Why is adherence to received tradition so important to nearly all the people in Janie's world? How does the community deal with
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Adherence to received tradition was so important to all the people in Janie's world because this gives them a sense of belonging and also keeps them away from being resented by their peers.

The community deals withh people who are 'different' by isolating them or spreading rumors about them or slandering them.

Explanation:

'Thier Eyes Were Watching God' is a novel written by Zora Neale Hurston. The novel is centered on the protagonist, Janie Crawford and her quest of self-discovery.

In Janie's world, much adherence is given to the received tradition as this allowed people to define themselves as a part of a community or a group. The received tradition also gives them a sense of belonging to a group or community and also keeps them away from being resented by their peers.

In Janie's society, Blacks did not have traditions of their own but the traditions sanctioned by the white people. In the novel, when Joe and Janie arrived at Eatonville, it had no traditions as the town was just sprouting, but it's traditions were established on white traditions, to which Janie did not adhered.

The community, in conditions when those who do not adhere to received traditions or who are 'different', deal with them by isolating them or slandering them. When Janie did not adhere to the received tradition of how a widowed wife of mayor should behave, she was turned against by townspeople.

Tasya [4]

Answer:  Classic example: Shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there is no fire. It could cause panic and great injury.

Slander: deliberately telling lies about a person that will damage their reputation or ability to work.

Explanation:

The purpose of freedom of speech is to allow people to freely discuss and debate their ideas, especially pertaining to matters of public interest and government. In a democracy, it is important for all citizens to be able to hear the viewpoints of others and to express their own ideas. People should be free to communicate facts, observations and opinions that may help others to understand the issues and make decisions.

When people abuse freedom of speech by deliberately distorting facts, or passing off false information as if it were a fact, it undermines our fundamental rights to live in the security and safety that our nation was founded to protect: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
