Answer:

Anger.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's poem "Madam and the Rent Man" is an exchange between the rent collector and the tenant, Madam who refuses to pay for the services she hadn't received. This is a representation of how things remain unsolved, for the parties involved weren't able to see eye to eye.

With the use of the word "listen", the speaker is trying to get the attention of the other people. Then, she also mentions she'd rather "<em>go to Hades and rot away</em>", than pay, ending with an exclamation mark, obviously signifying the emphasis on the emotional stance of the speaker. This is also a representation of the normal situation of the blacks and the whites in their inability to solve their problems, especially with the whites refusing to listen to the blacks. Hughes uses this poem to show the real life situation, where the person complaining is talking sense, but it doesn't reach the right person for the problems to be solved.

Although psychologists usually refer to stereotypes only in a __________ sense, it is possible for a person to have a __________
slava [35]

Answer:

- negative

- positive

Explanation:

In social psychology, positive stereotypes are those that refer to a complimentary view about a specific social group.

For example, the belief that Asians have better math abilities and African Americans have better athletic abilities.

Because they portray a positive image of a group, positive stereotypes may seem like a kind of compliment, but they can still have a negative effect.

Why do you think societies need laws? what functions do laws provide to societies? what do you think life would be like if there
SVEN [57.7K]
I think societies need laws because if we had no laws people would steal, kill, kidnap, etc.. I think laws kind of put a warning to societies to at least warn someone if they do wrong they'll get punished. I think life would be bad chaos if we had no laws governing our behaviors. I am sorry if this is NOT what you needed. I simply gave my opinion!!!
