Answer:

I agree with you that issue is best; it is a good parallel with problem.  

A problem might be a subject for discussion, but we are not likely to say it is a subject for society.  

It is difficult to see how a problem could be a theme for society. If there is a repeated or underlying subject of discussions we might call it a theme:

If there was an underlying theme it was this: "The problem is we don't have any money". (Source: Seattle Post Intelligencer (blog) - Mar 24, 2010)

​

Points are likely to be assertions, not questions to resolve, which is what problems are. We aren't likely to say "a point for our society today", unless we say what the society is to do with it. A person could say "[The fact that education is necessary for progress] is a point for our society to consider," although there would be better ways to express the idea.

skad [1K]

Friedan describes the period of the 50s in which the educational model, disseminated after the Second World War, was aimed at women deciding to choose the option of returning home, after having conquered the right to vote and education and of having agreed to a job. The mystical expression of femininity, according to its author, is used to describe a conglomeration of traditional discourses and assumptions about femininity that hinder intellectual commitment and the active participation of women in their society. Without economic independence, the way of life of the housewife in this new technological home, produces loneliness, depression and other medical cadres qualified as "typically female". Friedan analyzes the economic system in which women are sold an identity consistent with the family unit of consumption in which the family has been transformed.

Elza [17]

These words are spoken by Mephistopheles, a prince of the underworld who becomes Faustus' servant for twenty-four years after he sells his soul to Lucifer in exchange for unlimited power.

This passage appears in Act 5, Scene 1, where an Old Man appears in front of Faustus an calls him to renounce sourcery and repent, for is not to late to be saved. But Faustus sends him away, and when Mephistopheles appears, he asks the demon to torture the Old Man for offending him.

To this, Mephistopheles responds with these words, meaning that the torture will only be physical, since he cannot touch the man's soul.

What is a central idea of the poem "Talking in Their sleep Use two details from the poem to support your response.
GREYUIT [131]
If you're talking about the poem by Edith M. Thomas then I believe that the central idea is about how people can base something off of their looks. I'm not completely sure, but it talks a lot about how they look dead, but then explain that they are not. To me that makes it sound a lot like the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".

It could also mean that things take time to grow into something beautiful, and before that happens, you have to go through something difficult, seeming as if it is the end of the world. But then you blossom and bloom and everybody will look in awe.

I'm not completely sure these are right, and I'm not sure we read the same poem, but you didn't state the author's name. This was just off the top of my head but I hope it helps you or gives you an idea :)

Match the fallacy with its name. Your grandfather died in World War II; you of all people should support veterans.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The fallacy is that veterans should be supported.

Explanation:

Fallacies are mistaken beliefs. Things that people believe in that don't make sense. In this passage, the narrator is saying to another person that all people should support veterans(people who were in a war) because their grandfather was killed in World war 2. But, that means that the grandfather was <em>killed by a veteran</em>! This doesn't make sense. The fallacy is that veterans should be supported.
