Answer:

B : perceptual distortion

Explanation:

Perceptual Distortion is an unusual response to stimuli, based on abnormal interpretation. Its happens due to cognitive bias, personal preference bias & belief set. Such misinterpretations are biased, they are formed irrespective of authenticity of information in hand.

Its extremely crucial to validate a medical proposition based on only scientific medical research by the specialists. However, Robbie claims - that an approach to cancer cure surely works. She does so not grounded on medical organisation certification to the approach, but based on a blog testimony she read. Such unusually conclusive interpretation made by her is due to her innate support towards the approach. So, it reflects perceptual distortion.

Not all Europeans supported slavery. Many decent people spoke out against it. But they were unable to stop slavery for centuries
finlep [7]

Answer:

No, it definitely was not pure racism.

Explanation:

While individuals who have pure hatred and racist views against other groups of people have always existed, during the centuries that slavery existed, not everyone who owned slaves or supported slavery justified their position on the basis of racist arguments.

Very often, these arguments in favor of racism were made from an economic point of view. They justified slavery because slavery was fundamental for their economic well-being. Some people even justified slavery under supposedly moral, ethical, or religious reasons, arguing that slaves were better off under the control of their owners, or that some religious scripture justified slavery.
