IceJOKER [234]

<u>Answer: </u>

Following Germany's unprovoked attack on Belgium in violation of Belgian neutrality, Great Britain declared war on Germany is a TRUE statement.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The treaty that was signed between Great Britain, Germany and a few other nations regarding the neutrality of Belgium in 1839 was breached by Germany in 1914 by invading Belgium through an unprovoked and spontaneous military action.

A college instructor's schedule has her teaching an honors section of psychology. Halfway through the semester, she is told that
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The concept a social psychologist might use is the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Explanation:

A result of the Pygmalion effect, self-fulfilling prophecy explains that we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. If people believe we will succeed, we too begin to believe we will succeed. We then change our behavior, aligning it with the belief, making a self-fulfilling prophecy out of it.

Since the teacher was told she was teaching an honors section of psychology, and she believed it, she taught that class in a way that led it to the results an honors section would indeed present. The teacher was already biased - in a positive way - when she started teaching this class, which led her to see them in a favorable light. Such attitude ended up making the class perform better, as if it were truly an honors section.

What caused the Stonewall Rebellion or riot?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The Stonewall riots (also referred to as the Stonewall uprising or the Stonewall rebellion) were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community against a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood

Explanation:

lot has changed for LGBTQ Americans in the 50 years since June 28, 1969, when an uprising in response to a police raid at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Manhattan’s West Village neighborhood, kicked off a new chapter of grassroots activism. The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down state bans on same-sex marriage; the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy has come and gone; one of the candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination is gay.

But one thing that has changed surprisingly little is the narrative about what exactly happened that night. In half a century, we haven’t gained any new major information about how Stonewall started, and even experts and eyewitnesses remain unsure how exactly things turned violent.

“We have, since 1969, been trading the same few tales about the riots from the same few accounts — trading them for so long that they have transmogrified into simplistic myth,”
