You're probably aware that Islam is a religion practiced by Muslims. Despite the controversial headlines surrounding the religion, Islam has a rich history and several noteworthy traditions and beliefs. It's believed to have originated in the 7th Century in the territory known today as the Middle East. Islam, which means 'surrender,' is based upon the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Muhammad was born in the city of Mecca, today considered a holy site, and began preaching about the existence of a single god. In the grand scheme of things, Muhammad is thought to have reinforced monotheism in the Arab world.
In Islam, Muhammad is believed to have received revelations from Allah, which he wrote down. These writings formed the verses found today in the Qur'an, which is the most holy text in Islam. The Qur'an is considered sacred and contains the literal word of God, as relayed to Muhammad.
Today, many practicing Muslims pray up to five times a day, fast during holy holidays, and in many cases, take pilgrimage to sacred sites. In Islam, these acts are known as pillars. There are five pillars of Islam, which each Muslim must practice. The pillars consist of the belief in only one God, ritual prayer five times daily, giving to those in need, fasting through Ramadan (the holy month), and pilgrimage to Mecca (Muhammad's birthplace) at least once in a Muslim's lifetime. The first pillar, or the belief in one God, is key to understanding Islam.

Explanation:
The sun is closer to Earth than any other star.
What evidence from the passage supports this statement?- read this- After the sun sets, take a look at the night sky. On a clear night, you’ll be able to see stars scattered across the black expanse that we call our universe. If you’re lucky, you might be able to spot some stars that look bigger than others—they shine brighter and attract our attention more than their smaller neighbors do. You might wonder: why are some stars brighter than others?
After much observation, scientists discovered the way stars appear to us depends on more than their actual size—it’s also about how far they are from us. Therefore, the farther a star is from Earth, the smaller it will appear to us. The closer it is, the bigger it will look.
Try to think of the biggest star you’ve seen in the sky. An easy one, right? The sun! That’s because the sun is closest to us compared to all other stars, located at just a short 150 million kilometers from Earth.
The next one? That’s a tougher question. Many people answer Alpha Centauri, but some don’t know that it’s actually a cluster of three stars—Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, and Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is 4.24 light-years away and closest to our sun. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. We use this measurement because light is the only thing in the universe that maintains a constant speed. However, even though Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the earth after the sun, you can only see it with a very powerful telescope. That doesn’t make sense—didn’t we just say that closer stars appear larger and more visible?
Well, Proxima Centauri is what we call a red dwarf. Red dwarf stars are very small, typically having less than half the mass of the sun. That means they generate less energy than the sun. Most stars burn hydrogen for fuel. Similar to the way a car uses gas for power, a star uses hydrogen for energy. Red dwarfs burn hydrogen very slowly, which means they generate little light compared to stars like the sun.
Proxima Centauri is the closest star after the sun, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s what we consider close in our minds. To completely understand how far away this star is, let’s think about traveling 4.24 light-years away. NASA has built one of the fastest spacecrafts in existence, called New Horizons, which travels at about 60,000 kilometers per hour. Even at this speed, it would take the spacecraft 78,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri from Earth.
Sadly, the first few closest stars are not visible to the naked eye at night, which means we can’t see them while we’re stargazing from our homes or backyards. The closest star we can see at night is called Sirius, or the Dog Star. While Proxima Centauri is only 4.24 light-years away, Sirius is 8.6 light-years away. However, since Sirius is so large (almost twice the size of the sun), we can see it in the night sky.
So go outside and see what you can find up there!
Answer: The closer it is, the bigger it will look.
Try to think of the biggest star you’ve seen in the sky. An easy one, right? The sun!
Explanation: it really says that the sun is the closest! Hope this helps

In the early 18th century the economy of France was depressed. The government was deeply in debt and taxes were high. In addition, the French controlled the colony of Louisiana, a vast settlement in the interior of North America. The Louisiana Colony included the Natchez district and the area along the Mississippi Gulf Coast in present-day Mississippi. France was the first European country to settle this area of North America (1699–1763). –"John Law and the Mississippi Bubble," Jon Moen What was the state of the French economy in the early 1700s?

