What point is LaBarge making about “human excellence” by comparing these two different types of heroes? (15 Points)

English

lys-0071 [83]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Not fully confident in my answer, but here we go:

We see that LaBarge refers to two different categories of people:

1. the people that see women's rights crusader Susan B. Anthony as a hero

2. the people that see a model or actress as a hero

On one side, we have people who think that "human excellence" exemplifies progressive and innovative ideas, like women's rights.

On the other, some people think that "human excellence" is shown through physical characteristics or appearance, such as the beauty of a model or actress.

I believe that LaBarge is trying to make a message- that we shouldn't idolize actresses or models as much as we do. We should instead venerate those who take action, the people who have an effect on the world. Susan B. Anthony fought for women's rights. How could that compare to mere physical beauty?

Read this excerpt from "Talking Robots." Sejnowski rejected the usual top-down approach to reproducing human speech. He threw ou
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The answer to the question: What is the author´s purpose for including this statement, would be: To show the greatness, and yet the simplicity, of the innovations and discoveries that this researcher, Terry Sejnowski accomplished, regarding learning, on many fields, including language mastering. This neuroscientist, better known as Terrence Joseph Sejnowki, has been known around the world for his work on neural circuits, and other things regarding how the brain works, especially when it comes to learning, and mastering different fields of knowledge. What he showed through his multiple research is that learning is much simpler than it was used to believe, and it required the correct work of a neural circuit. He found that this neural circuit was the only thing necessary to ensure proper learning, and that is what the author in "Talking Robots" wanted to express through this excerpt.

Do you believe that sarcasm is confusing, or is the condemnation more a result of not wanting criticism? Can sarcasm really be p
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Sarcasm indeed can be confusing.

Explanation:

Sarcasm indeed can be confusing to some extent. Sarcasm can be understood as "indirect criticism", what you say manifest exactly the oposite of what you really mean with the comment.

Sarcasm cannot be prevented, it is a very "human" activity due to the high symbolism, and complexities of human interaction, sarcasm is expected to exist in one way or another.

Yes, the continuing comments in the U.S about fake news may have something to do with the country's growingly "autistic" impatience with sarcasm and criticism.

Read this excerpt from Rudyard Kipling's novel Kim in which Kim responds to the lama's questions. Then complete the sentences th
NNADVOKAT [17]

The correct answer for the first question: The lama is looking for "The River of the Arrow" because would be option 1. "He thinks he will be purified spiritually when he finds it". This is showed in the excerpt when the lama says "By it one attains freedom from the Wheel of things", meaning he wants to be free of his sins and thinks the river is going to help him achieve it. He does not give a reference as to god being the reason he wants to find the river therefore options 2,3 and 4 are incorrect.  

The correct answer for the second question: The excerpt shows that would be option 3. "Kim is eager to show the lama he does not know where the river is located". This is shown in the excerpt when he repeatedly says that he does not know the location, for example " If I knew, think you I would not cry it aloud?". Option 1, 2 and 4 are incorrect because Kim does not appear under the lama's spell, he does listen to him, and has not expressed an interest in the river's powers.
