How did the gilded age affect the poor people in society?
The poor felt abused and forgotten throughout the Gilded Age. There were few labor unions and strikes were fairly unsuccessful at improving working conditions and wages. Tycoons like J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller were notorious for exploiting poor workers. If that wasn't enough, city life was impacted and ghetto-like. No cities were adequately prepared to manage trash collection or even have a proper sewage system, and the pro-business Gilded Age government often looked the other way while the poor suffered. There was a popular sentiment that poor people were lazy, therefore they deserved the conditions in which they lived.
What does 'learning without thought is labor lost thought without learning is perilous' mean?
'Learning, without thought, is labour lost' simply means; Rote, or repetition learning, without thinking about what you are learning is a waste of time; you can easily repeat what you've 'learned', but can't use what you've memorized, because you've not 'thought' about what it means. The second part is a trifle more complex. 'Thought, without learning, is perilous'. It's similar to 'When you listen, you learn, but, when you speak, you only repeat what you've heard.' Thinking, on its own, must ultimately be circular; you can only use the opinions you've already learned. If, however, you keep reading and listening, your thinking will become wider and wider in scope. ________________________________________________________________ In order to understand this question a person has to know information about THOUGHt, and the THINKING PROGRESS... and a dictionary
LEARNING WITHOUT THOUGHT is attempting to take in KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT using the POWER of WILL to retain the KNOWLEDGE. A person has to have a WILL in order to do LABOR. So without the use of WILL to accompany Knowledge. A person will feel the need not to retain the information. This can happen when pyschological problems arise. Thought without learning is dangerous.

How did the jutes influence yothe english language?
The Jutes (from Jutland, now part of Denmark) were one of the groups of people who migrated to Britain whe the Romans left (starting in the 5th Century). Along with the Saxons, Anglians, and probably some Frisians and Netherlanders, they and their descendants lived in what is now England, and over the years the languages (all of the Germanic language family to begin with) started merging into what we usually call Old English, or Anglo-Saxon.
In the 11th Century the Normans came from France, and in the centuries following that, their language also got mixed in. The result is that Modern English has many Anglo-Saxon words (and a lot of the basic grammar) but also many words related to French.
What does a purple nautical star symbolize?
The nautical star is a very old modern tattoo, going back at least a century or more. Back in the days of yore, before modern navigation, sailors would navigate in part by the stars in the night skies, in particular the North Star in the Northern Hemisphere, and various other constellations of stars in the night sky. In the Southern Hemisphere, sailors had to use different stars and the Southern Cross became quite well-known. Sailors would then tattoo nautical stars on them because they relied on the stars to take them home, and being superstitious, they hoped their star tattoos would get them home safely as well. Compass stars are also popular for this reason. The nautical stars were originally used by sailors to help guide their way as they sailed through the night. They relied upon the stars to protect them and bring them home safely. A lot of soldiers get nautical stars for the same reason...protection. It is a symbol of protection and guidance. It was a very popular tattoo among sailors. So a case could be made that the nautical star tattoo, or a tattoo of any star for that matter, would be a symbol of guidance. Now as time has passed the nautical stars represent the direction of one's life, for those of us who are not sailors but still need guidance. Some say that if the nautical star is pointed upwards they have a higher outlook on life and so on. The meaning of the Nautical star is to create your own path, but use the stars as a guide when you are lost or scared.
