Answer:

First options: Personal honor determines a person's self-worth and value.

Explanation:

"The Crucible" (1953) is Arthur Miller's tragedy play. The play dramatized and fictionalized version of Salem Witchcraft trials of 1692-93.

John Proctor is play's protagonist who along with many other villagers and his wife is wrongly accused of performing witchcraft which in Puritan society of that time was a crime punishable by death.

In the earlier part of the play John Proctor hides his adultery with Abigail because of public dishonor. But when he later realizes that it is not public honor what matter most rather personal integrity and honor. So, he admits his crime in front of court.

In later part of trial he is asked to confess publicly in written for his involvement in witchcraft, and save his life. He accepts it with reluctance, but when court asks him to wrongly name and testify against other members of the village, he refuses and tears part the confession document. He accepts death only because of personal and religious integrity. At this point of the play he is aloof from public honor or dishonor and wants to redeem himself by not accusing anyone wrongly. Proctor understands his preference of personal and religious integrity will take him to heaven after his death.

This thought is also expressed by Elizabeth (his wife) when she refuses to persuade Proctor to accept court's offer of accusing others and saving himself. She says,<em> </em><em>“He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!”</em>

In-s [12.5K]

Rebecca Saxe and her colleagues conducted an experiment on morals and social habits. The most important conclusions are the following:

When people gather in large groups, there is a possibility that both good and bad things may happen. Although a group may have good intentions (on social, political, or other aspects), there is always a possibility that this group may harm those outside the group.

Saxe states that a person individually can express a certain morality and values but, when being in a group, those could be set aside. The individual could even end up doing things that contradict what he/she personally thinks. This can be explained because in this group, the individual experiences anonymity and feels no need to take responsibility for the group’s actions.

The hypothesis of the research argues that when an individual enters a group, they can be ignore their individual and moral beliefs, being prone to participate in activities that they might consider arguable if they were not part of it.
