Answer: Protectiveness

In the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde, Jack Worthing is the guardian of a young ward, Cecily Cardew. In Act I, Algernon, Jack's best friend, finds out about the young woman, and is interested in meeting her. However, Jack does not want Algernon to do so out of a sense of protectiveness towards her.

Which parts of this excerpt from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim’s Progress show that the central character is devoutly religious and
Maurinko [17]
In my opinion, these parts show that the central character (Christian) is devoutly religious and God-fearing: <span>Because I fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and I shall fall into Tophet [Isa. 30:33] And, Sir, if I be not fit to go to prison, I am not fit, I am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry. Christian has experienced first-hand that life is cruel and difficult. It would be far too easy to give up on life and embrace death, but he also knows that there is one thing worse than death, and that is hell. If he were to give up, he would end up in hell. So, he is willing to go down the path of salvation, with the help of Evangelist. This part also shows it: </span><span>Whither must I fly? It means that he is humble enough to obediently follow the path that Evangelist shows him. "The Pilgrim's Progress" shows us a central character who is weak and pliable just like most of people. He often errs and goes astray, and it's his humility and commitment that give him enough courage to follow Evangelist's guidance.</span>

Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. "I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," White would recall almost fondly
choli [55]

The correct answer is "Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations".

Explanation: In "The Great Fire", the narrator explains White's testimony of the  Great Chicago fire; there were accounts of men taking advantage of the situation and overcharging services for people in distress, but in other instances, there were regular people who helped for free. The everyday people who chose to help without expecting anything in return were the true heroes.

Does today's society support Kant's contention that minors are not conditioned to think for themselves?
Ivenika [448]
No, Because in today's society minors are more aggressive. They are observant and thinks rationally about what is happening around them. Most of them say that minors are just busy in front of the television screen, scrolling down on their iPhones in their facebook account or just tweeting around, and just letting their parents be the one to think for them. BUT no. Some of the minors are like that, but not all. They seem not heard socially because the public dictates that they are only minors, so they think about of other interventions for them to be heard, one of which is through the social media.
