During the era of slavery in the United States, the education of African Americans, enslaved and free, was often discouraged, except for religious instruction, and eventually made illegal in many of the Southern states. It was believed that literacy was a threat to the institution of slavery. First, literacy facilitated knowledge about the successful slave revolution in Haiti of 1791–1804, the end of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, and the writings of abolitionists. Secondly, literacy allowed or potentially allowed slaves better access to information about the Underground Railroad and other routes to freedom.

How can education address the class divide

sveta [45]

Answer:

It can help to close the gap in social inequality

Explanation:

Education does not immediately mean that one would become rich because sometimes people are well educated but have no jobs or underpaying jobs.

But education has a big role to play in the fight foe social equality. One of the goals of education is that it is a means to a free and a just society.

With this in mind, education and social justice have a relationship. A lack of education means a lack of social justice.

Describe the current state of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Sophie [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

After seventy years of permanent conflicts, the current state of the Israel-Palestine conflict still has a long way to go. On May 14, 1948, Dave Ben-Gurion, with the support of Great Britain and the United States, officially established the state of Israel. This represented the creation of Israel as a country and immediately was recognized by United States President Harry S. Truman. Of course, Palestine opposed to the occupation of its territory, continuing the conflicts that have including fighting using weapons, terrorist acts, and permanent negotiations using diplomats.

Today, negotiations are stalled, big religious and ethnic differences still causing so much damage in the region, permanent aggressions are lived daily, and so much hate and pain has been the result.

15. Donna Holbrook, an administrative assistant at Mason Enterprises, charged some office supplies to the company credit card. S

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Multiple reimbursement scheme

Explanation:

What Donna Holbrook did is considered a case of multiple reimbursement. This means she requested the payment of the expense more than once. She first used the company credit card to buy the office supplies. This means that she didn’t use her own money because the credit card wasn’t hers. But a month after that, she used the receipt to request reimbursement from the company implying that she bought those supplies with her own money. By doing so, the company is paying twice for a purchase that was done only once. There’re also other kind of expense reimbursement schemes: fictitious expense schemes (when the expense is actually not real but made up by the employee); overstated expense schemes (when the employee inflates the expense in order to keep the extra money); and mischaracterized expense schemes (this occurs when the employee intends to get reimbursement for an expense that is personal and not related to the business).
