assume 如何理解？

As the country prepares to revert to white man rule, our common condition for all but the 8 of the last 240 years,we should think harder about  why we assume so little of man,including ones we may be married to.Too many men don't prove these expectations wrong,and are rewarded anyway with prizes like the presidency.

As:做连词 +句子

1. 引导时间状语从句：当..的时候，同when ,while ..

As a child(when he was a child),she was sent to six different schools.

------------------连接2个句子都有动作发生的时候，看主从句表示的2给动作是同时发生（一边..一边）；

                      还是一前一后（随着）。

as 多表示从句与主句动作同时进行，意味“一边..一边...”

she sang song as she did her homework.

as还表示一动作紧接着另一动作发生，说明一动作的结果，“随着....”

As time went by, we found he was an honest man.
