Explanation:
Indeed, this beautifully piece written by Machiavelli to the Prince named, Lorenzo de’ Medici shows his attempts at selling his text or we may say the views in his text to the Prince.
In that letter Machiavelli stated, “to comprehend fully the nature of people, one must be a prince, and to comprehend fully the nature of princes one must be an ordinary citizen.”
Thus, Machiavelli implied that he had some knowledge not possessed by the Medici.
“Every good conversation starts with good listening.” explain in 50 - 60 words
Answer:
Imagine you are in a room full of people trying to have a conversation with someone. Thirty seconds into the conversation you realize the person is not really listening to what you are saying. Instead, they are actually starting to look over your shoulder to see if there are others they might want to connect with in the room. You keep trying to connect, hoping to engage in an exchange of thoughts or experiences, but the other person soon finds the next person they want to talk with and offers you a superficial, "It was good to talk with you," and moves on. If you are like me, you have had the experience of this kind of "pseudo conversation" more times then you care to remember. And again, if you are like me, you have also been the person looking around the room and pretending to be listening, more times than you care to admit.
One of the reasons I believe that deep, authentic listening is rare is because it is challenging to actually do. It takes time, discipline, intention, and effort to be fully present to another person when they are speaking to us. We have to truly focus our attention so that we are not distracted by what is going on around us. We have to quiet ourselves internally, so that we are not distracted by our own thoughts and concerns. We have to listen in order to truly understand, instead of simply listening in order to respond. We have to avoid the temptation to steer the conversation back to our lives and our concerns. And we have to offer the other the gift of our time.

Answer:
Answer:When you think about The Odyssey, one name comes to mind, and that name is Odysseus. He’s the obvious hero of this story. However, his wife Penelope is just as much a hero as he is. She is a hero because she waited for her husband’s return and she took care of the house while he was away. Although Penelope’s whole hero journey is not told to the audience, you can see the similarities about their journeys by what is said. These two characters are very clever. Determination and persistence are two qualities that Odysseus and Penelope share. All Odysseus wants is to return home to his kingdom, wife, and son. All Penelope wants is for her husband to return home and their family to be reunited. They are both strong-willed leaders and loyal to those they care about and those who work for them. They are generous in their daily actions.
Penelope is very clever and plans long term just like Odysseus did. Odysseus is clever when he meets the Cyclops and tells him his name is Nobody. Once he and his men stab him in his eye, Polyphemus starts screaming “Nobody’s killing me now by fraud and not by force!” .Polyphemus was once told of a prophecy that a man named Odysseus would kill him. By telling the Cyclops that his name was Nobody, this long term plan kept Odysseus and his crew alive a few days longer. Penelope is clever too when she comes up with the shroud plan. Her husband has been gone for over twenty years and the people of Ithaca want a new king. Penelope is slowly starting to give up hope that her husband will return one day. While they’re suitors in her palace trying to win over her heart, she tells them she cannot marry until she has weaved a shroud in Odysseus’s honor. What the suitors don’t realize is that she undoes all of the progress she’s made for that day, so that the shroud will never be finished and she won’t have to remarry any of these men. This long term plan is buying herself time.
When Odysseus returns as the beggar and Penelope figures it out she comes up with a cunning plan. She tells the suitors that whoever can string Odysseus’s bow and shoot it through twelve arrows will win her heart. The audience is shown how clever she truly is. Her perceptiveness has helped her to figure out that Odysseus is the beggar. She knows that if he can string the bow he can win her back and have a fair shot at fighting the suitors.
Odysseus and Penelope are both strong-minded leaders and very loyal. Penelope has the opportunity to remarry but chooses to believe that one day her husband will return, even though it’s been twenty years. She chooses to remain loyal. She shows her headstrong personality by taking care of the house while her husband is away. She also raises her son as a single mother and simultaneously takes care of her kingdom. She has disloyal servants and yet she still remains loyal to them. This mirrors Odysseus’s loyalty when he personally goes after his crew to save them from becoming addicted to the island's locus.
Another heroic trait that Penelope has is her generosity. When Odysseus was disguised as the beggar, Penelope took a special interest in him. You can only imagine how many beggars came to her home daily. She was always generous to them by feeding them, but after they were finished they’d leave. Odysseus, however, received special treatment. She has a meeting with him. She tells her maid, Eurycleia, “…wash the stranger and make his bed, with bedding, blankets and lustrous spreads to keep him warm…”. Her generosity shows her kind-hearted spirit.
Penelope has endured a lot of hardship just like her husband has. Both of these characters heroic journeys had many similarities. They were leaders and they were loyal. They were clever in their strategic planning. She is a woman but she is a strong leader and a ruler. She is strong-willed but shows her soft side. This is what makes Penelope such a good hero.

