The correct answer to this open question is the following.

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

How does Congress react to Paulson requesting a bailout of US banks totaling over 7 billion dollars?

Congress acted against it, and the House of Representatives voted against Paulson requesting.

Let's remember the moment. It was September 20, 2008, when US Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Paulson, submitted this proposal to the lower house of Congress. The House of Representatives discussed the proposal but considered that it was a tax imposition for US citizens to try to save the bad decisions of the bankers. So on September 29, the House of Representatives voted against the proposal, and immediately the stock changes of the world -including the New York stock exchange, of course- plummeted.

President George W. Bush had to swiftly react and signed the EESA Act (the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 to rescue the financial institutions and banks with $700 billion.

Explain in detail who could be considered "civilized" and "uncivilized" according the theory of Social Darwinism.?

likoan [24]

Social Darwinism applies Darwin's evolutionary concepts of natural selection and survival of the fittest to human society. One of the main ideas used to measure society in these terms, is the idea of civilization as a scale.

According to Darwin "the grade of civilization seems a most important element in the success of nations". To him, progress only went one way, and it was European's society's way as the example of what's civilized. Any society that didn't move along with Europe's perspective on moral and intellectual values, manifestations of technological or political advancement, would be considered "savage" or "uncivilized".

Hope this helps!
