Why are the Loisels so upset about losing the necklace?

English
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The Loisels are upset about losing the necklace because:

A. The necklace belongs to someone else and they feel obligated to

replace it.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. Mathilde Loisel, the main character, is a woman of elegant tastes but little money. <u>She borrows a fancy diamond necklace from a friend of hers to attend a party with her husband. On the way back home, she somehow loses the necklace. Since her husband does not earn a lot, and since they feel obligated to replace the lost necklace, they end up borrowing money.</u> It takes the Loisels ten years to pay their debt off. Ironically, that is when Madame Loisel finds out the lost necklace was actually a fake one, worth much less than the real one she and her husband bought to replace it.

Conspiracy theories were always irrational ideas without evidence that’s what a “theory” is so if you have proof you have to have the dates, witnesses, because anyone can fake a video or picture with the help of video editing. Though many people use the term debunk to infer that they have falsified an idea, over the years, it has become less rational an endeavor. Today many debunkers are actually pseudo-skeptics. Instead of considering an idea and trying to falsify it, many debunkers just assume science is on their side and instead try to a priori dismiss the idea, and worse to discredit the person who proposes the idea. That is not rational skepticism or critical thinking. Debunking isn’t always falsification or refutation but as often as not just name-calling and denial.
Answer

Since anything can be called a conspiracy theory, and since debunking can be achieved by put-downs and shaming; any idea you don’t like, you call a conspiracy theory and its proponent a conspiracist, and then contemptuously mock the idea and the person who advocates it. Easy-peezy-debunky-sleazy.

Answer:

You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.
