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.
Each state retains its serenity, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and write that said states here by save rally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general wellfare United States articles of confederation, 1781 Based on the quote, which issue likely concerned it's authors? The state governments having too much power Establishing efficient government services Establishing unity among state governments The central government having too much power
Answer:
Establishing unity among state governments
Explanation:
With the reading of the excerpt presented in the question above, we can see that there was a concern, among the authors of the articles of the confederation, in the way the states would behave in the relationship between themselves. This was because, before the American revolution, the states were colonies and acted completely independently of each other, however, in order for the republic to work and benefit everyone, it was important that these states act as a unit, that is, act as a country. Thus, the excerpt shown in the question above, reinforces the sense of unity and collaboration between states, expressing a concern about this.

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.
On what grounds did the Supreme Court overturn the conviction of emesto Miranda in the case of Miranda v. Arizona?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
The Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Ernesto Miranda in the case of Miranda v. Arizona in that the Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona that people "that are under arrest must be read their rights by law enforcement."
We are talking about the Supreme Case in which the Warren Court dealt with the rights of the accused Ernesto Miranda.
Miranda v. Arizona was a case decided by the Warren court on June 13, 1966. Ernesto Miranda had a written confession for kidnap and r*pe, but the issue was that police interrogated him without the presence of a lawyer, neither the police officers told him he had the right to call a lawyer.
The Court's decision favored Miranda, overturned his conviction and the case was sent to Arizona for retrial.

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.

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.
What are two main factors that made the Catholic Church the most powerful institution in western Europe during the Middle Ages?
Answer:
The two main factors are:
The fact that all of Europe was catholic at a time, until the eastern division of the church and the birth of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
And the fact that the Catholic church enjoyed legitimacy as inheritors of the Roman Empire, at least when it comes to religous power. This gave the Catholic Church acceptance among the many governments in Europe.

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.

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:)
