what does the text of paragraphs 11 and 12 indicate about the purpose, audience, and message of Shapiro's essay?​

Answers

Answer 1

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here are the paragraphs under consideration from (The Lesson of Salem: Taken from Newsweek, August 31, 1992, by Laura Shapiro):

"Today many scholars believe it was clinical hysteria that set off the girls in Tituba's kitchen. Fits, convulsions, vocal outbursts, feelings of being pinched and bitten-all of these symptoms have been witnessed and described, most often in young women, for centuries.

Sometimes the seizures have been attributed to Satan, other times to God, but ever since Freud weighed in, hysteria has been traced to the unconscious. As Dr. Richard Pohl, of Salem Hospital,  told a Tercentenary symposium, hysteria "can mimic all the physical diseases known to man,"  and occurs when repressed thoughts and emotions burst forth and take over the body. Life could be dreary for girls in 17th-century Salem: their place was home and their duty was obedience;  many were illiterate, and there were few outlets for a youthful imagination except in the grim lessons of Puritan theology. Dabbling in magic in the reverend's own kitchen would have been wonderfully scary, perhaps enough to release psychic demons lurking since childhood.

Explanation:

From the text above we could observe that the author tries to give a medical explanation of what happened in Salem so as not to put the blame entirely on the girls.

Remember, in Salem, many women were accused of deliberately practicing witchcraft. However, by quoting a medical professional (Dr. Richard Pohl, of Salem Hospital), commenting about the medical condition "hysteria", who said, "hysteria "can mimic all the physical diseases known to man," In other words, the women were mere victims of emotional and psychological distresses.

Describe the effects of low work wage and high inflation in 1948.

Answers

Answer:Most Americans believe that a rising tide should lift all boats—that as the economy expands, everybody should reap the rewards. And for two-and-a-half decades beginning in the late 1940s, this was how our economy worked. Over this period, the pay (wages and benefits) of typical workers rose in tandem with productivity (how much workers produce per hour). In other words, as the economy became more efficient and expanded, everyday Americans benefited correspondingly through better pay. But in the 1970s, this started to change.

A letter to pacify the father and suggest what you think can be done to Salvage the situation is written below.

Explanation:

Dear Uncle,

I believe you are doing well. It has been a difficult time for all of us and we are running with the course. I just discovered the unexpected announcement of my cousin sister and would like to accord something.

I know you are disturbed and irritated over the announcement of her pregnancy but these circumstances need to be handled with patience. Throwing her out of the home won't be a good resolution, instead, it will generate a bigger difficulty for your family. I would recommend you sit and have a conversation with her. Since she is too little, abortion would be a good choice. Also, retaining the story within the family is extremely needed now.

Your harsh response can only worsen the condition. It's better not to handle her so cruel as it will influence her well-being and she might end up taking the illegal step. Please discuss the doctor first and choose something before it's too late. Take care!

Yours lovingly,

Read Commentary: American flag stands for tolerance , by Ronald J. Allen

Allen concludes his editorial: "With controversy comes debate, enlightenment and renewed commitment. Perhaps, then, we are in the court’s debt for not treating the flag-burning case like the simple case it is. Let the controversy rage. After all, it is in robust debate that we are most true to ourselves."

Why is it difficult for scholars, judges, and lawmakers to balance robust speech protections with the necessity of maintaining a peaceful society? Provide evidence, examples, and/or scenarios.

Answer:

Allen states that tolerance is at the center of the debate. While those against the Court´s decision claim that a message can be sent in more peaceful ways, those who support it consider that a different outcome would be a governmental intrusion in political speech and a violation of the 1st amendment. Although Allen clearly states his support of the resolution, he does consider that the debate is necessary to further develop tolerance and a better understanding between the opposing positions.

Explanation:

The author refers to a case of flag burning that had the Supreme Court ruling that people have the right to do such a thing to protest against the government.

how does the author illustrate that communism has been largely unsuccessful in the countries that have adopted it

Answers

Answer:

The author illustrated that communism has been largely unsuccessful in the countries that adopted it by citing the examples of Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union and Mao Zedong of China whose reigns as communist leaders resulted in mass killings, oppression of opposers, and dictatorship instead of the equity and equality that a communist society should be known for.  

Explanation:

The article, 'An Introduction to Communism', by Jessica McBirney explained that the most prominent founding father of the ideology of communism was Karl Marx. Marz envisioned a society in which the workers would form a revolution against the ruling class because they felt that they were being oppressed. Such revolutions did occur in Russia leading to the formation of the Soviet Union, as well as China.

However, the leaders of these societies did not really practice ideal communism for their rulerships were marked by the mass killing of political dissenters, and dictatorship by the rulers instead of the equality of social classes that Karl Marx proposed.
