Answer: social environment
Explanation:
The social environment, has to do with the the environment, that is both the physical setting and the social setting that we live in as humans. The social environment also include the institution and the people we interact with everyday.
Therefore, based on the information in the question, we can say that the changes in the social environment led to the publication of the Starting Point Study Bible.
Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois were two important leaders of the Black community in the United States. However, they each had very different opinions about the role of the African community, and on how equality could be achieved.
Booker T. Washington believed that the Black community needed to adopt a philosophy of self-help, racial solidarity and accomodation. He believed that African Americans had the duty to educate themselves and improve their livelihood in order to be taken seriously by white Americans. On the other hand, W.E.B. DuBois believed that this approach only put an extra burden on black people, while ignoring the responsibilities of whites. He argued that social change had to come through political change, and advocated political action.
I believe that their differences were as substantial as the friction between their followers. The two men had very different opinions about race and advancement. Moreover, I believe that the opinions of Booker T. Washington were more suited to the temper of the times as he took a more positive view of white people and a more negative view of conflict and political activism.
