Answer:

Once the race is understood as a social construct, several policies and social issues will be created to regulate the members of that race, and traditionally these policies create segregation and prejudice.

Explanation:

I think that two good examples to illustrate this point is the Jim Crow system in the Southern of the USA, and the eugenics policies executed by the Nazis. Both were influenced by the racial racism that emerged in the late 18th century but became strong in the 19th century. When we analyze their practices, it's clear the idea of segregation, to create a strong race, to avoid the racial mixture, but above all else, to control races considered degenerated or dangerous, avoiding their spread. This happened with black people on the US (Jim Crow system), and with the Jews and several other social/racial minorities in Europe under the shadow of the Nazis.

The greatest concentration of people live in Asia. What conclusion about religion might you draw from this additional fact?

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

More people practice Sikhism, Buddhism, and Hinduism than you would think by looking at a map of world religions.

Explanation:

If we look at the map that presents regions that practice a certain religion, we will only see countries and areas that consist of people who majorly practice a certain religion. These maps do not show the concentration of the population in the countries and do not show us the number of believers.

We might believe there is a much larger Christian population because some very large countries such as Russia, Canada, and the US are all majorly Christian.

However, these countries are not as densely populated as some of the Asian countries, such as India, China, and Japan.

Because of the population density, there are actually many more people who practice major religions of Asia, including Sikhism, Buddhism, and Hinduism than we think. Map of religions won’t show us the number of believers, but if we look at the concentration of people and population instead of geographical area, we will get the true numbers of believers.

Umnica [9.8K]

The answer to this question is the SENATORIAL COURTESY. This is the action done by the Deputy General as he seeks the recommendations of the senators in the district court. By definition, the senatorial courtesy is referred to as somewhat an informal support or recommendation for a senate colleague since this is unwritten and unofficial.
