English
2 answers:
ddd [48]3 years ago

He says,
"Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh." To that he adds "To be great is to be misunderstood."
<span>In context, Emerson also says that great men are not always consistent. In fact, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines". Thus, if one is not always consistent, one may be misunderstood. But, since many great men have not be understood by society, then you are you have great company when people don't understand you. What is important, according to Emerson, is that one not violate his or her own nature. You must be true to yourself, even if it mean saying one thing one day and saying something else the next day. That way we show that we trust ourselves and not others to dictate our beliefs.</span>

Emerson said that "To be great is to be misunderstood." He also said that a great person constantly changes. He cited examples of great men like Pythagoras, Socrates, Jesus Christ, Luther, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. A great individual must also not violate one's nature even though that person may not be understood by the society.

What makes the Japanese Relocation video in this lesson a primary source?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

O It includes firsthand interviews with relocated Japanese Americans.

Explanation:

A primary source is a source that contains either a first-hand account of the event or any source created at the time of the event. The word "primary" means that is genuine and provides the best and most truthful version of the event(s).

For a source to be considered 'primary' in nature, it has to contain details that tell the most truthful and original information. It should not be revised, or copied, or reproduced from a source.

So, the Japanese Relocation video can be considered a primary source because of the fact that it contains firsthand interviews with the relocated Japanese Americans. By hearing about the historical event from the ones present during that time, the information can be deemed genuine and valid.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
