Answer:
National security is an essential factor of any functioning society, but freedom is just as important.After 9/11, security in America was taken to a new level with increased airport safety procedures, a stronger border control, and new security acts being passed.The government did need to take action, such as enforcing stricter airport regulations to better monitor who enters the country. However, they did not need to infringe on American freedoms that were fought so hard for during the Revolutionary War.The USA Patriot Act of 2001 increased the ability of law enforcement officials to search personal information such as telephone calls, e-mails and personal records. It also eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States.While some aspects of the act are necessary, others are not.The Fourth Amendment ensures "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." Listening in on phone calls and going through people's personal e-mails is unreasonable because it will not make America a safer place to live and it infringes on the freedoms the Fourth Amendment guarantees.U.S. intelligence analysts were ordered to continue monitoring phone calls, even when it was clear they posed no threat to America's safety."We identified phone numbers belonging to non-threatening groups, including the Red Cross," said Adrienne Kinne, a former Arab linguist who worked at a National Security Agency facility at Fort Gordon from 2001 to 2003. "We could have blocked their numbers, but we didn't, and we were told to listen to them just in case."American freedoms were being sacrificed to provide security, even when there was no real danger. The people whose phone calls were being monitored posed no threat to America. This was an invasion of their rights as American citizens.Freedom and security need to be balanced, but freedom should not be jeopardized in order to obtain security.In the beginning, America invested in freedom, not the security of what its citizens already knew. And while both are vital to the success of a nation, freedom is the more fundamental, more enduring, and, therefore, more important.Some may argue that, given the current threats to America, the security of the country and its people should take priority over freedoms, no matter the cost.While there are threats to be concerned about, taking away the liberty of the citizens for the sake of security is just giving in to what the terrorists ultimately want: the suppression of America and its people.These acts were supposed to secure the country and offer more protection in the tumultuous atmosphere of World War I. In reality, they not only failed but they tightened the grip that fear held on the nation. Beyond this, the acts dramatically infringed on First Amendment rights, the freedoms that are deeply ingrained in America.And while the freedom versus security debate is centuries old and circumstances have changed countless times, the dilemma is still the same. In a nation where freedom has had such a high value even before the country's birth, it is nearly impossible to place security before liberty.I consider security to be more important than freedom. For a small group of students in my school, the thoughts concerning this topic are so drastically different that it is our policy to refuse to discuss it with others when we know it will start an argument.Freedom and security do not necessarily refer to matters of national importance. They can be used in many situations. For example, when looking for a job, some people consider how secure they will be having a routine 9 to 5 job with little change in schedule. This ensures that their daily needs will be taken care of and they don't need to worry about those.Another extremely important thing having to do with security is a person's romantic relationships. Is it better to date exclusively and to have a steady boyfriend or girlfriend, or to be free to come and go as you please without having a steady relationship in your life? Personally, I'd like to think that because something like marriage exists, security is considered significantly more important to most individuals.
Some people may think that life is pointless if you aren't free to enjoy it. But I disagree. What's the point of being free if you have to live with the constant uncertainty and worry that's caused by a lack of security?
Use Takei's "Why I love a country that once betrayed me" Part B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Part A: which of the following identifies George takei's main claim in the text?
A. While America’s democracy is imperfect, the ideals that the country represents encourage citizens to continue fighting for it.
B. America’s democracy only protects the rights of certain identities, regardless of what they contribute to the nation.
C. The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II proves that the government values the safety of some citizens over others.
D. The government’s actions against Japanese Americans during World War II shows that the United States is not a true democracy.
Part B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A. "Due process, this is a core pillar of our justice system. That all disappeared. We were to be rounded up and imprisoned in 10 barbed-wire prison camps in some of the most desolate places in America: the blistering hot desert of Arizona, the sultry swamps of Arkansas, the wastelands of Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and two of the most desolate places in California."
B. "All men are created equal, we have an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and I couldn't quite make that fit with what I knew to be my childhood imprisonment."
C. "He told me that American democracy is vitally dependent on good people who cherish the ideals of our system and actively engage in the process of making our democracy work."
D. "That act of patriotism was answered with a slap in the face. We were denied service, and categorized as enemy non-alien. It was outrageous to be called an enemy when you're volunteering to fight for your country,"
Answer:
A. While America’s democracy is imperfect, the ideals that the country represents encourage citizens to continue fighting for it.
C. "He told me that American democracy is vitally dependent on good people who cherish the ideals of our system and actively engage in the process of making our democracy work."
Explanation:
George Takei's speech at TEDxKyoto describes how it was only through his father´s words that he could connect their horrible experience of internment along with most Japanese Americans during World War II, and the ideals American democracy was supposed to defend. He came to terms with democracy being as fallible as its people and the need for every citizen to work to make it better.

