Answer:

The Rwandan genocide was due to ethnic conflict between the Hutu and the Tutsi.

Explanation:

Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana was assassinated on 6 April 1994 and this ushered in killings of especially Tutsi Rwandans on a massive scale. Rwanda was first colonized by the Germans in the 1880s but they ruled largely by indirect rule through the Tutsi king. Then the Belgian forces took control of Rwanda during World War I. The Belgians modernized the Rwandan economy but the Tutsi were still favored for administrative positions and had other social advantages with the colonial administration over the Hutu. In the 1930s identity cards were introduced by Belgium that specified the ethnicity of individuals. Whereas before the categories were more fluid with wealthy Hutu being able to become honorary Tutsi, the identity cards made the divisions more rigid.

A child watches a mother move some chocolate while "Maxi" isn’t watching. A psychologist asks, "Where will Maxi look for the cho

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The answer is theory of mind.

Explanation:

Theory of mind is a study concerned with the ability to imagine reality through the perspective of a different person. In the example, if the child answers that Maxi will look for the chocolate in the last place he (Maxi) saw it, he's likely developed theory of mind. This means he's able to understand Maxi didn't see the spot where his mother hid it, and thus he has no reason to look for it there.

In daily life, theory of mind is important to understand how other people feel and experience the world.
