Answer 1

Part 1:

1.) The selection emphasizes that those in power, such as government officials and wealthy individuals, often have the greatest influence on what is taught in schools and universities. It also suggests that mainstream education often perpetuates ideas and values that serve the interests of those in power, rather than challenging them.

2.) This selection can be seen as a forerunner to Africana Studies in that it highlights the importance of educating Black people about their history and culture, and challenges the Eurocentric biases that dominate mainstream education. It also emphasizes the need for Black people to take control of their own education and create institutions that reflect their values and interests.

3.) Three major things that can be learned from this selection are: the importance of education in empowering oppressed communities; the ways in which mainstream education often perpetuates and reinforces systems of power and oppression; and the need for Black people to take control of their own education and create institutions that reflect their values and interests.

True. Elijah Muhammad's teachings often addressed the negative effects of mainstream culture on Black people, and emphasized the need for them to resist the influences of the dominant society and create their own culture.

However, they may not be the only or most appropriate perspective for all areas of study within the discipline.
