Full Question:

Read this excerpt from The Land.

"I hate folks thinking of me as white and you colored," he went on. "Wish folks thought of us as the same."

"Which the same?" I questioned. "White or colored?"

"Don't matter to me," said Robert without hesitation, "long as we were the same."

"I figure it'd matter you had to live colored awhile."

Robert was silent to that, then reluctantly agreed. "Maybe so . . . but I'll tell you something, Paul. You don't feel no different to me than Hammond or George. I hate folks saying that word 'half' brother. How can you be 'half' of a brother? Either you're brothers or you're not."

"Well," I decided, "that's just the way things are."

In this excerpt, which character does the author use the most to summarize and develop the theme that inequality is destructive?

Answer:

Robert

Explanation:

In the excerpt, The writer indirectly tried to depict the experience that Robert had his whole life as a colored person.

The phrase:

<em> "Wish folks thought of us as the same." </em>

Indicates that Robert has been treated differently his whole life based on the color of his skin alone. Regardless of any other quality that he might possess, many people fail to see him pass the color of his skin and treat him unequally.

I believe , this is the writer's way of using Robert to indicates that inequality could be destructive even though people may not enforce it directly.

In terms of Douglas McGregor's theory of motivation, how would you best describe Shandra's management style?

Artemon [7]

Theory X is referred from McGregor's theory of motivation. Through this theory we can well describe the concept of Shandra's management style which explains the method of employees developing their self-interest beyond the limit of the highest level of capability.

Explanation:

The basic task of employees is clearly explained in all company policies. The policies describe the duty and responsibilities of each employee to contribute their valid services for paying compensation. But the employees need to fully realize their full potentiality and try to develop their duty consciousness by sharpening their working skills.

The working style of Shandra's propagates the best idea of utilizing the skills with utmost intelligence by transforming the act of employees from laziness to active operation of work. It is also well mentioned in the HR policies relating to a general system of organizational behavior.

Harlen E. Ford and Billy Mills were two hunters who claimed to have seen Bigfoot at one time, and also to have later run across

ExtremeBDS [4]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can comment on the following.

The kind of testimony their claim represents is a general statement without any evidence to prove it. It is not a claim of fact because it does not present any evidence. It is neither a claim of policy. We could say that it could be a claim of value, but it doesn't say if this is good or bad.

So it is important to include some type of evidence to back our affirmations. Without the proper evidence, then it is their opinions against ours.

So it is hard to believe that hunters Harlen E. Ford and Billy Mills have seen Bigfoot at one time if they don't provide proper evidence.
