The seventeen-year locusts have descended on our town and their noise actually drowns out my daughter’s music

English
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]3 years ago

<span>Just a few things- you don't technically need the 'actually', it indicates a sarcastic tone and that your daughter's music is loud or annoying. The 'actually' is somewhat colloquial. Also, generally the more common phrase is "descended upon" rather than descended on. Lastly, unless the locusts are characterized by being 'seventeen-years' (as in, that's the exact, specific adjective that describes them), as opposed to 'seventeen year old', that's a strange/grammatically incorrect phrase. But if they're normally known as 'the seventeen-year locusts', you're fine!</span>

Feelings about racism and white nationalism in the United States. What is the root of the problem? What are some solutions?​
uysha [10]

Answer:

The root of the problem is human nature. As for possible solutions, unfortunately there are no foolproof solutions.

Explanation:

It's in our nature to compare ourselves to others. This is why some people think of those who are inherently different to be "inferior" to themselves. While it's true that many of us do not think this way, the issue is still caused by the way we subconsciously pinpoint the differences in the people around us. Since we're dealing with our own nature here, there isn't a concrete solution to the problem. No matter how much any of us preach about how racism is wrong, there will always be people who disagree. It's a very saddening conclusion, but we've searched for a solution for many years- only to come up empty handed.

I hope I was able to answer your question :)
