B. The first $9,075 she makes each year will be taxed at 10%.

C. Portions of Phung’s income will be taxed at 10%, 15%, 25%, and 28%.

E. After $36,000, Phung’s taxable income will experience the greatest tax bracket increase.

The correct statements about Phung's income and tax situation are that the first $9,075 of her income will be taxed at 10%, and portions of her income will be taxed at various rates, up to her marginal tax rate of 28%. After $36,900, her taxable income experiences the greatest bracket increase to 25%. Phung's entire income is not taxed at 28%, and she will not pay state taxes in Florida.

The student's question revolves around understanding how Phung's income as a pharmacist would be taxed based on the 2014 tax brackets for single taxpayers. According to the information given, Phung has a taxable income of $116,200 annually.

Based on the tax brackets, the correct statements about Phung's income and federal tax situation are:  

The other statements regarding state taxes and her entire income being taxed at 28% are incorrect. Florida does not have a state income tax, thus Phung will not pay any state income tax. Also, since U.S. federal income tax is progressive, not flat, Phung will not pay a flat rate of 28% on her entire income, but rather on the income within the range that is subject to 28% tax rate.

People that believed in both Democratic and republican parties.

They didnt fully believe in either one of them.

-TheOneandOnly003

The Democratic-Republican Party was initially supported majorly by rural sectors, small farmers and artisans. Over the years, it garnered support from the lower socio-economic status individuals, and minority groups, especially in the 1930s due to purposeful outreach. Additionally, the Southern United States, despite its less tolerant racial stance, was largely dominated by Democrats.

The question pertains to the type of people who supported the Democratic Republican Party. The Democratic Republican Party,which later was split into further political factions, gained support from various socio-economic classes over time. Initially, they drew the support predominantly from the rural sectors, small farmers and artisans while their counterparts, the Federalists commanded support from the urban elites and southern planters.

However, there were several realignments in the party's structure and demographic over time. In the 1930s, the Democratic Party formed a coalition among individuals of lower socio-economic status from northern and midwestern cities, signaling a shift in the party's base. They also reached out to minorities and became religiously and ethnically more diverse in comparison to their Republican counterparts.

Further, the southern United States, despite being less tolerant on racial matters, was dominated by Democratic politicians since the Civil War. It's worth noting, though, that this support from lower socioeconomic status individuals and minority groups did not necessarily translate to all parts of the country. In some states, such as the southern US, minority groups like African Americans remained largely disenfranchised despite the Democratic Party's outreach elsewhere.

I believe you are referring to the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.

On November 1, 1755, the greater area of Lisbon was destroyed by an earthquake, which was followed by a tidal wave which destroyed the shipping in the river Tagus. Around sixty thousand people have lost their lives.

This occurrence sparked a lot of discussions involving both religious and philosophical questions. Two main point of views are Voltaire's and Rousseau's.

Voltaire examined evil and suffering related to the disaster. He had made the connection before, pondering onto previous earthquakes, such as prior earthquakes in China, Lima and Callao. He thought that God's rules were not meant for man's best good, asking if it has been the will of God or if could it have been vengeance. He also reflected on why Lisbon, if Lisbon was worse than other cities and if there were worse sins or more evil in Lisbon than other cities. Finally asking if god is the culprit of these catastrophes, even though he is supposed to be love and kindness.

Rousseau on the other hand had more systematic views of the world and man. Rousseau believed man is good by nature but is corrupted in contact with other men, the only solution being to return to nature. Rousseau represented the optimism views and and considered Voltaire's poem on the Lisbon earthquake both a personal attack on him and a lack of understanding and distortion of God's preponderant action.

The common ground is that neither one of them were atheists, both believed that God existed, but diverged on the nature of naturally good (Rousseau) and evil (Voltaire).

The correct answer is: Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke out against the acquisition of the Southwest following the Mexican-American War.

B. The government was too powerful and needed to be reined.

C. The government's work was made difficult because the Articles of Confederation were too weak. is your answer.

Remember, if the Articles of Confederations had worked, we would not need the Constitution.

