A State of War and Peace: A Look at the Nobel Peace Prize's Most Controversial Recipients
Introduction
Upon his death in 1896, Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite, bequeathed the equivalent of $4.7 million (at the time of this publication) to create awards that would be his ultimate legacy. Every year the revered Nobel Prizes are given on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death. On this day, the world turns its attention on the Nobel Prize ceremonies in Sweden and Norway. The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Medicine or Physiology, Chemistry, and Literature are awarded in Stockholm, while the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo. In addition to receiving the honor of a lifetime, Nobel laureates receive a diploma, a gold medal, and a large cash reward (In 2009 it was 10 million Swedish kroner, or 1.4 million in US doPresident Barack Obama, receives the award, it is no surprise that many voices bellow to oppose it. As soon as his nomination was announced, President Obama's critics pointed out the irony of choosing this leader, who at the time was in the middle of wars in Afghanistaontentious figures? Such figures include Yasser Arafat, awarded in 1994, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), whom detractors called an "unrepentant terroluding, if necessary, the use of force. Let us admit that anything at all is better than war. All borders would remain untouched, and a declaration should be made that any and every aggressor would have all of Europe against him."

Why do we have a two-party
system in the US
Answer:
The main reason for America's majoritarian character is the electoral system for Congress. ... Consider a system in which voters can vote for any candidate from any one of many parties. Suppose further that if a party gets 15% of votes, then that party will win 15% of the seats in the legislature.
Answer:
don´t forget to brainllest:)
Explanation:
There are several reasons why, in some systems, two major parties dominate the political landscape. There has been speculation that a two-party system arose in the United States from early political battling between the federalists and anti-federalists in the first few decades after the ratification of the Constitution, according to several views.In addition, there has been more speculation that the winner-takes-all electoral system as well as particular state and federal laws regarding voting procedures helped to cause a two-party system
In a two-party system, voters have mostly two options; in this sample ballot for an election in Summit, New Jersey, voters can choose between a Republican or Democrat, but there are no third party candidates.
Political scientists such as Maurice Duverger and William H. Riker claim that there are strong correlations between voting rules and type of party system. Jeffrey D. Sachs agreed that there was a link between voting arrangements and the effective number of parties. Sachs explained how the first-past-the-post voting arrangement tended to promote a two-party system:
The main reason for America's majoritarian character is the electoral system for Congress. Members of Congress are elected in single-member districts according to the "first-past-the-post" (FPTP) principle, meaning that the candidate with the plurality of votes is the winner of the congressional seat. The losing party or parties win no representation at all. The first-past-the-post election tends to produce a small number of major parties, perhaps just two, a principle known in political science as Duverger's Law. Smaller parties are trampled in first-past-the-post elections.

Explanation:
break down and explain the role christianity played in spanish colonization and empire building
Answer:
In the early years of what later became the United States, Christian religious groups played an influential role in each of the British colonies, and most attempted to enforce strict religious observance through both colony governments and local town rules.
Most attempted to enforce strict religious observance. Laws mandated that everyone attend a house of worship and pay taxes that funded the salaries of ministers. Eight of the thirteen British colonies had official, or “established,” churches, and in those colonies dissenters who sought to practice or proselytize a different version of Christianity or a non-Christian faith were sometimes persecuted.
Although most colonists considered themselves Christians, this did not mean that they lived in a culture of religious unity. Instead, differing Christian groups often believed that their own practices and faiths provided unique values that needed protection against those who disagreed, driving a need for rule and regulation.
Explanation:
In Europe, Catholic and Protestant nations often persecuted or forbade each other's religions, and British colonists frequently maintained restrictions against Catholics. In Great Britain, the Protestant Anglican church had split into bitter divisions among traditional Anglicans and the reforming Puritans, contributing to an English civil war in the 1600s. In the British colonies, differences among Puritan and Anglican remained.
Between 1680 and 1760 Anglicanism and Congregationalism, an offshoot of the English Puritan movement, established themselves as the main organized denominations in the majority of the colonies. As the seventeenth and eighteenth century passed on, however, the Protestant wing of Christianity constantly gave birth to new movements, such as the Baptists, Methodists, Quakers, Unitarians and many more, sometimes referred to as “Dissenters.” In communities where one existing faith was dominant, new congregations were often seen as unfaithful troublemakers who were upsetting the social order.
Despite the effort to govern society on Christian (and more specifically Protestant) principles, the first decades of colonial era in most colonies were marked by irregular religious practices, minimal communication between remote settlers, and a population of “Murtherers, Theeves, Adulterers, [and] idle persons.” An ordinary Anglican American parish stretched between 60 and 100 miles, and was often very sparsely populated. In some areas, women accounted for no more than a quarter of the population, and given the relatively small number of conventional households and the chronic shortage of clergymen, religious life was haphazard and irregular for most. Even in Boston, which was more highly populated and dominated by the Congregational Church, one inhabitant complained in 1632 that the “fellows which keepe hogges all weeke preach on the Sabboth.”
Christianity was further complicated by the widespread practice of astrology, alchemy and forms of witchcraft. The fear of such practices can be gauged by the famous trials held in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692 and 1693. Surprisingly, alchemy and other magical practices were not altogether divorced from Christianity in the minds of many “natural philosophers” (the precursors of scientists), who sometimes thought of them as experiments that could unlock the secrets of Scripture. As we might expect, established clergy discouraged these explorations.
In turn, as the colonies became more settled, the influence of the clergy and their churches grew. At the heart of most communities was the church; at the heart of the calendar was the Sabbath—a period of intense religious and “secular” activity that lasted all day long. After years of struggles to impose discipline and uniformity on Sundays, the selectmen of Boston at last were able to “parade the street and oblige everyone to go to Church . . . on pain of being put in Stokes or otherwise confined,” one observer wrote in 1768. By then, few communities openly tolerated travel, drinking, gambling, or blood sports on the Sabbath.

