In at least 100 words explain what the concept of American Exceptionalism means and how it first came about.

Answers

Answer:

American exceptionalism is a view of the United States of America that the country sees its history as inherently different from that of other nations, stemming from its emergence from the American Revolution, becoming what the political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset called "the first new nation" and developing a uniquely American ideology, "Americanism", based on liberty, equality before the law, individual responsibility, republicanism, representative democracy, and laissez-faire economics. This ideology itself is often referred to as "American exceptionalism." Second is the idea that America has a unique mission to transform the world. President Abraham Lincoln stated in the Gettysburg address during the American Civil War, in reference to the preservation of the United States itself, Americans have a duty to ensure, "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Third is the sense that America's history and its mission give it a superiority over other nations.

Answer:

American Exceptionalism is a concept that holds the belief that America, as a country, is inherently separate from other nations because of its historical upbringing. Because the country was founded off of the ideas and principles of freedom and breaking off from tyrannical power, a new ideology was brought about called "Americanism," or American Exceptionalism. The terms are also used to describe how America can easily be seen in the act of beginning to change the world with its ideas, culture, and freedoms. Another aspect of American Exceptionalism is the belief that America is superior to other nations because of its history as well as the freedom and power it gives to the people of the nation.

After reading The Scarlet Letter, do you feel that there are any modern-day "scarlet letters" that people are forced to wear or endure? Read the article, "Mental Illness Stigma: Overcoming the ‘Scarlet Letter' of Our Times" and decide if you agree or disagree with the author. Create a 3–5 sentence reflection.

Answers

Answer:

There are scarlet letters today, even in an evolved and modern society.

Explanation:

The term "scarlet letter" refers to a novel of the same name written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, where a woman carried the letter "A" on her chest to show people that she was an outcast of society and thus marginalized her and provoked the embarrassment to her.

Currently, there are "modern escalating letters" that some citizens carry due to factors they have no control over, such as people who suffer from a mental problem or illness and are treated marginally by society, as shown in the article "Mental Illness Stigma: Overcoming the 'Scarlet Letter' of Our Times ". These scarlet letters unfairly define people and prevent them from improving their living conditions, but make them ashamed, sad and often even sicker.

Fortunately, the French had made a number of copies of the inscriptions on the Rosetta Stone. They did this by covering the surface of the Stone with printer's ink, laying a sheet of paper on it, and rolling rubber rollers over it until good, clear impressions were obtained. Based on the word choice in this excerpt, how does Giblin feel about the French attempt to understand the writings on the Rosetta Stone? that it was a waste of time that it was worthwhile that it was impossible that it was amazing

Answers

Answer:

Based on word choice, Giblin feels:

B. that it was worthwhile.

Explanation:

We can easily eliminate options A and C, since there is nothing conveying a negative connotation in the excerpt. We are left with options B and D.

Let's take a look at option D first. It says Giblin thinks the process of obtaining copies of the stone was amazing. However, that is not what the word choice conveys. Had there been words such as "fantastic" or "incredible" in the excerpt, this option would have made sense. But that is not the case.

Option B is the only correct one. The excerpt uses words such as "fortunately", "good", and "clear". Those words convey the idea that the process the French used was worthwhile. It not only worked, but worked well, effectively.

Answer:

B: That it was worthwhile.

Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.

They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,
who showed no will to do us harm, only
offering the sweet Lotus to our friends—
but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus,
never cared to report, nor to return:
they longed to stay forever, browsing on
that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.
I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: All hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.

What do the two animals depicted in Blake’s poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” symbolize? Explain how these depict the contradictions in nature with examples from the poems to support your analysis. Thanks :)

Answers

Answer:

The tiger: theme

The Existence of Evil: the tiger poses a problem: everything about it seems to embody fear, danger, and terror. In a series of questions, the speaker of “The Tyger” wonders whether this creature was really created by the same God who made the world’s gentle and joyful creatures. And if the tiger was created by God, why did God choose to create such a fearsome animal? Through the example of the tiger, the poem examines the existence of evil in the world, asking the same question in many ways: if God created everything and is all-powerful, why does evil exist?

The lamb: "The Lamb," is able to identify God as the creator of the lamb because the small creature seems to represent joy, love, and freedom—but the tiger is an entirely different figure altogether. The poem does imply that God created the tiger too, but in the tiger's threat of violence and capacity for killing, it's harder for human beings to understand God's motivations for creating it. Essentially, the main aim of the poem is to flesh out this mystery, and to hint at possible answers.
