Francis Bacon was an English philosopher and scientist. He is known as the creator of Empiricism. A theory that states that knowledge comes from the trial of a proposed hypothesis. In other words, proving what is stated by putting a proposal into practice and either proving it or neglecting it.

Rene Descartes was a French mathematician and scientist. He is known as the father of the Cartesian Coordinate System. A system that specifies the location of a point in a plane by giving it a set of coordinates (axis X and Y). This method is widely used nowadays.

How did the Jim Crow laws fortify and perpetuate, or continue, racial discrimination in the United States?
Dahasolnce [82]
Jim Crow laws were laws passed in the Southern states in the US after the era of Reconstruction. These laws perpetuated racial discrimination because they resulted in segregated public facilities. For example, Jim Crow laws lead to separate schools, churches, parks, bus stops, restaurants, and movie theaters for black and white citizens.

These segregated facilities continued to promote racial discrimination, as the facilities for black American citizens were inferior to those for white citizens. This was especially true when it came to public schools.

Using complete sentences, describe the characteristics of NGOs and specify the qualities that make them unique from government l
insens350 [35]
An NGO is a non-governmental organization.  They are voluntary groups, which are independent of governments.  Some do get funding from government programs, but they are not under the direct control of a government office.  NGOs typically also are not-for-profit; they are not businesses aimed at making money for themselves.  Their aim is to help people in disadvantaged areas or circumstances.  Some NGOs give out loans to help people improve their lives. Typically they will have more flexible or workable loan arrangements for a needy borrower than might be available from typical governmental sources of loans or traditional bank loans.  For instance, there are NGOs that will grant small business loans without requiring collateral.  Or there are NGOs that do microlending -- very small loans in developing countries to help someone get started with a very basic business.  FINCA and Hope International are both examples of NGOs that do this sort of microlending.
