Answer:

individuals with darker skins and higher socioeconomic status were likely to experience more intense racism, which contributed to higher blood pressure

Explanation:

The initial finding shows that

Dark skins  + darker skins with higher socioeconomic status = higher chance of blood pressure

In plain sight, this might be seen as a genetic correlation (there is something within people in darker skin's genetic that lead to the blood pressure)

But, if we step back and examine more carefully there is also other factors that influence high blood pressure : Stress level.

When people are faced with daily racism, they will feel huge amount of threats due to the aggressive behavior and insults that trowed by other people around them. If this happen constantly within prolonged period of time, it will lead to higher blood pressure within that target group. Especially if they are higher in socioeconomic status. They become more well known to the people and invite more aggressors.

pychu [463]

Answer:

Andrea and Paul

What cooled their friendship?

One of them was surprised to hear that the other had been cherishing a romantic feeling for so long without expressing it.  Perhaps, the surprised party had waited for the disclosure for too long.  The news only came out when, most likely, she is hooked to another man.  This non-disclosure can cause relationships to cool off.  Women are most likely to feel disgruntled and let down, if a man had been nursing a long-lasting relationship feeling without showing or voicing it out.

Explanation:

We are humans in need of communication and love.  It is always good to be expressive.  This may not happen only with words.  Our actions and behaviors can point out such hidden sentiments.  A stitch in time saves nine, as they say.  "...I dey give you signal (Joromi).  Why you no dey see me ah (Joromi).  I give green light tire (Joromi Joro) ...Talk to your friend o..."  These are some lines from a Nigerian singer, Joromi Simi.

What she is saying in this lyrical song is that "if a man loves a woman or a woman loves a man, he/she should not hesitate to relay the information to her/him."  Hiding under the cloak of friendship had undone many good relationships.  Come into the light and let love happen.  Afterall, we are creatures of love, created by LOVE, to love.

The Soviet Union broke up into a number of independent, noncommunist states in 1991. The largest former Soviet state is Russia.
