Write an argumentative essay for or against always telling the truth, even in situations that may be hurtful to others.
Pls make it about always lying.
Needs to be 2 paragraphs.

Answers

Answer:

Ok so i am against telling the truth and telling the truth i am for both this is because in a life or death situation sometimes you have to lie. But when your telling the truth less punishments come your way The truth is essential to all of humanity. Without it, society would be in a world full of chaos. Not only would trust fall apart, but exaggerated denial, deception, and the fear of love would come into play. Lying will always come with an expense.

Without truth, there is no trust. People will lose faith and know to never trust you again, which down the road can lead to trust issues in people close to them such as family members, friends, or lovers.

Even if a situation that may be harmful to someone else, consider it in a way that if they were to be lied to it'd make it even worse. Self-confidence would diminish and they could find themselves in a state of loneliness and misunderstanding.

Lying leads to worse cases than negative truths. Take for example, a boy wants to be become a musician. He always hits the wrong note when trying to play a g-chord, and so he becomes upset and asks if he's bad. A girl replies, "No, you're amazing!" and he continues pursuing a career choice without fixing his mistakes, ending up costing him the career.

The truth may hurt, but it is nothing compared to deception. No matter the case, cause, or correlation, honesty should always come first regardless of the situation.

Read the excerpt from The War of the Worlds. A large portion of the cylinder had been uncovered, though its lower end was still embedded. As soon as Ogilvy saw me among the staring crowd on the edge of the pit he called to me to come down, and asked me if I would mind going over to see Lord Hilton, the lord of the manor. The growing crowd, he said, was becoming a serious impediment to their excavations, especially the boys. Which context clues effectively help indicate the meaning of the word excavations as it is used in the excerpt

Answers

This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online; they are the following:

(Select all that apply)

edge of the pit

among the staring crowd

had been uncovered

was still embedded

Answer:

The context clues which effectively indicate the meaning of "excavations" are:

edge of the pit

had been uncovered

was still embedded

Explanation:

"War of the Worlds" is a science-fiction book by H. G. Wells. The plot concerns a Martian invasion of our planet.

The space ships sent to Earth by the Martians are shaped like cylinders. Instead of landing softly, they do it quite forcefully, so part of the cylinder ends up buried in the ground. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the cylinder is being excavated, that is, dug up. Even if the reader does not know the meaning of the word "excavations" as it is used in the excerpt, he can infer it from the clues:

edge of the pit

had been uncovered

was still embedded

The clues above help readers visualize the half-buried space ship and understand that some of it has already been dug up.

2. Which of these is an example of hubris?

Odysseus weeps for his wife and son while imprisoned on Ogygia.
Odysseus keeps his focus on getting back to Ithaca.
After escaping, Odysseus continues to taunt Polyphemus and brags about his exploits.

Answers

Answer:

After escaping, Odysseus continues to taunt Polyphemus and brags about his exploits.

Explanation:

The term "hubris" refers to the quality of a person in having or exhibiting extreme pride and ambition in his/her own actions and abilities. This personality quality of a person, in the over-confidence of a person, will oftentimes lead to an inescapable downfall later on.

In the epic "The Odyssey" by Homer, hubris is one character trait of Odysseus. One such example is when they were on the island of Polyphemus. After 'stealing' from Polyphemus, Odysseus lost many of his men to the cyclops. But despite that, he brags about his 'loot' and even taunts the one-eyes monster. He knows that it was against the wish of the gods to get involved or 'disturb' the cyclops, and that 'looting' a demi-god was against the rules, Odysseus couldn't help but brag about it, his bravery and ability in escaping the clutches of the demi-god.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

1. Discuss the conflict experienced between Shylock and Antonio. How did this conflict impact the text?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The conflict between Shylock and Antonio in the Merchant of the Venice(by William Shakespeare) emanates from Antonio's anti-semitic disposition towards Shylock and Shylock's equal hatred for Christians. Shylock is a Jewish money lender(usances as it is called in the text) while Antonio is a Christian. Antonio curses Shylock for being an unbeliever and also a money lender while he also needs to borrow money from him. Shylock, amid a conflict and in his hatred for Antonio's belief, grants Antonio the loan on the condition that a failure to repay would be paid with Antonio's pound of flesh. Shylock berates him for anti-Semitism where he says:

"Signior Antonio, many a time and oft

In the Rialto you have rated me About my moneys and my usances

Still have I borne it with a patient shrug, For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.

You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog,

And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine, And all for use of that which is mine own."

The resultant effect of Antonio and Shylock's conflict is a much larger conflict between the Jews and Christians

What is the Friar pondering at the beginning of scene 3 and how does it contribute to the overall themes/ideas of the play?

Answers

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question is related, which prevents it from being answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to answer your question by reading the play completely. By doing the reading you will be able to identify the themes that the play presents. These themes are the main subjects covered, that is, they are the subjects that the author wanted to expose during the exhibition of the play. "Romeo and Juliet," for example, portrays themes such as the inevitability of fate and the violence of forbidden love.

In this case, by recognizing the themes presented in the play, you will be able to identify how Friar's behavior, in the play that your question refers to, manages to address these themes. Using "Romeo and Juliet" as another example, we can see that when helping Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence addresses the theme of the inevitability of destiny, as he believes that it is the destiny of young people to be together and that is why he decides to help them.

summarize FDR's press release. Then, answer the following questions:

Based on the press release, what is FDR's expectation of how the war will end? What specific examples of his language indicate his beliefs about who will be victorious?
Soldiers themselves, world leaders, and the general population of other countries expressed shock at the degree of abuse inflicted on the Jews and other minorities after the war ended. This press release makes it clear that reports came in early, so what do you think contributed to the shock? Why was the discovery so difficult when reports were already enough to put together a panel to prosecute war criminals?
Consider how information usually got reported during WWII; how might the world's shock at the war crimes be related to the ways that Wiesel described his community being unprepared for the reality of relocation because of the reports they received about the war ending soon?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There are several factors involved in the answer to this. It is mind blowing to say the least.

1. Imagine yourself listening to the news. Would you be interested in this one press release. If you say yes, then you have to consider Vietnam very carefully. Vietnam was on the news night after night. People were glued to their TVs to see what atrocities were being dug up. Not only that, but American body bags arrive in every state in the Union. Still there was a massive split in the country for the war and against it. Young people refused to go to there because they knew their chances of being unscathed was small. Now here's the question. Yes FDR made his position very clear, but who read it? Why would they care, when mother's wept openly about their sons dying in the Pacific and in Europe. That's what people were concerned about. And avenging Pearl Harbor was upmost in their mind.

2. I only have time for one more point. Think about anti Semitism. Do you think America and any part of Europe was free of it? I propose not. Sir Martin Gilbert was the master historian of the Holocaust. He wrote a book entirely about those who helped the Jewish people. He knew of 10000 different cases including 2 dogs one of whom was shot because he would not attack Jewish refugees. Many of the 10000 refused to talk about their experiences during the war because they said openly that they would be attacked for helping helping Jews. Many books have been written about the Holocaust and its aftermath and even into this century we have people that have denied it ever happened. I don't know what to tell you to read. If you are a college student, prowl around in your library or search for the Holocaust on the internet. It's a very depressing subject. You'll likely come across other Holocausts. It's hard to believe sometimes, that we are human, and not beasts.
