Answer:

B.The best way to eliminate discrimination and competition is by treating everyone exactly the same.

Explanation:

The text sets the focus on hegemony; that is to say, to organise society without any differences. Human beings look alike: clones; education, and health care are provided by a global government to everyone. Houses also look alike. There are no differences in salaries. The families  have the same number of members. People who  react against this hegemonic organization -outliers- are expelled from society.

explain why the author felt "safe" in Manitou. how might her perceptions of this place reflect her native american beliefs
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Linda Hogan claimed she felt safe in Manitou for she believes "the underground movement of water and heat [were] a constant reminder of other life, of what lives beneath us, [and that] seemed to be the center of the world".

This place, to her, felt like the perfect amalgamation of the spatial barrier that the native Americans believe as the world of their ancestors. And in her exclamation of this place as the center of the world, she also shows that she holds a belief in the very belief of the native Americans.

Explanation:

Linda Hogan in her book "Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World" talks about the houses we live in, and how they depend on humans to be deemed living spaces. She talks about her lifelong fascination and love for the world, the earth, where we live, delving into the relationship between the spaces that humans dwell in and the rest of nature.

Hogan stated that <em>"she felt safe in Manitou"</em> due to the fact that it reminded her of the<em> "other life, of what lives beneath us"</em>. She mentioned that <em>"with the underground movement of water and heat [...] it seemed to be the center of the world". </em>

This shows that her deep-rooted belief in the native American belief system is reflected in her own sense of comparison between the two spaces, that of humans and nature. She discusses how both spaces are necessary for the healthy psyche of a person and how interconnected the two are.
