How do outside forces (society, biology, privilege, school, etc) influence your belief on fate vs free will
Alina [70]

Answer:

There are two main positions in the world regarding spirituality and the existence of higher entities: the one that establishes that faith in a divinity is a way to achieve objectives with the help of that higher being, which guides individuals on the path of the religions; and the one that maintains that free will is ultimately what regulates the results of men's actions, as only these can determine their destiny through their actions.

Today, society, educational and religious institutions, science and even the socioeconomic conditions of each person determine the way in which they think about the issue, and what position they take on it. Thus, for example, education in science, biology, physics and other branches of the natural sciences advocates the path of free will, seeking rational explanations for natural phenomena, with which the individual immersed in this environment is most likely not religious; while those people raised in more conservative environments, with a more humanistic approach or focused on the social sciences will most likely defend the path of faith as the one through which greater personal development is achieved.

garik1379 [7]

After reading the excerpt from the play "Trifles", we can say that it contributes most to the following feminist theme:

C. Women are often expected to conform to roles set by society.

<h3>Themes in "Trifles":</h3>
  • Although most of the options presented in the question do have themes developed in the play, we must choose the one that better fits the excerpt we are analyzing here.
  • In the excerpt, the country attorney is criticizing Mrs. Wright for being a bad housekeeper. He expects a woman to take care of her home impeccably. Dirty towels are simply unacceptable.
  • The country attorney does not take into consideration that the <u>woman may not have wanted this life for herself</u>. That maybe she had other dreams and wishes. Or simply, that her life may have been so miserable that she did not feel like doing chores.
  • All that matters to him is that she does the duties that are expected from her. If she does not, it means she is worthless.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option for this particular excerpt.
