An instructor gives her students a list of terms to memorize for their biology exam and immediately asks one student to recite t

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The answer is the items at the end of the list.

Explanation:

The student in the example is more likely to remember the items at the end of the list, due to a phenomenon called the recency effect: we will remember best the most recent information. At the same time, this is related to the serial-position effect, which states that the order of the items in a list influences the way we remember them. More specifically, we remember items at the end and the beginning more easily.

Could the wallpaper have been any other color? How would a change in color have changed the story? How does the color "yellow" a

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman which was published in 1892. The narration tells us about a woman (the main narrator) whose loving husband John, a physician, takes them both to a mansion home where the two of them are to stay during the summer months until she gets better from her "depressive" condition, as her husband says it. The two end up establishing themselves not on the first floor for the house, but rather on the second-floor nursery room because, according to John, it has all the conditions that are necessary for his wife to heal. Apart from the opennes, airiness and the amount of windows on the place where John basically locks his wife, we are told of two pretty unique features; the first, that all the windows are barred and the walls have interspersed rings in them, and also, that the room is papered with a yellow pattern that at first the narrator hates for its color and design, but that soon becomes the center of attention, and the main driver of the events that develop in the story.

It must be remembered that the narrator liked to write, and according to John had too much of a creative imagination that could be the reason why she was always tired and sick. As the story progressses the color of the paper, and the pattern of it, go from being a symbol of domestication and tradition for women (the case of the narrator being a wife and not being allowed to be anything else), to becoming a mysterious place where the narrator finds almost an alternative universe where a woman, much like her, seeks to break free of that traditional and standardized pattern. So, the answer to the questions would be:

1. No, the color and the pattern were the symbol of what was expected of women, of tradition and eestablished roles in society. If this pattern had been changed, then maybe the narrator would not have grown interested in studying beyond what she at first hated to find what lay beneath.

2. The wallpaper is described by the narrator as hideous, and in pretty bad shape, almost dirty and mistreated. Then, she starts to analyze it more and more and realize that that which at first she hated has now become appealing and interesting to her. It is the color yellow, and the shabbiness of the paper that first invites the narrator to try and look beyond that ugliness to find what lies beneath. This is why sets off the events of the story. So again the color could not have changed.

1. “It is a waste of time to search into the darkness of the African past for an African

valina [46]

Answer:

“It is a waste of time to search into the darkness of the African past for an African

Civilization, forget the chaotic and barbaric past of the African continent."

To say that the statement is Eurocentric is a euphemism because it implies that Africa's past had nothing of repute or value to present to the world.

Walter Rodney in his book "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" (1972) testifies that Africa had a civilization which was crushed by colonialism. Thus the statement

It has the following effects:

It has the potential to inflame hate and exacerbate the already fragile tension between Africans the white supremacists;

This sort of speech also endangers the lives of well-meaning Africans everywhere in Europe. The first stage of Genocide is classification. The next is symbolisation. Classification simply means that one party implicitly or explicitly is creating a divide or some form of social strata. Symbolisation, on the other hand, is to force with hate symbols upon a particular race of people. By that statement, darkness, chaos and barbarism are already used to qualify the African people.

The statement is also an attack on the heritage of the African people. Not just the African continent as a geographical location. In 2017, a 12-year-old girl was reported to have said:

"Now that Trump is president, I’m going to shoot you and all the blacks that I can find"

Such statements if left unchecked can spark off continental chaos and may even degenerate into other forms of social mayhem.

2. Rite of Passage

According to Van Gennep, the three rites of passage are

separation: This he describes as separation from a previous world. In some cases, this stage is accompanied by the shaving off of one's hair.

liminality: This speaks to a state that is in-between the previous one and the final or next stage

incorporation: This stage is usually consummated by a ritual. In some climes, for instance, one of the rites involves "bull jumping". If completed, then one is said to have transited from boyhood to manhood.

3. How Africans contribute to the western insults about the people of Africa are:

Refusal to embrace development: This in many cases is as a result of corruption. African politician would rather embezzle money than commit them to the greater good;
Refusal to obey law and order even in one's best interest;
Decadent value system
Lack of respect for human lives
Refusal to embrace indigenous technology

4. Africa is resource-rich but poor developmentally

According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, a human will cater to it's basic/primary needs (such as food, shelter, clothing etc) first before seeking the satisfaction of higher needs of self-fulfilment etc.

Development is strongly related to the need for a higher quality of life/self-fulfilment.

Many African nations are poor developmentally because they are still grappling with the issues at the base of Maslow's pyramid. In the west, there is social security. To a large extent, the effects of the base pyramid are mitigated by the government hence, people can strive for higher ideals which translate to development.

Neo-Colonisation/Hegemony

In this case, the west is largely to blame. International tools of Neo-colonisation such as the IMF and more recently the WHO are tools being used to control many of the African countries albeit indirectly. Some sociology/political experts state that the objective is to prevent any world power from emerging from Africa.

Poor Leadership

The Leadership of the African continent seems to stifle technological growth whilst the developing nations embrace this knowing that it is the future. When an economy is unable to manage it's resources, even if it is the richest in those resources, it will experience stunted growth if it lacks leadership.

5. Underdeveloped and Underdevelopment of Nations in Africa

The greatest any nation has is its people. The colonial governments stripped Africa of the minds that developed it and used those minds to develop theirs. This is the underdevelopment of Africa.

On the other hand, when an African nation is said to be underdeveloped, it is so because it is grappling with challenges such as poverty, high infant mortality rate, uncontrolled population, lack of industrialisation, low literacy levels etc.

Cheers!

1. Which group of people migrated to Israel shortly after its founding in 1948?

lukranit [14]

The correct answer is; Jewish people.

Further Explanation:

There was a rush of immigrants that flocked to Israel right after it was founded in 1948. By 1950, the size of the immigrants were doubled. In 1948, there was a new law enacted called "Proclamation of the Establishment of the State of Israel." This called for all open Jewish immigration to come into Israel.

It was in 1950 that the "Law of Return" was enacted and granted automatic rights and citizenship to the Jewish people. There were an estimated 687,000 Jewish people who took advantage of the new law in 1950. The people who came were from several groups such as;

Holocaust survivors
Jewish communities from Bulgaria and Poland
Jewish people from Iraq, Libya, and Yemen
One third of the Jewish population from Romania.
