History
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:  B) It was one of the most segregated cities in America.

Details:  In point of fact, Birmingham was known by reputation as "the most segregated city in America."  In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that he  had come to Birmingham because injustice existed there, in the same way that Old Testament prophets had left their own towns and villages to go and confront injustice in other towns in their day.

Birmingham also became a central point of focus because of a tragedy that had occurred there.  In September, 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham was bombed in an act of terrorism by Ku Klux Klan members. Four black girls (ages 11-14) were killed, and and fourteen other persons at the church were injured.  The bombing in Birmingham sparked the African American community into strong action in Alabama to push for the rights of black citizens.

¿porque el concepto de internacionalizacion de la economia seria insuficiente para definir la globalizacion?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Es la economía mundial la que pensamos que está globalizada. Queremos decir que el mundo entero se está comportando cada vez más como si fuera parte de un mercado único, con producción interdependiente, consumiendo bienes similares y respondiendo a los mismos impulsos. La globalización se manifiesta en el crecimiento del comercio mundial como proporción de la producción (la relación entre las importaciones mundiales y el producto mundial bruto, GWP, ha crecido de alrededor del 7% en 1938 a alrededor del 10% en 1970 a más del 18% en 1996). Se refleja en la explosión de la inversión extranjera directa (IED): la IED en los países en desarrollo ha aumentado de 2.200 millones de dólares en 1970 a 154.000 millones en 1997. También ha dado lugar a que los mercados de capitales nacionales se hayan integrado cada vez más, hasta el punto de que unos 1,3 billones de dólares por día cruza los mercados de divisas del mundo, de los cuales menos del 2% es directamente atribuible a transacciones comerciales.

Si bien no se pueden medir con la misma facilidad, algunas otras características de la globalización son quizás incluso más interesantes. Una parte cada vez mayor del consumo consiste en bienes que están disponibles en las mismas empresas en casi cualquier parte del mundo. La tecnología que se utiliza para producir estos bienes está cada vez más estandarizada e invariable a la ubicación de producción. Sobre todo, las ideas se han convertido cada vez más en propiedad común de toda la humanidad.
