Answer:

Stereotype threat

Explanation:

Stereotype threat refers to a situation when people from a certain groups is under performing when doing a certain task because they feel pressured that they will perpetuated a negative stereotype about their group if they fail to fulfill a certain expectation.

Let's take black athletes for example,

There is a negative stereotype in united states that they are better than any other group in term of physical ability but less so when doing activities that require intelligence. (For example, you will often heard NFL fans point out that quarterback position held mostly by white athletes because they're smarter)\

When a student who are aware for this stereotyped are asked to perform an activity that require intelligence, they will feel overwhelming pressure to over perform because they fear that other black students' characteristics will be measured by his/her performance. In this end, this pressure prevent that student from fulfilling his/her full potential.

6. Why was there a need for agricultural workers in Virginia and what was the result of the need?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Because the colony became succesful thanks to the cultivation of cash crops, particularly tobacco.

Explanation:

The colonists were few, and some of them were not willing to to hard work (they were upper class). This created a shortage of workers that naturally increased labor demand.

This demand was met with the arrival of thousands of indentured servants. Indentured servants were poor European immigrants who paid for their trip expenses with unpaid work in the plantations for a few years.

After their debt was paid off, they became free, and could become landowners themselves.
