Hello! Can some one explain this to me in a simpler way?

Cultural factors also were used to justify imperialism. The same xenophobia that helped pass the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, and led to its renewal in 1892 and 1902, fueled imperialist ideas about foreign nations. Some Americans combined the philosophy of Social Darwinism—a belief that free-market competition would lead to the survival of the fittest—with a belief in the racial superiority of Anglo-Saxons. They argued that the United States had a responsibility to spread Christianity and democracy to “civilize” the world’s “inferior peoples.” This viewpoint narrowly defined “civilization” according to the standards of only one culture.

the answer is true sir

: )

biological/genetic factors means they were born or predisposed to have something. nothing can really change it, and you can't really do much to "fix" it. it isn't something learned

these are the biological factors:

adrian is relatively tall and he is on the basketball team

(adrian can't ever stop being tall or force himself to be tall. likely one or both of his parents are tall as well and they passed on the tall gene. he probably does basketball because he is tall)

the rest are environmental/cultural factors. these are things that are taught to us. for example, cynthia wasn't born saving pocket money, her family most likely taught her this (environmental factor)

hope this !
