Answer: c. the racial tension between Mexican Americans and mainstream society.

The zoot suit riots of 1943 were a series of conflicts between European white Americans (particularly those in the military service) and predominantly Mexican youth. The trigger for these was the youth’s preference for “zoot suits.” This type of suits required a lot of fabric to be made, which was seen by the white Americans as unpatriotic, because of the rationing of fabric that was established during the war.

While this specific reason was the main trigger, the riots also showed the underlying racial tensions that were found in American societies, particularly in large cities. The riots also seemed to have been the inspiration for several similar events that year in Philadelphia, Oakland, Chicago, San Diego, Evansville and New York City.

What is the primary difference between normative and positive economics?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Governments use normative economics, and businesses use  positive economics.

Explanation:

Normative economics concentrates on the importance of economic equity, or what the marketplace 'should be' or 'ought to be' whether positive economics is based on experience and cannot be confirmed or disallowed, normative economics is established on worth judgments. An example of positive economics is, an increment in tax rates eventually results in a reduction in total tax wealth. On the other hand, normative economics is, unemployment hurts an economy more than inflation.

To what is FDR referring to when he says that the democracies, by fighting aggression, “are keeping war away from our hemisphere
Roman55 [17]

This quote comes from the now famous Four Freedoms speech, delivered by Roosevelt as the State of the Union address on January 6, 1941. The international context was very negative. Hitler and his Axis allies were winning in Europe. Britain was greatly menaced and the Japanese were gearing up for all-out war in the Pacific and in Asia.

Roosevelt, aware that scientific progress had eliminated the physical advantage of the USA being separated from Europe and Asia by such vast expanses of water had been arming and funding the British for years and had also increased military spending and the Navy in order to keep Japan at bay.

He knew that once Hitler had conquered Europe and Japan had conquered the East, all the populations and resources of these vast reasons would be used to directly attack the USA, which would eventually find itself in numeric inferiority so in order to prevent such a dark future he chose to send weapons, supplies and money to the British.
