How did World War II unite Americans at home? Provide examples and explain.
(11th grade, not middle school)
The War united almost all americans at home under a single banner. Ever since the Japs smacked the glory of our superior pacific navy at pearl harbor.
1. Many Americans, Nisei (Japanese-2nd generation in USA) volunteered most notably the 442nd "Go For broke." then there were the Italians such as medal of honor recipient John Basilone. They all wanted to prove they were loyal to their country.
2. The horrifying atrocities, though not revealed until much later (except for the [word removed as it is explicit] of Nanking which a US embassy witnessed firsthand). Also horrified US citizens and inspired them to push harder, to prevent more atrocities from happening.
3. Then of course there was propaganda. Many were inspired to join up, some felt obligated, and others were drafted.
The World War II united the Americans at home by the way that the attacks of the Japanese at the Pearl Harbor put a fear in the minds of Americans which also lit up rebel emotions.
The World War II was the most significant wars in the history which took place in the middle of the Twentieth century at the midst of decolonization by the British.
The Americans united with an emotion of taking revenges against strong and growing nations like Japan and Italy along with Germany. The tactics used by the America were use of nuclear explosives.The use of nuclear explosives is evident from the attacks done by the Americans over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which completely destroyed the Japan's structure.The feeling of getting was not organic for all the citizens of the United States of America as some of the people were bought together and other felt a sense of obligation in the interests of USA.Hence, the correct statement is that the US was united after the world war II in the emotion with feelings of revenge against nations like Japan, Germany, Italy, etc.

Assess the following statement: “Prejudice in a society is evil and being noble is to obey Allah.”
Answer:
Prejudice is having an opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge of the facts.
Being prejudice in a society is being unfair and bias, so it is an evil act.
Noble is having honorable qualities and high moral principles.
Obeying Allah (S.W.T) is a noble action, rather than being prejudice in a society, which is an evil action.
Answer:
Prejudice is a preconception or preconceived opinion not based on truth. It means conceiving on the basis of race, group or any particular characteristics. Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) said: "Avoid prejudice, as it begins with ignorance and ends up in regression.” So, Avoiding prejudice is part of Sunnah. "Hazrat Ali (AS) states that one of the main reasons for prejudice is “ignorance”. He explains that “As for Satan, he felt proud over Adam because of his origin and taunted him about his creation since he said, "I am of fire while you are of clay." " A part of Islam is not judging people on the basis of their race, group or characteristics. Even, Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) said in his last Khutbah that don't judge people on the basis of their race. So, being noble is really better than judging someone on the basis of their race or something. For Obeying Allah, we need to be noble irrespective of caste,color, creed or language.
Which were causes of the French Revolution?

Answer:
A) Crop failures that led to bread shortages and starvation for the poorer classes.
C) Debt accrued by the treasury for its involvement in the American Revolution.
D) France's outdated estates system that gave the upper class too much power.
Explanation:
The French Revolution was the major game-changer of the whole of the French government. The decade-long revolution starting from 1789 to 1799 led to a number of changes in the political, and even social scene of the nation.
The major causes of the French Revolution were the ineffective ruling of the king, Louis XVI. Aside from that, the immense crop failure which led to the increased suffering of the poorer sections of the society led to the uproar. The people demanded changes were required so as to make everyone an equal part of the government. Moreover, their hardships were further led on by the huge debt that France had after its involvement in the American Revolution, which hugely impacted the financial condition. Added to that, the Estates system where the upper class were given more power over the lower class led to a major conflict of interest among the masses. All these factors led to the French revolution.
Thus, the correct answers are options A, C, and D.

Look at these four advertisements from the 1920s. For each one, analyze the target audience, the kind of persuasive influence it is intended to create, and what it says about gender, if anything. The first ad analysis has been completed for you.
Answer:
a. suit
rich men
This ad is visually pleasing and conveys a sense of romance and luxury. It suggests that a man who buys this product will radiate success and be a hit with desirable and ultra-fashionable women such as the one who occupies most of the ad space.
This ad has strong sexual overtones in its depiction of the luxurious and highly leisurely woman—shown with soft, curvy lines and sporting a highly stylized hairdo—as she looks longingly at the suited man contained in his rectangular frame.
b. radio
women or men
Like the first ad, this one shows a woman in comfortable leisure clothing. However, she has a less fashionable, or cutting-edge, hairstyle and conveys a sense of homey coziness. Presumably, if viewers buy the same kind of radio, they too will be able to relax in a "blue glow" of domestic ease.
This ad shows a woman in domestic contentment. Her clothing is flowing and comfortable looking but covers her shoulders, suggesting she is more likely a housewife than the woman in the suit ad. She is less sexualized and is not explicitly connected with a man.
c. car
middle-class families
The ad copy touts the affordability factor of the sedan while the graphic suggests that the consumer can own this car and enjoy idyllic bliss in the country as a family.
The family depicted consists of two girls and their mom, while the dad is not expressly shown, although he could be the photographer capturing his happy family with their car. It implicitly invites hard-working men to see this vehicle as worth the $775 to bring security and contentment to their wives and children.
d. cosmetics
young women
The copy for this ad clearly states its appeal to sell products that will help women stay young and attractive. The graphic image shows a woman in a fashionably short skirt who seems confident in her self-worth, suggesting these creams and powders are the reason.
This ad seems intended to drive smart young women into beauty fads by playing to their vanity. The cosmetics industry, which was focused exclusively on women, saw rapid growth in the 1920s.

The best example of legal pluralism is that Indian litigants could have their cases tried in local or British courts, with their own legal customs applied.
Explanation:
Legal pluralism is a situation in which a territory has several different legal orders and legal systems, often based on the fact that society consists of several social groups with different cultures and traditions or that a state territory has shared sovereignty within, therefore having two nations applying their respective laws. In a situation where there is legal pluralism, the individual group affiliation will determine which legal order the person's case belongs to, or also which legal system the case is processed in. Legal pluralism is in contrast to legal centralism, which is characterized by a common legal order in a territory.
