Read this excerpt from Chapter 7 of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass and answer the questio

n.
They both advised me to run away to the north; that I should find friends there, and that I should be free. I pretended not to be interested in what they said, and treated them as if I did not understand them; for I feared they might be treacherous. White men have been known to encourage slaves to escape, and then, to get the reward, catch them and return them to their masters. … I nevertheless remembered their advice, and from that time I resolved to run away.

Which of the following best describes the cultural context here?


life of abolitionists in the South in 1830s
life of slaves and white people in the South in 1830s
life of educated class in the South in 1830s
life of slaves in South during Civil War

The statement that best describes the cultural context of the excerpt is the one that says that it talks about the life of slaves in South during Civil War.

This is so because the excerpt refers to the vision of a slave from the south regarding the capture of runaway slaves by white people, who encouraged the slaves to escape to then recapture them and collect the reward, in accordance with the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Act.

Briefly describe what Marks says in the beginning of his talk about conflict and compromise. Provide one example that Marks give
Kryger [21]

Marks explains that we have been made to believe that conflict is bad and compromise is good. He describes this as a vision that is too simplistic to be upheld by the nations of the world. Marks says it will be difficult to determine whether conflict is good or bad if we do not understand the people involved in the conflict, the cause and the strategy involved in the conflict.

He said compromise, contrary to general belief, can be harmful if it does not protect the vulnerable and the dis-empowered.

Marks gave an example of a United Nations agency that collaborated with the  federal and local governments, television company, and even a multinational soda company in order to address the problem of poor sanitation in schools in India. This arrangement helped the corporation to promote their brands and products. Marks argued that, the United Nations were creating another problem while trying to solve one by promoting a soda company, knowing fully well that a large consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages increases the risk of obesity.

The mistake governments make, according to Marks, when they collaborate with industries is that they conflate the common good with common ground. They sacrifice the interest of the people on the alter of industrial collaboration.

By saying that governments should struggle or engage in conflicts with corporations, Marks means that the corporations always act to promote their commercial interests while government is saddled with the responsibility of promoting the common good, they should not leave this responsibility while trying to go into relationship with the corporations.

Joseph sees a frail man limping on the corner of his property. Joseph is most likely to help if the costs of a. helping are larg
expeople1 [14]

When Joseph sees a frail man limping around the corner he owns, he will likely help if the costs of helping are small and Joseph will feel better about himself helping.

Helping someone in need corresponds to a form of empathy and altruism, which is based on the moral emotions we feel when we see a person in a situation that we have the ability to help.

According to the theory of social exchange, altruism only exists if the benefits to the helper outweigh the cost, so supported by this theory, the letter b is correct, and Joseph will help the man if the costs of helping are small.
