What was the most impactful part of this speech and why do you think MLK wrote this speech now that you have learned more about Dr. King? I HAD A DREAM SPEECH
Answer:
The most impactful part of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech is likely the repetition and emotional delivery of the phrase "I have a dream" and the imagery it evokes of a future in which racial equality has been achieved. The speech, which was delivered on August 28, 1963, during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, was a call for an end to racism and discrimination against African Americans in the United States.
In the speech, King draws on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as well as the Bible, to argue that all people, regardless of race, are entitled to the same rights and opportunities. He also emphasizes the importance of nonviolent protest and peaceful civil disobedience in the struggle for civil rights.
King likely wrote this speech at this time because it was a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. The March on Washington was one of the largest civil rights rallies in history, and it brought together more than 200,000 people, including representatives of many different ethnic and religious groups, to demand equal rights for African Americans. King's speech was a powerful call to action that helped to galvanize support for the Civil Rights Movement and to inspire future generations to continue the struggle for equality and justice.
Explanation:
Answer: King's “Dream” speech would play an important role in helping pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and the pivotal Selma to Montgomery march that he led in 1965 would provide momentum for the passage later that year of the Voting Rights Act.
Explanation: Because they weren't allowed to vote.

Responses
A the Columbian Exchange.the Columbian Exchange.
B Triangular Trade.Triangular Trade.
C the Middle Passage.the Middle Passage.
D Mercantilist theory.
Answer:
This would most likely be the Middle Passage, and therefore C.
Explanation:
Let's go each answer one by one.
First, the columbian exchange was more of trade between the newer North America (New World) and Europe (Old World). This included things like livestock, food, culture, and diseases. While slaves were traded, they were not done in such quantities as 12 million.
Next, the Triangular Trade. While the Triangular Trade did include a cycle of trade of raw materials to Europe. finished goods to Africa, and manpower to America, the requirements asked for may be applicable for this event, but another choice is more specific and therefore better. (Even then, the Triangular Trade has Europe, America, and Africa. Not just the African x America.)
Then we have the mercantilist theory. Maximise exports, minimize imports. Has near nothing to do with the requirements on a foundational level.
That leaves us with C. The Middle passage was a portion of the Triangular Trade, but it was only between Africa & America. While roughly 12 million slaves were transported, it took around 80 days with a 15% death rate which might mean those requirements might be taken from a different source. With that in mind however, it can be seen that C is the best option.
↓What are three ways that God speaks to us today?↓
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Words We Hear
The first way God speaks is the one that’s most often associated with hearing his voice: words we hear. While we would all love to hear an ‘audible’ voice, hearing God’s voice speak in this way appears somewhat rare and particularly reserved for those moments when we’re about to step out into the traffic! The word ‘audible’ itself may indeed be a misnomer – according to my doctoral research, most of those who have experienced it, say it would not have been heard by those around them (See Waiting for God to Speak Out Loud? Think Again). Mostly it seems, the Spirit speaks to us inaudibly and internally – with a message that sounds much like our own thoughts – i.e the ‘still small voice’ of Elijah’s experience (1 Kings 19:9-13).
When God speaks in words, he may give us a single phrase or he may use full sentences. He may use a wordplay (eg. Jeremiah 1:11-12) or give us a riddle that calls us to ponder (Numbers 12:8). Often he’ll ask a question to get us thinking (1 Kings 19:9, 2 Chronicles 1:7) and as the conversation continues, he reveals something more significant later on.
2. Pictures We See
The second way God speaks is in pictures that we see. As God said through the prophet Jeremiah; “Which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or to hear his word?” (Jeremiah 23:18, italics mine). We hear his message through words, but we see his message through pictures.
At first, this may seem an unusual way to speak, but we need to remember picture language is the most basic of languages. When children first learn to read, we give them a picture book to practise with – not the Oxford Dictionary. Further, imagery is the most expressive way to communicate which is why it is often said that a picture tells a thousand words. Perhaps this is why God communicates in this way so often in the Scriptures, particularly in the Old Testament where dreams and visions comprise ⅓ of the content (Read: Dreams – God’s Favourite Form of Communication).
When God speaks in pictures, his message comes in dreams when we’re sleeping or visions when we’re awake. Sometimes the picture speaks symbolically and requires interpretation (see for example; The Meaning of Vehicles in Dreams). Other times, the scene is more literal.
Sometimes God’s visual messages are full of riddles, poetry and allegorical forms that are not easily interpreted or measurable. These can be compared to the parables of Jesus which use images or scenes to communicate an idea. Walton suggests that the reason word pictures are used by God is to engage the right side of our brains.1 (This idea was touched on in the podcast: Are Women Better at Hearing God’s Voice?)
Communication in picture form is a way of speaking that the Western church often finds difficult to accept. Writers like Dallas Willard2 and Wayne Grudem3 have gone so far to say it is not a valid way to hear God’s voice. The reasons are primarily historical – an unfortunate product of Reformation thinking that downplayed the so-called mystical forms of spiritual experience. In fact, imagery is the most common form of communication in the Scriptures and can be the most powerful and creative way of all (Read Why God Speaks in Dreams and Visions or listen to this podcast as an example).
3. Emotions We Feel
Finally, God’s messages may come packaged as emotions we feel. In other words, we sense what God is saying to us. The emotion of the Holy Spirit is felt physically and this in itself communicates a message.
So the presence of hope may invade us, comforting us and calling us forward (Galatians 5:22-23, 1 Corinthians 14:3). Peace becomes a guide to lead us (Colossians 3:15) and a deep-seated conviction may turn us around (John 16:8). A friend of mine with a ministry in healing often experiences a sense of sadness when she meets someone who the Holy Spirit wants to touch in a profound way.
One of the reasons why dreams can be such powerful communicators is because the emotion we experience in them becomes part of the message. Daniel felt deep anguish when he first experienced his visions (Daniel 10:1-9), John found himself weeping (Revelation 5:4) and Peter was revulsed by what he had seen in his trance (Acts 10:14). Of course on the other hand, feelings of guilt, shame, fear or condemnation are never a part of God’s communiqués to us.
So God speaks to us in words, pictures and emotions. There are other forms too – although these are not as common. In my doctoral studies, I’ve interviewed people who have heard from the Holy Spirit through the senses of taste and smell! God packages his message to us in a myriad of forms. He is a masterful communicator who knows how to get his message across to those who are listening.

