What Benefits and Drawbacks Does Collectivism Offer? The appeal of collectivism is that collective advances and gains result from personal sacrifice. The drawback of collectivism is that it frequently results in the individual suppressing his or her own interests and failing to reach their full potential.

3. Reflect on the Langston Hughes poem Silence. Identify some evidence in the poem that explains OR describes something about main character Ned. Include specific evidence from the text. Write 3-4 sentences.
Answer: In the Code Talker Ned was a navajos and he wanted to learn about white people culture, language, but I think Ned didn’t know how to speak in english, so I think he decided to become a code talker. In the poem it says, I catch the pattern of your silences before you speak, which means he didn’t know white’s people language to learn about them but he still was successful in his work. For example, Ned is a Navajo Indian who is very intelligent. He loves to study and would like to be a teacher when he grows up. Instead he is planning on fighting in the war. Ned becomes a Marine at age 16 and he becomes a Code Talker.
: Ned was a navajos in the Code Talker and he tried to know about the world of white people, the language, but I don't think Ned understood how to speak English, so I think he preferred to become a code speaker. In the poem it says, before you speak, I catch the pattern of your silences, which means that he did not know the language of white people to learn about them but he was still successful in his work. For instance, Ned is a very knowledgeable Navajo Indian. He loves to study and, when he grows up, wants to be a teacher. Instead he is planning a battle. By the age of 16 Ned becomes a Sailor, and becomes a Code Talker.
Answer:
Well, here's the poem:
"I catch the pattern
Of your silence
Before you speak
I do not need
To hear a word.
In your silence
Every tone I seek
Is heard."
This implies that though Ned doesn't know English, he can still use Code Talk.
Sorry if this doesn't help much... :)

in the country of the blind what is the main reason that the people of the valley do not believe nunez when he tries to explain the world of sighted humans?
Answer:
Because they refused to think that an outside world existed that can help them, as they have lost the sense of their sight since fourteen generations.
Explanation:
"The Country of the Blind" is a short story penned by H. G. Wells. The story is about a man named Nunez, a one-eyed man, who finds a 'country of the blind' at the far sight of the mountain.
When Nunez tries to explain to the people of the 'country of the blind' about an outside, they do not believed him. The 'country of the blind' has been separated by the outside world after an earthquake struck the valley reshaping the mountain that completely cut off the valley from the outside world. All the people of the valley are born blind since then in the 'country of the blind.'
Since fourteen generations the people of the valley lived their which slowly adapted them to think that even if there is an outside world. So, they refused to think that there can be an outside world to help them.

Write a 4 paragraph persuasive essay.
Subject: Keep Our Town Clean (Persuasive)
Prompt: You have been noticing that the amount of litter in your town has been increasing. Everywhere you go, you can see cans, bottles, plastic bags, and other trash littering the streets.
Write a research based essay informing members of your community about the impact that litter has on your community and urging members of your community to help keep your town clean.
Use specific reasons and examples to convince your audience to work toward a cleaner town.
Answer:
We should prevent littering ourselves and help clean up the environment around us when we see litter! Litter is very bad for the Earth, humans, animals, and the economy. Keep reading this essay to find out why!
Litter kills animals, an example we all know about is the dying population of sea turtles due to plastic in the ocean. Animals in general try to eat litter, which can hurt their digestive system resulting in death at times or they get trapped in litter such as plastic bags, resulting in suffocation.
Litter is also bad for the community because it wastes our natural resources. We waste paper all the time, instead of recycling it. This is killing trees unnecessarily. Trees are good for our environment, they provide oxygen for us and shelter to many little creatures who are all essential to our food chain. Save the trees please, use recycling bins, reuse paper bags!
Litter such as glass, can result in less people wanting to go to certain areas such as beaches where people drop their beer when they're done instead of bringing it to the bins. This hurts humans economically and physically sometimes! Tourists are essential revenue to some cities, and humans can cut their feet on glass. Throw away your bottles and litter always!

The statement that best describes a common human experience as a theme of this reading selection
What is jealousy?Jealousy is a complicated emotion that includes emotions like mistrust, fury, fear, and shame. It affects people of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations and is most frequently sparked when a person feels threatened by a third party in a valued connection. The danger might be actual or hypothetical.
It's common to think about jealousy in the context of romantic relationships. The feeling, though, may appear in practically any kind of human connection, from colleagues seeking to win over a respected boss to siblings vying for parental attention.
Even though it is a terrible feeling, evolutionary psychologists believe that jealousy is a signal or a wake-up call that a valuable connection is in jeopardy and that action is required to win back a partner's or friend's devotion. Because it sustains social links and encourages people to act in ways that preserve significant relationships, envy is therefore viewed as an essential emotion.
