Task 3 Part A: First, the 13th Amendment was made; it gave African Americans something they had always wanted, ever since they were born, their freedom. Immediately after the Civil War, they sought to give meaning to freedom by reuniting families separated under slavery, establishing their own churches and schools, seeking economic autonomy, and demanding equal civil and political rights (Norton, 2015).

Food Production In the United States On average an adult in the United States will eat about 1,825 lbs. of food each year. To provide food to over 300 million consumers, a lot of procedures must be conducted and followed. This demand has altered the ways of food production. “The average meal has ingredients that have traveled 1,500 miles to our table” (Smith 2). All these ingredients came from a farm. Mass producing food has made local farmers disappear. This disappearance has caused food more…

Unpacking Essentialism Essentialism, at the most basic level, is the idea that things have essences that are unique to them and therefore can be defined. Essentialism, then, has been approached from a wide range of disciplines including philosophy, biology, and psychology to discern the essence of various facets of identity to understand what makes us intrinsically human.