What theme about tradition and community does this poem convey?
Read the poem "Without Title" by diane glancy.
It's hard you know without the buffalo,
the shaman,[1] the arrow,
but my father went out each day to hunt
as though he had them.
He worked in the stockyards.
All his life he brought us meat.
No one marked his first kill,
no one sang his buffalo song.
Without a vision[2] he had migrated to the city
and went to work in the packing house.
When he brought home his horns and hides
my mother said
get rid of them.
I remember the animal tracks of his car
backing out the drive in snow and mud,
the aerial[3] on his old car waving
like a bow string.
I remember the silence of his lost power,
the red buffalo painted on his chest.
Oh, I couldn't see it
but it was there, and in the night I heard
his buffalo grunts like a snore.
Answer:
This poem is especially pertinent in the sphere of tradition and community. Specifically, this poem has to do with the modernization of Native communities in today's world. We all come from different families, and I think we can all relate to the father who brought home his horns and hides. There are always people who want to preserve their own culture, so it won't fade into obscurity; this archetype obviously fits the father like a glove. the mother seems to have some deep reservations about her own culture and wants to reject it. It is interesting to see these two different schools of thought battle each other out in the poem in front of us. This poem addresses the question of the importance of Native culture; how it needs to exist through these changing times. I hope this helps :)

Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative.
Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing.

What does this selection suggest Jimmy’s next step will be?
The correct answer is D. He will go back to his criminal ways
Explanation:
In the excerpt presented, it is described Jimmy took his suitcase and this contained "the finest set of burglar's tools in the East", which shows Jimmy is preparing to be once again a thief or commit crimes. This idea is reinforced by the detail "I don't understand. I am representing the New York..." because this shows Jimmy has dressed in a special way to pretend to be a businessman and in this way commit a crime. According to this, it is likely the next step of Jimmy is to go back to his criminal ways.
according to author stephan covey affective communication is driven by:
Answer:
Sharing your insights with others to make sure they know the right way to do things" "Getting your point across" "Knowing best how to direct a conversation" "Seeking first to understand, then to be understood
Answer:
Effective communication is driven by seeking to understand others first, and then respectfully seek to have them understand you.
Explanation:
Covey refers to it as "Empathetic Listening." We should listen with the intent to understand. Let the other person know that you are interested in what they have to say, and want to understand their ideas-- without judging, evaluating, advising.
Once you have listened, you should reflect their feelings and words. Then you may be able to agree on some points, ask clarifying questions, and then express your own ideas seeking to be understood.
write an article for publication in national news paper, outline three outline three reasons why betting should be banned in your area
Answer:
In simple words, Gambling brought people with hardly any resources who are eager to make a bonanza; individuals want it when a fast profit is predicted. Betting can be created to take an unnecessary risk, aiming for an unreasonable benefit well above what the expenditure of time , energy, or ability can justify.
Gambling is addicted like that. In contrast to medications, betting is not visually toxic but mentally intoxicating. A lot of people probably wind up sports betting to try to get the money they've already managed to lose.
Gambling encourages unhealthful values. It's what causes kids focus on earning prizes. It suggests that material objects should be respected over such items such as partnerships and family. It also gives the signal that performance is not automatically a product of talent and commitment.

