The correct answer is D. The company manufactured napalm

Explanation:

The Dow Chemical Company is a multinational corporation of chemicals that was created in 1897 in the U.S. but nowadays produces chemical and other products such as plastics in multiple countries all around the world. However, this company has been linked to multiple controversies since it was founded, one most important ones occurred during the Vietnam War (1955-1975), in which the north of Vietnam fought against the south and the south was supported by the U.S.

During this war, the Dow Chemical Company became the only provider of napalm, which is a mixture of substances that work as a powerful bomb and a controversial antipersonnel weapon due to its effects not only on soldiers but on civilians. This made Americans and especially anti-war movements attack the company and lead protests against the production of napalm, but the company continued with the production of it until 1969 and the U.S. use this substance during almost all the war. Thus, from the options provided the reason why some Americans attack Dow Chemical was because the company manufactured napalm.

1. Does inherited privilege play a role in our society?
gulaghasi [49]

1. Yes. Unfortunately, the role that this privilege plays in society is often to encourage inequality among citizens and not to allow meritocracy to be exercised efficiently.

2. No. The USA promotes and foresees an unequal treatment among citizens, mainly regarding race, origin, social position and heredity of people, which ends up generating a strong social inequality.

3. The US government protects citizens' rights through laws and guidelines that must be followed across the country. However, often these laws only work in theory and people continue to have their rights unprotected, especially citizens who are members of a social minority.

4. No. When our government was created, there was a strong slave culture in the country, which affirmed that whites and blacks were different and should be treated in different ways, where whites were placed as superiors and deserving of all possible social privilege. Furthermore, at the beginning of our government, women were also considered inferior and lived under a system of domination to which men were not subjected.

5. This did not impact the decision of the creators of our government, since they were all white men and did not suffer from the lack of rights and privileges that women and blacks suffered.
