One reason that some african americans were patriots was because a few of the high people during that time were racist. (This does not just go to african americans. White people were also patriots)
One reason that some african americans were loyalists was because some of the people that were in high power were actually african americans. These high powered african americans were not interfered with, due to there were many other people that bad guys wanted to turn into patriots. (DURING THIS TIME, very few african americans were in high power)
I hope that this helped! Please! Please! Please do not feel offended! I was only answering your question! And I caps locked "during this time" because this racist situation was only a big problem during the american revolution.
Answer:
This is an example of embodied cognition.
Explanation:
Embodied cognition refers to the idea that the body can influence cognition, that is, the mental processes of thinking, knowing, judging, etc. According to your mother, the other person's judgment of you can be influenced by the bodily senses of taste and smell, for instance. A hot drink and the smell of cookies will certainly cause the person's body to feel good, comfortable. That will, in its turn, influence the person's mind, making him feel welcomed, happy. Consequently, that could influence that person's judgment of you.
I would say religious and racial discrimination.