The Articles of Confederation created an alliance of states, and a weak central body government that barely had any power (figure-head). This soon became a problem, and was solved by the creation of the Constitution, which created a 3 part main government made up of Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branch, and a redistribution of power that allowed the National Government have more power over the State Governments.

New weapons meant stronger weapons better defense etc

Basically, it meant they upgraded from older equipment

Throughout the first truly global war, we can see from the present the large technological advancement and impact that the war had brought, as well as the effects of each. Each weapon created was to realistically make the war shorter, but sadly, prolonged the war and resulted in high casualty rates. Some of the most influential weapons would be listed below.

Machine guns: While the Machine gun had been around for a long time (Since the Mexican-American War & American Civil War, in which the Maxim machine-gun was used, these weapons was able to evolve for the better (and much more later on in history), making it more lethal, lighter, be able to hold more rounds, faster cooling system and firing rate, and much more other improvements. the machine guns (MG) was used widely on both sides, and were used as defensive weapons, being able to mow down charges by the opposing side through "no-mans land".

Tanks: Tanks were created by the British, and later copied by Germany and the USA. They had their first frightening appearance during the Battle of Somme, which was described as heavy sheet metal that rolled across the fields and deflected rounds. However, the first few prototypes that were created were flimsy, non-practical, and "easily destroyable". By the time the USA joined in 1917, many sides had been extensively using tanks, which led to the US developing their own variant, one that had a turrent, based on a tank known as the "Renault FT". These tanks were produced in massive numbers, and had a great impact on the resource-drained Central Powers.

Gas: Gas such as mustard gas (which are already banned today through the Geneva Convention) was also used extensively throughout the war. They were generally used without warning, and would lead to symptoms such as gagging, watery eyes, burning sensation, and even death, blindness, and others. Usually birds were used on both sides to detect the usage of gas, and soldiers had seconds to put on their gas masks.

Airplanes: Warplanes had a lesser impact on the war, but they still had their debut with glory. Biplanes and triplanes were extensively used by both sides, and could be seen doing reconnaissance, dropping bombs on enemy locations, and even have dogfights.

Submarines: While these also have been around since the Revolutionary War (the "Turtle"), subs were greatly expanded upon, especially by Germany and Austrio-Hungary. They were used extensively in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean to sink battleships, battlecruisers, and especially transport ships that brought vital resources and even troops to the western front.

While there were much more "new" technologies, these were some of the weapons that had the greatest impacts, and also were the ones that (except for gas) greatly expanded on during the latter years.

Muckrakers were investigative journalists in the Progressive Era who exposed societal and governmental issues, spurring public outrage and calls for reform. Their work led to significant changes in various sectors of American society, thus emphasizing the important role of media as a 'watchdog' in promoting transparency and accountability.

Muckrakers were journalists and writers during the Progressive Era, late 1800s to early 1900s, who took on the task of exposing the wrongdoings in society, particularly in business and government. These investigative journalists, such as Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell, and Jacob Riis, used their skills to uncover issues related to corrupt politics, poor factory working conditions, and harsh living conditions of the urban poor, among other societal problems.

Their work was aimed at sparking outrage and calls for reform, thereby influencing American society. For instance, Sinclair's novel The Jungle exposed inhumane practices in meatpacking companies, leading to government action on food safety. Similarly, Tarbell wrote a series of exposés on the monopolistic practices of Standard Oil which also resulted in significant backlash and calls for government intervention.

Despite facing criticism, notably being labelled 'muckrakers' by President Theodore Roosevelt, the influence of these journalists was pivotal in pushing for substantial reforms in different sectors of American society. Their role as `watchdogs` played a key part in promoting transparency, accountability and democratic process.

Correct answer:  B) secured Allies for the United States.

Explanation/context:

The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall.  Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program.  Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948.  The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II.   Eastern bloc countries, however, rejected the plan, so it ended up as a plan that benefited Western European nations and not Eastern European nations.

In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall had said:  "Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist."

The view in the communist-controlled Eastern bloc was that the US was trying to use such a policy to spread its influence and threaten their patterns of government under communism.  So the plan ended up building allies for the US in Western Europe, while the Eastern European countries sided with the Soviet Union.

