In which lines does Harryette Mullen’s show this concept? How is language being used to oppress people in the current state of the country today?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
It is true that language can be used as a "tool for power," which in turn can be used for oppression.
In which lines do Harryette Mullen’s show this concept?
In the following lines:
"You were detained for interrogation because you fit the profile.
You are not presumed to be innocent if the police
have reason to suspect you are carrying a concealed wallet.
It is not our fault you were born wearing a gang color.
It is not our obligation to inform you of your rights,"
How language is being used to oppress people in the current state of the country today?
Language can do much harm because it lasts forever. Words can heal but also can hurt and create damage. And in today's world, people have been very aggressive. It seems that respect and tolerance are things from the past.
Language has been used to insult, denigrate, offend, and attack. And this has repercussions that precede violence.

Answer:
Terrorist attacks are almost never justifiable.
Explanation:
Wars and other forms of violence are already terrible. Terrorism on the other hand is way worse. Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government or its citizens to further certain political or social objectives. It is highly illegal and almost never makes a group agree with your views. Terrorism only instills fear, causes wars, and never ends well.

The black panther party’s tactics in the war on poverty included ?
Answer:
The Black Panther party (BPP) was formed to address police violence and nagging inequalities that punctuated African Americans' lives.
Explanation:
far from being anti-white, the party addressed issues of poverty and inequality that affected communities of color. The founders, Huey Newton and Bobby Sealed founded the party in Oakland, CA in 1966. They were particularly concerned with issues of police brutality, which was a major problem in Oakland and nationwide at the time. Citing the Second Amendment, point #7 of their 10 point blueprint directed black people to "arm themselves for self defense."
In addition to guns, under the open carry laws in California at the time, members would also arm themselves with law books in order to shine a light on police misconduct and for informing those being stopped by the police or arrested of their Constitutional rights.
The history of the party offers a unique parallel to our current movement of the Black Lives Matter proponents today, including the use of social media which is designed to focus the public's attention on the continued unequal treatment of people of color and especially the wave of police violence brought against them.

Select the correct answer. An anthropologist publishes a paper, but does not disclose information about the fact that a charity sponsored the study. Which ethical principle is the anthropologist violating? A. preserving records B. informed consent C. research accessibility D. openness and honesty
The correct answer is D) openness and honesty.
An anthropologist publishes a paper but does not disclose information about the fact that a charity-sponsored the study. The ethical principle the anthropologist is violating is the principle of openness and honesty.
The Anthropologist must share the credit of its research because the charity institution or different people donated resources that made the research possible.
This means that without that support, teh research could have not to be conducted. That is why it is important to share the credit and disclose information about the people and institutions that supported the research. Being open and honest are traits that every research needs in this activity. Otherwise, the anthropologist is about to close many doors for further opportunities.
