In the war-band he chose us for this journey spontaneously, Stirred us to glory and gave me these jewels, Since he held and esteemed us trust-worthy spearmen, Hardy helm-bearers, though this hero-achievement Our lord intended alone to accomplish, Ward of his people, for most of achievements, Doings audacious, he did among earth-folk. Our lord is in sore need of us. The day is now come when the ruler of earthmen Needeth the vigor of valiant heroes: Let us wend us towards him, the war-prince to succor, While the heat yet rageth, horrible fire-fight.” ...

Throughout this passage, Wiglaf is presented as a model of loyalty. When all other warriors act like cowards, retreating to safety, Wiglaf decides to risk his life and stand by his old king in this last battle. He still doesn't act as Beowulf's equal, but he nevertheless offers him support, as his sworn warrior. Beowulf is indeed encouraged by this act and manages to kill the dragon while receiving a mortal wound himself.

Which of the following is a fallacy of syllogism? I. non sequitur II. faulty analogy III. hasty generalization
topjm [15]

III. hasty generalization

A syllogistic fallacy is more of a generalization than it is a sequence or analogy. This error of reasoning occurs by first mentioning something broad/general then proceeds to make a conclusion about something that is very specific by means of generalizing. For example, this would be considered fallacy of syllogism:

All jets are air crafts. All propeller airplanes are air crafts. Therefore, propeller airplanes are jets.

Thus, you can see how a generalization is made about propeller airplanes being jets because they are both air crafts.

How do outside forces (society, biology, privilege, school, etc) influence your belief on fate vs free will
Alina [70]

Answer:

There are two main positions in the world regarding spirituality and the existence of higher entities: the one that establishes that faith in a divinity is a way to achieve objectives with the help of that higher being, which guides individuals on the path of the religions; and the one that maintains that free will is ultimately what regulates the results of men's actions, as only these can determine their destiny through their actions.

Today, society, educational and religious institutions, science and even the socioeconomic conditions of each person determine the way in which they think about the issue, and what position they take on it. Thus, for example, education in science, biology, physics and other branches of the natural sciences advocates the path of free will, seeking rational explanations for natural phenomena, with which the individual immersed in this environment is most likely not religious; while those people raised in more conservative environments, with a more humanistic approach or focused on the social sciences will most likely defend the path of faith as the one through which greater personal development is achieved.
