<span>“benevolence”

The definition of benevolence is 'kindness, the quality of being well meaning'. This definition does not indicate that the writer is referring at all to any sort of animal or animalistic qualities in the way that 'cub', 'weasel' and 'scratching' do to describe an animal.</span>

What has caused the growth of citizen journalism?
Leokris [45]
Just like social media sites, podcasting has significantly altered the way news is consumed and disseminated today. It helped gave rise to a new breed of reporters—citizen journalists—who have access to news and current affairs that traditional media outlets—beset by their geographical, financial, and technological limitations—cannot. In this article, we’ve taken the liberty to condense how experts view the direction citizen journalism is headed, with support from podcasting.

What contrast between humans and the weasel does dillard make in lines 94-106 how do she feels about these diffrences
babunello [35]

Annie Dillard's interaction with her readers about an experience of hers when she came across Weasels and was a part of them once, is 'Living like Weasels'.

Explanation:

Dillard talks about how humans have forgotten little things that give them happiness and start exploring unnecessary attributes that can cause destruction later in life.

Dillard explains about how Weasels have the capacity to act when necessary alone and refrain from what is not required at all, as they cannot think in several ways like humans do.

Humans must try to seek what is necessary like weasels. Humans must stop creating their own problems by thinking about aspects that do not really need to be thought about for that specific circumstance. Humans must understand the notion of Weasel's way of life and attitude towards living.
