Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois were two important leaders of the Black community in the United States. However, they each had very different opinions about the role of the African community, and on how equality could be achieved.
Booker T. Washington believed that the Black community needed to adopt a philosophy of self-help, racial solidarity and accomodation. He believed that African Americans had the duty to educate themselves and improve their livelihood in order to be taken seriously by white Americans. On the other hand, W.E.B. DuBois believed that this approach only put an extra burden on black people, while ignoring the responsibilities of whites. He argued that social change had to come through political change, and advocated political action.
I believe that their differences were as substantial as the friction between their followers. The two men had very different opinions about race and advancement. Moreover, I believe that the opinions of Booker T. Washington were more suited to the temper of the times as he took a more positive view of white people and a more negative view of conflict and political activism.
1. The correct answer here is the first option.
Wilson was an idealist and he wanted to ensure the world peace after the end of the World War I, which up to that point was the bloodiest conflict in the human history. So he proposed a union called the League of Nations which would ensure integrity and independence of both big and small countries all around the world.
2.The correct answer would be the third option.
One of the "Fourteen Points", Point X states that the Austria-Hungary should be allowed greatest autonomy in advancing and ruling its own country. Wilson was an idealist and he wanted to ensure even Austria-Hungary's place among other nations. So the scenario outlined in option 3 would best fit "Fourteen Points".
In the novel Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, the main character, an African American, suffers from a harsh exhibition of prejudice and discrimination caused by the color of his skin. He was invited to give the same farewell speech he said to his high school classmates in front of a town’s meeting which had a majority of white male citizens. In its place, there was a fight which involves his classmates and him. At the end, he tries to recite his speech and he mistakenly uses “social equality” instead of “social responsibility” and that’s when the crowd starts to get angry at him, reminding him of his place in this world. The crowd started to get more upset since they had a misconception of African Americans at that time, they believed they were nothing but an isolated group of society and they were considered a low-life population; additionally, the behavior of the <em>Invisible Man</em> and his classmates was not their best analyzing the standards of morally correct citizens they wanted to achieve. Subsequently, the Invisible man tries to find his place in this world, a place opposite to the opinion that a white America has of him.
