Research the advantages and disadvantages of traveling to and settling in a new location. Choose a location, prepare a report that explains your...

Historically, people choose to move and
settle in a new location based on various factors. Some are "pushed" out of their
former home while others are "pulled" toward a new territory. Often, people's reasons
are a combination of push and pull.

Some common "push factors are
natural disasters, war, or lack of resources in the current location. People may choose to move
in order to escape one of these difficulties. Sometimes there is simply no choiceif your life is
in danger, you cannot stay put, no matter how much you might wish to. An advantage, therefore,
would be escaping the dangerous situation. A disadvantage, in that case, would be that the
person might head into the unknown unprepared.

When people feel drawn to a
new location, these are called pull factors. Some common ones are improved access to resources
(such as land or work), or better opportunities for your family, such as access to education.
Advantages of settling a location like this would be more opportunities to live a better
lifethis was the main draw for early European immigrants to the United States, for example.
Disadvantages are the inevitable challenges that come with travel and settlement, such as the
expense of travel, adapting to a new culture, or encountering barriers that were previously
unknown.

As you answer this question, consider which factors might pull a
person toward the new location you choose. And, along with that, which reasons are pushing
them away from where they currently are. Then you can weigh the advantages and disadvantages of
each choice.

What were the distinctive characteristics of Roman culture?

Roman culture
borrowed and improved on Greek culture and other foreign cultures, making it difficult to
adequately point out its distinct features. It should be noted that sections of the Roman
population held on to Greek features, for instance, giving preference to the Greek language over
the Latin language. However, despite this challenge, Roman culture has identifiable features
that can effectively be associated with the culture and the era.

The Romans
contributed the arches and domes in their architectural designs and structures. One popular
structure with these features, and which also serves as a symbol of Roman culture is the
Colosseum. The Colosseum was used for official ceremonies, but it was made popular by the death
matches between gladiators that were carried out for the entertainment of the public.


has also been considered a distinct feature of Roman culture. The style was used in
numerous literary works.

How To Start An Autobiography

It seems
to me that it would be difficult for most young people to write complete autobiographies. They
haven't been around that long, and most haven't done much except grow up and go to school. I
would suggest that, with the teacher's permission of course, it would be better for a young
student to write about a single memorable incident in his or her life. A fairly detailed
description of that incident ought to give a pretty good impression of the writer's background.
If you were to write about a single incident in your life, then the first step, it seems to me,
would be to jot some of the incidents that stand out in your memory, and then to zero in on one
of them as your project. You can find some excellent examples of the kind of essay I am
suggesting in collections of James Thurber's short pieces, particularly in My Life and
Hard Times
and in The Thurber Carnival, which contains
selections from My Life and Hard Times. Here are a few titles of his
autobiographical essays:

"The Night the Ghost Got
In"

"The Night the Bed Fell"

"The Dog
that Bit People"

How does Octavia Butler challenge us to consider boundaries in Kindred? (black/white, master/slave, husband/wife, past/present)

In 's
historical time-travel novel , the author challenges the reader to consider
the dichotomies that seem so easy and automatic (past and present; black and white; master and
slave), to really immerse ourselves in the space between the two, and realize how inadequate the
boundaries really are.

By using the unique frame of time travel, Butler
disturbs and dissolves the boundary between the past and the present. Through Dana's own
confrontation of the past, we as readers are also forced to confront the past (not only the
antebellum South, but also Dana's present day, which is now our past). Through Dana's physical
return into history, we are reminded of the very humanness of the past, which is often obscured
through the "objective" lens of historical textbooks. Dana is able to form
relationships with her ancestors, with people who were enslaved and with people who did the
enslaving. Through those relationships, we are able to better understand the
motivations,...

How does Night by Elie Wiesel make an appeal to a more inclusive sense of humanity?