And then he came. All of a sudden his arm was around my waist so warm and tight and he said very casually, ¨May I skate with you?¨ and then he took my hand. That´s all there was to it. Just that and then we were skating. It wasn´t that I have never skated with a boy before. Don´t be silly. I told you before, I get around. But this was different. He was a big shot up at school and he went to all the big dances and he was the best dancer in town except for Harold Wright who didn´t count because he´d been to college in New York for two years! Don´t you see? This was different.
At first I can´t remember what we talked about. I can´t even remember if we talked at all. We just skated and laughed every time we came to a rough spot and pretty soon we were laughing all the time at nothing at all. It was all so lovely

Colin has £25. Dan takes £yy. How much is left?
Answer:
why does dan take colins money
Explanation:
The amount of money that is left is £25 - £y when Colin has £25 and Dan takes £y.
What is the Subtraction operation?Subtraction is a mathematical operation that deducts the right-hand operand from the left-hand operand.
for example 4 -2 = 2
We have been given that Colin has £25. Dan takes £y
We have to determine the amount of money that is left
As per the given question, the required solution would be as:
If Colin has £25 and Dan takes £y, the amount of money that is left is £25 - £y.
This is because £25 is the original amount of money that Colin has, and £y is the amount that is taken away. When you subtract £y from £25, you are left with the remaining amount of money.
For example, if Dan takes £10, the amount of money that is left is £25 - £10 = £15. If Dan takes £5, the amount of money that is left is £25 - £5 = £20. And so on.

How does the alliteration in line 6 affect the poem's tone? It creates an elusive tone that emphasizes how foreign the moon is. It creates a harsh tone that emphasizes the brightness of the moon. It creates a soft and tranquil tone that emphasizes the moon's quietness. It creates a sinister tone that emphasizes the eeriness of the moon.
Answer:
The alliteration affects the poem's tone because:
It creates a soft and tranquil tone that emphasizes the moon's quietness.
Explanation:
This is the poem we are analyzing:
All up and down the dunes,
the tall green grasses dance,
as the wind plays lively tunes
across the sandy expanse.
But the moon above is a statue,
silent and somber and still,
its reflection on the sea is a tattoo,
that we watch from upon the hill.
To answer this question, we must pay attention to both to the alliteration itself and the general message of the poem, otherwise we might be tempted to choose the option that says the moon is eerie and sinister.
Notice that, in line 6, the alliteration consists of the repetition of the phoneme /s/. This phoneme is often used to convey softness and quietness, or even a sense of soothing.
Besides that, the two stanzas of the poem contrast with each other. The first one describes a lively scene, filled with movement. The second one, on the other hand, emphasizes how quiet, how still the moon is. While the grasses dance and the wind sings, the moon remains silent.
For that reason, the best option is: It creates a soft and tranquil tone that emphasizes the moon's quietness.
Answer:
It creates a soft and tranquil tone that emphasizes the moon's quietness.

plz help i'll choose brainliest
Answer:
D. by explicitly listing other ways of raising money
Explanation:
plato folks
Tricia could strengthen her refutation by explicitly listing other ways to raise money, as shown in option D.
We can arrive at this answer because:
A refutation is an argument that is contrary to another argument that was presented earlier.In this case, the refutation shows that the previous argument is incorrect, or does not present relevant information.For a refutation to be effective, the evidence must be presented that the information in the refutation is correct.In this case, we can affirm that Tricia's refutation would be more efficient and stronger if there was evidence to prove her argument.
This evidence could be presented if she explicitly listed how the city could raise money.
