What two traits does Charles Dickens point out about British society during the Industrial Revolution in this excerpt from Olive
vazorg [7]

The above excerpt from Charles Dickens’ novel “Oliver Twist” point out the following two traits of British society during the industrial revolution.

1.a lack of regard for life among the working class

3. the employment of children for hazardous tasks

Dickens novels reflect the ills of Victorian society which emerged as the byproduct of the Industrial Revolution. The drawbacks of the modern society and Industrialization were great in number. The society got divided based on class and status. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Child labor was encouraged especially in the factories to overcome poverty. People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities. Individualism increased which favored self-increment and not on the betterment of the society. Children were not allowed to imagine and live in the world of fancy. They were taught to live with logic and reason. This period saw the downfall of humanity in the history of mankind.

What inspires warriors to make a such personal sacrifices?
bija089 [108]

It deppends on the type of warrior but I will try to explain using the Samurai. I think with them the value of the moral is of high importance and determined their lives:

The samurai considered death as something they had to be always prepared for and thus, whenever it was needed, they would sacrifice their life "for a greater good" they knew it was something it might happen anyway. The idea of trascendence is something we have to be also aware of; They thought that what you do in this life will affect how you start the next one (reincarnation).

Let's also talk about a "negative" way of sacrifice; The seppuku, where they took their own life by cutting their stomach with a sword when they considered they didn't follow properly one of the eight most important values as we can see in any of the samurai codes or books like Hagakure or the Bushido code. these eight codes are: Justice, courage, mercy, politeness, honesty, honor, loyalty and self-control.

Not only life they would sacrifice but also money, food, social life because these things might be a distraction or a cause of desire whic leads to suffering.

HELP PLEASE THIS QUESTION IS SO HARD :(
son4ous [18]

Answer:

D. People can still walk up the stairs to one of the bell towers and take in an amazing view of the city.

Explanation:

This is actually very easy, check it out: Answers B and C have citations included at the end of the material ("Patel 65"), meaning that those sentences have properly displayed a source for the content they incorporate. So, they are not plagiarized. And answer A is a completely unique sentence that takes no words from the exemplified text. Answer D however, takes text directly from the example almost word-for-word without a source citation. Though the author attempted to switch out the word "astonishing" for "amazing," that is one difference of three minimum to avoid plagiarism. So, it has been plagiarized.
