as U.S. residents were especially likely to think that hard work brings success.
culture determined the way people view poverty in the US
If Americans believe hard work brings success, then they should be more likely than people in most other nations to believe that poverty stems from not working hard enough. True or false, this belief is an example of the blaming-the-victim ideology. Figure 1.1.3.12 presents WVS percentages of respondents who said the most important reason people are poor is “laziness and lack of willpower.” As expected, Americans are much more likely to attribute poverty to not working hard enough.

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice provides some interesting examples of "flat" and "round" characters. Note, however, that identifying those examples will largely depend on the reader's response to Austen's characters
you can identify who is a round or flat character, but It largely depends on how you respond to them
The really flat character can be expressed in one sentence such as “I will never desert Mr Micawber.” There is Mrs Micawber – she says she won't desert Mr Micawber; she doesn't, and there she is.
example of a flat character
"Round" characters, by contrast, are described and developed in such a way as to achieve three-dimensionality, a physical and psychological complexity that mimics that of the real people we come to know in our everyday lives.
definition of a round character
The word "flat" suggests a one-dimensional figure, and what Forster meant by "flat" characters were those who are largely taken to represent a particular idea, human trait, or set of values, much like the static characters described above. They are caricatures who can be easily and quickly summarised; Forster gives an example:
definition of flat character
We can define archetype as an original model for a type of character, but that doesn't fully explain the term. One way to think of an archetype is to think of how a bronze statue is made. First, the sculptor creates his design out of wax or clay. Next, he creates a fireproof mold around the original.
definition of archetype
Thus, a foil will often be the polar opposite of the main character he or she highlights. Sometimes, the foil can take the form of a sidekick or friend. Other times, he or she might be someone who contends against the protagonist. For example, an author might use a decisive and determined foil to draw attention to a protagonist's lack of resolve and motivation.
The "foil" highlights how opposite the two are and is usually a sidekick or friend. they are also used to show the lack of resolve and motivation for what they're doing, a sort a eye opening character to help the protagonist
These are the other characters in the story. They sometimes support the protagonist or antagonist in their struggles, and they sometimes never come into contact with the main characters.
so they help the main characters without ever meeting them?
scoundrel

Sometimes, the protagonist can take the form of the antihero. The antihero is a protagonist who does not embody traditional “heroic” values. However, the reader will still sympathize with an antihero
definition of antihero
The antagonist is the character who stands in opposition of the protagonist. The antagonist is the other half of the conflict.
definition of antagonist
The protagonist is the focal point of the conflict, meaning that he or she is the main character of the story. All the action in a story will revolve around its protagonist.
definition of protagonist
A conflict can be internal or external. Internal conflict takes place within an individual, such as when a character is torn between duty to his family and duty to the state. External conflict occurs when two individuals or groups of individuals clash. A struggle between a character and his best friend is an example of an external conflict.
the difference between them is that internal conflict can come from within an example like emotions on whether they should do the right thing. while the external conflict is something that is outside like when two people disagree with each other
Conflict occurs between two opposing sides in a story, usually centering on characters' values, needs, or interests.
definition of conflict
as dynamic. Other characters, often described as static, may be much less thoroughly-drawn; they may be introduced to the narrative primarily to perform a particular narrative or thematic function, and will probably undergo little or no change in the course of the story.
the difference between static and dynamic characters are that static characters don’t change the course of the story while a dynamic character undergoes internal change like in personality, attitude, or worldview this as a result of the conflicts and experiences they encounter in a story
We expect that such characters, and others close to the heart of narrative events, will be presented to us in great detail; we may be allowed access to their consciousness, either by the use of first-person narration or third-person focalisation, and it is extremely likely that they will undergo some sort of significant personal change (for better or worse) as a result of their experiences.
Focalisation refers to the narrative device of a story being filtered through the perspective or consciousness of a specific character or viewpoint, determining who sees and thinks the events in the story
We use the term characterisation to describe the strategies that an author uses to present and develop the characters in a narrative. This use of descriptive techniques will vary from character to character.