In
his memoir ,appeals to people to have a more inclusive sense of humanity.
First, in his introduction to Night, a book in which he testifies about the
atrocities prisoners endured in the death camps during the Holocaust, he writes,


Was there a way to describe the last journey in sealed cattle cars,
the last voyage toward the unknown? Or the discovery of a demented and glacial universe where to
be inhuman was human, where disciplined, educated men in uniform came to kill, and innocent
children and weary old men came to die? Or the countless separations on a single fiery night,
the tearing apart of entire families, entire communities? Or, incredibly, the vanishing of a
beautiful, well-behaved little Jewish girl with golden hair and a sad smile, murdered with her
mother the very night of their arrival? How was one to speak of them without trembling and a
heart broken for all eternity? Deep down, the witness knew then, as he does now, that his
testimony would not be received. After all, it deals with an event that sprang from the darkest
zone of man. Only those who experienced Auschwitz know what it was.


The vanishing...beautiful, well-behaved little Jewish girl with
golden hair and a sad smile was Wiesels sister, whom he brings to life in all her young
humanity. In fact, he brings all of his dead family to life, as he writes about their reaction
upon first being forced to leave their home. He makes the reader see them as human beings, even
though they were not being treated as such. The reader can feel their emotions. They were
people: a father; a mother; Elie; and a small sister. As he describes his family on page 19,
they are people who are being treated worse than animals.


My father was crying. It was the first time I saw him cry. I had never thought it
possible. As for my mother, she was walking, her face a mask, without a word, deep in thought. I
looked at my little sister, Tzipora, her blond hair neatly combed, her red coat over her arm: a
little girl of seven. On her back a bag too heavy for her. She was clenching her teeth; she
already knew it was useless to complain. Here and there, the police were lashing out with their
clubs: "Faster!" I had no strength left. The journey had just begun and I already felt
so weak... "Faster! Faster! Move, you lazy good-for-nothings!" the Hungarian police
were screaming. That was when I began to hate them, and my hatred remains our only link today.
They were our first oppressors. They were the first faces of hell and death.


Wiesel also notes other people who were oppressed by the Nazis,
making it clear that it was not only Jews who were treated as if they were animals: We were
herded into yet another barrack, inside the Gypsy camp. We fell into ranks of five. However, in
one encounter with a Gypsy prisoner, the other man strikes Wiesels father.


The Gypsy stared at him for a long time, from head to toe. As if he
wished to ascertain that the person addressing him was actually a creature of flesh and bone, a
human being with a body and a belly. Then, as if waking from a deep sleep, he slapped my father
with such force that he fell down and then crawled back to his place on all fours.


Importantly, Wiesel continues in his introduction to the
book:

Could men and women who consider it normal to assist
the weak, to heal the sick, to protect small children, and to respect the wisdom of their elders
understand what happened there? Would they be able to comprehend how, within that cursed
universe, the masters tortured the weak and massacred the children, the sick, and the old? And
yet, having lived through this experience, one could not keep silent no matter how difficult, if
not impossible, it was to speak. And so I persevered. And trusted the silence that envelops and
transcends words....

This is an important plea to people
to treat others as human beings and to be inclusive of all people. As the author notes,
"For, despite all my attempts to articulate the unspeakable, 'it' is still not right."
The "it" here is the brutality of people against other people whom they consider to be
different.

`int_0^1 root(3)(1 + 7x) dx` Evaluate the definite integral.

Given `int_0^1root(3)(1+7x)dx`


Integrate using the u-substitution method.

Let `u=1+7x`


`(du)/dx=7`

`dx=(du)/7`

 


`=int_0^1u^(1/3)*(du)/7`

`=1/7int_0^1u^(1/3)du`


`=1/7*u^(4/3)/(4/3)`  Evaluated from x=0 to x=1.


`=1/7*3/4*(1+7x)^(4/3)` Evaluated from x=0 to x=1.

`=3/28
[(1+7*1)^(4/3)-(1+7*0)^(4/3)]`

`=3/28[8^(4/3)-1^(4/3)]`


`=3/28[16-1]`

`=3/28[15]`

`=45/28`
