Answer:
About 245 million years ago, when all the continents on Earth were fused into one continent called Pangaea, North and South America were more closely packed together. The current shape of Mesoamerica (Middle America) began to emerge as Pangaea broke up, and North and South America separated, not to be rejoined again until about 3 million years ago. This reconnection happened as two tectonic plates moved against each other, causing volcanoes to erupt, which created islands. Sediment gradually filled in among the islands. This had an enormous impact on Earth’s climate, because it reconfigured the ocean currents. Since the Atlantic current could no longer flow into the Pacific Ocean, it turned north up the coast of North America and over to Europe, carrying warm water from the Caribbean that raised temperatures in Europe.
Explanation:
1. One television show I like to watch is called Riverdale (a re-creation of the comic book series "Archie). This show definitely reflects some societies standards. The popular guy is a redhead, muscular, jock, white male who attracts sexualized females who come from wealthy homes. The minorities of the show are very few and overlooked. All the wealthy people, in fact, are WHITE individuals who have large old companies dating back years. ( think of Rockefeller, etc).
2. Sports definitely do reflect gender, race, and class inequality in some aspects. For one, until very recently, many aggressive sports that were televised and popular were limited to white men. Slowly over the years, we learned of tiger woods, OJ Simpson, Michael Jordan but even then we lacked women in sports. Some people who were poor could not pursue their dreams of being in sports because they were busy trying to help support their families. And class, due to our history, always related to race.
3. Gatekeeping is decreasing. Now we see a lot of encouragement for women to engage in science, tech, and engineering fields. Movies depict very successful women who contribute to our history with scientific discoveries. Girls do not have to play with dolls, they can do what boys do. This is all largely in part to dedicated women fighting to change society's values and finally make men and women equal in the eyes of all. Racial issues are slightly improving but as we see with our current political climate and police brutality, it can also be said that there is much more progress to be made in the sense minorities need to be depicted for what they are more often. Hard-working, contributing members of society rather than illegal criminals.
