Which is true about the Atlantic slave trade?

Social Studies

sweet [91]3 years ago
6 0

But responsibility for the slave trade is not simple. On the one hand, it was indeed the Europeans who purchased large numbers of Africans, and sent them far away to work in their colonies. On the other hand, Africans bear some responsibility themselves: some African societies had long had their own slaves, and they cooperated with the Europeans to sell other Africans into slavery. The Europeans relied on African merchants, soldiers and rulers to get slaves for them, which they then bought, at convenient seaports.

Africans were not strangers to the slave trade, or to the keeping of slaves. There had been considerable trading of Africans as slaves by Islamic Arab merchants in North Africa since the year 900. When Leo Africanus travelled to West Africa in the 1500s, he recorded in his The Description of Africa and of the Notable Things Therein Contained that, "slaves are the next highest commodity in the marketplace. There is a place where they sell countless slaves on market days." Criminals and prisoners of war, as well as political prisoners were often sold in the marketplaces in Gao, Jenne and Timbuktu.

Perhaps because slavery and slave trading had long existed in much of Africa (though perhaps in forms less brutal than the slavery practised in the Americas), Africans were untroubled by selling slaves to Europeans.

What utilitarianism states that we may establish rules based on the greatest utility, then apply that rule to every case thereaf
kogti [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Utilitarianism is a philosophical theory that seeks to understand the foundations of ethics and morals from the consequences of actions.

In this case, utilitarianism is the idea that an action can only be considered morally correct if its consequences promote collective well-being. If the outcome of the action is negative for most, it is classified as morally reprehensible. That is, according to utilitarianism, rules should not be taken on the basis of the greatest utility, but should be established on the basis of the social welfare that these rules will provide to society.

From this reasoning, utilitarianism presents itself as opposed to selfishness, since the consequences of actions must be focused on the happiness of a set and not on particular and individual interests.

What proposed changes were made to boost the chinese economy that caused mao to launch the oppressive?
trapecia [35]

The proposed changes to boost the Chinese economy that caused Mao to launch the oppressive Cultural Revolution included allowing workers to compete for wages, capitalist reforms that Mao viewed as anti-Communist, and to allow farmers to sell their excess crops.

The Cultural Revolution was launched by the Chinese Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong to reinvigorate the spirit of the Chinese Revolution.

In the 1960s, Mao was worried that China would adopt the Soviet model which he felt was a betrayal of the Russian Revolution. He was also concerned with his diminishing role in the government.

He felt that the economic policies adopted by his colleagues to revive the Chinese economy after the failed Great Leap Forward policy were against the spirit of the revolution. These included reforms on worker’s wages and sale of agricultural produce.
