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:

Fixation

a n a l    

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud was the founder of the psychoanalytic school of therapy which focuses on the unconscious which dictates most of our behavior and also focuses on the events from our childhood and how these events affect our adult behavior.

One of the main concepts of this theory is the concept of fixation, this term refers to the phenomenon that occurs when one person gets "stuck" in a stage of development because there was either a lack of attention during this period or too much attention.

On the other hand, according to the psychosexual stages proposed by Sigmund Freud, the a n a l  stage takes place from 18 months of age to three years of age and it's during this period where "potty training" starts. When this training gets too rigid, it can cause an a n a l fixation.

In this example, Jordyn will be 2 in a few weeks and her mother has a strict toilet training procedures in which Jordyn is immediately punished when she has an "accident". We can see that <u>Jordyn is in the a n a l stage of development (because of her age) and her potty training is too rigid</u>, therefore, she might end up having a fixation at the a n a l stage of psychosexual development.
