Animal Farm offers a judgment about the corrupting nature of power. Lord Acton
phrased the same judgment this way: "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts
absolutely." Do you think this is true? Explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The proverbial saying 'power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely' conveys the opinion that, as a person's power increases, their moral sense diminishes. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" is the best known quotation of the 19th century British politician Lord Acton. He borrowed the idea from several other writers who had previously expressed the same thought in different words. Absolute monarchies are those in which all power is given to or, as is more often the case, taken by, the monarch. Examples of absolute power having a corrupting influence are Roman emperors (who declared themselves gods) and Napoleon Bonaparte (who declared himself an emperor).

The origin of 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely'

Lord Acton - the origin of

'Absolute power corrupts absolutely'

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" arose as part of a quotation by the expansively named and impressively hirsute John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834–1902). The historian and moralist, who was otherwise known simply as Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

Answer 2

"Absolute power corrupts completely, and authority seeks to poison itself. Nearly usually, evil men are great men." this was the content of the animal farm.

What is Animal Farm?

Animal Farm's overarching topic is the ability of common people to maintain faith in a movement that was completely betrayed.

"Power tarnishes, and perfect power corrupts completely," Lord Acton According to this saying, people have the propensity to turn corrupt when they hold positions of ultimate control.

One of the famous quotes of the grandly titled and strikingly reminds John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton was, "Ultimate monarchy distorts entirely." In a correspondence to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887, the scholar and philosopher known only as Baron Acton voiced the following viewpoint:

C. Rosetta Stone's use of hieroglyphs to describe life in ancient Egypt.

The Rosetta Stone has Egyptian hieroglyphs, a system of Egyptian writing.  Hieroglyphs are a kind of script made up of small pictures.  This writing system was originally used in ancient Egypt to document religious texts.  They were carved on stones.  Napoleon soldiers first discovered the Rosetta Stone.  But it was later captured by Britain following the defeat of the Napoleonian army in Egypt.  With this stone, historians were able to study the history of ancient Egypt.

Should graffiti be illegal, yes or no? Give reasons or evidence to support your claim.

Answers

Answer:

I do believe graffiti should be illegal.

Explanation:

The official definition of graffiti is, "writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place". Meaning that graffiti is a form of vandalism. And because vandalism is illegal, I don't think any other forms of it should be considered 'ok'. That is my opinion on the subject. Note my 'opinion'.

Answer:

Graffiti that hasn't been approved should be illegal. It cost money to get the graffiti covered or removed. It is considered vandalism anyway when someone pains or draws on someone else property without their approval. So, yes, graffiti should be illegal IF it hasn't been approved by the county or the owners or county area etc.

Use the following excerpt to answer the question.
"To help manage the national government, monarchs hired loyal civil servants typically born in the towns and educated at local universities. Their perspectives were national, not regional. The state, in the person of the monarch, now had sovereignty, or the utmost authority in decision making and in maintaining order. Everyone, including the nobles, was subordinate to that authority. . . .With sovereignty, the monarch now had the right to make laws for the entire nation and all its people."
How did the establishment of nations expand the power and reach of government?

Answers

Answer:

The laws and policies of national governments affected greater numbers of people.

Explanation:

Remember, from the excerpt after telling us the monarch was the only one with authority to make laws, we are told that, "Everyone, including the nobles, was subordinate to that authority,...With sovereignty, the monarch now had the right to make laws for the entire nation and all its people."

In other words, we can say that the type of national government that existed under this system of government was one where everyone or a greater number of people were affected by the laws and policies instituted.

Answers

Answer:

A. The names of the winning couple  are announced—Ryan and Cora.  Cora cries tears of joy.  --> 5. resolution

B. The crowd cheers the couples on  the dance floor. Ryan and Cora are  dancing well, but Cora feels stabs of  pain. Still, she is determined not to  let Ryan down.  --> 3. climax

C. Ryan and Cora walk to the school  gym. They are ready to compete in  the dance contest.  --> 1. exposition

D. Cora sprains her ankle while climbing  the stairs. Ryan gets her an aspirin  from the first aid station.  --> 2. rising action

E. Ryan notices Cora struggling and helps  her by improvising. He performs lifts that  allow Cora to keep her feet off the ground  during the last bit of their performance. --> 4. falling action

Explanation:

Exposition is the very beginning a story, where the author introduces the characters, the setting and other elements or pieces of information that will contextualize the story.

Rising action takes place after the introduction, the exposition. It is usually an event in a plot that creates the condition for conflicts to appear.

Climax is the moment of most tension in the plot, when the biggest conflict needs to be solved by the main characters.

Falling action is the opposite of rising action, taking place after the climax and being characterized by a decrease in tension. We can already see where things are going to end.

Finally, resolution is the conclusion of the story, its closing.

Let's put each part of the story in its correct place so that you can see how the plot unfolds according to the explanation above:

C. Ryan and Cora walk to the school  gym. They are ready to compete in  the dance contest.  --> 1. exposition

D. Cora sprains her ankle while climbing  the stairs. Ryan gets her an aspirin  from the first aid station.  --> 2. rising action

B. The crowd cheers the couples on  the dance floor. Ryan and Cora are  dancing well, but Cora feels stabs of  pain. Still, she is determined not to  let Ryan down.  --> 3. climax

E. Ryan notices Cora struggling and helps  her by improvising. He performs lifts that  allow Cora to keep her feet off the ground  during the last bit of their performance. --> 4. falling action

A. The names of the winning couple  are announced—Ryan and Cora.  Cora cries tears of joy.  --> 5. resolution

Answer:

How are the Novel and Movie different from each other in The Boy in The Striped Pajamas?

Answers

Answer:well in the movie it leaves out some parts that are in the novel pleas tell me if I need to be more specific

Explanation:

There are two major differences, the ending and the POV of the stories.

In the book, everything is told from Bruno’s perspective and he really knows nothing about the horrors of the camps and the Holocaust. In the movie, its told by a 3rd person POV.

In the ending of the book, no one knows what happened to Bruno. Elsa and Gretel head home but weeks later they find Bruno’s clothes near the camp. In the movie, Gretel and Elsa have a huge search through the camp to try and find Bruno. At the end they find his clothes and a hole dug under the fence, that’s how they found out he died.

There were a lot of other changes. One was, in the movie Lieutenant Kotler was sent away because Brunos dad found out his father fled the country at the start of the war, making him potential unfaithful to the Nazis. In the book, it was implied that Elsa was having an affair with Kotler. Bruno’s dad found out about the affair and sent him away.
