You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation".

Answer:

With the use of oxymoron, Turkle meant that we live constantly alone, but always in "contact" with the people we care about through technology. This statement influences the entire article showing how this ability is affecting our personal relationships.

Explanation:

The article shows how technology has enabled an atificial and shallow form of community. This is because technology allows us to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world, however, this communication does not form bonds and we are always alone.

However, we are alone in a collective way, since all people use this same type of communication. This results in the creation of large groups, which in fact do not exist, are not substantial. As the author of the article says, technology makes us come "a tribe of one."

In at least one hundred words, explain why Animal Farm was NOT an initial success in Britain?​
AleksandrR [38]

Answer and explanation:

Animal Farm was not an initial success in Britain because of the critics it represented. The author, George Orwell, wrote it during the Second World War. In the novel <u>Orwell criticizes soviet leader Iósif Stalin and Russian’s totalitarianism.</u> During that time, Britain and Russia were allies and no one wanted to be attached to a criticism of Russia.

In addition, George Orwell was a Trotskyist, which emphasized that he did not support Stalin. Publishers did not take that risk and rejected the novel.

In 1945 the novel was finally published by Frederic Warburg, but it was not known by the public until late 1950s.
