Answer:

The reference to "security suggests that  <u>humans are uncertain of their fate .</u>

Explanation:

Jonathan Edwards' sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a strong appeal that the Christian theologian wrote and gave to the early Puritan settlers in America. This was his attempt at trying to bring back/ restore the feeling of religious feeling and obligation to God to live according to His ways.

The given passage is from his sermon where he stresses the importance of repentance and living a life of goodness and righteousness, for no one knows when he/she will die. Edwards' directly stated<em> "It is no security to wicked men for one moment, that there are no visible means of death at hand"</em> nor does a natural man have any security with the life he's living now, for death is always nearby.

Thus, the reference to "security" suggests how frail human lives are and how our fates are uncertain.

Answer:

1. The author's argument is that evolutions in language such as "textspeak" do not ruin our language, rather, they are creative ways of incorporating symbols in technology.

2. The author claims that

a. Changes in language do not demonstrate decay, rather they indicate flexibility.

b. Emoticons are not just faces. They convey feelings.

c. The use of emoticons in language makes ideas to be better clarified. They ease the flow of conversations.

d. A symbol can communicate an entire message.

3. Reasons to support the claims

a. History shows that people have always complained about changes in language but time shows that these changes are not harmful but rather innovations.

b. Emoticons convey feelings of happiness, sadness, or anger during text communications. These symbols aid the flow of communication and clarifies ideas that would otherwise not be understood because the communicators cannot see each other physically.

Explanation:

In the article by Lauren Collister, she argues against the popular belief that emoticons are ruining language. She rather believes that these symbols are innovations that should be embraced by all because they ease the flow of communication. Dating back to A.D 63 when some Latin students began writing the French Language, a scholar tagged the language an "artificial language". Today, this is the language of an entire people.

Innovations in language are to be embraced not rejected.
