The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can comment on the following.

Immigrants from China made up a large portion of the labor force during the California gold Rush for the following two reasons:

1) They arrived at the port of San Francisco, California, from China. 2) They worked as miners in the California gold mines and were paid low salaries, working under extremely unhealthy and risky conditions.

Chinese immigrants were treated badly because they were foreigners in a foreign land. White miners were jealous of the Chinese miners because Chinese miners worked very hard and were more efficient.

Years later, in the 1860s, and with the passing of the Pacific Railroad Act, Chinese people worked in the Transcontinental Railroad.

The overjustification effect is a term in psychology that is described as an act when used diminishes intrinsic motivation; this effect takes place when a reward (introduction of an extrinsic reward ) is been attached as a motivator of behavior, as a result, decreases the intrinsic motivation (behavior that is driven by internal rewards) to do something.

Please somebody can help me with this:
Valentin [98]
I interviewed my PE teacher about Violence in school and bullying. I chose him because he interacts with students on a different level and many confide in coaches. He said that this is becoming a growing problem and issue among the youths today and need to be addressed. He said that had never been this involved in anything before now. This is very important because it could save a student's life. He recently attended a neighborhood meeting to get people more actively involved in their children's lives and mentor others who didn't have guidance. I was surprised that he was one a victim himself. I have now respect for him because of the way he handled the situation and turned it into a positive. It is important to talk to others about issues that matters to gain knowledge and understanding about them. It is best to keep an open mind because everyone has their own opinions that should be respected.

*I hope this helps. I do hope that this is what you were asking. *
