing, to employ everything in their power to grasp the victory. History is written favorably for the victors, and justification comes along with it.

How were the actions of the victorious Allies in the after World War II different from those following previous wars?
From this perspective, the Allies won because their benign, more-integrated societies allowed them to totally mobilize for war, while the conservative, even reactionary attitudes of the Nazis and the Japanese ensured that they lost. ... In World War II, the Allies outfought the Axis on land, in the air, and at sea.
Allies wanted unconditional surrender so they advanced west while soviet played offense in the east. hitler went into hiding and committed sucide while the US launched an atomic bomb on japan ending the war.
After the war, the Allies rescinded Japanese pre-war annexations such as Manchuria, and Korea became militarily occupied by the United States in the south and by the Soviet Union in the north. The Philippines and Guam were returned to the United States. ... Okinawa became a main US staging point.
