Answer:

Advancing themselves through education

Explanation:

In his address at the Atlanta 1985 Exposition, Booker. T. Washington urged African Americans to seek education in order to improve their lives and the lives of their families, to gain economic power, social status, and finally, political influence.

Booker T. Washington believed that the movement for civil rights should advance slowly, by first, focusing on education. He thought that once blacks were well-educated and productive members of society, the prejudices that many White Americans held against them would fade, and this would lead to their acceptance in American mainstream society.

He particularly emphasized the importance of technical education, because he thought that industry was the most important source of jobs for black people. However, he also thought a liberal arts education was important, and he hoped that one day African Americans would receive the same quality liberal arts education that White Americans received.

why do critics feel the us decision to drop the atomic bomb had more to do with the soviet union than japan?

Sloan [31]

Thousands attend the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony annually. Other critics argued that American diplomats had ulterior motives. The Soviet Union had entered the war against Japan, and the atomic bomb could be read as a strong message for the Soviets to tread lightly.

Compare the ways in which command economics and market economics effect a workers life?

Serggg [28]

Command Economies are typically bad when it comes to a person wanting to make a profit. They focus around (typically) economic equality and lack economic efficiency. Generally speaking, in a command economy, resources are allocated by a Central Planning Committee. This generally will lead to several shortages and/or surpluses in products since the demand/supply can be spontaneous.
Command=Bad

Market Economies are focused around making a profit and Economic Efficiency. Basically, people will be rewarded based on how well resources are allocated among the public. For example, take a parking lot like downtown. Generally in a Market economy, we focus on placing as many cars in the lot as possible and using the space to its full potential. However, in a Command, many in these economies will try to allocate the space so that (strictly for example) 3 small, 3 large, and 3 medium vehicles are parked- thus economic equality.
Finally, with a market economy, there tends to be less shortages and less surpluses, since we operate through the Laws of Supply and Demand in which an equilibrium price will be automatically established through buying and selling
Market=Good

Hope it Helps!
