From the Supreme Court case Plessy V. Ferguson, 1896: It is true that the question of the proportion of colored blood necessary

to constitute a colored person, as distinguished from a white person, is one upon which there is a difference of opinion in the different states; some holding that any visible admixture of black blood stamps the person as belonging to the colored race (State v. Chavers, 5 Jones [N. C.] 1); others, that it depends upon the preponderance of blood ( Gray v. State, 4 Ohio, 354; Monroe v. Collins, 17 Ohio St. 665); and still others, that the predominance of white blood must only be in the proportion of three-fourths (People v. Dean, 14 Mich. 406; Jones v. Com., 80 Va. 544). But these are questions to be determined under the laws of each state, and are not properly put in issue in this case. Under the allegations of his petition, it may undoubtedly become a question of importance whether, under the laws of Louisiana, the petitioner belongs to the white or colored race. What point is made in this document regarding perception of a person's race?
A) It is best to define race in a very stringent way, to avoid confusion.

B) Nobody is in agreement about what race means, but everyone thinks it is important.

C) There is a general consensus that if a person appears black, he is black, and if he appears white, he is white.

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

The excerpt specifically says that what defines a person as being black "is a difference of opinion in the different states." In NC "any visible admixture of black blood" defines a person as a black person. In OH, "it depends upon the preponderance of blood. In Michigan and Virginia, "white blood must only be in the proportion of three-fourths".  This shows that there is not a best way to define race. Also, B is not correct because Michigan and Virginia use the same definition so they are in agreement at least. Option C is not correct because some states do not agree with this.

Answer:

D) Different states have different precedents regarding what defines a white person as opposed to a black person.

According to the article, what is one reason why scientist criticized ocean Ramsey for her actions near a great white shark?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

One reason why other scientists criticized Ocean Ramsey was that they felt she was promoting through social media that it is okay to swim with the shark and it was irresponsible.

Explanation:

A deep sea diver Ocean Ramsey came in extremely close proximity with a great white shark in the Pacific Ocean and was even daring enough to touch the shark in a viral video she posted on her Instagram.

She described the shark which she called Deep Blue as mellow and beautiful and the estimated length is 20 feet and weighing about 6,000 pounds while believed to be pregnant.

According to Michael Dormier, who is the founding director of the Marine Conservation Science Institute was of the <u>opinion that of all the breeds of sharks that were not dangerous, Ocean Blue had to pose and touch the great white shark and also indirectly let people on social media feel that is safe and okay to be in close contact with such a dangerous sea creature.</u>

Discuss the negative effects of unemployment.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Negative Effects of Unemployment

The negative effects far outweigh the positive effects when it comes to the impact unemployment has on society and the individual as well.

Not Enough Money: This is one of the adverse effects on the individual. Everything in the world costs money. If there is no source of income, you're going to have to settle and go without. If an unemployed individual has a family, it's difficult. Sure, there are unemployment benefits, but they aren't going to pay for extra things to do with your family and travel to new places.

Health Issues: This is another individual negative effect, but an important one. Being unemployed can lead to depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and other mental health issues, especially if an individual truly wants a job but can't find employment. Tension can occur, causing stress and strain on the body.

Economic Issues: During unemployment, there is no income, which leads to poverty. The burden of debt will increase, leading to economic problems. When there is unemployment, the state and the federal governments have to step in and pay unemployment benefits. By needing to pay more of these benefits, the government must borrow money to pay the benefits or reduce spending in other areas.

Social Issues: Many crimes are committed by individuals who are unemployed and living in poverty. When unemployment rates increase, crime rates tend to rise. According to the study in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology in 2016, individuals who are unemployed for socially unacceptable reasons and don't wish to seek out job opportunities are more likely to engage in burglary or robbery.