What limits, if any, do you think there should be on the use of touch in airport screening procedures?
Because we have more advanced airport technology I think it should be limited more, as well as if touch is absolutely necessary, should be done in private, with a supervisor there.
The engulfing hug is similar to a bear hug in that one person completely wraps the arms around the other as that person basically stands there. This hugging behavior usually occurs when someone is very excited and hugs the other person without warning
This hug can be especially awkward and constricting often times.
Touch is necessary for human social development, and it can be welcoming, threatening, or persuasive. Research projects have found that students evaluated a library and its staff more favorably if the librarian briefly touched the patron while returning his or her library card, that female restaurant servers received larger tips when they touched patrons, and that people were more likely to sign a petition when the petitioner touched them during their interaction (Andersen, 1999).
I think Touch is something that is also perceived in different ways generationally, but it might also be a situation with older men specifically (Which kinda creeps me out if so). But I think touch can be perceived differently by generations. Older generations might have an easier time with touch but younger generations might have been subconsciously trained to stray away from touch due to the pandemic and the different perception of touch and disease.
Our pupils dilate when there is a lack of lighting and contract when light is plentiful (Guerrero & Floyd, 2006). Pain, sexual attraction, general arousal, anxiety/stress, and information processing (thinking) also affect pupil dilation. Researchers measure pupil dilation for a number of reasons.
This is an interesting contrast, the Pain, and anxiety/stress is a part of the sympathetic nervous system while the Parasympathetic nervous system deals in arousal, resting and digestion. I just thought the physiological affects are interesting.
One interesting standing posture involves putting our hands on our hips and is a nonverbal cue that we use subconsciously to make us look bigger and show assertiveness. When the elbows are pointed out, this prevents others from getting past us as easily and is a sign of attempted dominance or a gesture that says we’re ready for action.
This is definitely one that I know as a "Mom pose" which means that you either need to shut up and do as you're told or very quickly find out what it means to mess up when you're talking to Mom
Many of us subconsciously click pens, shake our legs, or engage in other adaptors during classes, meetings, or while waiting as a way to do something with our excess energy. Public speaking students who watch video recordings of their speeches notice nonverbal adaptors that they didn’t know they used. In public speaking situations, people most commonly use self- or object-focused adaptors.
A lot of the time this can be used as a self-soothing behavior as well as an adaptor. It generally is a sign of anxiety and shows that someone is anxious or needing comfort. These can also be a self-stimming behavior as well.

How Buffers Work
A buffer works by having a weak acid and its conjugate base (like acetic acid and acetate) together in solution. When you add a strong acid, the conjugate base "soaks up" the extra H⁺ ions, turning into the weak acid. When you add a strong base, the weak acid donates H⁺ to neutralize the base, turning into the conjugate base. This keeps the pH from changing much, even when you add acid or base. So, buffers resist pH changes by using this pair to neutralize added acids or bases.
amphiprotic
one that can both donate and accept a proton (H⁺), allowing it to act as either an acid or a base according to the Brønsted-Lowry theory.

definition of rights. (as a general idea of what rights mean as a whole for everyone) and more information on what it means to the Americans
Liberty to Americans is more than just a word or symbol. We are fiercely protective of our liberties, also called freedoms or rights.
liberty is not just a word or a symbol to the people; it is a sign of their rights and freedom as a whole community of individuals'.
Liberty is arguably the most cherished American value. It features prominently in our Declaration of Independence (“Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”), our Constitution (“the Blessings of Liberty”), our Pledge of Allegiance (“liberty and justice for all”), and our National Anthem (“land of the free”).
this is the definition of liberty and more information about its importance.

Stage theories or discontinuous development assume that developmental change often occurs in distinct stages that are qualitatively different from each other, and in a set, universal sequence.
Seems difficult to categorize things in specific, separate stages that are also universal? But it also makes sense in a way because there has to be some way to categorize these advancements and changes in development
We change across three general domains/dimensions; physical, cognitive, and social and emotional.
It is important to understand how each of these both work together but also affects the others. Additionally, the nature and nurture aspect of development can also affect each of these dimensions.

