Answer:
Answered below.
Explanation:
Our history of racial segregation and inequality is shameful and cannot be celebrated. Ownership of slaves, making slaves work in cotton fields and other hard labour, oppression of blacks and other minority ethnic groups in the early days of our country, civil rights abuses and discrimination and ultimately the civil war, are all shameful events in our history.
The arrests and dehumanisation of Americans of Japanese ethnicity after the Pearl Harbour attacks, locking them away in inhumane camps and denying their rights to freedom was another event in our history which was shameful and not representative of the freedom and democracy which we stand for.
Thankfully a lot has changed since these periods, but we must do more to continue to protect our democracy and freedom.
In "<em>The Stranger</em>", by Albert Camus, Meursault describes shooting the Arab after he's already dead as follows:
"I knew I’d shattered the balance of the day, thespacious calm of this beach on which I had been happy. But I fired four shots more into the inert body, on which they left no visible trace. And each successive shot was another loud, fateful rap on the door of my undoing."
He describes it as <em>knocking loudly on the door of his downfall</em>.
The word ambivalence means confused feelings.
