melomori [17]

Answer:

In short, poverty can change the way the brain develops in young children. The major reason for this effect is stress. Children growing up in poverty experience multiple stressful events: neighborhood crime and drug use; divorce, parental conflict, and other family problems, including abuse and neglect by their parents; parental financial problems and unemployment; physical and mental health problems of one or more family members; and so forth. Their great levels of stress in turn affect their bodies in certain harmful ways.

Which excerpt from Chapter 28 of MobyDick best develops the theme of the novel concerning man’s insistence on manufacturing his
Katarina [22]

The excerpt from Chapter 28 of Moby Di-ck which best develops the theme of the novel concerning man’s insistence on manufacturing his own destruction is:

B. And not only that, but moody stricken Ahab stood before them with a crucifixion in his face; in all the nameless regal overbearing dignity of some mighty woe.

One of the important theme in the novel “Moby Di-ck” is about the relationship between nature and man. The novel is about a man, Ahab, who goes out in the natural world to disturb the balance of nature by killing the animals. Though at the end of the novel, it is the nature who remains unchanged and the man has to witness a failure.  Ahab had a strong belief in the fate because of which he thinks that it is in his destiny to slay down the whale. The desire for revenge exists stands secondary for him. He combines his egoism with the feeling of revenge and moves on to destroy the whale. He ignores the prophecies about the destruction that will cause to his ship and himself if he moved on. In the end, he falls prey to his own destruction causing his identity to extinct.

HELP PLEASE
musickatia [10]

okay so

One... when it comes to advertising and selling a product Marketers will try to target those who are not informed and with that it isn't ethical because with holding information is called omitting and which basically a form of lying. And lying is not an ethical thing.

Two...With holding certain information from a customer can be at risk to them. What if the product the marketer is selling such as a medication has negative side effects that the customer isn't made aware of and they end up going to the hospital for the side effect. It would not be very good ethics to with hold such important information especially knowing that someone's health could be at risk

For a counterclaim you could say that even though it could get you a sell it can come back to bite you in the but when they get a lawsuit handed to them. for withholding information and endangering the health of someone.

i hope that this helps some...