Well-structured problems (like the story-problems you might often encounter in text books) are often set in an artificial context while the ill-structured problems one faces in every day life are often set in a very specific context (your life). Is it possible for multiple people to observe the same situation and perceive different problems associated with it? How does context and perception influence how one might identify a problem, its solution, or its importance?
I think that depending on the goal a person chooses to get from a situation determines how they perceive an issue and a solution. Many aspects shift a person's mind to find a solution, depending on what caters to them. For example, what classes to take may be conflicting when there are so many to choose from, but people solve this by choosing the classes that go alongside their major or, depending on graduation needs, as it caters to their goals. So people use problem solving skills in order to choose which courses fit best for them.
Can you think of an example where the imprecise or incorrect use of vocabulary caused needless confusion in real life? Describe the example and discuss how the confusion could have been avoided.
With English being my second language, I tend to often be imprecise when trying to get my point across, as I myself get confused with what I'm saying sometimes. For example, when I'm trynna narrate what happened in my day to a friend, I tend to mix up a lot, especially when I say he/she. I mistakenly interchange them when narrating, so it becomes confusing to my friends to understand, but I try my best not to get them mixed up.
Can you give an example from your previous classes where an instructor has used an anthropomorphism to describe a nonhuman thing? What were/are the trade-offs of the description (i.e. why did the description work and what were its limitations)?
My AP Bio teacher would constantly say that the Kinesin Motor Protein "walked" in order to relate a movement done in everyday life to that of the delivery protein. This worked because it put a clear image as to how it moves; however, walking tends to be at fast/medium speed, so although it illustrates how it moves, it doesn't demonstrate the speed as Kinesin moves slower than a human.
How do you interpret the term "mental model" and why do you think that it is important for learning?

The direction of revolution is illustrated by a symbolically visible image and the visionary leader’s symbolic behavior.
The revolution is guided by clear symbols and by the leader showing that vision through their actions.
Revolution is begun with symbolic disruption of the old or traditional system through top-down efforts to create chaos within the organization.
Revolution starts when leaders intentionally shake up or disrupt the old way of doing things, creating some chaos in the organization to break away from tradition.
Even though there is resistance, never give up; squeeze the resistance between outside-in (i.e., customer or society-led) pressure in combination with top-down inside instruction.
Even if people resist change, don’t give up. Use pressure from the outside (like what customers or society want) together with pressure from the inside (leaders giving clear direction) to push through.
Principle 1: The visionary leader must do on-site observation leading to personal perception of changes in societal values from an outsider’s point of view.
A good leader should actually go out and see things for themselves. By doing this, they can notice how people’s values and priorities are changing, and understand it like an outsider would — with fresh eyes.

speak faster than others, which is fine, but we can all alter our rate of speaking with practice. If you find that you are a naturally fast speaker, make sure that you do not “speed talk” through your speech when practicing it.
When I presented in the past, I sound robotic and almost like I am rapping. I speak very quickly and it can be bad when I am trying to give messages to others. This is a natural thing for mw to do, as I can never really talk slow.
Rate Rate of
I've always struggled with the rate of my speeches, I stumble over slowly, or I rush through, and I have trouble finding a good middle because I generally use the KWO method.
Content and delivery are spontaneous, which can make the speech more engaging (if a speaker’s anxiety is under control).
I would like to deliver my speeches in a more spontaneous way, but like it says, if the anxiety is under control. Why I give speeches I tend to sound very robotic and weird. If I get my anxiety down, it would be much better.
Strengths of Extemporaneous Delivery Speech content and delivery appear more spontaneous and natural, making it more conversational, since the speaker is using a keyword/key-phrase outline. Speakers can include quotes or complex information on their speaking outline for easy reference. Speakers can adapt information and delivery to specific audiences, occasions, and audience reactions, since they are not confined to the content of a manuscript or what they memorized.
this is my favorite form of speeches to give, I like giving these because I can adapt it, as well as how I use KWO (key word outlines) for most of my essays as well.
pressure to get more energy to the brain, organs, and muscles in order to respond to the threat. We can be thankful for this evolutionary advantage, but our physiology hasn’t caught up with our new ways of life. Our body doesn’t distinguish between the causes of stressful situations, so facing down an audience releases the same hormones as facing down a wild beast.
When I present in front of anybody, I get very hot and nervous. My body can't tell the difference between presenting and being chased by something big and scary. Its weird how adrenaline works, and how our bodies sometimes can't pick out the difference between a presentation and being chased.
We can, however, engage in physical relaxation exercises to counteract the general physical signs of anxiety caused by cortisol and adrenaline release, which include increased heart rate, trembling, flushing, high blood pressure, and speech disfluency.
When cortisol and adrenaline are released within our bodies, it's a fear response, which is from the instincts we have from a long long time ago. this is from the autonomic and somatic, or sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Adrenaline is also knows as norepinephrine, which is similarly built to epinephrine.
Speaking anxiety often leads people to view public speaking negatively. They are more likely to judge a speech they gave negatively, even if it was good. They’re also likely to set up negative self-fulfilling prophecies that will hinder their performance in future speeches. To effectively use positive visualization, it’s best to engage first in some relaxation exercises such as deep breathing or stretching, which we will discuss more later, and then play through vivid images in your mind of giving a successful speech.
“Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” ― Louise L. Hay, You Can Heal Your Life
ognitive reactions to public speaking anxiety often include intrusive thoughts that can increase anxiety: “People are judging me,” “I’m not going to do well,” and “I’m going to forget what to say.” These thoughts are reactions to the physiological changes in the body but also bring in the social/public aspect of public speaking in which speakers fear being negatively judged or evaluated because of their anxiety. The physiological and cognitive responses to anxiety lead to behavioral changes. All these thoughts may lead someone to stop their speech and return to their seat or leave the classroom. Anticipating these reactions can also lead to avoidance behavior where people intentionally avoid situations where they will have to speak in public. Addressing Public Speaking Anxiety
These reactions especially happen when pauses happen, and you expect a response, but none come. Usually this incites a fight/flight response in people.

