What did the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War share in common?

The Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crisis are related to some degree. Both events were related to the spread of communism. In the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union was installing offensive missiles in Cuba aimed at targets in the United States and Latin America. The Soviet Union became friendly with Cuba after the Cuban Revolution brought Fidel Castro to power in 1959. We weren’t happy to have a communist threat in the hemisphere,...

The Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crisis are related to some degree. Both events were related to the spread of communism. In the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union was installing offensive missiles in Cuba aimed at targets in the United States and Latin America. The Soviet Union became friendly with Cuba after the Cuban Revolution brought Fidel Castro to power in 1959. We weren’t happy to have a communist threat in the hemisphere, let alone only 90 miles from our shores. There were took actions to challenge the aggressive actions of the Soviet Union in Cuba. We instituted a blockade around Cuba and told the Soviet Union that any attack in the western hemisphere would be viewed as an attack on the United States. Eventually, a deal was reached, and the missiles were removed.

In the Vietnam War, we also were fighting the spread of communism. North Vietnam wanted to unite all of Vietnam under communist rule. We provided aid to South Vietnam to prevent this from happening. In the beginning of the conflict, the aid included money and weapons. Then military advisors went to South Vietnam. Eventually, soldiers were sent into South Vietnam. We were there to prevent the North Vietnamese from spreading communism to South Vietnam. When a ceasefire agreement was signed in 1973, we left South Vietnam, and South Vietnam remained noncommunist. However, within two years after we left South Vietnam, North Vietnam defeated South Vietnam, making Vietnam a communist country.

`int sqrt(cot(x)) csc^2(x) dx` Evaluate the indefinite integral.

You need to use the following substitution  `cot x = t` , such that:

`cot x = t=>-csc^2 x dx = dt => csc^2 x dx = -dt`

`int sqrt(cot x)* csc^2 x dx = - int sqrt t dt`

`- int sqrt t dt = -(t^(3/2))/(3/2) + c`

Replacing back cot x for t yields:

`int sqrt(cot x)* csc^2 x dx = -(2/3)((cot x)^(3/2)) + c`

Hence, evaluating the indefinite integral, yields `int sqrt(cot...

How did the Kansas-Nebraska Act affect the North and the South?

The Kansas-Nebraska Act proposed that these territories, after being organized, should be allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery. This principle, called popular sovereignty, was espoused by the bill's author, Stephen Douglas, an Illinois Democrat who hoped that opening the region to settlement might lead to the construction of a transcontinental railroad with its terminus in Chicago. The bill outraged many in the North because it repealed the 1820 Missouri Compromise,...

The Kansas-Nebraska Act proposed that these territories, after being organized, should be allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery. This principle, called popular sovereignty, was espoused by the bill's author, Stephen Douglas, an Illinois Democrat who hoped that opening the region to settlement might lead to the construction of a transcontinental railroad with its terminus in Chicago. The bill outraged many in the North because it repealed the 1820 Missouri Compromise, which had banned slavery in territories within the old Louisiana Purchase above a line drawn at 36'30 latitude. Many of those angered by the Act formed the Republican Party, which was created for the express purpose of arresting the spread of slavery. Southerners generally supported the bill, but eventually rejected its core idea of popular sovereignty due to the possibility that a territory could ban slavery from its borders. As it turned out, popular sovereignty in practice was catastrophic. Pro-slavery Missourians poured into Kansas to establish a pro-slavery government there against the wishes of a majority of Kansans. Bloodshed ensued in what became known as "Bleeding Kansas."

What does the clock symbolize in "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe?

In the story, a huge black clock stands against the westernmost wall of the last room in Prince Prospero's hall.  The last room is shrouded in black velvet tapestries, and its window panes are painted red; this is unusual because the windows of all the other rooms are painted the same color as the walls.  However, this last room seems to represent human mortality and death's inevitability as its colors are associated with the mystery...

In the story, a huge black clock stands against the westernmost wall of the last room in Prince Prospero's hall.  The last room is shrouded in black velvet tapestries, and its window panes are painted red; this is unusual because the windows of all the other rooms are painted the same color as the walls.  However, this last room seems to represent human mortality and death's inevitability as its colors are associated with the mystery of death and blood, it is the final room of the seven rooms and death is our eventual finality, and it is the westernmost room (and the sun sets in the west, as the actual death of day as well as a symbol of death itself).  

Clocks are often symbols of mortality as well, representing the unstoppable passage of time, and the fact that the clock is black (symbolic of death) and that the revelers stay away from the final room and fear the chimes of the clock -- especially when it strikes midnight (the death of day) -- seems to confirm the fact that the clock symbolizes mortality.  Likewise, Prince Prospero's death in this room gives further strength to this interpretation.

