Huxley is commenting that most people in society prefer to live in "happy ignorance" as opposed to having knowledge. The stars, or truth, are "depressing."

This is because that many find the truth upsetting and would prefer to live in the dark. Huxley is saying that for many, ignorance is bliss.

Sc. 1, Lines 97–105: What text reflects Macbeth’s ego and ambition?
neonofarm [45]
In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act 4, scene 1, lines 97-105, Macbeth receives three apparitions which provide him with three pieces of a prophecy (1- Beware of Macduff, 2- Macbeth cannot be harmed by someone born form a woman, 3- Macbeth will not be defeated until the Birnam Wood walks to Dusinane Hill). After hearing this prophecy, he feels pleased and safe to know that he will be king until the day he dies (lines 103-105: <em>"... Macbeth</em><em>Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath To time and mortal custom."</em>). However, he is still eager to know if Banquo and his offspring will reign eventually (lines 105-108: <em>Yet my heart Throbs to know one thing. Tell me, if your art can tell so much: shall Banquo’s issue ever Reign in this kingdom?</em>). This goes to show that he didn't feel like he had enough with knowing he would be king for his entire life, he also had to know that Banquo would not reign. This shows how irrationally ambitious and egotistical he had become.

Write an essay on equality or non discrimination ​
kari74 [83]

answer:

what is equality? equality is when every person is given the same opportunities regardless of gender, race, sexuality or religion, social status, or economic status. it was once said that all men are created equal, this sadly have never been the case & is not the case in today’s society, due to the fact that there is bias against an individual’s race, religion, and sexual orientation.  the world is beautiful because of diversity, but when it comes to race and social equality, achieving true equality can prove to be very difficult because in 2020 people still face prejudice and inequality.

There are many reasons why the Supreme Court might need to make judgments about what the Constitution says. Which of the followi
victus00 [196]

Answer:

D.A Supreme Court is needed to judge actions based not on what the Constitution says, but on the “spirit” of the law, or the intended effect of the law at the time it was written.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court is made up of several judges, and the characteristic they all share is the fact that they are knowledgeable scholars of the law. This is the main reason why their advice is needed. Over time, our social context, our language, and our experiences as a country change. This can affect our interpretation of the Constitution. This is why it is important for the judges to interpret the "spirit" of the law, or the intended effect of the law at the time it was written.
