What cannot you and I perform upon
The unguarded Duncan? what not put upon
His spongy officers; who shall bear the guilt
Of our great quell?
The skepticism is characterized by an atittude of doubting, questioning and/or not believing something or someone.
As we can see in “Of Cannibals”, Montaigned used skepticism to justify his arguments on his opinion about clever people. For instance:
1) “They never show you things as they are” – The author also said that clever people “cannot help altering history a little”, and then he says that they never show things as they really are; meaning that since he believes that clever people tend to change facts and information, the consequence of it is that their speech isn’t 100% honest. Therefore, he is skeptical when it comes to the true nature of those facts.
2) (...) And to give credence to their judgement and attract you to it, they are prone to add something to the matter, to strecht it out or amplify it” – Now the author claims that clever people try to convince others by adding details or facts to what actually happened. He believes that once the fact is amplified, it gets more attention and credit. In this case, he is being skeptical in regards to judgements and opinions, suggesting that clever people aren’t really honest in their judgements as they want others to “buy their ideas” and because of it they will tell things in a way that will persuade people to do what they want and believe what they say.
The incorrect answer would be that the pronoun “he” should be changed to they”. The pronoun “he” should be changed to “him”
<span>A person’s interpersonal life is dependent on that person’s facility for making his or her
thoughts, feelings, and needs known to others and on that person’s receptiveness to the
attempts of others to share similar data with him or her. Communication, a multifaceted
phenomenon, is the result of efforts by individuals toward this end. Communication can
be considered in simplistic terms as the sending and receiving of messages, as both
elements must be present for communication to take place. However, the fundamental
transaction of message sent and received does not presuppose that communication has
occurred. Often, it has only partially occurred or has been aborted entirely as a result of
the circumstances surrounding the occasion when the communication attempt was made.
These circumstances may be environmental, emotional, verbal-skill oriented,
phenomenological, or resulting from a host of conditions present within the individuals
who are attempting to relate.</span>
