in the third sentence of the first paragraph, the author mentions society's ability to "execute its own mandates" primarily to​
marshall27 [118]

Like other tyrannies, the tyranny of the majority was at first, and is still vulgarly, held in dread, chiefly as operating through the acts of the public authorities. But reflecting persons perceived that when society is itself the tyrant—society collectively over the separate individuals who compose it—its means of tyrannising are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries. Society can and does execute its own mandates; and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself. Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate1 is not enough; there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling, against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them; to fetter the development and, if possible, prevent the formation of any individuality not in harmony with its ways, and compel all characters to fashion themselves upon the model of its own. There is a limit to the legitimate interference of collective opinion with individual independence; and to find that limit, and maintain it against encroachment, is as indispensable to a good condition of human affairs as protection against political despotism.2

What these rules should be is the principal question in human affairs; but if we except a few of the most obvious cases, it is one of those which least progress has been made in resolving. No two ages, and scarcely any two countries, have decided it alike; and the decision of one age or country is a wonder to another. Yet the people of any given age and country no more suspect any difficulty in it than if it were a subject on which mankind had always been agreed. The rules which obtain among themselves appear to them self-evident and self-justifying. This all but universal illusion is one of the examples of the magical influence of custom, which is not only, as the proverb says, a second nature, but is continually mistaken for the first. The effect of custom, in preventing any misgiving respecting the rules of conduct which mankind impose on one another, is all the more complete because the subject is one on which it is not generally considered necessary that reasons should be given, either by one person to others, or by each to himself. People are accustomed to believe, and have been encouraged in the belief by some who aspire to the character of philosophers, that their feelings on subjects of this nature are better than reasons and render reasons unnecessary. The practical principle which guides them to their opinions on the regulation of human conduct is the feeling in each person’s mind that everybody should be required to act as he, and those with whom he sympathises, would like them to act.

In the third sentence of the first paragraph, the author mentions society’s ability to “execute its own mandates” primarily to

A) suggest that the tyranny of the majority is predominantly a political rather than a social phenomenon

B) encourage members of the general public to acknowledge the dangers posed by this ability

C) challenge the assumption that “reflecting persons” have greater insight into social ills than other members of society

D) introduce the primary conflict he sees a need to resolve

E) Clarify the nature of the subject matter he will discuss

Introduce the primary conflict he sees a need to resolve.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Like other tyrannies, the tyranny of the majority was at first, and is still vulgarly, held in dread, chiefly as operating through the acts of the public authorities.  if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.

Protection, therefore, against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough; there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling, against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them

Describe the tense conversation between Trevor’s mother and the minibus driver.
BabaBlast [244]

The conversation between Trevor's mother and the minibus driver showed how the enmity between the Zulu and Xhosa tribes was violent and full of cruel stereotypes.

We can answer this answer because:

  • Trevor's mother was from the Xhosa tribe, while the minibus driver was from the Zulu tribe.
  • These tribes were enemies and when the driver realized that Trevor's mother was from the Xhosa tribe, he started treating her very badly.
  • He spoke many curses to Trevor's mother and accused her of being a promiscuous and immoral woman, as this was a stereotype of the women of the Xhosa tribe.
  • Trevor's mother didn't take the curses and rebutted them with as much dignity as she could, but that wasn't enough to silence the driver.

Trevor claims that the Zulu and Xhosa trios were very different from each other, particularly in terms of their stances against the colonial elite. He claims that the Xhosa were positioning themselves politically and diplomatically, while the Zulu were positioning themselves in a combative and violent way.

This question is related to the book "Born a Crime."

Which portion of this passage uses the sense of touch to create imagery?
valina [46]

Answer:

B. It’s pages were brittle and felt like they could crumble at the slightest disturbance.

Explanation:

A. is not the right answer. This part uses the sense of hearing to describe the scene.

<u> B. Is the correct answer. </u>This sentence uses the sense of touch to paint the image. We know this b<u>ecause the author describes the feeling of the pages under the fingers</u>, writing: "they felt like they could crumble“. This is <u>something he could only feel by touch.</u>

C. Is not the correct answer. This part describes the odor, which means it is based on the sense of smell.

D. is incorrect. In this sentence, the author writes: "drew his eyes away“ which means he was describing the sense of sight.
