The concept of 'Western Bias' is the Eurocentric perspective of the west towards other continents such as Africa where in the western view they tend to feel as a more superior race thus creating a bias on how they view the continent. The idea developed due to the historical, political, and military dominance of the West. This was exemplified by historical writers and western philosophies such as Hobbes, and Machiavelli who developed concepts of realism while Locke & Smith developed liberalism.

Answer:

This is not true

Explanation:

Although the Progressive Era was known as a period of social activism in the United States (1890s to 1920s), Progressivism (progress) as a means of social reform was (and is) needed all over the world because the human condition needs improvement, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Eliezer and his father are told to lie about their ages. why?

alex41 [277]

Remember that Eliezer and his father were sent off to Auschwitz, which as commonly known today is a death camp. To determine whether they go to Auschwitz or Birkenau (the labor camp next to Auschwitz), they were asked for some of the following things:

1) Age

2) Occupancy

3) Health condition

4) (i believe there might be more) etc.

Each of these determine if they can work, and depending on what they answer, they were either sent directly to the death camp, or were sent to the labor camp.

Now, to answer the question, they were told to lie about their ages so that they would have a higher survivability rate.

hope this helps
