Why is race considered a "social construct "?

1 answer:

3 0

A social construct is a category or thing that was basically created by society. For example, a virgin girl or a non-virgin girl.

Race is a social construct because there are no "unique "black genes" or unique "white genes." Society created race and ethnicity. The only different thing is color of skin and physical features.

Just as there isn't anything unique to a virgin or non-virgin girl, except for their "virginities."

Good luck and I hope I helped this to make sense! :)

What were the consequences of the European colonization of eastern North America?

Nikolay [14]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The Europeans came into conflicts with native peoples because of different beliefs about land use.

The land of Natives was also taken and many of them had no place to live so they were forced onto reservations.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

The Europeans arrived in North America and with their arrival; they brought changes to practically every part of its people and land.

Trade, hunting, wars, ideas were brought by the European settlers to the continent which shaped the continent to what it is now.

The natives didn’t believe in the idea of owning land privately. Instead, they believed that land as a resource to be used commonly for the benefit of both parties.

But, the colonizers made their land private by building fences around their property and clashing with the natives.

The lands where natives used to hunt and take natural resources were now a private property of the colonizers.

Diferença entre migrantes, imigrantes e emigrantes

sattari [20]

Answer: migrantes estão no caminho e não se sabe do estatus deles {exilados, fugitivos etc etc} e nem sempre sabemos o objetivo, ponto final ou destino deles. Imigrantes são pessoas que acabaram de chegar no país que lhes recebeu (expressao "imigrantes" descreve a perspectiva dos habitantes do pais que lhes recebeu). Emigrantes sao aqueles que abandonam o país (expressao "emigrantes" descreve a perspectiva do habitantes do país de origem).

Explanation: As três palavras tem significado diferente e sempre requerem compreensao. Migrante está no caminho, imigrantes está chegando ou já chegou, emigrante está abandonando o pais de origem.
