Capitalism is an economic system in which investments in an ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private  individuals or corporations specially as contrasted to cooperatively state-owned means of wealth. Socialism is a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.

<h2>Why do people say that capitalism works better than socialism?</h2>

Capitalism and socialism have both been put to the test. Socialism never works; capitalism occasionally does. The outcomes are self-evident.

  • China. After the cultural revolution, the communist party seized power in China. They didn't have much financial success with anything. In its place, starvation claimed the lives of millions. Capitalist policies were put into place when Moa Zedong left office, and economic development suddenly skyrocketed.
  • US versus USSR The huge ideological conflict between capitalism and socialism was eventually the cause of the cold war. The sides began on land that was largely level. There is no doubt who won. The USA is currently the world's most powerful country by a wide margin. There is no longer a Soviet Union.
  • Almost all affluent countries, including the UK, Germany, Australia, Japan, Canada, and even the Nordic countries, have capitalist systems. All have different amounts of social expenditure, but this is only sustained by the underlying capitalism.
  • Cuba. Cubans are all equal, yet they are all equally impoverished. Nearly everyone in Cuba has it better than even those who are regarded as impoverished in prosperous countries like the USA.
  • Venezuela. elected a communist administration. They are currently in financial ruin. It would be difficult to locate a socialist administration that has made any effort to better the lives of its citizens. Although I would think there are none at all, perhaps I haven't looked closely enough.

In conclusion, a basic misunderstanding of human nature is the basis of socialism. When everyone actually ends up doing is trying to piggyback off of everyone else's hard work, it makes the false assumption that everyone is willing to labor selflessly for the benefit of the group. Although it is not a flawless system, capitalism at least provides a reward for effort. And when it comes down to it, hard effort is what improves our lives.

<h2>What are the pros and cons of socialism and capitalism?</h2>

Capitalism:

Pros ⇒ It is a method of voluntary trade. It is the best at allocating scarce resources. It has given people the highest quality of life in human history. Property rights, arbitrary assessments, and free will are all protected. It best manages self-interest. It rewards people who make the world a better place by making them rich. Static economic classes are eliminated by capitalism's dynamic character. Of course, there is more.

Cons ⇒ There isn't a spokesperson for free market capitalism. Market manipulation, monopolies, oligopolies, cronyism, fascism, inflation, central banking, fractional reserve banking, and any other financial news-related scheme are all confused with it.

Socialism:

Pro ⇒ Fair distribution of total generated wealth

Cons ⇒ It is oppressive. The loss of private property in the means of production prevents accurate economic calculations. Rare resources are squandered since there aren't genuine prices (actual prices reflect consumer values) (mountains of Soviet concrete). It does not satisfy the insatiable human drive for more (demand). denies possessing oneself. It establishes two static classes, one for workers and the other for politicians. Marx demanded that "undesirables" be removed from society (Irish, Scottish and non-whites).

nasty-shy [4]

Plessy was a citizen who claimed to be seventh eights Caucasian and only one eighth Black. He was imprisoned and trial in a criminal court after an incident that took place while in New Orleans, in 1896, when he tried to board a car designated for hite people. He was denied a seat in the car for white people and urged to take a seat in the car for black people. As Plessy refused on the basis of his predominantly Caucasian race, the train staff arrested him, and then he was put in the parish jail. He was charged with criminal counts, but Plessy requested his case to be presented to the Supreme Court for he deemed there had been violations of the Thirteen and Fourteenth Amendments (abolition of slavery and equal treatment).

The Supreme Court's opinion stated that the treatment based on "equal but separated" did not conflict with the Thirteenth Amendment, for this amendment only protected citizens from being enslaved or forced to involuntary servitude, and no conflict was found with the Fourteenth Amendment since it enforced equality, but it did not specify under which terms. Therefore, the decision of the Supreme Court supported the doctrine "equal but separate" and segregation as well.

netineya [11]

The districts, which were redrawn as the results of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s where African Americans would elect Black members of Congress, are called majority-minority districts​.

<h3>What is the purpose of creating majority-minority districts​?</h3>

The purpose of creating majority-minority congressional districts is to prevent the dilution of the minorities’ voting strength. Majority minority districts are designed to make it easier for minority citizens to elect minority representatives, especially in a state which are of unequal size.

Thus, option C is true, as these states where African American can elect their black members are called as majority-minority districts​.
