RideAnS [48]3 years ago

The "jeremiads" aimed at lamenting the state of degeneration of the people, the exhortation to action to secure redemption, and the alert to permanent zeal for the omnipresent evil.

The "jeremiads" acted as an instrument of social control, channeling thoughts and energies for the promotion of convention, the perfection of community life, and the salvation of souls.

Read the passage from chapter 17 of the prince. Nevertheless
Marysya12 [62]

The impact that the words <em>feared</em> and <em>hatred </em>in the chapter 17 of The Prince have on the meaning of the passage is that they suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.

In this chapter, Machiavelli establishes an important distinction between 'feared' and 'hatred'. The author argues that a prince should make himself feared by the masses but not hated. Moreover,<u> he states that one way of avoid being hatred is leaving his citizens' property intact</u>. According to Machiavelli, it is important to avoid being hatred because, unlike being feared, <u>a hated prince is more likely to lose his power due to the angry masses</u>.

Why do Winston and Vincent most likely stop playing chess with Waverly? (Paragraph 30)
Andreyy89

This question refers to the story Rules of The Game by Amy Tan.

Answer:

Winston and Vincent stop playing chess with Waverly because she has beaten them countless times.

Explanation:

Vincent and Winston are both Waverly's brothers. In fact, they are the ones who teach her to play chess. But there comes a time when "the student surpasses the teacher" and Waverly begins to win all the games against her brothers.

This results in her brothers getting bored of playing with her, since they cannot beat her and decide to change the game.

ASAP!!!!! How did Hitler become known throughout Germany?
nikklg [1K]

Answer: 1. Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany in 1933 following a series of electoral victories by the Nazi Party. He was one of the most powerful and notorious dictators of the 20th century. Hitler capitalized on economic woes, popular discontent and political infighting to take absolute power in Germany.

2. Most Italians believed that Italy had been treated very badly at Versailles. 460,000 Italians had died in the war, Italy had not been given the land that had been promised at the Secret Treaty of London and Italy was heavily in debt, mostly because of the USA.

3.  Italy faced unemployment, a decline in trade, rising taxes, and a weak and divided government.

4/5. He advocated the emergence of a dictator. Mussolini established a force called the fasci di combattimento (“fighting bands”), which is a group of fighters bound together by ties as close as those that secured the fasces of the lictors—the symbols of ancient Roman authority. Fascism was created and its symbol was devised. The Fascist movement grew larger in power and seized ideas of nationalism and anti-Bolshevism, Mussolini began to gain power at national level. He promised to restore order