In SWOT analysis, what are some of the tools you might use to understand the external environment (identify opportunities and threats)?
The two major external analysis tools include PESTEL (political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental, and legal environments) and Industry analysis. Whereas PESTEL is collecting and analyzing informations about the macro-environment as a whole, industry analysis is collecting and analyzing information about the competitors and the competitive environment of the organization.
In SWOT analysis, what are some of the tools you might use to understand the internal environment (identify strengths and weaknesses)?
The two major internal analysis tools include the Value Chain and VRIO (Value, rare, inimitable, and organization. Whereas the value chain is used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the parts of the organization, VRIO is used to figure out which of these strengths can render a stronger competitive advantage to the organization.
What do you learn from a SWOT analysis?

What is the difference between business strategy and corporate strategy?
Corporate strategy emphasizes on what type of business or businesses to compete in while business strategy emphasizes on how to compete in a particular business.
What is the difference between strategy formulation and strategy implementation?
Strategy formulation is the coordination of techniques chosen by the organization to achieve its mission and vision. Strategy implementation is the actions taken to achieve the organization's goals and objectives as evidenced in its mission and vision statement.
In Figure 7.2.17.2.1\PageIndex{1} from the Library Congress, school children are deemed savages and Uncle Sam is teaching the class. It portrays different places such as Cuba, Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, etc. as childlike and unruly. This picture is used to show how these places need the care and guidance of the United States through direct policy and governance. Specifically, these places became a part of U.S. territory in 1898 after the Spanish-American War, and as the U.S. exercised dominance through narratives of saviorism, or the idea that these places need the U.S. to “save” them from their uncivilized and unfit-to-rule selves. The authors of The Forbidden Book: The Philippine-American War in Political Cartoons (2014) gathered some of these images as a look at U.S. imperialism, or rule that extends over an empire and dictates matters of economic, political, social, cultural rules of another country. Hawai'i is included in this and actually became a state but many are unaware that the U.S. imprisoned Queen Liliʻuokalani of Hawaiʻi in her home and forcefully took over Hawaiʻi so that’s how it became a state. Many sovereignty activists are legally battling the mainstream depiction of Hawaiʻi annexation narratives that exclude the violent takeover of their lands and are imprisoned. Scholar Noenoe Silva discusses how the Queen of Hawaiʻi was compared to Black Americans and deemed unfit the rule. The U.S. created caricatures of her that likened her to racist Black caricatures. These images of imperialism gathered in The Forbidden Book shows the long history of "othering" and conquest that links Black, Indigenous, and people of color histories and realities and help to unmask hidden truths about race, U.S. imperialism, and white supremacy. Scholar, activist, Chicana feminist Elizabeth Martinez explicitly defines white supremacy as a system that promotes privilege and power of whiteness for white people through institutional entities (see: What is White Supremacy by Elizabeth ‘Betita’ Martinez). White supremacy is rooted in African enslavement, Native American removal and genocide, imperialism and war in Asia, and land dispossession of Mexico. These linkages to various non-European groups in these historical ways is not uncommon knowledge amongst Ethnic Studies scholars. Martinez distinguishes white supremacy from the term "racism," because white supremacy points out how racism is systemic and not only "as a problem of personal prejudices and individual acts of discrimination." White supremacy, therefore, points out a power relationship rooted in exploitation and maintaining the wealth, power and privilege of a few. Omi and Winant bring up the idea that non-whites can also be racist, and Lipsitz points out that non-whites can invest in whiteness as well. However, it is important to point out that a lot of scholarship in Ethnic Studies doesn’t always use the words white supremacy. For example, they might talk about white elitism, white as dominant, etc. Even if scholarship does not explicitly name white supremacy as that, everything that helps to perpetuate the maintenance of white dominance is a part of the system of white supremacy. Part of this stems from how the concept of whiteness was created in order to distinguish European colonists from Native Americans and people of color, in particular to distinguish itself as superior. Therefore, talking about whiteness has been a way to explain that the construction of whiteness is constantly created and re-created in order to try to maintain superiority. Further, whiteness operates within a system and also works representationally.
