Answer:

The word and idea of ghettos was not born during the Holocaust era. In fact, the concept was born in 1516, in Venice, and the word comes from a combination of Italian and Jewish languages. The ghettos were primarily for Jewish minorities of the diaspora, who settled outside of their Promised Land. However, they also became the place for other such minorities. Although isolated from the main cities, and with their own systems, and with high levels of poverty, these ghettos were not used as jailing systems where people would be tortured, mistreated, or concentrated to be killed. They were simply like isolated neighborhoods where these minorities settled.

But during the Holocaust the idea changed. Hitler used the ghetto system and transformed it into the forefather version of concentration camps. Literally, ghettos like those in Poland became places of incarceration, where there was absolute poverty, lack of sanitation, and death, and these places were reserved for Jews, or people suspected of having Jewish blood. In the end, they simply became holding centers until the Jews could be sent to concentration camps.

A ghetto is a part of a city that is occupied by a minority group or groups. Before the Holocaust, Jewish people were forced to live in ghettos as a means to isolate them from society. During Hitler's reign, the ghettos were used as a transition point between their homes and concentration camps.

In "the rockpile" by James Baldwin, the rockpile is both a setting and a symbol. What represents the rockpile is that it tags with freedom and danger that comes along with a price that must be paid. The rockpile is a foundation that keeps many people safe but also dangerous if tampered.

Answer:isa. an unconditioned stimulus.

Explanation:

According to classical conditioning , the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) is the one in which our response occurs naturally , automatic and unconditionally which means we don't learn how to respond.

For example a smell of your favourite pizza will immediately make you feel hungry because it actual triggers this automatic response from you. The smell of food is the unconditioned stimulus.

In Ivan Pavlov's classic experiment with dogs, when the dog smell their food , the salivating that result from them is an unconditioned response and food is the unconditioned stimulus, it an unlearned response that takes place naturally. This is the same as the meat powder above , which is the dog food.
