The right answer of course, is none of the above

The obvious intention and message of this short story is to show the reader "The other face of war" this meaning that in every fight there has to be one loser and one winner; reminding the fact that for the winner to feel satisfaction for the victory there has to be a loser who cries for defeat.

The author points out the irrational fact, that people pray for god to let their soldiers to kill and not to be killed, whereas, god should be asked for blessings.

It is necessary to point out as well that the misterious preacher also states that when people pray for US soldiers to come back alive, they are automatically praying for the enemy to be killed.

Mothers who thank god for bringing their sons back alive, mean at the same, time mothers who shall mourn sons who never did.

The correct answer is "none of the above". Mark Twain's "War Prayer" poem stated that there is a part in people´s prayer which they implicitly wish for but do not mention, which is the desire of the destruction and suffering of their enemies. This poem was written as a response to the Spanish-American War.

What the poem emphasizes in are the consequences that result for nations submitted to conflicts, which are al the hardships the people are left with after the war is over.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

<h2>B) Natural rights</h2>

Explanation:

A strong overall theme of the Declaration of Independence is that people are born with natural rights.  Perhaps the most memorable phrase from the Declaration is the one you quoted: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Thomas Jefferson (writer of the Declaration of Independence) and other American founding fathers got their ideas about natural rights from philosophers of the Enlightenment, such as John Locke (1632-1704).  Locke strongly argued that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.   The American founding fathers accepted the views of Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers and acted on them.

John Locke, in his<em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> (1690), expressed these ideas as follows.  Notice similarities to what is said in the Declaration of Independence (1776) ...

  • <em>The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.</em>

Identify the factors that led to the development of filipino nationalism?
Ainat [17]
The factors that led to the development of Filipino nationalism was basically centered around one: the Spanish rule which existed on the islands for around three centuries. This started in the 1800's and continues on today, as the islands was often under the control of the Spaniards or the United States. Filipino nationalism includes political, social and economic freedom in the country and this was one of the reasons behind the first nationalist revolution in Asia in 1896.
