1 answer:

8 0

Answer: "The primary reason the U.S. expanded its influence in foreign countries: Economic reasons – industrialization in the late 1800s increased the need to trade with other countries. Sales of American goods to foreign countries were important to the workers in the U.S."

Explanation: "One of the main reasons was for personal economic gain. Many Americans believed that if they could not succeed where they were, they could always move West and start over. After all, that was how the nation had grown so large. The Panic of 1837 was an incentive for many, but the migration had begun before then."

According to the preamble to the Bill of Rights, what is the purpose of the Bill of Rights?

Nastasia [14]

According to the preamble, the Bill of Rights was created in order to protect the rights of individual citizens from the government.

Further Explanation:

The Bill of Rights refers to the first ten amendments of the US Constitution. This US Constitution was created during the Constitutional Convention after America's first constitution, the Articles of Confederation, failed miserably.

The goal of this document is to list certain rights that all citizens can possess without fear that the government will take these rights away. This includes several different rights such as:

1) Freedom of speech

2) Freedom of religion

3) Freedom of press

4) Right to peacefully assemble

5) Right to petition the government

6) Right to bear arms

All of these freedoms are extremely important to American citizens to this day. These guaranteed freedoms have been protecting by the Bill of Rights since the ratification of the US Constitution in 1789.

Provide a couple of examples of prejudice, one regarding women, the other regarding a minority.

yan [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

One prejudice regarding women is that they are naturally neater and more prone to cleaning and housekeeping. This isn’t true as women’s connection to the house is not in the biological nature, but in the way, a society shaped the women. Since women are the ones giving birth to the children, it is expected of them to be more in the house and therefore take care of the house. They are taught to be more observant and careful about housework. It does not mean they more care about cleaning and house jobs, just that they are culturally subordinated to that role.

One prejudice about a minority is that all Asians are nerdy and into the STEM field. We can see this prejudice often in media as Asian characters often have minor roles in science fields, and their characterizations are connected to this. This idea comes from the fact that Japan, South Korea, and China are developed countries with a strong technological industry. Yet, not everyone that comes from Asia is into these topics – some Asians are not even from these specific countries, some were born in different countries, some have been born in the US, etc. The fact where someone is from doesn’t have anything to do with their intelligence, interests, and skills. Asian people are not just nerdy, socially awkward people who care only about science.
