Answer:

Just like slavery.

Explanation:

After slavery was ended by the civil war, the southern States still treated the African American people with hostility. The criminal system that they created targeted mostly the African American community, which make their prison is heavily populated by ex-slaves.

They created a system called convict labor.

In this system, the prison "Rent" their prisoners to private companies to work as their labor. In return, the companies will pay the prison with a sum amount of money that is lower compared to hiring workers with normal process. Since they're convicts, the prison in southern states did not reward the prisoners in any way. So, it works like slavery.

when your phone alerts you that you received a text you check the message. when your phone doesn't sound an alert you check it m

Sloan [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following,

When your phone alerts you that you received a text you check the message. When your phone doesn't sound an alert you check it much less frequently. The difference in your behavior from one situation to another is most likely due to awareness, conditioning, and the reaction to an external stimulus.

The external stimulus is of course the ringing or the sound alert. This makes people immediately check what the alert is about. In today's modern world, people are conditioned to react to a stimulus; the alarm sound. That is why, in the presence of the stimulus, they conditionally react and check their phones.

When there is no stimulus, the mind does not operate in a conditioned way and people less frequently react as in the presence of the stimulus.
