Analyzing the Importance of Setting

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The two ideas from the setting that influence the way characters act in this passage are:

B. the idea that people should not argue in public

E. the custom of saving women and children first

Explanation:

"A Night to Remember" is a novel by Walter Lord which gives an account of the disastrous first trip of the Titanic. As we know, the ship began its journey toward America but ended up sinking after a tragic collision with an iceberg in 1912.

The fact that the story is set in 1912 is of great importance to understand how and why the characters behave in certain ways. Society at the beginning of the 20th century lived under different, more strict, social rules than it does now. People would, for instance, avoid any sort of disagreement in public, since it was frowned upon. That is represented in the first fragment: "Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Meyer of New York felt so self-conscious arguing about it in public that they went down to their cabin."

It is also important to understand that, in sinking ships, it is a rule to save children and women first. The story being set on a ship explains the second fragment: "When they say ‘Women and children to the boats,’ you must go when your turn comes. I'll stay here with Jack Thayer. We’ll be all right.”

An article suitable for publication in your school magazine on the need to inculcate good moral value in the youth

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Morality is ethics or principles that make one stand out among the multitude and it is a means of assessing an individual's worth in any Society. Moral value therefore in our youth is what cannot be overemphasized in the youths. Youths of any country today are the leaders of tomorrow, as a result, there is the need to inculcate good moral in them I as the world has been bedevilled with a lot of immorality. Immorality is most common in our youths and if this menace is not curbed, it will further create anarchy in our environments and to its inhabitants. The need therefore to inculcate good moral value in our youths is a responsibility of not only the parents but the community as a whole.

Morality is what people look out for in every youth and every morally upright youth is a source of pride to his parents. Charity they say begins at home, and youth must be properly disciplined from childhood by his parents. The parents of such a child have little or nothing to worry about when he becomes a youth.

Another institution that needs to inculcate moral values in the youth is the community. The upbringing of a child in the African society is the total responsibility of the entire community members. The adults discipline a child with love when he misbehaves. More so, the government as in the case of Nigeria has discovered that youth without. ut moral will constitute a nuisance to the community. This we can see with the case of terrorism facing our nation the recent times. Thousands of lives have been lost and properties destroyed.

Furthermore, the government has seen that the most effective means of inculcating moral value in the. youth should start from the grass root. This has made the government introduce civic education into the school curriculum from primary education to tertiary. This is aimed at curbing the menace of terrorism, cultism, drug addiction, among others in the youth.

Besides, Religious groups and non-governmental organizations have seen the need to inculcate good moral values in the youth as a result of immorality which has taken over our society. Sermons have been preached and seminars organized to help advise the youth to dissociate themselves from groups that will not add positive values to their lives.

Principally, the role of the school precisely teachers and guidance and counselling department in instilling good moral value in the youth cannot be overlooked. Since youth spend more time at schools, they should be properly monitored so that they do not join bad peers. Youths should be properly disciplined by the school authorities and reported to the appropriate authorities for rehabilitation if found to have belonged to any such bad group.

Finally, failure to pay attention to the timing of youths has been the major cause of upheavals in our country. Our I youths should be engaged by our government and be made productive. A morally upright youth, therefore, is an asset to the nation at large.
