(currently studying Karl Marx, Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, and David Ricardo)
Hypothetical situation: The United States Congress has decided to put a cap on the salaries of all professional athletes. Top-tiered athletes can make up to 5 million dollars a year, middle tiered athletes up to 2 million dollars, and rookies and developing players between 500,000 and 1 million dollars a year. The owners’ excess profits from concessions, ticket sales, television contracts, and team paraphernalia would be redistributed to supporting the poor and homeless, education, and wellness endeavors in the city of each respective team. Who would support this policy?
Answer:
The idea of redistributing wealth is credited to Karl Marx
Explanation:
Out of the 4 people you named, I am guessing that Karl Marx would support your idea the most. However, there would be no need of capital under complete Marxism.

Can you help me write an essay on #BlackLivesMatter based on the manifestations?
Black Lives Matter
Black lives matter is a political and social movement originating among African Americans, emphasizing basic human rights and equality. Black lives matter started in 2013 when people started using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teen Trayvon Martin in February 2012 because black people weren't being treated the same. It started because Black people were being treated differently and right now everyone should be treated the same. The year is 2020 and people still act like it's the 1900s!
The purpose of Black Lives Matter is to spread awareness and to make a change for equality. The sad thing is that Black Lives Matter doesn't affect any social class, age, etc, it only affects your skin color which is very sad because no one can control their skin color, so it affects African Americans and people who are dark skin. It isn't only happening in America, protests are happening all over the world like the UK, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Canada, Palestine, Syria, and other places, but it's mostly happening in America. For things to change powerful people need to help.
Protests are happening for Black Lives Matter and I think that what the people are doing is good because they are protesting for equality, but some people are taking advantage of the protests and use it to destroy things which makes people think that all these protests are useless, and the powerful people like lawyers, police officers, the president, the government. etc. aren't doing much.
On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in Minneapolis, Minnesota after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer and 3 others, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while he was handcuffed face down in the street. Many people were watching but none of them did anything to help George Floyd because they were not powerful enough. This all happened because George Floyd was suspected of giving a counterfeit $20 bill. This makes me very sad because George Floyd did nothing to deserve this and black people are being treated like this every day just for having a dark skin color which is something they can't control. Black people are given stereotypes, if you're black you are a “thief”, a “killer” and many more racist stereotypes that have nothing to do with the color of someone's skin. Black people are being treated brutally and are being killed by white people who think they are the most superior race.
George Floyd, Sean Reed, Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Garner, Ariane McCree, Steven Demarco Taylor, Terrance Franklin, David McAtee, Natosha “Tony'' McDade, Yassin Mohamed, Kwame “KK'' Jones, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, these are all names of unarmed blacks who were shot and killed by white supremacists, and there's even more but they are too many to name.
Dylann Roof Kills 9 and he is arrested peacefully, Patrick Crusis kills 28 and he is also arrested peacefully, but Eric Garner who Killed 0 people allegedly sold illegal cigarettes choked to death while stating “I can’t breathe”.George Floyd Killed 0 people, allegedly wrote a bad check murdered on camera.
The phrase ”All Lives Matter '' is a phrase used in response to “Black Lives Matter” but it does not represent the same thing. People say it and it is wrong, all lives don't matter until black lives do! You can't just say “all lives matter '' when it's black lives that are suffering. ‘Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter, it's just that right now black lives are the ones that are suffering the most and we should try our best to help them.

Why did the US join Afghan tribes to fight Taliban?
A UN General Assembly resolution called on the Taliban to protect the country's cultural heritage. After al-Qaeda operatives attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, Omar rejected U.S. demands that he give up bin Laden. U.S. forces invaded Afghanistan in October 2001, and the Taliban was quickly overthrown.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a command economy. In your opinion, should America adopt this system? Explain your answer in the form of a paragraph with no fewer than four sentences.
Answer:
Answer is in explanation
Explanation:
In a command economy, the government determines what is produced, how it is produced, and how it is distributed. Private enterprise does not exist in a command economy. The government employs all workers and unilaterally determines their wages and job duties. Some advantages can be less inequality because the government controls the means of production in a command economy, it determines who works where and for how much pay. This power structure contrasts sharply with a free market economy, in which private companies control the means of production and hire workers based on business needs, paying them wages set by invisible market forces. Low Unemployment Levels, Unlike the invisible hand of the free market, which cannot be manipulated by a single company or individual, a command economy government can set wages and job openings to create the unemployment rate and wage distribution that it sees fit. Disadvantages can be Lack of Competition Inhibits Innovation, Critics argue that the inherent lack of competition in command economies hinders innovation and keeps prices from resting at an optimal level for consumers. Although those who favor government control criticize private firms that esteem profit above all else, it is undeniable that profit is a motivator and drives innovation. At least partly for this reason, many advancements in medicine and technology have come from countries with free market economies, such as the United States and Japan. Inefficiency, Efficiency is also compromised when the government acts as a monolith, controlling every aspect of a country's economy. The nature of competition forces private companies in a free market economy to minimize red tape and keep operating and administrative costs to a minimum. If they get too bogged down with these expenses, they earn lower profits or need to raise prices to meet expenses. Ultimately, they are driven out of the market by competitors capable of operating more efficiently.
Answer:
There are many advantages and disadvantages of a command economy one advantage is that everyone is ensured with a job no matter what a disadvantage is that you arent aloud to own private property or businesses and the products made by people might not be very good because they know they will have that job no matter what and dont even have to try

Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
The First inaugural address was delivered on Monday, March 4, 1861, as part of his taking of the oath of office for his first term as the President of the United States in which he was asking for the preservation of the Union during a perilous time, he called for compromise from both his supporter in the NORTH and without further alienating the South but making his point known (“In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war)He likewise declared secession to be wrong ;promised not to interfere with the institution of slavery where it existed.

