brilliants [131]

Answer:

A). The haiku shares a distinct event in nature, while the romantic poem relays a personal experience with nature.

Explanation:

Haiku illustrates a short Japanese poem consisting of merely three phrases that usually contains a recurring reference to nature or surroundings that is inspiring. While Coleridge in "Frost at Midnight" demonstrates a personal experience with nature. In his poem(lines 52-59), he describes his son wandering the natural imagery that assists him to find a meaning that nature always mirrors the truth as describes nature as a preacher of significant lessons of life. The other options seem incorrect as in option B, the first phrase is correct but Coleridge has written this poem in blank verse that is free of metrical fardels while the other  two options reflect an inappropriate claim.

Essay on is it ethical to target uninformed consumers
alexgriva [62]
It is unfortunate that some businesses use deceptive and manipulative strategies to attain the sales objectives. It more unfortunate that most people trust companies in that they consider their interests. However, the use of marketing means and targeting uninformed customers is not unethical or manipulative means. One of the reasons is that most companies and businesses research and analyze their consumers determining the predisposed means that might make a person to buy a product (Graeff 643-667). These include a variety of factors such as cultural norms, personal preferences as well as regular orders among others.

In targeting the uninformed consumers, the company introduces their brand to new markets. This not only acts as a way of winning new customers but also as an education platform in that people are informed of the new product (Buehler and Schuett). While the community gets educated, the company can attract more consumers. Also, target marketing is beneficial to a community. Can you imagine introducing a new product to the consumers? This would increase competition against the rival and already established products leading to improved qualities and lowered prices. Through target marketing, a company is likely to gain. This is realized since the company has the upper hand in influencing the uninformed group through asking, informing, and persuasion as well as advertising (Fishman 23-25).

However, it may seem unethical to target an informed consumer group. This is because it may intrude their cultural beliefs and social norms. The products may not best fit the group and introducing them to the people may be wrong.

Margaret [11]

The line “As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have; but, in their stead,” in the above excerpt from act V scene 3 of Shakespeare's Macbeth tell the audience that Macbeth realizes his mistake and regrets his ambition.

Act V of the play Macbeth is the concluding act of the play which highlights the end of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and their evil deeds. When Macbeth gets to know about Lady Macbeth’s unnatural death, he becomes numb. In great shock, he gives a speech in which he exerts about the uncertainty and unpredictability of death. Later he is informed by a servant that the Birnam Wood is moving towards Dunsinane. In despair, he shouts out loud at the servant but realizes that the prophecy of the witches is coming true. He realizes that in the run of attaining the kingdom he had fallen short of love, friends, and honor. His greed has left him alone. Though he thinks about the losses he had faced in his life, still he steps to the conclusion that he’ll fight until his death.
