You receive another request for help. This time you’re being asked to identify a problem and let people know what to expect in the future.


Stefano Buonaiuti of Italy is in distress. What is this “pestilence” everyone is talking about? Where did it come from? What’s going to happen to Europe? Stefano has even begun to believe that no one will survive, and life as he knows it will come to an end. Your mission is to research his problem, find out what it is, what caused it, and send him a message in a time capsule letting him know what the future will bring. Read what Stefano Buonaiuti has to say about the disease:


In the year of our lord 1348 there occurred in the city of Florence a great pestilence, and such was its fury and violence that in whatever household it took hold, whosoever took care of the sick, all the carers died of the same illness, and almost nobody survived beyond the fourth day . . . Such was the fear that nobody knew what to do: when it caught hold in a household, it often happened that not a single person escaped death. . . .


At every church, or at most of them, pits were dug, down to the water-table, as wide and deep as the parish was populous; and therein, whosoever was not very rich, having died during the night, would be shouldered by those whose duty it was [and be] thrown into this pit. The next morning there would be very many in the pit. Earth would be taken and thrown down on them; and then others would come on top of them, and then earth on top again, in layers, with very little earth, like garnishing lasagna with cheese.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

What is the name of the pestilence?-  The black death.

Where did it come from? rats and other rodents

What caused it? A bacteria called Yersinia pestis

Where did it spread? Transmission of the plague to people can also occur from eating infected animals such as squirrels (for example, in the southeastern U.S.) Once someone has the plague, they can transmit it to another person via aerosol droplets.

What are the short-term effects? Famine, noone worked in fear of catching the black death or, they had already caught it and was either dead or sick.

What are the long-term effects? The long term effects of the Black Death were devastating and far reaching. Agriculture, religion, economics and even social class were affected. Contemporary accounts shed light on how medieval Britain was irreversibly changed...

Answer 2

Answer:

  Dear Stefano,

   I have heard that you have been distressed about the recent "pestilence" that has been going around and I wanted to share with you some things that might be helpful to know. The name of the pestilence is the Black Death or the Bubonic plague. The Bubonic plague was believed to start in China and spread along trade routes. The cause of the pestilence is infected fleas that are found on rats and other rodents. The pestilence spreads when an infected flea jumps from person to person, biting and killing them. The short-term effects/symptoms of the pestilence are fever, chills, extreme weakness, stomach aches, and nausea. The long-term effects/things that are happening or should be expected to happen are a drastic decline in the population, cities being fled, many children are being abondoned, and famine due to a lack of workers and farmers. Some ways to prevent getting sick are, using soap and washing your hands, telling others to use soap and wash their hands, and if you see rodents on the street do not touch or come close to them. I know you are worried but this plague will end eventually, right now this is all you can do to prevent this plague. I wish you the best.

Explanation:

A graph has Quantity on the x-axis and price in dollars on the y-axis. A line that represents supply has a positive slope and a line that represents demand has a negative slope. The lines intersect each other at the point of equilibrium. A point on the demand line represents the quantity supplied, and a points on the demand line represents quantity demanded. Both are at the same price point below equilibrium. Use this graph to answer the following questions. In this example, what is occurring within the market? What is there an excess of? What could solve the problem shown in this graph?

Answers

Answer: 1)excess supply

2) they should fall

Explanation: 100% correct on edg

The market is in equilibrium when the supply and demand curves intersect. The quantity supplied and demanded is equal at this point. The quantity is the equilibrium quantity, and the price is the equilibrium price, also known as the market-clearing price.

What is the equilibrium law of supply and demand?

According to the law of supply and demand, prices will decrease if there is a surplus of a good or service compared to the demand for it. Price increases occur when demand outpaces supply. The price at which the supply and demand are in perfect balance in a free market is known as the equilibrium price.

The price at which the quantity of supply and demand is balanced is known as the equilibrium price. The point where the demand and supply curves intersect is what determines it. There is a surplus when there is more supply of a good or service than there is demand for it at the going rate; this forces the price down.

What was different about the life of slaves in the British colonies compared toBrazil and the Carribean?

Answers

Answer:

Slavery formed a cornerstone of the British Empire in the 18th century. Every colony had enslaved people, from the southern rice plantations in Charles Town, South Carolina, to the northern wharves of Boston.

Slavery was more than a labor system; it also influenced every aspect of colonial thought and culture. The uneven relationship it engendered gave white colonists an exaggerated sense of their own status. English liberty gained greater meaning and coherence for white people when they contrasted their status to that of the unfree class of enslaved black people in British America. African slavery provided white colonists with a shared racial bond and identity.
