Lenin's Foundation of Soviet Power

Lenin and Stalin were both central figures in Soviet history, shaping the course of the state's political development through authoritarian rule. Lenin, the founder of Soviet Russia, built the foundation for a centralized one-party state, justified by his interpretation of Marxism and the "dictatorship of the proletariat." He exercised political authority through the establishment of key structures like the Soviets, the Cheka (secret police), and the Red Army.

Riba's Contribution to Poverty

Riba (usury) exacerbates poverty by exploiting people's wealth. It is a significant factor in rising prices and economic recession.

Borrowers often struggle to repay loans, ultimately leading to increased interest and indebtedness.

Subjectivity, Objectivity, and Bias in History

  • Objectivity

    • The goal of history.
    • But historians say that objectivity is not possible as history is based on interpretation, and hence subjectivity is bound to come.
  • Bias

    • Something that is done deliberately.
    • For propaganda.
    • Vested interest, to prove something.
    • This is known as pattern writing.
  • Why Subjectivity Enters Historical Writing

    • Social Animal

      • Everyone goes through the process of social interactions.
      • The personality that evolves through social interaction also lies within the historian.
    • Ideology

      • Ideas people incorporate with them.
    • Area of Research

      • When a historian chooses their area for investigation, the moment they choose it out of their own inherent interest, subjectivity obviously enters.
    • Religion

      • For example,

The Reign of Isabel II (1833-1868)

The reign of Isabel II can be divided into two main phases: her minority, with two regencies (her mother, Maria Cristina of Naples, who was soon confronted by the Carlist Wars, and General Espartero), and her majority, which went through three stages: the Moderate Decade, the Progressive Biennium, and the Liberal Union.

Submetida a um tratamento médico, uma pessoa ingeriu um comprimido contendo 45 mg de ácido acetilsalicílico (C9H8O4). Considerando a massa molar do C9H8O4 180g/mol e o número de Avogadro 6.10²³, o número de moléculas da substancia ingerida é?
Primeiro transformando mg para g

1g..................1000mg
