Economic discrimination puts the economy inside its production possibilities curve because discrimination:

promotes present consumption rather than production of capital goods.

often causes inflation, which reduces the nation's real output.

redistributes income from low-paid to high-paid persons.

arbitrarily blocks women and certain minorities from higher-productivity, higher wage jobs and thus keeps the economy from producing its maximum output.

Question 2:

Economic discrimination:

affects the distribution of domestic output and income, but not its total size.

places the economy at some point inside of its production possibilities curve.

affects the total size of domestic output and income, but not its distribution.

is shown as some point outside of an economy's production possibilities curve.

Question 3:

Labor market discrimination creates a:

larger domestic output but no redistribution.

redistribution of a smaller domestic output.

redistribution of a larger domestic output.

smaller domestic output but no redistribution.

Question 4:

An increase in the collective discrimination coefficients of employers will:

reduce the African-American wage rate, increase African-American employment, and lower the actual African-American-white wage ratio.

reduce the African-American wage rate, decrease African-American employment, and lower the actual African-American-white wage ratio.

individual workers are judged by the characteristics of the groups to which they belong.

prejudiced white employers will never hire African-American workers.

Question 7:

Question 8:

An implication of the taste-for-discrimination model is that:

other things equal, nondiscriminating firms will have lower production costs than discriminating firms.

discrimination will move a firm along its declining average total cost curve.

discrimination can lower a firm's production costs.

other things equal, discriminating firms will have lower production costs than nondiscriminating firms.

Question 9:

An employer is prejudiced, prefers to hire white rather than African-American workers, and is willing to pay higher wages to obtain white workers. This illustrates:

the crowding model.

statistical discrimination.

the taste-for-discrimination model.

reverse discrimination.

Question 10:

Empirical studies generally find that the estimated discrimination coefficient is larger in southern versus northern states. True or False: presuming that the wage differential is due to employer discrimination, this necessarily implies that there are more discriminating employers in the South than there are in the North.

Could anyone please help me out to summary that two paragraphs or rewrite it with another word

1-Thousands of women served as volunteer nurses during the Civil War. There is a very little written record of their service through a few of the more famous names left accounts, including Louisa May Alcott, Jane Stuart Woolsey, Susie King Taylor, and Katherine Prescott Wormeley. At the beginning of the war, nurses were merely volunteers who showed up at military hospitals. But after the Battle Of Bull Run, Clara Barton and Dorethea Dix organized a nursing corps to help care for the wounded soldiers.

2- African-Americans served in the Civil War on both the Union and Confederate sides. In the Union army, over 179,000 African American men served in over 160 units, as well as more serving in the Navy and support positions. This number comprised of both northern free African Americans and runaway slaves from the South who enlisted to fight. In the Confederacy, African-Americans were still slaves and they served mostly in labor positions. By 1865, the South allowed slaves to enlist but very few actually did.