Compare and contrast ancient tales "the brave little parrot " and " if not higher".Explain specific moral,spritual and ethical aspects of human life both these ancient tales emphasize on?
Answer:
"The brave little parrot" and "If not higher"
"The brave little parrot" was a Buddha in an animal form. It understands that love is the foundation of being. This is why it was inspired to put a drop of the ocean to extinguish the fire burning a whole forest with all the animals in desperate need. It did not seek for advice on how and how not to stop the burning forest. It acted with its little efforts and found benevolence when the great God saw its efforts and rewarded it with bountiful tears as rain.
"If not higher" shows that the Rabbi did not disappear into heaven during the Penitential service but went to the wood to cut firewood for some sick woman who needed some warmth. He indeed went into the highest heavens, where love reigns supreme. He was not asking for advice or money in return for his kindness. He just needed somebody to open her doors to receive love.
These two ancient tales have some moral, spiritual, and ethical teachings in common.
From them one can learn that there is the need to make a difference in our world. We should not wait till we have it all before we can start making efforts. Our little efforts can "inspire greater forces to come to our aid."
It is morally, ethically, and spiritually better to show little kindness and love. We should not waste our time in offering long prayers and advise. Instead of these, let us use our time to live out our beliefs. We can still say our prayers while we are engaged in our labor of love. God is only present where there is love. To make God truly present in our world, we should embrace love. And it is not only our friends and family that we should love, we should love our friends too and do acts of love for them.
Our actions speak louder than our words. Our life can be the only Bible somebody may read today. Some people engage in long speeches when all that is required is to move the finger to do some good work in the life of others. We are not reduced by the love we show other people. Instead, we are increased and God is most honored by such love, because God is love.
Explanation:
"The brave little parrot" was a 1998 children novel by Martin Rafe. It is didactic, teaching children that there is sharing in love and love in sharing. It is just like the earlier short story by Isaac Leibush Peretz about the disappearance of the Rabbi during the Penitential service, and how he went "if not higher" than heaven by going out to show concern and love.

There was a time when robots and home automation were just a fantasy. Robots were found only in
science fiction and home automation was limited to cartoon families who had every convenience at their
fingertips. Meals arrived with a simple push of a button. A robot maid performed every task humans
didn't care to do. Today, these once visionary ideas have become reality.
In factories, robots perform hazardous tasks; in homes, they vacuum the floor. Houses can now lock
themselves and lights are programmed to turn off and on automatically. In hospitals, doctors use robots to
perform surgery. Cars that drive themselves are in development. As automated machines and robots take
on more human tasks, there are serious questions to consider. What will become of society if robots do all
the work? Will humans become too dependent on machines and lose the ability to do things for
themselves? Will robots eventually become smarter than humans?

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
Read this thesis statement: "Heart of Darkness plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo." What is wrong with it?:
A) It is too narrow.
B) It is a plot summary.
C) It is too obvious.
D) It is not supported by the text.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) It is too narrow.
Explanation:
As we know, this story is narrated by the protagonist, Charlie Marlow, who tells us of the journey he made going up a tropical river to locate a certain Kurtz, an elusive and legendary explorer who, according to his superiors, seems to have entrenched himself deep inside from the jungle. Soon the journey turns into a multi-troubled journey, with mystery and degradation growing as the legend of Lord Kurtz enlarges and takes shape.
The novel is based on a true story in the life of Conrad, who sailed up the Congo River as a ship captain in 1890 while working for the SGB company. There, amid the exploitation and genocide that the settlers carried out in the Congo Free State - the private preserve of King Leopold II of Belgium - Conrad was truly traumatized, wanting to relate the horror of his experience in a book in which, on the other hand, and despite the parallels between author and protagonist, no real places or characters are mentioned.
Just using the phrase "plunges the narrator into the depths of the Congo" is too vague to describe the actual plot. Therefore, answer A is correct.

The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes.
