What factors prompted the Progressive movement?

There were
three main factors that caused the rise of Progressivism. 

First, there was
the economic boom and growth of industrialization that came about at the end of the 19th century
and the beginning of the 20th century.  This boom created huge companies and an economy in which
many workers worked in large factories.  It also brought about intense competition between
businesses and the need for them to be as efficient as possible.  These factors meant that
workers were getting to be mistreated and...

Why did Mrs. Linde marry her husband?

is an old schoolfriend of 's who comes to
visit her inof . They have not seen each other for ten years, during which
time, Mrs. Linde has married and been widowed.

Mrs. Linde was once in love
withbut instead married Linde, even though she did not love him. He proposed at a time when her
mother was ill and bedridden and she alone had to provide for her two younger brothers. Linde
was rich (though his business was precarious and she was left with nothing when he died) and she
tells Nora that she could not in the circumstances justify refusing his offer.

According to her own account, Mrs. Linde married for money rather than love, but she
was actuated by a sense of duty to her family, and perhaps another kind of love for them, since
there would be no one to support and care for them if she married Krogstad. The idea that hers
is essentially a self-sacrificing nature is corroborated by her feelings of emptiness, rather
than the relief Nora suggests she must feel, now that she no longer has to look after her mother
and brothers.

What are the factors that enhance globalization in the third world countries?

One of the
factors that can enhance
globalization in Third World countries is ensuring widespread access to

modern technologies. Examples of modern technologies include the internet and
other
technological devices, such as computers, tablets, and mobile phones.
These technologies will
improve communication and information
access.

Furthermore, the reduction of
trade barriers can
enhance globalization in these countries. Examples of trade barriers include

import tariffs. Reducing these barriers will encourage world trade and significantly
improve the
economic growth of the countries through job creation.

Another factor that

Why should we study political theory?

Political
theory has value in that it provides a framework to answer tough political questions. It allows
one to compare different types of governments such as governments and dictatorships and how
these governments respond to internal and external issues they face. Political theorists also
allow one to think about a government's relationship to the peoplehow much government is needed
and at what point does government become a burden to people's individual will. Political
theorists also examine the responsibilities people have to the government, if any. Some
theorists argue that the state is greater than individuals, while some argue that individual
self-interest is above the needs of the state. Political theorists also examine a government's
priorities. This is important when thinking about how much a government decides to budget
towards defense, social welfare, and maintaining its infrastructure.

What were some of the sociological effects of suburban living after WWII?

Life in
post€“World War II America was largely characterized by mass waves of migration to suburbia and
other outlying areas around cities. While a mere 13% of Americans lived in suburbs prior to
World War II, that figure had spiraled upwards to 50% by 2010.

Sociological
effects were rampant and pronounced as suburbia's influence and importance expanded. Here are
just a few of the most critical points:

Suburban living became synonymous
with "the American dream," driving large numbers of Americans out of already
overcrowded cities. They were able to transition to property owners. Along with that transition
came new attitudes toward issues like community and privacy.

The economic
landscape shifted as the population boom required the simultaneous expansion of retail outlets,
office buildings, and other places of employment. The creation of these additional workplaces
not only expanded the economy, including facilitating a boom in construction, but also induced
further migration.

The racial and ethnic makeup of suburbia was largely
comprised of whites, who were more likely to view underdeveloped or newly developed areas as
places of opportunity. White groups previously divided by ethnicity, religion or nationality
(including Greeks, Poles, Italians, Irish, Jews and Eastern Europeans) found unity in their
"whiteness" and became more integrated. Blacks, Hispanics and other people of color
were largely excluded until the civil rights movement.

Families were largely
composed of young, married, heterosexual couples with children, with sharply defined roles for
men (breadwinners) and women (homemakers). However, even fewer women in suburbia worked outside
the home than their non-suburban counterparts. One study by Otis Dudley Duncan and Albert J.
Reiss Jr. claimed that only 9% of suburban women worked outside the home compared with 27% of
women nationwide. The fact that so many women stayed home while their husbands worked meant
women were largely in a position to shape the attitudes of their neighborhoods.

Suburbia became an incubator for political movements that were either motivated to
maintain the affluent, harmonious, picturesque and crime-free environment promised in "the
American Dream" or upend it. This ranged from grass-roots conservatism to environmentalism
to radical feminism to social justice.

In chapter 2, what is accomplished by Hawthorne's allusion to the Madonna and child? The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Hawthorne'sto
the Madonna and child is
particularly interesting in the first chapter since it was against the
Church
of England, a church which broke from the Roman Catholic Church but yet maintained
its
same liturgy, that the Anabaptists of England broke.  In their attempt to
purify religion
from corruption, the Anabaptists eliminated a hierarchy of
clergymen and stripped the churches
of statues, stained glass windows,
crucifixes, and anything that they felt was superfluous or
distracting to
true worship.

But, in so doing, the austerity of the
Puritans
stripped people of their aesthetic and passionate needs; in so
doing, they corrupted what is
natural to humanity. With the image ofas mother
and child in a religious beauty in his first
chapter entitled "The Prison
Door," Hawthorne points to the loss of such a stringent
religion--one that
would deny true humanity and its beauty--and to the negative severity of a

creed that denies the basic needs of people. 

There are other such
portrayals
of the defeating severity of Puritanism in . 
For instance, when Hester
bringsin Chapter VIII to 's mansion for
questioning, he and the Reverend Wilson remark that
Pearl reminds them of the
children at holiday time in the court of James I.  And, in Chapter
XXI,
Hawthorne as narrator recalls what the Puritans have lost:

The persons now in the market-place of Boston had
not been born to an inheritance of
Puritanic gloom....Had they followed their
hereditary taste, the New England settlers would have
illustrated all events
of public importance by bonfires, banquets, apgeantries and processions. 
Nor
would it ahve been impracticable...to combine mirthful recreation with solemnity....The
dim
reflection of a remembered splendor....

In Chapter I,
Hester on the scaffold with her scarlet A, standing in
her beauty with her precious child, is
"a dim reflection of a remembered
splendor" a beauty of life that has been denied to
the Puritans.  Hester is
not so much in contrast to the sinless Mary as the
"bitter-tempered" and
envious grey-clad women believe.

Describe the historical significance of Andrew Jackson.

Andrew Jackson
was one of the most influential American presidents of all time. He completely changed the
political landscape, and his message of populism still resonates today.

Jackson was seen as representative of the common man. In 1800, only white, male
property owners could vote in a majority of states. As the westward push continued and new
states entered the Union, suffrage expanded. This increase in voters would enable people like
Andrew Jackson to have a legitimate chance to become president.

The political
process was changing in America. New organizations at the state level increased political
participation and were a direct factor in Jackson being elected president in 1828. Jackson
participated in the political process through campaign events that featured buttons, free
drinks, and divisiveagainst his opponents.

Jackson was seen as a self-made
man of the frontier and symbolized the opportunities offered by the west. He was able to carve a
national identity during a time...
