Contusion vs. Concussion: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
Author: Spinalcord.com Team
Publish Date: May 20, 2020
Contusions-and-Concussions-Are-Similar
Newly-initiated spinal cord injury survivors are hit with a dizzying array of terms to remember—and doctors aren't always the best at simplifying what their endless list of jargon actually means to patients. For example, two terms that are closely associated with head/brain injuries are contusion and concussion. These terms are often used semi-interchangeably by non-experts, but doctors often have a set definition in mind when they use either term.
“What is a contusion? What is a concussion? How do the two terms differ from one another? What treatments are available for each? How can I tell if I have a contusion or a concussion?” People who have experienced any kind of severe head injury often have questions like these. Here is some information to help you answer these questions:
What is a Contusion?
What is another name for contusion? The word “contusion” is basically another word for a bruise—a collection of blood not in a blood vessel. Contusions can also be referred to as hematomas (based on the Greek words for “blood” and “mass”).
Contusions can occur in any part of the body subjected to trauma that ruptures blood vessels. For example, say you get hit hard in the arm with a baseball, and it bruises. That bruise could be called a contusion by medical professionals. Or, say you fall hard on your back, and it bruises. That could be a sign of a spinal contusion—which can be every bit as bad as a contusion in the brain.
What is a Concussion?
The term “concussion” generally refers to widespread brain trauma due to a blow to the head, shaking, or a similar injury. While contusions can happen anywhere on the body, concussions are specific to injuries that affect the brain—and may not involve visible bruises.
The effects of a concussion are varied, and may change in severity depending on the location of the injury, the severity of the force applied to the brain, and the quality of care following the injury.

One might assume a concussion is just a more serious contusion. The reality is that the two injuries are fundamentally different. While they are related, and one can cause the other, understanding the difference between a concussion vs contusion can help you get a better idea of what to expect from your recovery journey.
Because both contusions and concussions are a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and because both are often the result of a fall or blow to the head, it's easy to confuse the two. Even more confusing is the fact that you can have both at the same time.
A contusion does not mean you have a concussion, but some contusions are caused by head trauma so severe that the damage affects a larger portion of your brain. Likewise, a concussion does not necessarily indicate a contusion, since shaking and other brain injuries can produce brain damage without visible bruising.
The difference between the two ultimately comes down to a simple distinction:
A contusion is any injury that causes blood to collect under the skin. Contusions range from relatively minor to life-threatening. Because the blood must clot to stop the bleeding a bruise results from, contusions also increase cardiovascular risks.
A concussion is an injury resulting specifically from brain trauma. These injuries can have both temporary and lasting

"all men are created equal": person's rights are as important as every other person's rights. Thus, option B is the correct option.
What are all men created equal and have the right to?We firmly believe that all people are created equal and that these rights, including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, are given to them by their Creator.--Governments are established among men to uphold these rights; they derive their legitimate authority from the consent of the governed; and whenever a particular form of government starts to work against these ends, the people have the right to alter or abolish it and re-establish a new one, based on whatever values and organizational structures seem most likely to ensure their safety and happiness. Prudence, in fact, will require that long-established governments should not be altered for trivial and temporary reasons.

In paragraph form, describes the main idea of the 5 characteristics of civilization.
Answer:
A civilization is often defined as a complex culture with five characteristics which include: advanced cities, specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and advanced technology. Advanced Cities Cities were the birthplaces of the first civilizations. A city is more than a large group of people living together. The size of the population alone does not distinguish a village from a city. One of the key differences is that a city is a center of trade for a larger area. Like their modern-day counterparts, ancient city dwellers depended on trade. Farmers, merchants, and traders brought goods to market in the cities. The city dwellers themselves produced a variety of goods for exchange. Specialized Workers As cities grew, so did the need for more specialized workers, such as traders, government officials, and priests. Food surpluses provided the opportunity for specialization—the development of skills in a specific kind of work. An abundant food supply allowed some people to become expert at jobs besides farming. Some city dwellers became artisans—skilled workers who make goods by hand. Specialization helped artisans develop their skill at designing jewelry, fashioning metal tools and weapons, or making clothing and pottery. The wide range of crafts artisans produced helped cities become centers of trade. Complex Institutions The soaring populations of early cities made government, or a system of ruling, necessary. In civilizations, leaders emerged to maintain order among people and to establish laws. Government is an example of an institution—a long-lasting pattern of organization in a community. Complex institutions, such as government, religion, and the economy, are another characteristic of civilization. With the growth of cities, religion became a formal institution. Most cities had great temples where dozens of priests took charge of religious duties. Sumerians believed that every city belonged to a god who governed the city’s activities. The temple was the hub of both government and religious affairs. It also served as the city’s economic center. There food and trade items were distributed. Record Keeping As government, religion, and the economy became more complex, people recognized the need to keep records. In early civilizations, government officials had to document tax collections, the passage of laws, and the storage of grain. Priests needed a way to keep track of the calendar and important rituals. Merchants had to record accounts of debts and payments. Most civilizations developed a system of writing, though some devised other methods of record keeping. Around 3000 B.C., Sumerian scribes—or professional record keepers—invented a system of writing called cuneiform , meaning “wedge-shaped.” (Earlier Sumerian writing consisted of pictographs—symbols of the objects or what they represented.) The scribe’s tool, called a stylus, was a sharpened reed with a wedge-shaped point. It was pressed into moist clay to create symbols. Scribes baked their clay tablets in the sun to preserve the writing. People soon began to use writing for other purposes besides record keeping. They also wrote about their cities’ dramatic events—wars, natural disasters, the reign of kings. Thus, the beginning of civilization in Sumer also signaled the beginning of written history. Improved Technology New tools and techniques are always needed to solve problems that emerge when large groups of people live together. In early civilizations, some farmers harnessed the powers of animals and nature. For example, they used ox-drawn plows to turn the soil. They also created irrigation systems to expand planting areas. Sumerian artisans relied on new technology to make their tasks easier. Around 3500 B.C., they first used the potter’s wheel to shape jugs, plates, and bowls. Sumerian metalworkers discovered that melting together certain amounts of copper and tin made bronze. After 2500 B.C., metalworkers in Sumer’s cities turned out bronze spearheads by the thousands. The period called the Bronze Age refers to the time when people began using bronze, rather than copper and stone, to fashion tools and weapons. The Bronze Age started in Sumer around 3000 B.C., but the date varied in other parts of Asia and in Europe.

