What is Dr. Forbe’s issue with the U.S using American or America excusably?

History

attashe74 [19]2 years ago

Answer:

Dr. Forbe raises in his essay the fact that the demonym "American" or the name "America" as the name of the nation are restrictive and incorrect, since America as such is actually an entire continent, spanning from Canada to the north to Argentina in the south. Thus, using the name America for the United States of America is in fact a mistake, since it displaces the other nations of the continent from the status of Americans.

The same occurs with the different ethnicities and nationalities that make up these nations, since, for example, a person from Argentina is both Argentine and American, thus restricting the demonym to people from the United States of America is, at least, totally arbitrary.

Answer:

Gandhi used a non-violent policy to fight the British and this influenced Martin Luther King.

Explanation:

Gandhi promoted the struggle for Indian independence against the British peacefully, without promoting any act of violence. This was very inspiring for King, who decided to take the same stand in his fight for civil rights, always claiming that Gandhi was the guide to the protests he promoted. King maintained the non-violent protests, even though he was the victim of several violent acts, as well as his followers.

Define "paranoia." How was the paranoia of the 20s expressed? How was it related to isolationism?
elixir [45]

Paranoia refers to a feeling that can exist in humans and which is heavily influenced by anxiety or by fear. People who suffer from this often feel themselves to be persecuted, or hated and threatened by everyone. These people might also believe in conspiracies, which can result in irrational fear.

During the 1920s, the country experienced a period of paranoia. The trauma of World War I was fresh in people's minds, and many were fearful of ever being threatened in such a way again. This led to a strong fear of the "other." This was expressed in practices such as increased racism (ex. the rise of the Ku Klux Klan) or political intolerance (ex. the Red Scare against communists). This was also expressed through isolationism, as many people believed that by keeping the country free of foreign influence, they would be less threatened by dangerous foreign forces, such as communism.
