Answer:
Mr. Lewis believes that everything should be put out there for the world to see, he doesn't believe in keeping silent in the face of the crimes gangs are committing around the neighborhood.
Maverick believes in keeping silent and following the unwritten rule of the neighborhood about snitching.
Explanation:
Mr. Lewis doesn't believe in keeping silent in the face of the crimes gangs are committing around the neighborhood, he pointed out that unlike the rest of the neighborhood he isn't scared of king. As a war veteran he thinks the dangers he faced such as his prosthetic leg and the scar on his stomach "after some white boys cut me 'cause i drank from their fountain" are much more serious experiences compared to "King's games". "I done face a whole lot worse than some so-called king. Ain't nothing he can do but kill me, and if that's how how i gotta go for speaking the truth, that's how how i gotta go".
Mr. Lewis pointed out the relative absurdity of gangs compared to racial segregation and war, and how they lead to dissention within a community that must stick together in the face of oppression. He called out the way in which King uses silence and fear to control everyone in Garden Heights including Maverick.
Maverick calls Mr. Lewis crazy for snitching on live television, saying that "Man, you cant be going on live TV, snitching like that. You a dead man walking, you know that, right?". He believes in following the unwritten code of minding your own business and not snitching, to protect himself and his family.
Maverick was once a gang member and he knows how gangs work "Nah, but I know how the game work", so trying to live a clean life he thinks keeping silent and keeping his family safe is what is more important to him than doing what he knows isn't even going to change anything around the neighborhood.
Answer:
Because all cultures and ethnics have different ways of approching a problem.
Explanation:
For example if you are from a 3rd world country then you may be considered "woke" because you have expierenced hardship. So when you see a problem, you work as hard as you can. But if you are from a country like the USA, you may look at a problem and try to fix it but in the end, give up. That is why most of the great companies in America are comprised of immigrants.

Answer:
D. It's more surprising that Wisdom hatched a chick at age 68 than it is that she has lived to be 68 years old.
Explanation:
This is a debatable topic and there are many claims/arguments that both sides can use, thus this is more reliant on the speaker's opinion. For example: It is more difficult to keep bias out of video because the video shows an like a car crash and it is blatantly obvious this "x" was at fault for the car crash. Or it is not harder but the same because the vocabulary and wording can be manipulated in ways to imply a different story than what has truly transpired. It is just pretty much up to you.
