What effect did trade have on the growth of West African Kingdoms

1 answer:

4 0

The slave trade had many effects on Africa. Most of them were, of course, negative, though we can argue that the slave trade was positive for some African states at least in the short term.

One negative about the slave trade was that it tended to increase the amount of war that occurred in West Africa. The reason for this is that European (and American) slave traders did not simply go out into the African countryside and kidnap their own slaves. Instead, they bought slaves from the coastal kingdoms. Those kingdoms generally got slaves to sell through war and through raiding against inland tribes. Because the slave traders wanted more slaves, the coastal kingdoms were encouraged to wage more wars and conduct more raids against their neighbors. In addition, those kingdoms were provided with things like guns in exchange for slaves. This helped those kingdoms have more of a capability of waging war.

In debating the origins of knowledge, Plato and Aristotle disagreed about the relative importance of what?

Andreyy89

Plato and Aristotle disagreed about the relative importance of Nature and Nurture.

Plato introduced the term nativism (Nature) as the idea that our thoughts, ideas and characteristics are inborn. In other words, we are believed to be born with these thoughts, ideas and characteristics, and that they are already in our genes.

On other hand, Aristotle introduced the idea to us of empiricism, or Nurture. He described this as, knowledge is gained through experience (senses). Our thoughts and ways are not because of our genetic make-up, but because of how we were raised and brought up by our parents and overall lifestyle.

Explain the laws of supply and demand from the perspective of the consumer (demand) and the perspective of the producer (supply)

harkovskaia [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The explanation of the laws of supply and demand from the perspective of the consumer (demand) and the perspective of the producer (supply) is the following

In the Capitalists economic system, investors and entrepreneurs took risks when invested their money to create their companies. They let supply and demand established the prices of goods and services. The free market is ideal for them.

For the consumer, the demand is the number of people that ask for a determined product in the market. The more people demand a certain product, the price of this product could be higher if product is not enough.

From the perspective of the producer, if too many people demand the product, the producer can charge more when selling the product to the public. But if consumers are not demanding the product and there is plenty of this product, producers have to reduce the price of the product so people could be interested in purchasing it.

A simple example is winter clothes in summer and summer clothes in winter. Nobody is going to ask for a snow jacket in the summertime, so this product won't be available or is going to be relatively cheap because the weather is hot. On the other hand, during winter, that product would be expensive because a lot of people are going to be interested in purchasing one. And as nobody will ask for short pants, these are going to be cheap.
