But responsibility for the slave trade is not simple. On the one hand, it was indeed the Europeans who purchased large numbers of Africans, and sent them far away to work in their colonies. On the other hand, Africans bear some responsibility themselves: some African societies had long had their own slaves, and they cooperated with the Europeans to sell other Africans into slavery. The Europeans relied on African merchants, soldiers and rulers to get slaves for them, which they then bought, at convenient seaports.
Africans were not strangers to the slave trade, or to the keeping of slaves. There had been considerable trading of Africans as slaves by Islamic Arab merchants in North Africa since the year 900. When Leo Africanus travelled to West Africa in the 1500s, he recorded in his The Description of Africa and of the Notable Things Therein Contained that, "slaves are the next highest commodity in the marketplace. There is a place where they sell countless slaves on market days." Criminals and prisoners of war, as well as political prisoners were often sold in the marketplaces in Gao, Jenne and Timbuktu.
Perhaps because slavery and slave trading had long existed in much of Africa (though perhaps in forms less brutal than the slavery practised in the Americas), Africans were untroubled by selling slaves to Europeans.
Answer:
C). Use of public hearings before congressional committees and subcommittees.
Explanation:
'Oversight' is characterized as the supervision or review of the actions by a committee in order to oversee if the proposed policy, activity, project, or plan will be successfully accomplished. One of the major examples of oversight could be '<u>the public hearings before the committee hearings of the congress and subcommittees' as they primarily aim to monitor, cross-check, or keep an eye on whether the required standards, laws, or regulations are adequately followed to attain the intended goals or not</u>. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
The correct answers are restrictive, semi-restrictive, and permissive.
Restrictive societies are those where children do not have any sort of sexual expression and where information about sex is kept hidden from them; such societies would be Murngin, Trukese, Ashanti, etc. In these societies, sexuality is not often discussed, especially at this young age.
Semi-restrictive societies are those where there are certain 'rules' as to what level of sexuality children and adolescents can be informed about and can express themselves, however, these 'rules' aren't so strict as when it comes to restrictive societies. An example of such a society could be the Alorese.
Permissive societies are those where people are quite open about their sexuality and freely and openly discuss such matters with children and adolescents. They are quite liberal about this and about sexual education of the youth. Such societies could be Hopi, Samoans, Yapese, etc.
