In "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau states that the Government, the State, the Power sits on his throne and enjoys everything from the high, boasting, proud of his strength and the servile obedience of his people. We know it should not be like that, but we do not even know where to start a change ... Thoreau knows, the biggest affront to the government is to challenge his authority by saying, "We will not do it! You are wrong and we are right! ", This is civil disobedience.

This concept paved the way for demonstrations such as the civil rights movement, the suffrage movement, anti-war movements, LGBT + rights movements, among others that dared to challenge the supremacy of the government.

In "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau championed the idea that if a government is not going to improve itself, then it is the duty of the people to refuse to support it. This paved the way for non-violent protests, such as those led by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Charles Dickens became well-known for consistently utilizing what theme throughout his writings?

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The theme of good people coping with bad circumstances

Explanation:

The theme of bad people prevailing over good people – this is not the right answer. Dickens’ novels do have the endings when good people end happily.

The theme of rigid adherence to social norms and patterns – this is not the correct answer. Some of Dickens's characters went extremely against the norms of society.

The theme of societal improvement through charitable works – this is not the right answer. Dickens's work did not deal much with the subject of charitable work.

The theme of good people coping with bad circumstances – this is the correct answer. Many of Dickens’ works dealt with good people who found themselves in unfortunate circumstances and had to fight hard for a better life. David Copperfield follows the life of a man from childhood, as he goes through ups and downs when both of his parents die, and he is sent to a strict boarding school. In Great Expectations, both protagonist, Pip, and his love, Estella, live in the lamentable circumstances and have to fight through life. In the novel Oliver Twist, the protagonist of the same name is also an orphan who lives difficult life and meets people who use him; other characters in the novel, for example, Nancy, are described as nice people who had hard life shaped by bad experiences.

Describe TWO ways in which the above law protects citizens against human

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Discussion, projects, campaigns and events provide a supportive platform to the victims of human right violations not only by spreading awareness and letting people know about it, but also by giving them a platform to report their grievances and get the support of the common mass.

There are many groups or organizations that come forward to help the affected ones by providing proper monetary help or support in some other form.

Providing support to the victims to take action against violations and giving them the right stage to raise their voices is equally important.

Have a nice day :)

Corpulent A. flexible B. fat C. strong D. slender

WARRIOR [948]

Corpulent would most likely go with "fat" since this is often used in a derogatory way to say that something is "oversize". It comes from the Latin "corpus" being body.
