African Americans were always put in a difficult position in history; whether it was slavery, racism, segregation, or lack of human rights, there's no question about whether or not they were prejudiced against. However, things were different before and after slavery.

Before African Americans were brought into slavery, they mostly populated Africa. Their colonies weren't very far along, and the colonies in Europe, North America, and South America were much farther along in technology.  African Americans are descended from various ethnic groups, mostly from western and central Africa, including the Sahel. A smaller number came from eastern and southeastern Africa. The major ethnic groups that the enslaved Africans belonged to included the Hausa, Bakongo, Igbo, Mandé, Wolof, Akan, Fon, Yoruba, and Makua, among many others.

After the long fight against slavery, African Americans still had a long way to go for equal rights. In 1865, slavery was officially ended in the United States, now known as the Emancipation Proclamation. Although slavery was outlawed, that never stopped white citizens from showing a painfully obvious distaste for colored citizens. Transportation, education, restaurants, and public restrooms were all separated by color of the skin, leading to years of underlying racism. Currently, African Americans have equal human rights, but no one can deny that we as a nation still have a long way to go for equality.

Why did the gay community respond to the AIDS crisis in the way it did?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

En los Estados Unidos, los hombres gay y bisexuales son la población más afectada por el VIH.

Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) recomiendan que todos los hombres gay y bisexuales que sean sexualmente activos se sometan a la prueba de detección del VIH al menos una vez al año. Algunos de ellos se pueden beneficiar de una prueba más frecuente, por ejemplo, cada 3 a 6 meses.

Se debe considerar la posibilidad de administrar la profilaxis preexposición (PrEP) a los hombres gay y bisexuales seronegativos expuestos al riesgo de contraer la infección por el VIH. La PrEP consiste en administrar medicamentos a diario a las personas seronegativas pero expuestas al riesgo de contraer la infección por el VIH con el fin de reducir su posibilidad de contraerla.

Which excerpt from Chesterton’s essay best expresses what St. Thomas Aquinas taught about modification?
Archy [21]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

"Things change because they are not complete; but their reality can only be explained as part of something that is complete. It is God."

Rememeber that Aquinas (as most of medieval philosophers) was influenced by Greek philosophers, especially Plato and Aristotle. To better understand why this quote better epxlain Aquina point of view we must remember the Aristotelian natural theology in which Aristotle expose his point of view about God as "the unmoved mover".

The "unmoved mover" concept is very interesting because in it God is not only the creator of all (as we commonly know from the bible), but it is also part of it all:

All that exist´s is created from God; but since all is created from him, everything that exist´s is a part of him, and the whole universe is no other thing than him, fragmented throughout the universe.