The Hendersons are hosting a barbecue for five people and want to purchase enough chicken for everyone to have two pieces. Which option makes the most financial sense?
Which option makes the most financial sense? 10 individual chicken breasts at $3 each
5 two-packs of chicken breasts at $5 each
a 12-pack bag of chicken at $20
a 20-pack bag of chicken at $35
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Given that the number of people needed to serve is five and the plan is for each of them to have two pieces of chicken.
Hence
For choice A:
Total cost = 10*3 = $30
Number of pieces = 10
For choice B:
Total cost = 5*5 = $25
Number of pieces = 10
For choice C:
Total cost = $20
Number of pieces = 12
For choice D:
Total cost = $35
Number of pieces = 20
Therefore, considering the above choices, the best choice to choose is option C.
This is because it has the lowest cost and the number of pieces satisfies them and yet remains.
Answer: C
Explanation:

Even though the book has Jekyll and Hyde as title characters, the reader learns a lot about Utterson. Re-examine what you know about Utterson, going back to the opening paragraphs of the novel in which he is described in detail. Why do you think the author places such emphasis on this character? In what ways is Utterson a character full of contradictions?
What have we learned about the Victorian Era from reading this novel? What questions might you answer about the era to help you get more out of your reading?
Answer:
much of action in the book is seen thru uttersons eyes so it is believable. he makes him a lawyer who is cold and serious and dry but mentions he is lovable. "when the wine was to his taste something eminently human beaconed from his eye"..meaning he likes a drink but he is strict with himself and doesn't even visit the theatre. he is tolerant of others but strict with himaelf. he is unique and he represents the victorian gentleman of the time. he is the opposite of jekkyl. he is tolerant of what goes on in the book and he needs to be serious so the story is believable if seen thru his eyes and tolerant enough to listen to the crazy stories of jekyll and still be able to hang around after hearing those experiences. he is trustworthy but doesn't distract from the other characters. he is not judgemental.
victorian era was an era with the advancement of science, economic growth and the awakening of socially repressed feelings/behavior. this book tapped directly into the anxieties of the times

Provide an example of a situation in which the return of a fugitive from justice might be contested.
(Us government )
Answer:
When the fugitive is accused of military crime
When the fugitive is accused of political crime.
Explanation:
The federal government allows states to refuse to extradite an individual at large to the state that that individual has fled. This contestation of the fugitive's return to his state is allowed in some cases, because the constitution does not allow the federal government to oblige state governors to act in a certain way in cases of fugitive extradition, therefore, any state can contest this return . This challenge usually occurs in cases of fugitives for political crimes and military crimes.
An example of a situation in which the return of the fugitive can be contested is when they completed a crime in both states.
A fugitive simply means an individual who has escaped from captivity. The legal process where a fugitive from justice in a particular state is returned to the state is known as extradition.
It should be noted that an individual that is charged in any state with felony, treason, or other crime, who shall free from justice and is found in another state shall be delivered up and taken to the state that has jurisdiction of the crime.
In conclusion, in a situation where a fugitive completed a crime in both states, their return will be contested.
