June/06 World History Questions Compilation

<p>omg and we have to wait 3 more weeks</p>

<p>I know! Ughhhhh. I really don't like standarized tests in humanities.. </p>

<p>Do you guys remember that question with a quote from Malthus about population levels vs. living standards? I couldn't decide between two answers, and ended up guessing.</p>

<p>I think it was...</p>

<p>As populations grow, living standards decrease (due to resources).</p>

<p>His theory was basically that you could control population by keeping living standards low... and the question asked why this theory was dismissed in the 19th/20th (can't remember) century...</p>

<p>Whatever - I'm pretty sure I got this one wrong. I still don't understand it really.</p>

<p>Malthus' theory was proven wrong because as population increased, living standards increased.</p>

<p>ooh now i remember the question
i put population rose along with living standards
he was basically arguing that population and living standards could not both rise simultaneously because a high population would mean low food supply, and vice versa
if population and living standards rose at the same time (which it did) this would disprove his theory</p>

<p>The map with the arrows...what was that? I got it right, just don't remember the question.</p>

<p>polynesian migrations</p>

<p>The one about Gorbachev...wouldn't you say that glasnost would be a westernization with the openess and more consumer culture from the west?</p>

<p>Peter the Great's policies partially failed because of his continued autocracy. But I guess there's the table of ranks...?</p>

<p>does anyone remember whether the "western" choice was something along the lines of "western TECHNOLOGY"? cuz then that would be wrong...</p>

<p>Liberal: adj.
1. Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.</p>

<p>Peter was liberal.</p>

<p>1-4 wrong :)</p>

<p>i don't know why u stoped posting on this board but anyway i remember one more question, that kinda made me laugh, because how could we know it.</p>

<p>Question: it was a picture of a can of chicken soup and they asked who drew the artwork for the label? Anybody got that one, if yes how? guessing?</p>

<p>^That question on was on the USH test not WH. And it was a can of tomato soup, not chicken.</p>

<p>Wharhol...I knew it because it's famous</p>

<p>Yeah, that's a really famous painting.</p>

<p>I thought it was a gimme question...you could also do POE if you didn't know.</p>
