Reply to classmates 1. The primary weakness that the Mongols have is their economic and administrative abilities. Even thought they have created the largest empire they were not doing okay in regards with economic and administrative abilities because of the following, “The adviser reacted calmly but argued that taxing the cities and villages would bring greater wealth. The Great Khan agreed, but he imposed an oppressive tax-farming system instead of the fixed-rate method traditional to China” (p. 332). Do to the false response and agreement that they had it made China to suffer because of the tax-farming system. The difficulties that the Mongols had were, “The agricultural base, damage by war, overtaxation, and the passage of armies, could not satisfy the financial needs of the Mongol aristocracy. Following earlier precedent, the imperial government made up the shortfall with paper money” (p. 334). This shows that they were not doing well with handling with economic and administrative abilities that they even have to make fake money in order to show that they were doing okay with handling with their economy. With all of this problems things started to change and that change was that, “families moved from their traditional homes in the countryside to engage in urban commerce. Specialized shops selling clothing, grape wine, furniture, and religiously butchered meats became common” (p. 334). Which shows that people had to go back to their old way of selling things because the Mongols were not successful with economic and administrative abilities. 2. I believe that the primary weakness of the Mongols was their economic and administrative abilities rather than their violence. Therefore, I also agree with the statement that “the weaknesses of the Mongols lay more in their economic administration than in their violence or rapacity.” There was a lot of international trade going on from the Mongols to other places like China and other middle eastern and europe territories. However, the transfer of these goods also led to the transfer of diseases like the bubonic plague (Bulliet et al., pg 325, 2019). This plague “incapacitated” the Mongol army during and assault in Kaffa. This plague also resulted in the destruction of “dams, irrigation channels, farmland, and crops” (Pg 326). This destruction impacted the economy of the Mongols as it decreased their food production and trade. Tax farming was something used with goods and crops and extracted wealth from subjects. It essentially lowered administrative costs, however, it also caused landowners to go into debt. Due to the lack of crops and other goods being grown and produced, a lot of these farmers struggled and could not supply the army (Pg. 327). With the crippling diseases and lack of food, the army surely struggled and endured a lot of weakness. Although they were tough and brutal fighters, I believe that it was their economic and administrative abilities that was their primary weakness.

Research Project Essay and Discussion: Hi-Value Shoe Store The ScenarioMary is the sole owner of Hi-Value Shoe Store, a small business located in a suburban working-class community. She inherited the business from her Aunt Marty three years ago. Up until then, business had been slow because of the declining economy. Lately, however, business has picked up, and revenues have doubled because of an increase in employees at the neighboring manufacturing plant. The plant recently received a valuable contract from the federal government to produce bulletproof vests.As a result of the increase in business, Mary hired two new full-time employees but was short on the funds necessary for expansion of the business. Mary was able to obtain a loan from Community Bank, but the bank required a security interest and that Mary be personally liable on the note. The language of the security agreement contained the following clause: “The note is secured by the inventory of Hi-Value Shoe Store, currently owned and any later acquired inventory, until said note is fully paid and satisfied.” The bank immediately perfected the security interest by filing a financing statement.Mary decided to purchase inventory from ABC Wholesale Suppliers (ABC) on credit a few weeks after obtaining the loan from the bank. She took possession of the inventory on April 16. ABC required that she sign a promissory note and security agreement, with the inventory being listed as collateral.For at least one year, Mary was able to make payments on both obligations from the proceeds of the business. Unfortunately, the manufacturing plant lost its government contract and eliminated 50% of its workforce over a six-month period. As a result, Mary’s business lost customers and began to operate at a loss. It became unable to pay its obligations to both the bank and ABC and ended up defaulting on both loans.Both secured parties sought to repossess the inventory from Mary’s store, sell the inventory, and then hold Mary personally liable for any deficiency. Mary, aware that she might be held personally responsible for the debt, considered declaring bankruptcy. InstructionsAfter reading the scenario, write an essay responding to the questions below.To answer the questions, please conduct research beyond the textbook from this course – for example, utilize Web sources, resources at your public library, and your professional networks.Your essay should be a two-page document that you will upload to this discussion board.Post your essay in the discussion board no later than the due date (listed in the top-right corner of this discussion page. QuestionsDiscuss and determine which secured party has a priority under UCC Article.Assume that the shoe store has sold some of the inventory to Lindsay, a college student. Would the secured parties be able to repossess the shoes from Lindsay?What affect would Mary’s filing of Chapter 7 bankruptcy have on the UCC Article 9 foreclosure process?

I need an explanation for this Sociology question to help me study.

In the discussion below, explain YOUR definition of a family.Video Transcript: Definition of FamilyActually, sociologists don’t agree very much about how to define family, but probably the vast majority of sociologists don’t always bother to ask that question directly – they tend to sidestep it. I think anthropologists are a bit more careful here because anthropologists almost always are focusing on comparing one culture to another, and too often sociologists – not all sociologists but many sociologists – work within their own countries and tend to take for granted the definition of family that they presume is most widespread there. There are sociologists who challenge the definitions, and there certainly are some interesting conversations about what counts as a family. What’s really interesting is that the public does tend to agree more on what counts as a family than sociologists probably do or that most politicians do. Most people today when they are polled will tell you that a family are people who love and take care of each other, which is actually a worldly revolutionary definition of family, because historically family has always been defined much more by issues of social obligation and reproduction and economic interdependency and religious constraints and things like that. So, our families have changed dramatically and I’m not sure that sociologists have always been able to keep up as well as maybe even people who are living their lives are able to.AND REPLY TO RAMANDEEP: (3-4 sentences)Family, a gathering of people joined by the ties of marriage, blood, or reception, comprising a solitary family and communicating with one another in their individual social positions, generally those of companions, guardians, youngsters, and kin. The family gathering ought to be recognized from a family, which might incorporate guests and roomers sharing a typical home. It ought to likewise be separated from a fellow, on the grounds that a fellow might be partitioned into a few families. As often as possible the family isn’t separated from the marriage pair, however the quintessence of the family bunch is the parent-kid relationship, which might be missing from numerous marriage pairs.At its best, the family performs different significant capacities for its individuals. Maybe generally significant of all, it accommodates enthusiastic and mental security, especially through the glow, love, and friendship that living respectively produces among mates and thus among them and their youngsters. The family likewise gives an important social and political capacity by organizing reproduction and by giving rules to the guideline of sexual direct. The family furthermore gives such other socially helpful capacities as the raising and socialization of youngsters, alongside such compassionate exercises as focusing on its individuals when they are debilitated or handicapped.
