Answer:

The "senior moment" comment is known as a micro-aggression.

Explanation:

A micro-aggression refers to a brief interaction between individuals from <em>different backgrounds, ethnicities, age</em>, etc. It is understood as a non-physical aggression and it would <em>tend to be overlooked. </em>

It tends to be a comment which does not feel light-hearted; it tend to <em>hurt the receiving individual </em>and could even not be meant as an aggression by the sender.

In this case, Thomas is 65 years old so he can tend to forget certain things, by saying the <em>"senior moment"</em> comment, his supervisor is providing a micro-aggression to him by pointing out that his forgetfulness is due to his age, which is something Thomas cannot do anything about so he has to <em>brush it away</em> with a simple laugh.

5. What is environmental racism? What is one example of environmental racism? Critical Thinking Questions 1. Do you think that N
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Environmental racism has to do with environmental population of neighborhoods populated by ethnic minority groups and races. Such population include; air pollution, garbage dumps, toxic waste facilities and hazards. An example of environmental racism is the asbestos in used housing and schools located in African American communities.

1) The American culture contributes to environmental racism because of their history with racism and slavery. The environmental policies were made to the disadvantage of minority groups.

2) Food scarcity is still very much a problem and a huge concern especially in poorer countries in Asia, South America and Africa. Increased population in these areas is a concern.

3) A higher population is a burden to resources available to us and therefore people should be concerned. The environment suffers as a result. The rate of pollution increases as human activities cause the destruction of natural protective mechanisms. Such activities include; industrial pollution, deforestation etc

4) Overpopulated countries should control their population growth. Methods such as birth control mechanisms and education would go a long way in helping this. Limiting the growth of an already overpopulated country is beneficial to humans and the environment.