which fl constitution article is most important for the state gov? explain
Each article of the Florida Constitution serves an essential purpose in the governance of the state. However, Article III is often regarded as the most important for the state government as it outlines the powers and responsibilities of the legislative branch.
Article III establishes the Florida Legislature, which is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate. It details the procedures for electing legislators, creating and passing laws, and the budgeting process for the state. The legislative branch is responsible for creating and enacting laws that affect Floridians' daily lives, from education and public safety to taxes and infrastructure.
Additionally, Article III specifies the requirements for legislative sessions, committee operations, and the duties of legislative leaders. It also gives the Legislature the authority to investigate state agencies and officials, approve or reject gubernatorial appointments, and override a governor's veto with a two-thirds majority vote.
In summary, Article III is the most important article for the state government as it establishes the legislative branch's powers and responsibilities, which play a critical role in shaping Florida's laws and policies.

For this assignment, you will write at least 200 words describing the positive and negative effects of settling the West, using evidence to support your reasoning. Your response should also include a description of the effects of railroads on the physical environment.
Answer:
Settling the West had both positive and negative effects on the region and its people. On the positive side, settlement brought economic growth, increased population, and the expansion of the United States. New industries emerged, including mining, ranching, and agriculture, which created jobs and increased trade. The development of railroads also helped connect the West to other parts of the country, making transportation of goods and people faster and more efficient.
However, there were also negative effects of settling the West. The displacement and mistreatment of Native American populations was a major injustice. The forced relocation of indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands, often to reservations with limited resources, led to the loss of their culture, traditions, and way of life. The destruction of natural habitats and ecosystems through deforestation, overgrazing, and mining also had negative effects on the environment. The use of natural resources, such as water and timber, often led to overexploitation and depletion, further damaging the environment.
The development of railroads in the West also had significant effects on the physical environment. Railroads required large amounts of resources, including timber for railroad ties and fuel for locomotives. Deforestation and mining for resources led to soil erosion, water pollution, and the destruction of ecosystems. The construction of railroad tracks often required blasting through mountains and laying tracks over sensitive habitats, further damaging the environment.
In addition, the introduction of new species of plants and animals, often brought by settlers, had unintended consequences on the environment. Invasive species disrupted the natural balance of ecosystems, outcompeting native species and causing ecological harm.
In conclusion, the settling of the West had both positive and negative effects, and it is important to recognize both in order to understand the impact of this period of history. The effects of railroads on the physical environment were significant, and the long-term consequences of these developments are still being felt today.
Compare and Contrast: These Meso-American societies all developed independently from the rest of the world. Yet in many ways, they developed similar and quicker than places we have studied. In what ways do these three societies look similar or different to other cultures we have studied throughout the year.
(the societies are: INCANS, MAYANS, AZTECS)
Answer: The Incan, Mayan, and Aztec societies developed independently from the rest of the world, yet they share some similarities with other cultures we studies throughout history.
Explanation: Similar to the ancient Egyptians, these Mesoamerican societies developed complex agricultural systems, built impressive architectural structures, and developed, and developing sophisticated writing and astronomical systems.
However, unlike ancient Greeks and Romans, these societies lacked a centralized government and instead relied on a decentralized system of city-states. Additionally, the Incan and Aztec societies were characterized by a strong military presence and a tradition of human sacrifice, which sets them apart from many other cultures throughout history.

