Explanation:

Answer 2

Based on details in the passage,Steinbeck  is showing  how the Joads are just one family among many suffering from corporate greed.

What is greed?

Greed is an uncontrolled longing for increase in the acquisition or use of material gain  or social value, such as status, or power. Greed has been identified as undesirable throughout known human history because it creates behavior-conflict between personal and social goals.

The initial motivation for (or purpose of) greed and actions associated with it may be the promotion of personal or family survival. It may at the same time be an intent to deny or obstruct competitors from potential means or future opportunities; therefore being insidious or tyrannical and having a negative connotation. Alternately, the purpose could be defense or counteractive response to such obstructions being threatened by others. But regardless of purpose, greed intends to create an inequity of access or distribution to community wealth.

Who is Adam? Why does the first Gravedigger say Adam was a gentlemen

Answers

Answer:

Adam is the first man on earth created by God (in the book of Genesis) and kept in the Garden of Eden.

And to the first gravedigger, Adam was a gentleman because he worked with his own tools and labor to survive instead of depending on others.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the revenge tragic play of Hamlet and his want to avenge his father's wrongful death. The play focuses on issues such as loyalty, greed, right and wrong, honor, religion, and death.

Act V scene i of the play shows two gravediggers digging a grave for the dead Ophelia who had killed herself. They began to discuss and argue about what type of burial she will get and how it all is a corrupt system. Anyone who commits sui cide is not worthy of getting a Christian burial but considering Ophelia and her family who are influential and rich, she will be given one despite the condition of her death. And in this discourse, the first gravedigger mentioned how Adam was also an aristocrat, for "He was the first that ever bore arms" and dug. According to him, Adam's profession of tilling the ground with his own hard work is an aristocratic status, one who works for his life, rather than depending on or feeding off others' hard work.

In this scene, the Adam referred to is the first man created by God and kept in the Garden of Eden. And according to the first gravedigger, he (Adam) was a gentleman/ aristocrat because he worked for himself and not depend on others for his survival.

I personally would've done these two things:

Publically order Gates, Fauci, and all other traitors complicit in this Rothschild NWO public conditioning project to public hanging.

There is without a doubt in any thinking man's mind, that what's happening is a multi-purpose project in order to inflict damage on our society. I mean, come on, they can't even hold up the narrative that it originated in a Wuhan food plant, or that it even isn't man-made or just a natural occurrence. Personal example, both of my 80 year old grandmothers, one of which smoked for decades, got over their illness that took their taste and smell in a week! Same goes for myself, less than a week! The economic damage, baseless tyrannical measures, supply chain issues, increased self harm rate, and social polarization and havoc this pandemic has caused clearly isn't worth a "pandemic" with a fatality rate under 1% just like any other illness such as the flu.

The solution to this communist plan is to completely take up arms to take back and restore our now corrupt political systems and take power away from the Talmudic Edomite Jews who have been infiltrating our governments for all of history, even as the Pharisees did in biblical times, and we'd make sure not to allow their return or make them equal again. No, in all seriousness, there will be probably worse done.

should hate speech be regulated? (in a 5 page essay form)

Answers

Answer:

There is no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment. Contrary to a common misconception, most expression one might identify as “hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment and cannot lawfully be censored, punished, or unduly burdened by the government — including public colleges and universities.

Answer:

Explanation:

Hate speech is a controversial and often misinterpreted term for speech intended to degrade, intimidate, or incite violence or prejudicial action against an individual or a group of individuals based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or disability. The term has been taken to cover written as well as oral communication.

My starting position is that hate speech is not just one thing; there can be at least four categories of hate speech that we can address.

By the end of this essay I hope to have shown sufficiently which, if any, types of hate speech could be protected by the right of free speech.

Right to free speech and expression

Perhaps in a different era, the two could be seen as distinct, not just by name, but also in context.[1]

The right of free speech is a human, political or civil right recognised and appreciated by states and their citizens. It is the right to communicate one’s opinions and ideas using one’s body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them. It was included in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.[2]

Although freedom of expression is sometimes used within an identical context, it nevertheless includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.

Perhaps the most commonly cited definition is the one given by the United Nations in Art.19 of their UDHR[3] adopted in 1948.[4]

Along the same lines, Art.10 of theECHR[5]provides the right to freedom of expression, subject to certain restrictions that are “in accordance with law” and “necessary in a democratic society”.

It is important to appreciate that the two are largely intertwined, and to be read separately would be of no particular value or help. For the purposes of this essay, I shall regard the two rights as two faces on the same side of a coin.
