Answer: a) it draws attention to a problem in society

Explanation:

Satire is a type of literature that tries to highlight the vices, abuses and follies of individuals, corporations, the government, or society at large. It often does so by holding these up to ridicule and shaming them. Satire often uses literary devices such as exaggeration, irony and understatement in order to convey this. In this story, the author draws attention to a problem in society: the fact that humans think they are at the "top of the food chain" and, therefore, feel entitled to disregard other living things.

The difference between responding to life as a Victim or a Creator is how we choose to use our
joja [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Sociology can be defined as a social science that deals with the study of the socio-cultural interaction of humans with respect to the structure, functioning and development of their society.

The main purpose of sociology is to develop and enhance human knowledge or understanding of important socio-cultural processes through the gathering and analysis of all aspects of the social life of the people living in a society.

A victim can be defined as an individual or person that is at the receiving end of an unfortunate circumstance (bad events) in life and as such may be regarded as a pessimist.

A creator can be defined as an individual or person that believes there exist an option that would always lead him or her to successfully achieving his or her goal, aim, aspiration, dream, etc. Thus, a creator is an optimistic individual who uses the power of wise choices while making creator choices everytime in life.

In this context, the difference between responding to life as a victim (who is an underachiever) or a Creator (who excel in his or her endeavor) is how we choose to use our energy.

This ultimately implies that, a victim would most likely use his or her energy negatively while a creator would positively use his energy to always make wise choices in life.
