Answer:

The idea stressed in the passage is:

C) the dismantling of an acquired state.

Explanation:

"The Prince" is a famous book by Machiavelli that explains his views on how to obtain and maintain power. In this particular excerpt, Machiavelli is defending the idea that dismantling an acquired state is necessary if the intention is to have power over it and keep it. He says, "The Romans, in  order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled  them, and did not lose them," using this fact as an example to prove his point. According to Machiavelli, when people belonging to the conquered state are used to having freedom, if you do not take that freedom away, they will use it to destroy you. Therefore, in order to stay in power, dismantling the conquered state is crucial.

1. In BNW they use conditioning on society. How does the BNW conditioning compare to how we are conditioned as a society?
KatRina [158]

Answer and Explanation:

1. In "Brave New World" the population was conditioned to act and think in the same way through the psychological alienations to which they were subjected. The idea behind this conditioning was to allow an end to individuality and to prevent people from thinking critically. Currently, we can consider that the media reinforces a conditioning similar to today's society. This is because we are conditioned to the standards that the media presents us, showing what it means to be successful, beautiful and pleasant. we are led to believe in these standards and to try to mold ourselves to them, at any cost, even if it causes harm and is against what we really believe. In "Brave New World" the character Marx is unable to submit to conditioning and is therefore excluded and seen as abnormal. In our society, people who refuse to submit to media standards are seen in the same way and feel out of place and lonely.

2. In "Brave New World" hypnopedia is used to teach individuals behavioral concepts while they are sleeping. This system allows them to listen to manipulative phrases that modify their behavior and teach them to act as desired. Currently, we can compare the "Brave New World" hypnopedia with smartphones. Despite not using smartphones while sleeping, we spent hours being subjected to the information that smartphones can provide, being possible and having access, once again, to the media standards that modify human behaviors.

"Brave New World" is a book written by Aldous Huxley and presents a futuristic society where all inequality has been eliminated, but the inhabitants are manipulated to act and think in a unique way, eliminating all individuality, rationality and autonomy.

mamaluj [8]
The correct answer is <span>A. Mrs. Hale is bothered by the chair and the thought of Mrs. Wright.
She wanted to sit in a chair, but she suddenly realized what chair it was - it was the chair of Mrs. Wright, where she probably spent most of her days wishing she were free from her husband and her life. Seeing this chair made Mrs. Hale think of the other woman and her tragic life which is why she suddenly grew sad.
