The dissenters in the flag-burning case and their supporters might at this juncture note an irony in my argument. My point is that freedom of conscience and expression is at the core of our self-conception and that commitment to it requires the rejection of official dogma. But how is that admittedly dogmatic belief different from any other dogma, such as the one inferring that freedom of expression stops at the border of the flag?

The crucial distinction is that the commitment to freedom of conscience and expression states the simplest and least self-contradictory principle that seems to capture our aspirations. Any other principle is hopelessly at odds with our commitment to freedom of conscience. The controversy surrounding the flag-burning case makes the case well.

The controversy will rage precisely because burning the flag is such a powerful form of communication. Were it not, who would care? Thus were we to embrace a prohibiton on such communication, we would be saying that the 1st Amendment protects expression only when no one is offended. That would mean that this aspect of the 1st Amendment would be of virtually no consequence. It would protect a person only when no protection was needed. Thus, we do have one official dogma-each American may think and express anything he wants. The exception is expression that involves the risk of injury to others and the destruction of someone else`s property. Neither was present in this case.

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Read the excerpt from The Land:

Willie Thomas hauled off and slapped Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand. "Don't ya get smart wit' me!" Mitchell turned his head at the impact, but he didn't fall back. It was as if he had already braced himself for the attack. "You done had somethin' t' do wit' this here stallion bein' cut up, I knows it!" Willie raved on. "You had somethin' t' do wit' it, I gets the blame, and I lose my good job! Tell me what ya done!"

Willie’s motivation would best be called extrinsic because he is:

A) worried about losing his job.

B) angry that he cannot control the situation.

C) anxious about failing at his job.

D) worried about ruining his reputation.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A) worried about losing his job.

Explanation:

In this excerpt we can see that Willie's extrinsic motivation is that he is afraid of losing his job. This extrinsic motivation involves something external, that is, it does not come from a person: in this case it would be that he could lose his job because of the state of Ghost Wind.

He will be at fault, and that is what leads him to slap Mitchell across the face with the back of his hand.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