1. How would you describe the word complex in your own words?
2. What makes a culture or society complex?
3. What would a complex society be like?
4.How would a simple society be different?
5. What are some characteristics that a society might have to be considered complex?
6. How does the society maintain order and provide for their needs and wants?
Answer:
Explanation:
1. multiple different parts.
2.Culture is a complex system of behavior, values, beliefs, traditions and artifacts, which is transmitted through generations. Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.
3. Complex society refers to societies with states and social classes. Three kinds of complexity are involved: there are socially and culturally differentiated and unequal groups; social segments have specialized activities and roles; and these societies are geographically complex, with unequal exchange between specialized regions.
4. People love and need to work – not simply being employed in a pointless job they hate, but work that gives them a sense of purpose. Moreover, work ought not to be a systematic way of justifying one’s existence, for then unemployed people like myself would be surplus to requirement and sent to the proverbial gallows. Work also ought not to be based on competition; an ethic we see in both social Darwinism and capitalism. Rather, work should be about mutual aid and societal benefits. Which benefits society more: healthy food, good education and healthcare, or an entertainment industry that’s become a dangerous escapist distraction, and a drug industry producing substances – alcohol and tobacco – abused by children, teenagers and adults alike? (This is not hyperbolic language, but personal experience.)
Hope i helped!! <3
Community allotments using permaculture would provide both healthy food and education. Children love helping and learning about the garden, and retired elderly people could also generally help here. People also need their own personal time to rest, cultivate their own identity, and enjoy life. Outside of the very specialised areas where simple training does not suffice (as, for example, in medicine) work ought to be shared and rotated. This is practically possible in our societies now. Someone could work three days a week in two different jobs and still easily be a student or pursue other interests.
5. complex systems of belief
6. Social order is maintained by people with the greatest political, economic and social resources. According to political theorist Karl Marx, power is unevenly distributed in society, which means that social order is directed by an elite few at the expense of the majority. Social order can be constructive when achieved through voluntary participation of the majority class. It is oppressive when administered through an authoritarian government.
1)composed of many interconnected parts; compound; composite: a complex highway system. characterized by a very complicated or involved arrangement of parts, units, etc.: complex machinery. so complicated or intricate as to be hard to understand or deal with: a complex problem.
2)A complex society is characterized by features such as: State with a large population wherein its economy is structured according to specialization and a division of labor. ... Large scale agricultural development, which allows members of society time for specialized skill sets. Organized political structure.
3) A complex society is characterized by features such as: State with a large population wherein its economy is structured according to specialization and a division of labor. ...

1. How does our unit essential question (How did issues of power, wealth, and morality influence exploration and colonization in North America?) connect to desires for God, Gold, and Glory?
2. How could exploration of a new land bring power to a person? To a nation?
3. Why might nations feel compelled to spread their religious traditions outside of their own borders?
4. Is the desire for gold/wealth a personal desire or a patriotic desire? Can it be both?
5. How does the desire for power and wealth connect to or conflict with the desire for morality?
Answer:
How could exploration of a new land bring power to a person? To a nation?
Explanation:
The motivation for exploring new land was the lack of resources in one's home nation that sent them around the world seeking untapped resouces. The discovery of new land with provided explorers with the power to obtain these resources such as gold or animal hides, and take them back to their home nation, thus making the rich and in turn, powerful.
Colonial nations obtained power through the exploration of land by exploiting the people they colonized and the materials that their land had to offer. This power was given to them through mercantilism. Britain is a great example of that. They facilitated the slave trade, collected the cotton, tobacco, sugar, etc, and distrubted those products worldwide. As no other nation could produce what Britain was providing, the other nations became reliant on Britain for these products, ergo making them very powerful.
How did Aśoka’s belief in nonviolence contribute to better relations with other empires?
A. Aśoka used spies to help him stop invaders.
B. Aśoka stopped using war to expand his empire.
C. Aśoka created a well-trained standing army.
D. Aśoka paid taxes to outside people to avoid attacks.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
bc i payed attention and thats on periodt
Aśoka stopped using war to expand his empire did Aśoka’s belief in nonviolence contribute to better relations with other empires. Hence, option B is correct.
Why Aśoka’s belief in nonviolence?Aoka did not abolish the death penalty, but he did restrict the use of state violence as a tactic in the administration of justice for crimes. Aoka applied nonviolence or the reduction of violence to all living things, not only people, in accordance with his Buddhist views.
Ashoka's pillar and rock edicts, which gave him access to a huge audience and established a long-lasting historical record, are largely responsible for his fame. He is remembered as a role model for a king who governed the vast and varied Mauryan kingdom with dharma at the core of his philosophy.
As shown in the sculpture at Sanchi Stupa's South Gateway, Ashoka had a grotesquely pumpkin-like visage and was a small, paunchy guy.
Thus, option B is correct.

How is power divided amongst the 3 branches of government and how does the system of “checks and balances” ensure that each branch does not exceed their power?
Answer: Separation of powers divides power among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The system ensures that each branch does not exceed their power by making the legislative branch makes laws, but the President in the executive branch can veto those laws with a Presidential Veto. The legislative branch makes laws, but the judicial branch can declare those laws unconstitutional. The executive branch, through the Federal agencies, has responsibility for day-to-day enforcement and administration of Federal laws. These federal departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities that vary widely, from environmental protection to protecting the Nation’s borders.
