Answer:
Freedom is necessary to generate progress; people also value freedom as an important
component of progress. This chapter will contend that both propositions are correct. Without
liberty, there will be little or no progress; most people will consider an expansion in freedom as
progress. Neither proposition would win universal acceptance. Some would argue that a
totalitarian state can marshal the resources to generate economic growth. Many will contend that
too much liberty induces libertine behavior and is destructive of society, peace, and the family.
For better or worse, the record shows that freedom has increased throughout the world
over the last few centuries and especially over the last few decades. There are of course many
examples of non-free, totalitarian, ruthless government on the globe, but their number has
decreased and now represents a smaller proportion of the world’s population. Perhaps this growth
of freedom is partially responsible for the breakdown of the family and the rise in crime, described
in the previous chapter. Dictators do tolerate less crime and are often very repressive of deviant
sexual behavior, but, as the previous chapter reported, divorce and illegitimacy are more connected
with improved income of women than with a permissive society. Moreover, the ability to rid
oneself of a objectionable mate improves the well-being of the adults involved and may leave the
children no worse than if they had been raised by two antagonistic parents.
A police state can also repress much crime, although no government can totally rid society
of lawlessness. Democracies can also take vigorous action against crime, but protecting the
innocent from government intrusion hampers the effectiveness of law enforcement. The state can
make two types of errors: they can arrest, prosecute and convict and innocent individual or they
can fail to arrest, prosecute or convict a guilty one. Repressive dictators typically are more willing
to make the first type of error and allow the innocent to be caught up with the guilty. Elected

What two factors cause monsoons?
Answer:
The primary cause of monsoons is the difference between annual temperature trends over land and sea. The apparent position of the Sun with reference to the Earth oscillates from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn. Thus the low pressure region created by solar heating also changes latitude.

What factors contributed to the westward expansion of the U.S.?
the discovery of gold
the Cold War
the quest for land, wealth, and adventure
increased immigration
the Homestead Act
the Revolutionary War
Answer:
the discovery of gold - contributed to the westward expansion, especially to California, during the California gold rush of 1849. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants, both from the U.S. and abroad, arrived in California in this period, lured by the prospect of finding untapped wealth, and even after the gold ran out, many of the stayed, contributing to the ensuing population of the rest of California and the Western U.S.
the quest for land, wealth, and adventure - most of the first settlers in the Western U.S. were adventurers, explorers, hunters, fur traders, and mountain men, who entered this new and unexplored territory in the search for land, wealth and adventure.
increased immigration - during the second half of the nineteenth century, immigration to the United States increased dramatically, and many of them settled in the Western part of the country, where they could purchase cheaper land.
the Homestead Act - this act provided for land grants to anyone who had not born arms against the United States. The person granted the land had to cultivate it and improve it in exchange. This benefited hundreds of thousands of farmers, who mostly settled west of the Mississippi River.

Why might dictators and tyrants need to manipulate audience appeals
Answer:
To get more supporters, like a bunch of puppets or an army
Explanation:
Answer:
They have to manipulate their people, and the outside viewers to give them a false illusion of greatness. For example, North Korean propaganda paints Kim Jong Un as a hero, a supreme leader, and almost a god. And the North Korean people may be tricked by this because who are they to stand up to the false Korean leader. But, no outside viewers buy into this propaganda because we know the conditions that exist behind the walls of the country, and I'm not sure if the North Koreans themselves buy into it but they can't really do much either due to the fear of government murder or labor camps.

How did Stalin and the Soviet Union initially respond to the end of World War
Answer:
At the end of World War II, the Soviet Union occupied Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Poland and eastern Germany. Great Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union divided Germany and Berlin into four occupation zones to be administered by the four countries. The Soviet Union was determined to establish governments in Eastern Europe who were friendly to the Soviet Union. While the war was still taking place, Soviet occupation troops assisted local communists in putting Communist dictatorships in Romania and Bulgaria in power. Yugoslavia and Albania supported the rise of communist dictatorships in their countries; however, both of these countries remained outside of the Soviet sphere of influence. In 1949 the Communist German Democratic Republic was established in the Soviet, German occupation zone. The East European satellite regimes depended on Soviet military power to maintain control of their communist governments. Over one million Red Army soldiers remained stationed in Eastern Europe. On March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill, speaking at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri with President Harry S. Truman on the stage with him, summed up the situation in Europe with what is known as the “Iron Curtain” speech: “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.” Churchill’s speech may have been the first shot fired in the Cold War which would last until 1989.
Explanation:
Answer:
Stalin guaranteed that the Soviet Union would declare war on Japan within 6 months after the end of hostilities in Europe. While the diplomats and politicians engaged in trying to shape the postwar world, Soviet forces from the east and Allied forces from the west continued to advance on Germany.

What contribution did Barack Obama make and how did he impact the world
Answer:
When President Obama left office on January 20, 2017, his impact and legacy were unclear. He will always be the first African American president in US history, and his administration was notable for its stability. With Republicans in control of both the presidency and the Congress in 2017, however, some of Obama’s most notable achievements—the Affordable Care Act, the Paris climate change agreement, and Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals—were overturned or under attack.
Obama’s lasting impact on American life may turn out to have been greatest in terms of the crises that did not happen. Despite teetering on the edge of economic catastrophe, the nation did not fall into the abyss of a second Great Depression in 2009. And despite calls for more aggressive military action, the nation scaled back on its troop commitments rather than launching additional wars. How long and in what form Obama’s policy changes will endure remains to be seen. Those that depended on unilateral executive action have been the most fragile, since they can be undone by subsequent actions by his successors in the presidency.
Obama’s job approval rating in polls of the American people rose during his second term, cresting at about 60 percent during his final months in office. The public also rated him highly in comparison with other recent presidents. A Quinnipiac University polls released in late January 2017 found that 29 percent said he was the greatest president since World War II, just one point behind Ronald Reagan, who was named by 30 percent and well ahead of every other postwar president.
The Black PresidencyScholars who were surveyed at about the same time agreed. In a C-SPAN survey of 91 historians, political scientists, and other presidential scholars, Obama was ranked 12th among all presidents since George Washington for the overall quality of his performance as chief executive. Among his recent predecessors, Obama surpassed George W. Bush, who ranked 33rd, Bill Clinton (15th), and George H.W. Bush (20th), but not the president whose trajectory-changing legacy Obama once said he wanted to emulate: Ronald Reagan, who ranked 8th.
