How did european scientists and writers in the nineteenth century attempt to make sense of the differences in the appearance and behavior they observed between themselves and non-europeans?

The Europeans scientists and writers century based the differences in appearance and behavior they observed between themselves and non-Europeans mostly on biological factors.

According to several studies conducted on the human behavior and how it is different from society to society, it is concluded that the differences are based on biological factors that an individual is exposed to. But biological factor alone is not responsible, the environmental factors also come into play. Following biological factors, a particular behavior can be present in the said gene but it would be incorrect to say that the gene controls the behavior. Genes simply facilitate the traits passed on from parent to offspring but the environmental factors act as the stimulus to bring the behavior into action.

Same is followed for the difference in the appearance. Genes from the father and the mother to their offspring are responsible for their appearance. For example, the child of a mother with brown eyes is most likely to have the same color of eyes as the mother. The environment plays less role in this case as compared to the behavior.

despite recent progress in bangladesh in the areas of poverty and human development indicators such as literacy and life expectancy, inequalities in income and consumption rates have increased, with 32% of the population living below the poverty line.

bangladesh is one of the world’s most densely populated countries; the size of illinois, bangladesh has a population of 156 million people, half the population of the united states. despite recent progress out of poverty and increasing human development indicators such as literacy and life expectancy, inequalities in income and consumption rates have increased (undp 2005). 32% of the population lives below the national poverty line, most of whom are women and children. the prevalence of child (under 5) malnutrition is 33%, one of the highest in the world.

the disproportionate poverty faced by women and girls comes as a result of discrimination and exclusion within bangladeshi society, struggling to establish their rights and influence in decision-making processes. traditional practices such as dowries, child marriages and the relegation of being last to eat have created a demeaning and dangerous sociopolitical context for girls and women.