Belief systems can shape the trajectory of a civilization by influencing its laws, moral codes, and social norms. For instance, ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia and Egypt were deeply influenced by their polytheistic religions, which guided their political structures and societal practices.Conversely, the rise of civilizations can also impact the development and dissemination of belief systems. As societies become more complex and interconnected, the exchange of ideas and beliefs becomes possible through trade, conquest, or cultural diffusion. This can lead to the spread and adaptation of belief systems across different civilizations, as seen in the diffusion of Buddhism from India to various parts of Asia.The rise of civilizations and the development of belief systems are intricately linked, with each influencing and shaping the other.

2. In the context of the text, how has America changed over time? How has America’s
treatment of Mexican Americans changed? Has it changed dramatically? Cite evidence from the text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answe
Answer:
Explanation:
America has undergone significant changes over time, with its treatment of Mexican Americans being a particularly salient example. In the early twentieth century, Mexican Americans experienced substantial discrimination and marginalization. This treatment was often rooted in a perception of Mexican Americans as inferior and in need of control. However, in the latter half of the century, there has been a marked shift in attitudes towards Mexican Americans, with greater acceptance and integration into American society.
The emergence of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s marks a turning point in the treatment of Mexican Americans. This movement sought to address the systemic discrimination against Mexican Americans, challenging the exclusionary practices of white-dominated institutions and advocating for equal rights. By the 1980s, the Mexican American community had made meaningful progress, with greater political representation, educational attainment, and access to economic opportunities.
However, this progress has been uneven, and challenges remain. Even in the 21st century, Mexican Americans face discrimination in areas such as housing and employment, and are disproportionately affected by poverty and lack of access to healthcare. Moreover, the Trump administration's anti-immigrant policies, including the separation of families at the border and the termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, have further exacerbated the challenges faced by Mexican Americans.
Despite these ongoing challenges, there is evidence of continued progress and increasing acceptance of Mexican Americans. For example, in recent years, Mexican American culture has become more mainstream, with greater appreciation for Mexican cuisine, music, and art. In addition, the rise of Mexican American representation in politics, media, and entertainment has helped to challenge stereotypes and promote greater understanding.
In conclusion, the treatment of Mexican Americans in America has changed dramatically over time, with significant progress made towards greater equality and acceptance. However, challenges remain, and ongoing efforts are needed to address discrimination and promote greater inclusion. By drawing on evidence from the text, personal experience, and other literature, art, and history, it is clear that understanding the history and ongoing struggles of Mexican Americans is essential to promoting a more just and equitable society.

Research Paper – Roughly 500 words (5-7 paragraphs) about the topic you choose. Your paper should include detailed descriptions of your topic and its importance both during the Renaissance and its impact up through today. Research should be cited appropriately and should include at least 2 appropriate sources of information (NO WIKI!). The research paper should be on Galileo Galilei
Explanation:
Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and mathematician who lived from 1564 to 1642. He is widely considered to be one of the most important scientists of the Renaissance period, and his work had a profound impact on the development of modern science. Galileo made significant contributions to the fields of astronomy, physics, and mathematics, and his work challenged many of the prevailing scientific beliefs of his time.
During the Renaissance, Galileo's work helped to usher in a new era of scientific inquiry and discovery. He was one of the first scientists to use the telescope to study the heavens, and his observations of the moon, planets, and stars revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Galileo's discoveries also challenged the geocentric model of the universe, which held that the Earth was the center of the universe and everything else revolved around it. Galileo's observations of the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus provided evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system, which held that the sun was at the center of the universe.
Galileo's work was not without controversy, however. His support for the heliocentric model and his criticisms of the Catholic Church's interpretation of scripture brought him into conflict with the Church, and he was eventually placed under house arrest for the final years of his life. Despite this, Galileo's work continued to influence scientific thinking and discovery long after his death.
Today, Galileo is remembered as one of the most important figures in the history of science. His contributions to astronomy, physics, and mathematics laid the foundations for much of the scientific research and discovery that followed. Galileo's work also helped to establish the importance of empirical observation and experimentation in scientific inquiry, a principle that remains central to scientific practice today.
In conclusion, Galileo Galilei was a key figure in the Renaissance period who made significant contributions to the fields of astronomy, physics, and mathematics. His work challenged many of the prevailing scientific beliefs of his time and helped to usher in a new era of scientific inquiry and discovery. While his work was not without controversy, his contributions to science have had a lasting impact that can still be felt today.
