Answer:

Here is an example of someone prejudging (prejudice) another. Let's say there is a homeless person who is trying to ask for money to feed their son or daughter tonight. A person may approach the homeless man, and the homeless will say "Excuse me sir, do you have any change to spare." The man may look at the sign that the homeless person to up and it says "Trying to feed my daughter tonight." The man laughs, and he says what the sign says. Then, he says "Yeah right you are trying to feed your daughter." "More like spending money on alcohol or drugs." This is practicing prejudice because you judging someone before even knowing them.

An example of discrimination would be if a woman for example doesn't get the same amount of money as a man does if they work the same job. A woman may get paid less because they are not meant for the job, or they say that women always get paid less. This is discrimination because you are not giving the woman the same treatment as the man if they worked the same hours. It may go to a point were a woman works more than a man, but she still gets paid less.

Prejudice- unfair opinions to a group or a individual

Discrimination- mistreatment to one or a group.

Hope this helps!

Is the act of taking advantage of a weaker nation or person.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Hi! If you are looking for the word whose meaning is defined by this sentence, I would say that the word you need is <em>exploitation</em>.

Explanation:

Let's remember that exploitation is the act of <u>making use of and benefiting from other's resources, it is the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work or abilities.</u> In this case, <em>it is exploitation because this nation or person is vulnerable</em> in some way and allow others to take advantage of their work, abilities, or any other characteristic that can be beneficial. They allow this exploitation probably because they don't have the tools to change their reality or because they don't know how or are under threat, maybe they are uneducated and don't even realize they are being used. <u>To do that to a person or to a nation is called exploitation.</u>

Answer: Maine

Explanation:

The map is not located but the description provided should suffice.

The state labeled D is said to be the most northernmost state of the options. Arizona and Arkansas are both in the South so that rules them out. Idaho is the in Northwest so that rules them out as well leaving Maine which is indeed very Northeastern.

Further evidence that it is Maine is that Maine has a border with Canada and has access to the Atlantic Ocean which satisfies the other descriptions of D.
