Hough Ashoka emerged victorious at the end of war seizing the territory of Kalinga, the sight of the battlefield made his heart break with shame, guilt and disgust. It is said that the battle was so furious that the waters of River Daya turned red with the blood of the slain soldiers and civilians. The sight of numerous corpses lying strewn across the battlefield made his heart wrench. He felt sick inside. The battle ground looked like a graveyard with bodies of not just soldiers but men, women and children. He saw young children crying over the bodies of their dead parents, women crying over the bodies of their dead husbands, mothers crying over the loss of a child. This made him heartbroken and he made a pledge to never ever fight a battle again. To seek solace, he converted to Buddhism.

Which child living in a low-SES, predominantly African-American neighborhood is the most likely to have self-esteem problems? Gr
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Patti, a European-American child.

Explanation:

Self-esteem refers to the value that we give to ourselves, according to our understanding of how others see us and how we compare to them. Self-esteem is highly dependent on our social environment, and one of the biggest influences on self-esteem comes from our sense of belonging to a group. If we feel that we fit right in, our self-esteem tends to be higher than if we feel as outsiders.

According to researcher Gray-Little, African-American children usually have higher self-esteem than children from other ethnic groups, possibly because of having larger families and a much more defined sense of ethnic pride. Similarly so, children who live in places where they feel their socioeconomic status (SES) and their ethnic groups are well-represented are more likely to feel like they fit in and thus have higher self-esteem. In our example, Tamara and Sherman are both African-American children in a predominantly African-American neighborhood, so they should feel like they belong there. Perry comes from a low-SES family, so living in a low-SES neighborhood should give it a sense of belonging as well. This leaves us <u>Patti</u><u>, the European-American girl, who is the most likely to have self-esteem problems</u>, given that in she will be a minority in her neighborhood and thus she's likely to feel like she doesn't fit in because she doesn't belong there.
