What do you think the biggest obstacle was in Native American and US Government relations?

Answers

As a Native American myself i would say,

The new US Government was careful not to antagonize the Indians and sought to treat them with mutual respect.  This is evidenced in early treaties where the term “Red Brothers” was used to convey this sentiment of equality.   By 1800 interaction between the Indian and white settlers had become quite common through trade.  Many Indians traded for household goods, traps and tools.  The US became concerned about the cultural differences and sought to improve the Indian station in life by providing education.  The United States no longer feared the Indian but rather took a paternal position toward the Indians and the treaty language reflected this when the Indian was referred to as “Our Red Children.”

Language changes with time and context. What is your opinion about what constitutes good or bad usage? Is it necessary for speakers or writers to follow a standard of correctness? Do such standards vary with the audience and the situation?(will mark brainliest for whoever answers)

Answers

Answer:

Language is like a chameleon: it changes its colors according to the place where it is. What can be considered as good use is using language with certain standards in mind. Such standards do not necessarily have to do with grammatical correction; it is actually a matter of social context. Depending on where one is and whom one talks to, language will certainly have to be used differently, that is, in a particular, sometimes even peculiar way, if one's goal is to get himself or herself across.

  A certain level of grammatical correction is necessary, sometimes more, sometimes less, but it has to be there. After all, certain elementary rules must be followed so communication can be achieved. There are language conventions that cannot be taken for granted if one wants to be understood.

  A certain quality of language and usage must be maintained. That does not mean one has to talk like a scholar who is giving a lecture all the time. One should simply bear in mind the various situations of communication, the many different contexts in which individuals from all walks of life interact and talk. The rules of context correctness can be applied by always using common sense. Language effectiveness requires sensibility and empathy. Depending on the context, this or that approach must be used.

He is vain and self-centered, strong, beautiful, and intelligent. He is deeply curious and desires freedom to explore and think, and he is unafraid of the society of mindless drones around him. Equality 7-2521 represents the superiority of a singular intellect to the homogeneity of the masses, who cannot think for themselves and are indistinguishable from one another

Answers

Answer:

permitted -  illegal

unharmed - injured

ordinary -  beautiful

sullen - cheerful

Explanation:

Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings, e.g. good and bad.

If something is permitted, you are officially allowed to do it, and if it's illegal, you are not. These two meanings are opposite, and that's why permitted and illegal are antonyms. The rest of the pairs can be formed the same way. You can look up the definitions of words in a dictionary and compare them, or search in a thesaurus - a list of words with their synonyms and antonyms.

Read this example.
Jermaine was assigned to write a literary analysis of a book he read about dogs that are trained to help police catch criminals. Jermaine enjoyed the book, because it was fast-paced and exciting. He believed he learned a lot about dogs because there was information about how sensitive the dogs’ sense of smell is and how the dogs are trained to track down wanted criminals. Jermaine’s thesis statement for his literary analysis is "Police dogs are heroes because they use their superior sense of smell to help get dangerous criminals off the streets.”

Which choice best describes Jermaine’s thesis statement?
A. Jermaine’s thesis is acceptable because it expresses a viewpoint and has text evidence.

Throughout the book, Trevor’s mother uses humor to cope with difficult and often painful challenges. When does this approach support Trevor, and when does it challenge or frustrate him? What role does humor play in Trevor’s upbringing? How did that role affect his career choices? How have you used humor to help manage a challenging situation?

Answers

This question is about "Born a crime"

Answer and Explanation:

1. Trevor's mother uses humor to face the difficult situation they live in, both economically, socially and politically. This supports Trevor through difficult times without seeing situations with negativity, but with irony, with jokes and with good humor. This is a challenge, but it helps them to face the way they live lighter and less sadly.

2. As humor was very present in Trevor's life, he realized that this would be the career he should follow to change his and his mother's life. So he decided to be a comedian.

3. Using humor to overcome a challenging situation is very difficult, because these situations tend to motivate the worst within us and humor is not a bad thing. However, I tried to make some jokes when my parents were breaking up and I was seeing my life as something terrible and with no future, it worked sometimes, but it was difficult.

Describe the living conditions in orphanages.

Answers

Answer:

Children living in orphanages tend to lead fairly structured lives. Due to the nature of an orphanage – many children, and fewer caregivers – life happens on a schedule. Children get up, get cleaned, eat, learn, and recreate in a regimented way.

Despite being surrounded by people at all hours of the day, orphanage life can be lonely. Children who have spent time in an orphanage often learn to depend on no one but themselves.

Orphanage life can change a child, making it so that their transition into a traditional family unit will entail a few bumps in the road. Understanding the life they once came from and the impact it may have had on them is the first step in helping them overcome those difficulties.
