“Few wives in antebellum America enjoyed a life free from labor. Family life depended on the smooth performance of an extensive array of unpaid occupations in the household, and on the presence . . . of someone to provide that work—to supervise the children through the vicissitudes of a changing social and economic order; to make and mend clothes, quilts, pillows, and other household furnishings; to shop for items the household could afford . . . , and scavenge . . . for those it could not; to clean, cook, and bake; and, whenever necessary, to move from unpaid to paid labor to bolster the household income. The growth . . . of the cash [economy] of the Northeast had not rendered this labor superfluous. Nor had it reduced housework to unskilled labor.”
Jeanne Boydston, historian, Home and Work, 1990

In your own words, explain the benefits and limitations of using tanks in WWI.
Answer:
WWI had several undesirable features the most important being:
Tanks were not reliable: tanks broke down with astounding regularity at such a rate that initially most tanks would not make it through the first 24 hours of combat. The reliability was improved as experience was gained but remained high throughout the war.
Tanks were slow; about the same speed as a walking man or not much more (at least the large ones). The smaller variety achieved higher speed over firm and flat surfaces, such as they could encounter after a breakthrough. But to get there they had to navigate the crater infested battlefields, with additional obstacles such as trenches, rubble, etc. The operational speed was not impressive to say the least.
Explanation:
Tanks were toxic: men fought alongside a smoke generating engine, in a confined space in which they generated more fumes from their own weapons. Add the noise and heat of the weapons and engine and it is no surprise that crew performance suffered as a result.
Tanks were dangerous to the crew: they had no safety gear. As the tanks rumble across the battlefield, the crew was subjected to shocks and was liable to be thrown about, colliding with the mechanical gear and/or the weapons themselves. In a famous demonstration for the British King, half the crew was knocked out when they drove over an alleged bunker!
Tanks were not impervious to armor piercing rounds nor to field artillery: tanks sported large steel plates, but these were not in lined nor shape in any manner. Thus they relied on sheer depth to stop penetration. But penetration was not the only threat. The metal plates were subject to "spalding" where flecks of molten metal would detach from the inside surface of the plates, striking the crew and injuring them.
Tanks were relatively short ranged: the fuel consumption was high, the fuel reservoirs were small, thus severely limiting the combat range, not that they were expected to go that far: penetrating a few kilometers to the third trench system was all that was expected until plans were made for the 1919 Campaign.
They were heavy and cumbersome: once immobilized, they had to be repaired in situ. They were no tank recovery vehicles to speak of. This means that if and when the Germans recapture the battlefield in a counter-attack, they captured the tanks and could them back in operation for themselves. This happened more than what admitted at the time.
These are the 'cons'. What about the 'pros'?
If and where they did not break down or became disabled due to enemy fire or difficult terrain, they were very effective, especially in the absence of effective infantry anti-tank weapons. They did overcome the barbed wire, trenches, and most machine gun resistance encountered and facilitated if not created breakthrough for the following infantry.
Tanks were 'force multipliers', transporting a few men and weapons to the crucial battlefield spots where they could the most damage.
Tanks, at least initially, were shock and awe weapons. German infantry, generally defenseless against them (on their own), would be affected and this reduced their combat effectiveness. As experience was gained, they lost some, but not all, of the morale impact.
Tanks represented the weapons of the future. Given field experience and increasingly better technology, they were the precursor to the armored fighting vehicles of the 30's and 40's.
Using the map below, explain how to find the longitude and latitude of Mexico City. Be sure to provide the longitude and latitude measurements within your explanation.
Answer:
Finding the latitude and longitude of Mexico city is very simple. You only have too find the nearest latitude marker, which is 20 degrees North, and the nearest longitude marker, which is 100 degrees West. From there, in any sufficiently large physical map, or more commonly, in a visual map software, the more specific coordinates can be found.
In the case of Mexico city, the exact latitude is 19.4 degrees North, and the exact longitude is 99.1 degrees West.

An explanation of why a new, stronger government is necessary.
Answer:
A strong central government is a form of government that is able to force the states and municipalities to abide by the central government's laws that they set out.The United States, in comparison to other countries like France, does not have a very strong central government. The question that arises is: should the United States federal government be able to override state policies? There are many who feel that the Constitution should not entrust greater powers to Washington DC and less power to the states. Entrusting more power to Washington DC would create a tyranny over the country. There is generally speaking a good balance with the way the power is set up between the federal level and the state level. State and local governments are fundamentally equipped to handle the current public policy challenges of today due to having control over the areas that they represent.

what is the most likely effect of the media focusing on a paricular issue in multiple stories
Answer:
The issue becomes part of the public agenda, prompting policy changes.
Explanation:
The promotion of a certain issue will most likely lead to activists movements. If the movements gained a lot of support, Government representatives candidates who wanted to run for office will see that activism as a potential to obtain a huge voter base.
If those representatives won the election , that representatives could start to make a push to create legislations to fix that issues. This is why it could act as a prompt that lead to policy changes