In this passage, it talks about how U.S. history and old political cartoons showed places like Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Hawai‘i as childlike and needing the U.S. to take care of them. It also explains, using writers like Martinez, Omi, Winant, and Lipsitz, that whiteness is not natural but something that society keeps creating in order to hold on to power and privilege.
Whiteness is something that was created by juxtaposing Europeans with Native peoples and other non-Europeans. Michael Omi and Howard Winant (2014) define racial formation as the process in which racial identity is created and experienced (p. 109). Non-Europeans were "othered" in order to maintain a superiority of whiteness. Since encountering Native peoples in the 15th and 16th centuries in what is now the United States, white settlers used to judge Native peoples’ appearances as backwards with "dark devil skin," even as sexually loose and therefore immoral. Relatedly, white settlers would see Africans as dark and therefore opposite of them, having protruding lips and often created caricatures with images of dark people with huge lips. In both instances, white settlers saw these peoples as “heathen” and “uncivilized” and therefore used this to justify why they needed to conquer Native lands and enslave Black people, as both were seen as unfit to take care of themselves. This idea of "unfit to take care of themselves" was promoted through an infantilization of nonwhites meaning they were described as childlike and therefore unable to take care of themselves (see Takaki, 2008 or Zinn, 2009, or others for more information about these initial racializations). The sidebar below shows an example of infantilization that was extended to relate to other people and serve as justification for conquest and rule, just like it had been used against Native Americans and Black Americans. Something identified as racial, whether having direct association to a racial group, whether true or not or even something like having a motive to designate something racially, is what Omi and Winant call racial projects. In defining racism, they state that racial projects can be defined as racist if “it creates or reproduces structures of domination based on racial signification and identities” (Omi and Winant, 2014, p. 128). In this way, the combination of racial association or label with “structures of domination” can mean that racism requires a notion of superiority tied to a particular group.
Whiteness was created by society meaning that it was something that was forced to be a belief. Native peoples and Africans using stereotypes and claims that they were “uncivilized” or “childlike” to give them a reason to steal their land and slavery.
White supremacy has been maintained by continual adaptation to localized and generational contexts but the underlying basis is white, middle class (and beyond) male, Christian heteropatriarchy. Whiteness is not a “natural” category of identity, it is created and is maintained by a belief in its superiority. When whiteness is used to uphold power, it is white supremacy. The power of whiteness lies in its ability to be largely invisible and therefore functions as the standard of humanity. When teaching Ethnic Studies students, I make it a priority to help them process some of their racialized experiences especially in relation to their positionality, meaning where they are socially located for example in terms of race, class, gender, etc. In one class, I had a white female student say that she couldn’t think of instances where race was a salient feature in situations. I hear this a lot from white students and my response is typically, “OK. So then, that is where you start! Why is it that you haven’t had to think about your race? Can you think of situations where others have experienced something where someone made an issue of their race but not of yours? Or where someone made an issue of their race, and it made you think something about being white?” This type of interaction between my students and I help to prove the point about whiteness as invisible, normalized, and the standard but it also helps them see that they were also taught to perpetuate whiteness in these ways. /*<![CDATA[*/#mt-toc-container {display: none !important;}/*]]>*//*<![CDATA[*/ $(function() { if(!window['autoDefinitionList']){ window['autoDefinitionList'] = true; $('dl').find('dt').on('click', function() { $(this).next().toggle('350'); }); } });/*]]>*/ /*<![CDATA[*/window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { $('iframe').on('load', function () { $(this).iFrameResize({ warningTimeout: 0, scrolling: 'omit' }); }) })/*]]>*/ /*<![CDATA[*/ var front = "auto"; if(front=="auto"){ front = "7.1: Introduction"; if(front.includes(":")){ front = front.split(":")[0]; if(front.includes(".")){ front = front.split("."); front = front.map((int)=>int.includes("0")?parseInt(int,10):int).join("."); } front+="."; } else { front = ""; } } front = front.replace(/_/g," "); MathJaxConfig = { TeX: { equationNumbers: { autoNumber: "all", formatNumber: function (n) { if(false){ return front + (Number(n)+false); } else{return front + n; } } }, macros: { PageIndex: ["{"+front+" #1}",1], test: ["{"+front+" #1}",1] }, Macros: { PageIndex: ["{"+front+" #1}",1], test: ["{"+front+" #1}",1] }, SVG: { linebreaks: { automatic: true } } } }; MathJax.Hub.Config(MathJaxConfig); MathJax.Hub.Register.StartupHook("End", ()=>{if(activateBeeLine)activateBeeLine()}); /*]]>*/
