mamaluj [8]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

During the 1700s and 1800s, colonists took part in the American Slave Trade, where they drove thousands of Africans out of their home countries and forced them to work for the Americans. Due to the color of the Africans' skin, colonists thought that they were inferior to Americans/whites and that colonists could then work Africans without any pay.

This kind of work not only gave colonists a sense of freedom because they no longer had to endure the backbreaking work, but it also relieved them of financial burden since they didn't have to pay their slaves.

Look for an answer choice that matches the above description. Only A makes sense.

B is wrong because people were not required to have slaves. They could if they wanted to.

C is wrong because it was not illegal to pay slaves; colonists just chose not to because that would benefit them more.

D is wrong because it was not illegal for others to do work; in fact, many colonists did work on their own farms before, during, and after the Slave Trade.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a)

Explanation:

The psychoanalytic theory hols that there are inner forces that drives behavior. The mind is divided into  conscious mind and the unconscious mind.

Explain what followership means
pshichka [43]
In simple definition followership means:

1. the ability or willingness to follow a leader.
2. a group of followers or supporters; following.


Followership is the actions of someone in a subordinate role. It can also be considered as a specific set of skills that complement leadership, a role within a hierarchical organization, a social construct that is integral to the leadership process, or the behaviors engaged in while interacting with leaders in an effort to meet organizational objectives.[1] As such, followership is best defined as an intentional practice on the part of the subordinate to enhance the synergetic interchange between the follower and the leader.

In organizations, “leadership is not just done by the leader, and followership is not just done by followers.” [2] This perspective suggests that leadership and followership do not operate on one continuum, with one decreasing while the other increases. Rather, each dimension exists as a discrete dimension, albeit with some shared competencies.[3]

The study of followership is an emerging area within the leadership field that helps explain outcomes. Specifically, followers play important individual, relational, and collective roles in organizational failures and successes.[4][5][6] “If leaders are to be credited with setting the vision for the department or organization and inspiring followers to action, then followers need to be credited with the work that is required to make the vision a reality.”[7]

The term follower can be used as a personality type, as a position in a hierarchy, as a role, or as a set of traits and behaviors. Studies of followership have produced various theories including trait, behavioral attributes, role, and constructionist theories in addition to exploring myths or misunderstandings about followership.