Answer:
I believe the most effective way of bringing social change is civil discourse and debate. Now 10 years ago I would've said activism and raising awareness, as there were so many issues with society that society had turned a blind eye to. But today, the mass majority of people are aware of issues that our society has and have already made their decision about it and thats the biggest issue we face. Protests/activism and raising awareness is no longer that effective because the majority is already aware of the issue and have made up their mind about it. We cannot use laws or regulations to change society, everyone has the right to believe what they want to believe, no matter how wrong it is.
The problem we are facing is that both sides of the debate are stubborn in their ways and refuses to agree with the other side and society cannot change because of that. The solution is civil discourse and debate. Both sides need to explain their side of the issue and their issues with the other side (respectfully). They need to have an open mind and really put themselves in eachothers shoes. Only then can we learn from eachother and progress as a society and break this standstill we are in right now.

Why did Marshall describe the economy in Europe over the past 10 years as "highly
abnormal"?
Answer:
When Secretary of State Marshall accepted an invitation from Harvard University to receive an honorary degree during the first week in June 1947, the State Department informed the president of the Alumni Association that Marshall would make a speech for the afternoon meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association but that Marshall did not want it to be a major speech of the occasion. There were no discussions with representatives of other governments; there were no notifications of the American press that an important speech was to be delivered, and even Harvard President James B. Conant did not expect a major address from General Marshall.
The speech was drafted by Chip Bohlen, a Russia specialist and interpreter who used memoranda from the Director of the Policy Planning Staff George F. Kennan and from Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs William Clayton. Bohlen especially benefited from Clayton’s graphic oral descriptions of Europe’s situation. In the memorandum he wrote, “Millions of people in the cities are slowly starving,” if the standard of living continued to deteriorate, “there will be revolution.”
On the day of the speech the capacity crowd of 15,000 in Harvard Yard did not expect to see history made but simply to see one of the most admired public servants in America. However when Secretary Marshall began to read his speech there was a recognition that the carefully worded remarks on the political and economic crisis in Europe marked an important event. In that speech, Marshall outlined the need for an economic aid plan to help the devastated nations of Europe and their citizens to recover from the ravages of World War II. When Marshall said, “It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace,” the Secretary of State committed the United States to consider a European recovery plan that would be developed by the Europeans and presented to the United States. Thus was launched The Marshall Plan for which George C. Marshall would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

what agreement led to the withdrawll of federal troops from the south
The agreement that led to the withdrawal of federal troops from the south was the Compromise of 1877.
What was the Compromise of 1877?
the 1876 presidential election between Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, leaving Rutherford Hayes as president.
This agreement established that the electoral colleges would grant the presidency to Hayes, in exchange for his government accepting certain demands of the Democratic Party led by Tilden. This agreement was accepted by the Republican party to prevent the Democratic party from imposing limitations on the Hayes government.
The commitments demanded by the Democratic Party were mainly focused on benefiting the population of the South that 12 years ago had been defeated in the Civil War. For example:
The withdrawal of all federal government troops that remained in the southern states; Although in 1876 only Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida were still under military occupation, the Compromise hastened the end of this situation. Appoint at least one Southern Democrat to Hayes' cabinet. Build a transcontinental railroad from the southern states to the Pacific Ocean, starting from Texas. Establish laws for the industrialization of the South.