White supremacy never stopped, it changed to keep its power for example, “white, middle class (and beyond) male, Christian heteropatriarchy. “ That was created by society, it was never something that people are born knowing. The only reason why whiteness stays powerful is that people assume that being white feels “normal.” Showing how white people don’t often see race in their lives helps students realize their privileges and how whiteness works. Therefore, whiteness is something that is hidden.
Paulo Freire (1970) describes dehumanization as when people are considered less-than-human and that their status as humans is different than what it should be.
What is dehumanization?
Paulo Freire (1970) describes dehumanization as when people are considered less-than-human and that their status as humans is different than what it should be. Being humanized means they should have the ability to pursue their hopes and dreams, some of the very things that make them so human (p. 44). Humanization is when we actively see the humanity in others and therefore treat people like they are worthy beings and therefore that their lives matter. One of the biggest reasons that Ethnic Studies became a field of study is because historically the European settlers that colonized the Americas and developed the structures of this nation by dehumanizing Native Americans, Africans, and other non-Europeans. Not only do many of these structures still exist today but in what ultimately became white supremacy were systems, beliefs, languages, laws, practices, and more that continually work to maintain a dominance of an elite class. In this chapter, whiteness is the construction of identity that enables privilege and power based on skin color and white supremacy is the system in which whiteness is perpetuated and maintained even through things like policies.
In this first paragraph, it mentions what dehumanization and humanization are. In this paragraph, it also mentions how ethnic studies was a big field of study because of the European settlers who had taken the Americas from the Native Americans and dehumanized them and other non-Europeans. This also created white supremacy that still exists in this world today by keeping the dominance of elite classes.
By 1700, 50,000 people were being enslaved each year, and scholars estimate that, in total, 12 million African people were captured and trafficked to the western hemisphere
The numbers show the massive scale of the transatlantic slave trade. It was a global economic system that reshaped populations and economies on three continents. This fact is significant for understanding how modern racial inequalities were formed. By recognizing the scope it helps explain the enduring cultural as well as political consequences of slavery. The current discussion about repartions and systemic racism directly relate to the impact of forced migration and historical scale.
Before any contact with colonial outsiders, multiple large empires and kingdoms were created with systems of trade, taxation, and political representation.
This highlights the economic and political complexity of African societies before the colonization of the European's. It proves that the stereotypes that depict pre-colonial Africa as lacking organization wrong. The mention of trade and taxation shows that African civilizations managed recources on a high level. This is important because in reframes Africa as a center of innovation, rather than a victim of later colonization. This idea ties to the currect efforts to include African history in global curriculums, countering Eurocentric narratives and it stresses Africa's foundational role in world history .
To maintain this on a large scale, a racialized ideology of dehumanization and exploitation was created, which has grown and evolved over time to reproduce inequity and injustice in different forms.
The highlights how racism was created to justify slavery and how those beliefs persisted beyond abolition. Its puts an emphasis on how racial hierarchies aren't natural but socially engineered for political gain. By understaning this it helps explain why racial disparities continued after legal changes. It also speculates questions about how societies and dismantle ideologies that were foundational. This relates to the modern movements against systemic racism, which adreses the long-lasting sturctures that were build during the period of chattel slavery
One of the largest and most powerful empires was the Kingdom of Aksum, which operated for nearly a thousand years in the areas now claimed by Eritrea and Ethiopia.
Akum's endurance underscores the stability and influence of African empires. A thousand years of continuous goverenace urged complex infrastructures, diplomacy, as well as trade. It also points out that African states were not isolated. Aksum was a popular trading hub that was linked to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean routes. This passage reminds us that African civilization were essential in early global commerce. Today, we can find Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage and independence from European colonization being traced to the legacy of states like Aksum.

