Answer: c. to support nativist anti-immigration sentiment
Explanation:
Following a wave of migration in the early 20th century, there developed an anti-immigrant sentiment in a lot of Americans who looked down on these immigrants and believed that they had come to engage in bad behavior that was against what they considered to be American values.
They did not want the Catholics to come in and as it was the Prohibition era, did not want people they considered alcoholics as well. They also detested the Communists and believed a lot of Easter Europeans were Communist.
The correct answer is: "specific objectives".
The civil rights movement was able to achieve equality and integration in practice in the 1960s, by the enactment of legislation which enforced the equality provisions and rights that were already contained in the Reconstruction amendments. These are the 14th and 15th amendments to the US Constitution, that were issued in 1868 and 1870 respectively.
A very important specific objective was consecuted by the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. It forbids racial discrimination in voting, after many years in which equality was not ocurring in practice, specially due to the approval of Jim Crow laws in Southern states, that circumvented the provisions of equality contained in the Reconstruction amendments.
Another achievements came from the decisions of the US Supreme Court. For example, the Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark decision issued by the US Supreme Court in 1954, which declared segregation to be unconstitutional and overturned the former decision reached in the Plessy v. Ferguson judicial procedure, that allowed segregation under the principle "separate but equal". It was considered a major victory connected to the Civil Rights Movement as it set the path for integration too.
More details are needed to answer this question.
Mental illness has always been subject to stigma and discrimination. There are a number of studies on public attitudes towards people with mental illness. Long-term studies, however, examining changes over time are scarce.
AIMS: The aim of this study was to examine potential changes concerning attitudes between 1976 and 2014 in Vilhelmina, a community in northern Sweden.
METHODS: A postal questionnaire was sent out to a random sample of 500 adults aged 18-70 years. The same questionnaire has previously been used in 1976 and 2003.
RESULTS: The attitudes towards people with mental illness have not generally become more positive over the years. In 2014 almost a quarter of the population still think that "people with mental illness commit violentX acts more than others". Even more people in 2014 than in 1976 agree to the statement that "mental illness harms the reputation more than a physical disease" (77.2% versus 52.8%). People with low educational level have more negative views than people with higher education. Younger respondents, < 20 years, had a more positive view than the older age groups. Almost 70% of the respondents would advise someone with psychological problems to seek a psychiatrist but only 23% of the respondents would follow their own advice. Psychotherapy has been and is still highly appreciated. As regards medication the perception is more critical, but there has been a significant change, however, to a more positive attitude towards medication since 1976.
CONCLUSION: Attitudes towards mental illness and mentally ill people have not changed substantially over time.
