Though I employ so much of my time in writing to you, I confess I have often my doubts whether it is to any purpose. I know how

unwelcome advice generally is; I know that those who want it most like it and follow it least; and I know, too, that the advice of parents, more particularly, is ascribed to the moroseness, the imperiousness, or the garrulity of old age. But then, on the other hand, I flatter myself, that as your own reason (though too young as yet to suggest much to you of itself) is, however, strong enough to enable you both to judge of and receive plain truths: I flatter myself, I say, that your own reason, young as it is, must tell you, that I can have no interest but yours in the advice I give you; and that, consequently, you will at least weigh and consider it well: in which case, some of it will, I hope, have its effect. Do not think that I mean to dictate as a parent; I only mean to advise as a friend, and an indulgent one too: and do not apprehend that I mean to check your pleasures; of which, on the contrary, I only desire to be the guide, not the censor. Let my experience supply your want of it, and clear your way in the progress of your youth of those thorns and briers which scratched and disfigured me in the course of mine. I do not, therefore, so much as hint to you how absolutely dependent you are upon me; that you neither have nor can have a shilling in the world but from me; and that, as I have no womanish weakness for your person, your merit must and will be the only measure of my kindness. I say, I do not hint these things to you, because I am convinced that you will act right upon more noble and generous principles; I mean, for the sake of doing right, and out of affection and gratitude to me.
I have so often recommended to you attention and application to whatever you learn, that I do not mention them now as duties, but I point them out to you as conducive, nay, absolutely necessary, to your pleasures; for can there be a greater pleasure than to be universally allowed to excel those of one's own age and manner of life? And, consequently, can there be anything more mortifying than to be excelled by them? In this latter case, your shame and regret must be greater than anybody's, because everybody knows the uncommon care which has been taken of your education, and the opportunities you have had of knowing more than others of your age. I do not confine the application which I recommend, singly to the view and emulation of excelling others (though that is a very sensible pleasure and a very I warrantable pride); but I mean likewise to excel in the thing itself: for, in my mind, one may as well not know a thing at all, as know it but imperfectly. To know a little of anything, gives neither satisfaction nor credit, but often brings disgrace or ridicule.
The son, to whom the letter is addressed, can best be described as:___________.
i. moderately unmotivated
ii. disgracefully disobedient
iii. fiendishly dishonest
iv. overwhelmingly shy
v. unnaturally focused

Where did the symbols for the democratic and republican parties come from?
shusha [124]

Answer:

Jackson, a hero of the War of 1812 who later served in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, was amused by being called a jacka** from his opponents, and included an image of the animal in his campaign posters. He later went on to defeat incumbent John Quincy Adams, and serve as America’s first Democratic president. In the 1870s, influential political cartoonist Thomas Nast helped popularize the donkey as a symbol for the Democratic Party. For the republican party, it was formed in 1854 and six years later Abraham Lincoln became its first member elected to the White House. An image of an elephant was featured as a Republican symbol in at least one political cartoon and a newspaper illustration during the Civil War.

Hope this helps and have a nice day!

Organizational policies that discourage employees from sharing pay information with each other may violate the _________________
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B "National Labor Relations"

Explanation:

More than 33% of private area businesses (various guidelines apply in the open division) as of late reviewed confessed to having explicit standards forbidding workers from examining their compensation with coworkers.2' interestingly, just around 1 out of 14 bosses have effectively embraced a "pay transparency" policy. Around fifty-one percent of the businesses studied expressed that they didn't have a particular arrangement in regards to pay mystery or 21 confidentiality issues. Survey information additionally propose that chiefs are commonly inclined to24 PSC rules. A predictable finding in inquire about going back to the 1970s is that a huge extent of directors concur with the utilization of PSC (pay secrecy and confidentiality) rules. Available information along these lines seems to recommend that a noteworthy number of managers have either an inclination for, or have really established explicit PSC rules. To put it plainly, it's anything but an exaggeration to propose that businesses seem to lean toward pay mystery and secrecy.

What makes the predominance of these standards so intriguing is the way that they have been reliably seen as unlawful under the National Labor Relations Acts.
