Answer:

The identity challenge

Explanation:

The identity we take is a name for personality or characteristics we associate with according to our life, history, ideal, political values, moral attitudes, religious beliefs, etc.

Black identity as such is personal identification that African American people take as a product not only of their race or skin color but of their communities, history, living conditions and racism they face. If someone is not considered "black enough" they might, in the eyes of another, lack some these aspects that would create their identity: maybe they didn't grow up in the tradition of other people in the community or their skin is lighter, maybe nowadays they don't involve themselves with the community enough, or any other of the reasons.

This produces challenges to identity.

In this case, the identity as a category is being questioned, is not believed in, is challenged either by the community or the individual or both. It can later grow to affect a person in question in a sense that they grow not to be sure of their identity, their position, to feel abandoned by the community or face any of the other sociological or psychological problems.

what causes list development of a country ?why is Nepali still one of the least developed countries? write in points

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Some countries are less developed than others because they lack resources and there are structural inequalities. Nepal is still a less developed country because of the rugged geography and endemic poverty of a large part of its population.

Explanation:

Using the Human Development Index Nepal is ranked as a medium in the human development category. The Human Development Index considers factors life expectancy , average years of schooling, and the GNI per capita. Between 1990 and 2018 Nepal improved on these indicators by 52%. This is impressive for a country that in 1950 was still an isolated and highly agrarian society with very few schools or hospitals. There was a lack of roads and communication, and there was little to no electric power to fuel industries.

Today, agriculture still dominates the economy. About 65% are employed in agriculture and it makes up close to 32% of Nepal's GDP. Only about 20% of the terrain is cultivable. The rest is mountainous or forested and the economy is shored up by foreign remittances of workers who emigrate temporarily or semi-perminantly to other countries.
