What are the disadvantages for wearing a hijab?

In theory, there is no disadvantages to wearing a Hijab. It is a form of religious freedom which we are all granted in the United States. The only disadvantage comes from the uneducated people who are not familiar with Islam. Without being familiar with the religion, they tend to judge. But the disadvantage is for the people who discriminate those who wear the Hijab, not the actual person who wears it.

How did the King of Siam keep his country from becoming a European colony?

Siam was the only country in Southeast Asia to avoid colonization by Britain or France, the two main colonizers in the area. The most commonly cited reason by historians is that the rulers of Siam gave concessions to Western countries, mostly having to do with trade. Thus, Britain got what they wanted out of the situation without having to maintain colonial rule.

When did New Year's Eve start to be celebrated?

The celebration of the new year is the oldest of allholidays

. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible cresent) after the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring).

The beginning of spring is a logical time to start a new year. After all, it is the season of rebirth, of planting new crops, and of blossoming. January 1, on the other hand, has no astronomical nor agricultural significance. It is purely arbitrary.

The Babylonian new year celebration lasted for eleven days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festivities pale in comparison. The Romans continued to observe the new year in late March, but their calendar was continually tampered with by various emperors so that the calendar soon became out of synchronization with the sun.

In order to set the calendar right, the Roman senate, in 153 BC, declared January 1 to be the beginning of the new year. But tampering continued until Julius Caesar, in 46 BC, established what has come to be known as the Julian Calendar. It again established January 1 as the new year. But in order to synchronize the calendar with the sun, Caesar had to let the previous year drag on for 445 days.

THE CHURCH'S VIEW OF NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS

Although in the first centuries AD the Romans continued celebrating the new year, the early Catholic Church condemned the festivities as paganism. But as Christianity became more widespread, the early church began having its own religious observances concurrently with many of the pagan celebrations, and New Year's Day was no different. New Years is still observed as the Feast of Christ's Circumcision by some denominations.

During the Middle Ages, the Church remained opposed to celebrating New Years. January 1 has been celebrated as a holiday by Western nations for only about the past 400 years.

I n countries which use the Gregorian calendar, New Year is usually celebrated on January 1.

Traditionally, the Roman calendar began the first day ofMarch. However, it was in January (the eleventh month) when the consuls of ancient Rome assumed the government.Julius Caesar, in 47 BC, changed the system, creating the Julian calendar. It was modified in the time of Mark Antony consul in 44 BC, again by the emperor Augustus Caesar in 8 BC and finally by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, which brought the calendar to its present day form. This year begins on January 1. Subsequently, this day was marked with a religious significance during the Middle Ages and later centuries.

With the expansion of Western culture to the rest of the world during the twentieth century, the January 1 date became universal in nature, even in countries with their own New Year celebrations (e.g., China andIndia).

Celebrating the arrival of the new year is believed to be the oldest holiday in recorded history. It started with the ancient Babylonians over 4,000 years ago and continued with the Egyptians, Romans, and Celts. January 1st officially became the first day of a new year in 46 B.C. when Julius Caesar established the Julian calendar.

What is the Neolithic Revolution?

The Neolithic revolution was when agriculture and herding replaced migratory hunting and gathering as the dominant lifestyle of human societies. About 12,000 years ago, a highly significant change in human culture occurred when humans in the Middle East began to develop animal husbandry and agriculture. Evidence suggests that this change can be traced to a shift in the climate which brought first unusually warm and wet, and then colder and drier conditions that made hunting and gathering increasingly difficult.

What country colonized indochina?

This is a question that is answered differently depending on political orientation.

According to the Vietnamese, the first colonizers of Vietnam were the Chinese who attempted to integrate Vietnam into China at several points over the last 2000 years. (Of course, the Chinese argue that Vietnam was a province of China that managed to break away from Chinese control in fits and starts.)

Outside of Vietnam, especially in the West, the colonization of Indochina (which included Vietnam) under the French is considered the first colonization of Vietnam. They disqualify the Chinese invasions either because the Chinese Occupation was distinct from colonization as it would be practiced in the Imperialist Period or because of the Euro-centric idea that only Western countries can colonize.

What were the advantages of bipedalism in a savanna environment?

We don't know whether one single mutant ape decided to get up and go into the Savana from the forest edge. If it was, it wopuld have had to be female. If this was the case it would have probably increased the probability of her having a better diet. Or it may have been different chimps or groups of chimps venturing out at different times, over a span of thousands of years. Factors that may have drove them out may have been too much competition for food in the shrinking forests. ADVANTAGES THAT BYPEDALISM GAVE, AND ITS IMPORTANCE Bypedalism is thought to be such an important factor in our early development because it had such a knock on effect. It was an important catalyst for so many other traits that we now see in ourselves. Height advantage -We know from fossil records that our ancestors were no more than about 1 metre tall so it was very important for them to stand right up. -In the long grasses of the Savana it gave apes an advantage as they had to be able to see above the long grass and look out for predators, improving their chances of survival. At first they would not be standing upright all the time, they would jump up at various times to see if there were predators coming, and later on, through mutations they would evolve to stand upright all the time. -Bypedalism would have important consequences as although language wouldn't happen for millions of years, our ancestors could communicate by making noises at each other as they stood upright to warn each other over the grass, of predators. Arms freed up for other purposes -Such as carrying things like infants, tools or food. This is supported by the fact that when chimpanzees are observed walking upright it is often when they are carrying items of food. (although carrying leaves no direct trace in the fossil record) Communication-Maybe through a mutation, a slightly better way of communicating on a slightly broader scale could have happened, which would have given that group of chimps an edge. Diet - maybe whilst one of them foreged for food, there may have been two or three standing upright on the lookout, signalling with their hands. So as a result they may have had a better diet, and healthier offspring. A better diet in turn gives lots of potential for evolution and a larger opportunity to grow. (For example, due to a better diet, modern Europeans are on average one foot taller than Europeans 500 years ago.) - Their diet may also be improved by the fact they could utilise both the forest edge and the Savana due to their being able to stand upright. Hands - As they may well have started to signal with their hands, this over time will have caused their hands to evolve, and much later for them to be able to use stone tools etc. Brain-Being forced into a new environment with these new ways of operating was sure to make the brain grown and evolve to operate in different ways. Increased brain size would mean opportunities to develop even better methods of finding food and communicating, enabling them to be better nourished, and go out even further, creating even more opportunities.

Where did the Indus Valley people live?

How did Vietnam become independent?

The The 1st Indochina War also known as the French Indochina War was a fight for independence. The 2nd Indochina War also known as the American Indochina War or American Vietnam War was a fight against communist aggression.

The Vietnamese wanted independence mainly because of it's war-torn history. it had also had a very long history of being occupied and ruled by foreign oppressors. a combination of both these led to a very strong nationalistic feeling amongst the Vietnamese people which made people like Ho Chi Minh strive for Vietnamese independence. Ho chi Minh was first a nationalist and seconded a communist. The ICP (Indochina communist party) formed in 1930 by Ho Chi Minh was not very successful. However the Viet Minh, formed in 1941, was a lot more popular. this is because the people of Vietnam were nationalists - they wanted independence, not communism. Ho chi Minh dreamed of Independence , he found communism to be the answer to his dreams - his path to achieving independence.