The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival during the early 19th century in the United States.The movement began around 1790,gained momentum by 1800 and after 1820,membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations whose preachers led and inspired the movement.

The preachers inspired people,as a response to increasing social ills,for the following movements::

The Second Great Awakening was a major religious movement that emphasized personal responsibility in securing salvation and inspired numerous social reforms, including the anti-slavery and women's rights movements, primarily through figures like Charles G. Finney who advocated for perfecting oneself and society.

During the early nineteenth century, the Second Great Awakening played a pivotal role in inspiring a wave of social reforms in the United States. The movement stressed personal responsibility in seeking one’s own salvation and perfecting society. It spread a powerful message of regeneration and perfection, reaching diverse groups across the country, including women, the rich and poor, as well as the enslaved and free black communities.

Notably, figures such as Charles G. Finney connected religious fervor with social activism, leading to the establishment of various reform movements. In New England, for example, the call to seek perfection fueled abolitionist movements, temperance, women's rights, and educational reforms. Similarly, the increased public participation of women in religious meetings traced back to the Awakening's emphasis on religious equality, further bolstering the women’s rights movement.

In the North, revival meetings led to social activism and the creation of new religious sects. Foremost among these activities was the challenge to societal ills such as slavery, thus propelling the anti-slavery movement. To summarize, the ideals of the Second Great Awakening deeply influenced various antebellum reform movements by encouraging individuals to transform both themselves and society.

B illustrates the power of collective action

C illustrates the power of building a political machine to get people elected.

Answer:

D. all of these are reasons why political parties are created.

Explanation:

All of these reasons illustrate why political parties are created.

The French revolution, even when it started and ended with one leader, succeeded because allowed people to think that they could ask for something better; it presented the possibility that a government is about the people and not about the ruler, and this idea was reinforced with the basic civil rights that Napoleon continues to respect after the monarchy was overthrown.

Answer:

I think the French Revolution was a success. Although it started and ended with one leader having control, the common people were better off under Napoleon than under King Louis XVI. Napoleon was a better ruler than Louis because he allowed rights that the people didn’t have under the king, such as freedom of speech and religion.

Fingerprint matching is determined through unique characteristics. To achieve it must have certain ridges. loops and whorls. The characteristic points are then compared to the prints on the system. When forensics finds that there are enough similar matching points, they state whether they are fingerprints in which they match or not.

It is assumed that prints are one hundred percent positive, that is their use is one hundred percent successful with a zero error.

However, the prints are not considered scientific evidence, but it is still a presumption. There is never a hundred percent matching the prints, but just the similarity within the prints.

Fingerprints are assumed to be unique and unchanging, characteristics that are used in forensic analyses. However, these assumptions can lead to possible errors as fingerprints can be worn or distorted.

Assumptions about fingerprints include their uniqueness and their unchanging nature. Each person has a unique fingerprint pattern formed during fetal development where cells of the stratum basale meet the papillae of the underlying dermal layer; these patterns do not change with age or growth.

This is similar to the concept of DNA fingerprinting, a forensic method used to determine whether two DNA samples are from the same or related individuals. However, these assumptions can be problematic as fingerprints can be worn down or distorted, leading to potential misidentifications in forensic investigations.

Art and literature were key in disseminating Chinese values across East Asia. A blend of interaction with China and respective native elements formed unique societies in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. The spread of Chinese values illustrates cultural exchange but global influence isn't as pronounced due to East Asia's geographical isolation.

Art and literature were crucial aspects of the East Asian cultural complex, functioning as tools for the dissemination and reinforcement of Chinese values. They depicted the philosophies, morals, and societal constructs of the times, such as Confucian values, influencing societies across East Asia.

As for the concept of common East Asian civilization, it was more of a blend of separate entities like Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese societies marking their distinct elements, yet greatly influenced by interactions with China. This influence can be seen in adoption of writing scripts to Buddhist philosophies, yet maintaining their native folklore and customs.

On the global scale, the spread of Chinese values illustrates a cultural exchange and interaction beyond geographical boundaries, akin to the influence of Greek and Roman culture in the western world. However, East Asia's interaction with other parts of the world, during the postclassical period, wasn't as pronounced due to geographical isolation and self-sustained economies.