American Indian students and community leaders including Indian activists from the American Indian Movement (AIM), United Native Americans (UNA) and the National Indian Youth Council (NIYC) as well as other organizations influenced the national political climate by providing information to the media that the general public did not know, which in turn pressured a response from the federal government and local colleges and universities.
This explains how Native student activists and organizations used media to spread awareness, forcing the government and universities to respond.This is significant because it shows the power of media and activism in amplifying Native voices and challenging injustice. It tells us that Native communities contributed not only culturally but also politically by shaping national conversations about treaties, rights, and representation. I agree that activism paired with media exposure can be a powerful tool for change. It makes me ask how today’s Native activists use digital platforms like social media to continue this work.This connects to how modern news coverage and social media can pressure leaders to act quickly on issues, just like student activism in the past used media to create change.
American Indians had long been the subject of study in disciplines like sociology, history, art and anthropology, but these disciplines only viewed Native people from an "outsider" perspective, treating us as subjects of study, often reinforcing stereotypes.
This explains how Native peoples were studied by outsiders in ways that reinforced stereotypes instead of representing them authentically. This passage is significant because it critiques how traditional academic disciplines misrepresented Native peoples and stripped them of their own voices. Like the way African civilizations were misrepresented in colonial accounts, Native history was told through biased, outsider perspectives. I agree fully that representation matters, and when Native voices are missing, stereotypes dominate. My question is: how can current scholars ensure Indigenous perspectives are authentically included rather than tokenized? This connects to how media today often portrays Indigenous and minority groups through stereotypes, showing the ongoing need for authentic voices in telling their own stories.
American Indian Studies (AIS) or Native American Studies (NAS) is an academic discipline that formally began in the late 1960’s when Native American student activists coordinated with Asian American, Chicana/o/x, Puerto Rican and Black students to demand change within higher education.
The passage describes how activists during the 1960s started AIS/NAS to support ethnic student groups. Because it reveals that Native contributions of great importance to higher education emerged by activism as well as collaboration alongside other marginalized groups, this is important. African civilizations kept their knowledge systems, which reminds us of it. Indigenous students tried to safeguard their past also their views in school. I agree this collective action is important, also I wonder about how current student movements compare in impact. For education reform, grassroots activism is very often the starting point. This point is highlighted. This connects up to the Civil Rights Movement that we studied , in which different racial groups united so as to represent themselves plus be equal inside institutions.
A Land Acknowledgement Statement is a critical step towards working with local Native communities to secure meaningful partnership and inclusion in the stewardship and protection of their cultural resources and homelands.
This passage explains that Land Acknowledgements recognize Native sovereignty, and relationships of local tribes are built. Colleges and communities are pushed toward recognition that Native people are not just historical. These Native people are present-day nations too as possessing rights as well as authority. It tells to us that Natives do contribute through culturally preserving, by stewarding land, and governing within ways which should guide institutions of today.I agree strongly, as recognition is the first step toward justice, though I wonder how many schools go beyond symbolic statements to real partnerships. This passage highlights acknowledgment requires corresponding action. Current debates about the question of whether institutions should return land or resources to Indigenous groups are connected to this. Institutions should do more than acknowledge only Indigenous groups during ceremonies.
a boost to mental functioning will ultimately hurt us because it encourages us to try to fix our mind with substances any time we feel out of sorts
Coffee is said to be good for students because it stimulates their mind and assists in their studying, unless they experience severe side effects. Some people claim black tea is a better option as it has less side effects, but black tea still has side effects and doesn't provide the same stimulation as coffee. Others feel that any mental stimulation only encourages addiction; however, this argument has no basis because with the same logic, thirst for water would result in addiction. Enjoy coffee in moderation to boost your productivity and make your work more enjoyable.

The greater the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand, the greater the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a price change.
change in quantity demanded is higher than the change in price, bad for revenue
Price inelastic demand means only that the percentage change in quantity is less than the percentage change in price
change in quantity demanded is less than the change in price, raises revenue if price increases
