<u>Describe, in your own words, Sartre’s idea of the importance of reality and how that concept informs his view of cowardice.</u>

In his 1946 work <em>"Existentialism is Humanism",</em> Sartre explores existentialism and its effect on humanity. He states that a <u>coward</u> is: <em>"defined by the deed that he has done. What people feel obscurely, and with horror, is that the coward as we present him is guilty of being a coward."  </em>The action of the coward defines him, an aspect that can be changed only by him. If he is committed to change what defines him, he can erase the notion of being a coward.

Nevertheless, Sartre mentions that “<em>There is no reality except in action</em>”, and this reveals the <u>importance of reality</u>. Humans, regardless of the outcome of an unattainable future, are still in control of some aspects of their reality through their actions; thus, they can shape their individual futures in a way.

This is <u><em>"total freedom"</em></u> defined solely by the individual, as Sartre says: <em>"Those who hide from this total freedom, in a guise of solemnity or with deterministic excuses, I shall call cowards."  </em>What matters in someone's existence is what is decided. A <u>decision </u>is going to shape someone's reality and will define whether the person is a <em>hero</em> or a <em>coward</em>.<em>  </em>

1. Which is type of education would you prefer -a tutor, an internet link or boarding school?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

In my opinion:

1. I choose BOARDING SCHOOL, actually a boarding school was a rare type of institution. It has the advantage that children will not worry on going home, because they live inside the school. It's also good because you can become focused on what you do because your staying at the same place. In boarding school, we also learned to live alone and do things in our own way.

2. Studying by yourself

Advantage- you have more concentration and harness your skill on learning alone, experience doing hardwork, and finding the solution yourself.

Disadvantage- no one will be able to help you or to be asked too, and no one will explain. it's boring,

HOPE IT HELPS.

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.
Serga [27]

The correct answer is A. They suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.

Explanation:

In the passage presented, Machiavelli explains the way the prince needs to inspire fear rather than hate "Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred". According to him, this is necessary because the prince can govern if there is fear but not hate, about this, Machiavelli states the prince should never take away property because this would lead to hate form people; however, if necessary he can take life, although he recommends doing this due to proper reasons and without creating a reputation of cruelty as otherwise hate will emerge and this is not advisable.

According to this, Machiavelli proposes it is good people fear rather than hate a ruler and therefore the words feared and hatred in the passage "suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so".
