Answer:

Material culture

Explanation:

Material culture refers to the physical pieces that make up a culture, in other words, it refers to things that have been created by humans.

By studying the physical objects of a culture we gain a better understanding of the lives of the people who interacted with those objects. Material culture is our way to get insight into the nonmaterial culture (which refers to ideas, values and beliefs of a culture).

The Smithsonian collection contains the first-ever plastic toothbrush, which soon will be nothing more than a pile of crumbs. Other museums have experienced problems with preservation of plastic objects, which are disintegrating over time.

These objects are examples of material culture since <u>they are physical pieces that make up our culture and that were created by humans.</u>

Thus by losing these objects we would be losing the story of our material culture.

Tresset [83]

Explanation:  The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882, and again in 1892.] The Exclusion Acts then passed were limited to ten years’ duration. In May next the latest act will expire by limitation, and Congress will be asked to renew it, because, until now, Chinese exclusion has been regarded in diplomatic circles and elsewhere as the settled policy of the country. Has there been any change in the nature of the evil, or in the sentiments of the people? Certainly not on the Pacific Coast, where the lapse of time has made still more evident the non-assimilative character of the Chinese and their undesirability as citizens.