What is the argument between Miss Caroline and Scout about?

Miss Caroline is Scout's teacher in Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird. In Chapter Two, Scout, the book's protagonist, attends school for the first time. Scout is so bright that she has already picked up reading naturally by looking through her father's papers. As Scout explains in the book, "I never deliberately learned to read, but somehow I had been wallowing illicitly in the daily papers." This remark is funny because it...

Miss Caroline is Scout's teacher in Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird. In Chapter Two, Scout, the book's protagonist, attends school for the first time. Scout is so bright that she has already picked up reading naturally by looking through her father's papers. As Scout explains in the book, "I never deliberately learned to read, but somehow I had been wallowing illicitly in the daily papers." This remark is funny because it implies that Scout is doing something wrong by looking at the papers. Miss Caroline assumes that Scout's father, Atticus, has instructed her to read, and she tells Scout that she must stop reading until she is older. Scout, who is a natural reader, takes an immediate dislike to her teacher when she hears this remark.

Miss Caroline, who is new to the town of Maycomb, also assumes that Walter Cunningham, one of Scout's fellow students, has forgotten his lunch when she hears that he has no money or food for lunch. However, as everyone, including Scout knows, Walter's family is too poor to afford lunch. Miss Caroline innocently offers to lend Walter money, committing a tactless mistake because Walter can never pay her back. Scout tries to explain the situation to her teacher, but Miss Caroline punishes her.

Scout's entry into the world beyond her house is troubled. Her failure to understand the ways of people around her will continue, in part because she has grown up in a fair house and the world around her is not as fair or open-minded. Later in the novel, Atticus tells Scout that he will continue to teach her to read but that she must not tell her teacher about it. Atticus's forms of educating his children are far more progressive and fair than those practiced in the Maycomb school.

What are the aims and objectives of a curriculum design process?

A curriculum design process is a method by which teachers and other instructional authorities consider the goals, needs, and materials for their student group for a particular class or course. During this process, they may also consider which content to teach throughout the course. The curriculum design process will vary for each course of study: the goals and objectives of every class are different. This process is an effective way to go about lesson planning...

A curriculum design process is a method by which teachers and other instructional authorities consider the goals, needs, and materials for their student group for a particular class or course. During this process, they may also consider which content to teach throughout the course. The curriculum design process will vary for each course of study: the goals and objectives of every class are different. This process is an effective way to go about lesson planning in an intentional and purposeful way. It ensures all goals will be addressed, and also reduces the likelihood that students and instructors will fall short of objectives at the end of the course.

The goals of a curriculum design process are not limited to student goals. A good curriculum design process will also include goals for the institution, faculty, and staff. A note about the word "process"—the curriculum design process is not linear: curriculum planners do not go straight from goals to action. The fact that it is a process allows educational professionals to set a goal and continually assess whether it fits in as a part of the larger curriculum design.

How do you know that Jem doesn't believe Mr. Nathan Radley's explanation of why he filled the tree hole with cement in To Kill a Mockingbird? ...

The correct answer is He asks Atticus if he thinks the tree is dead.

During the summer with the influence of Dill, the children have become fascinated with the "haint" that lives across the street from them. Dill has suggested that Jem touch the house, and they also contemplate how they can communicate with the strange recluse who dwells within the walls of the Radley house.

The correct answer is He asks Atticus if he thinks the tree is dead.

During the summer with the influence of Dill, the children have become fascinated with the "haint" that lives across the street from them. Dill has suggested that Jem touch the house, and they also contemplate how they can communicate with the strange recluse who dwells within the walls of the Radley house.

Because the children have been within Boo's viewing, he has obviously watched them and, apparently, delighted in their play. One day as they pass the Radley tree on their way home, Jem discovers two soap figures that bear an incredible resemblance to himself and Scout; impressed at Boo's skill, he puts them in his trunk when he arrives home. On subsequent days they find chewing gum, a pocket watch, a medal, and other small items. So, Jem decides that they must write a thank you note to Boo; consequently, they leave one in the hole. But, the next day as they approach the tree, anticipating something new in it, they discover that the knothole has been filled with cement. Jem asks Mr. Nathan if he has filled it; he replies that he has, in fact, done so.

“Why’d you do it, sir?”
“Tree’s dying. You plug ‘em with cement when they’re sick. You ought to know that, Jem.”

Jem says nothing until the children meet Atticus as he walks home from his office. Jem asks his father,

“Is that tree dyin‘?”
“Why no, son, I don’t think so. Look at the leaves, they’re all green and full, no brown patches anywhere.

The answer from his father confirms Jem's doubts about the truth of what Mr. Nathan Radley has told him. Obviously, Mr. Nathan does not want Boo to interact with the Finch children.