At the time of Lincoln’s second inaugural address, the civil war is also most coming to an end and the Union’s victory over the South was imminent. Because of this the second speech was based on resolution,also reaffirming a faith in God's will and healing a once-divided nation

which of the three periods you think was most important to world history. Your answer should describe the changes that took place during the period, as well as the short- and long-term effects on Europe and the rest of the world, and it should provide historical evidence supporting the period's importance. It should also include why the other two events are less important than the one you chose
Answer:
In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the “Hellenistic period.” (The word “Hellenistic” comes from the word Hellazein, which means “to speak Greek or identify with the Greeks.”) It lasted from the death of Alexander in 323 B.C. until 31 B.C., when Roman troops conquered the last of the territories that the Macedonian king had once ruled.
Macedonian Expansion
At the end of the classical period, around 360 B.C., the Greek city-states were weak and disorganized from two centuries of warfare. (First the Athenians fought with the Persians; then the Spartans fought with the Athenians during the Peloponnesian War; then the Spartans and the Athenians fought with one another and with the Thebans and the Persians.) All this fighting made it easy for another, previously unexceptional city-state to rise to power: Macedonia, under the assertive rule of King Philip II.
Did you know? Alexander the Great was just 20 years old when he became the leader of Macedonia.
Philip and the Macedonians began to expand their territory outward. They were helped along by a number of advances in military technology: long-range catapults, for example, along with pikes called sarissas that were about 16 feet long—long enough for soldiers to use not as projectiles, but as spears. King Philip’s generals also pioneered the use of the massive and intimidating infantry formation known as the phalanx.
King Philip’s ultimate goal was to conquer Persia and help himself to the empire’s land and riches. This was not to be; King Philip was assassinated by his bodyguard Pausanias in 336 B.C. at his daughter’s wedding, before he could enjoy the spoils of his victories. His son Alexander, known to history as "Alexander The Great," jumped at the chance to take over his father’s imperial project. The new Macedonian king led his troops across the Hellespont into Asia. (When he got there, he plunged an enormous sarissa into the ground and declared the land “spear won.”) From there, Alexander and his armies kept moving. They conquered huge chunks of western Asia and Egypt and pressed on into the Indus Valley.
The Hellenistic Age
Alexander’s empire was a fragile one, not destined to survive for long. After Alexander died in 323 B.C., his generals (known as the Diadochoi) divided his conquered lands amongst themselves. Soon, those fragments of the Alexandrian empire had become three powerful dynasties: the Seleucids of Syria and Persia, the Ptolemies of Egypt and the Antigonids of Greece and Macedonia.
Though these dynasties were not politically united–since Alexander’s death, they were no longer part of any Greek or Macedonian empire–they did share a great deal in common. It is these commonalities, the essential “Greek-ness” of the disparate parts of the Alexandrian world–that historians refer to when they talk about the Hellenistic Age.
The Hellenistic states were ruled absolutely by kings. (By contrast, the classical Greek city-states, or polei, had been governed democratically by their citizens.) These kings had a cosmopolitan view of the world, and were particularly interested in amassing as many of its riches as they could. As a result, they worked hard to cultivate commercial relationships throughout the Hellenistic world. They imported ivory, gold, ebony, pearls, cotton, spices and sugar (for medicine) from India; furs and iron from the Far East; wine from Syria and Chios; papyrus, linen and glass from Alexandria; olive oil from Athens; dates and prunes from Babylon and Damaskos; silver from Spain; copper from Cyprus; and tin from as far north as Cornwall and Brittany.
They also put their wealth on display for all to see, building elaborate palaces and commissioning art, sculptures and extravagant jewelry. They made huge donations to museums and zoos and they sponsored libraries (the famous
libraries at Alexandria and Pergamum, for instance) and universities. The university at Alexandria was home to the mathematicians Euclid, Apollonios and Archimedes, along with the inventors Ktesibios (the water clock) and Heron (the model steam engine).
Hellenistic Culture
People, like goods, moved fluidly around the Hellenistic kingdoms. Almost everyone in the former Alexandrian empire spoke and read the same language: koine, or “the common tongue,” a kind of colloquial Greek. Koine was a unifying cultural force: No matter where a person came from, he could communicate with anyone in this cosmopolitan Hellenistic world.

It is important to consider the historical context surrounding an event when making a historical interpretation because the context provides crucial information about the political, social, economic, and cultural factors that shaped the event. Therefore, option C is correct.
What is an historical context?Historical context refers to the political, social, economic, cultural, and intellectual conditions that surround a historical event, period, or figure.
It includes the specific circumstances, values, attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions that influenced the people and events of a particular time period.
Understanding the historical context is essential for accurately interpreting and understanding historical events, as it allows us to place them in their proper perspective and understand the motivations and actions of the people involved.
By examining the historical context, historians can gain insights into the political and social structures of a particular time period, as well as the larger cultural and intellectual movements that were shaping the world at the time.
Ultimately, historical context is an essential tool for gaining a more complete understanding of the past and its influence on the present.
