An african american who believes that african american culture is superior to all other cultures is guilty of ethnocentrism.
Inessa [10]

The correct answer is True

The word ethnocentrism designates a way of looking at another ethnicity (and its derivations, such as culture, habits, religion, language and forms of life in general) based on one's own ethnicity. The ethnocentric world view does not allow the observer of a culture to recognize otherness and makes him establish his own culture as a starting point and reference for quantifying and qualifying other cultures. This results, roughly speaking, that the ethnocentric observer sees himself as superior to the others in cultural, religious and ethnic-racial aspects.

The ethnocentric view is one that sees the world based on its own culture, disregarding other cultures or considering its own as superior to the others.

In east africa, the united states federal government should prioritize its counterterrorism efforts over its humanitarian assist
notsponge [240]
Yes, i think they should

Most common cause of Huaman violence is the lack of resource. When there is basically nothing around you that could help you sustain your living, your instinct will kick in and you will be forced to hurt one another in order to steals resources and survive.
By doing humanitarian acts, such as giving free foods or building a water well, we will have a big chance to reduce these violent behaviors.

Hello!

Here is your answer:

Your answer is B. A standing committee.

Reason: At those committees that's where bills are purposed then they will be sent to the congress men who will decide if the bill should become a law then it gets sent to the president and if the president agrees the bill will become a law. If he doesn't he will veto the bill and he will send the bill back to the congress men where yet again they will discuss and send it back to the president. It is a very long process.

Your answer is B.

Hope this helps.
