Both Kennedy and Eisenhower remarked the importance of individuals citizens in the maintenance of peace. Eisenhower states that the only way to maintain peace is that the military industry, which has become permanent in the course of the century, stays that way. But only "an alert and knowledgeable citizenry" can mesh the maintenance of such military industry with the goal and methods of peace, "so that security and liberty may prosper together". World peace is long far to be reached, but war has been avoided, and the citizenry is the one to strive for the goal of peace with justice.

Kennedy, on the other hand, insists that in the hand of the citizens relies the outcome of this new world order in which both the United States and the Soviet Union are the most powerful countries and shall avoid at all costs to engage in another war and work together to "formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms--and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations", to  "join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved."

In hands of the citizens of America and of the world rests "the final success or failure of our course". The trumpet summons them again "to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, [...] a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself". So he asks his fellow citizens to ask themselves "not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country."

1. In Chapter 1 of The Blind Side, what is the significance of former football player Lawrence Taylor both to the title itself a
sveta [45]

Answer:

Lawrence Taylor's act of successfully and painfully sacking Joe Theismann led to a new structure and pattern/ concept of hiring stronger, bulkier bigger linemen to see to the blindside of the quarterback.

The "blindside" in football is the 'unnoticed' side of a player's eyesight view, which is the left side for a right-handed quarterback and right for a left-handed quarterback. This area is to be protected by the linemen while the quarterback attempts to throw the ball.

Explanation:

Michael Lewis's book "The Blind Side," tells the true story of impoverished Michael Oher and his rise to becoming one of the most wanted linemen in league history. This book also became an Oscar award movie and led to a massive change in the way football players are recruited, especially the offensive linemen position.

Chapter 1 of the book focuses on the game of football between the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. And in this game, Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor sacked Redskins' quarterback Joe Theismann, breaking his bones so much that his career in football was destroyed. And with numerous instances of Taylor's sacking of numerous other players, the need to rethink the role of the linemen who are on the blind side of the player began to emerge. Taylor, thus, led to the new perspective of coaches and teams hiring stronger and bulkier offensive linemen.

The "blind side" in the game of football is the left side of a right-handed quarterback's (or vice versa) which is not visible to them when he turns to throw the ball. It is here that the linemen have the important duty of making sure the quarterback is safe from any 'attack' or tackling.

What does Tybalt mean when he says "Thou consortest with Romeo"?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The most likely option would be (B), since Tybalt and Romeo had never been on great terms, so that would cancel out the possibility of (A), (C), and (D). Tybalt also tried to kill Romeo, so I think that could support as my explanation.

Which best describes one reason why "Sympathy" is a naturalist poem?
denis23 [38]

"It addresses the effects of racism and oppression in society" is the best which describes the reason why "Sympathy" is a naturalist poem. Literary naturalism emphasizes observation and the scientific method in the fictional portrayal of reality.

Other characteristics of literary naturalism are:

  • detachment: the author maintains an impersonal tone and disinterested point of view
  • determinism: the opposite of free will, in which a character's fate has been decided, even predetermined, by impersonal forces of nature beyond human control
  • a sense that the universe itself is indifferent to human life
