Influence
Persuasive essays give the reader reasons to go through with an idea.
Vinvika [58]2 years ago
3 0

The answer is: defend.  The whole purpose in a<em> Persuasive Essay</em> is to try to <em>convince</em> the readers about certain things. This requires that the writer take a firm position, <em>defending his points</em>.  He doesn't present the other side, but, because he believes he is suggesting ideas that will make things better, he invites participation and advises that if the ideas are not embraced, things might not get better.

Explain the distinction Kant makes between guardians and minors. Who are these two groups and what sets them apart from one anot
Tresset [83]
Kant's distinction between guardians and minors is based on the propensity of people to dwell in their own immaturity and let others take care of them. Both guardians and minors are victims of this propensity; only, they are placed on the opposite poles. Neither guardians nor minors dare to think for themselves. However, minors almost entirely give up their intellectual potential, indulging in their own laziness of the mind. They rely on different types of guardians. For example, priests are the guardians of their souls; physicians are the guardians of their bodies; politicians are the guardians of their social order, etc. Basically, they are lulled in their comfortable positions of non-thinkers. We have to say, though, that Kant doesn't judge on people for being one or the other. He just proposes that they can rise above those passive positions with the help of enlightenment.
