While historically, <u>pseudoscientific </u>theories of race were preferred, modern explanations of race mostly focus on <u>cultural elements</u>.

A race is a division of people into social or physical groupings that are typically seen as separate within a particular civilization. The 1500s saw the phrase become widely used to describe a variety of social groupings, particularly those distinguished by deep familial ties.

The phrase first applied to bodily (phenotypical) characteristics in the 17th century, and then to national loyalties. According to contemporary research, race is a social construct, an identity that is determined by socially constructed standards. Race does not have a physical or biological significance that is intrinsic, while being partially based on physical similarities between groups.

How are communism and fascism alike
deff fn [24]

Answer:

They both imposed totalitarian governments and both claimed to rule in the national interests.

They both stemmed from a political, social, and cultural construct that erased traditional ideas regarding good and evil.

Both believed in the destruction of the old world, to build a new international order; each deplored what they saw as the pathetic ennui of bourgeoisie existence; each ideology’s shared purpose was to recruit members of the new utopia.

Both fascism and communism are characterized by state/national supremacy.

Both fascism and communism are opposed to the democratic model.

Both economic and political systems believe in societal wellbeing.

Both fascism and communism totally forbid private ownership and control of resources.

Both fascism and communism make use of propaganda. That is, they disseminate information such as facts, arguments, rumors, incomplete (half) truth, or lies with the aim of influencing public opinion. These political systems are usually deliberate and emphatic on manipulation.  In other words, they go to the extent of withholding some information from the people especially that information that will not benefit the government.

Denial of individual rights is another notable feature that both fascism and communism have in common.

Both fascism and communism have zero tolerance for opposition and criticism. Those who criticize or openly oppose a dictator may face imprisonment or a death sentence. They are usually autocratic and authoritative in nature which does not give any room for the freedom of expression of feelings and public opinions. They do not provide room for any opposing point of view.

They both focus on loyalty to the government rather than the individual.

Both fascism and communism are classless societies as there is no private ownership of property and wealth accumulation.
