Reflect and Respond Comparison to Today Consider the barbaric punishment that Hester Prynne faces for her sin. By today’s standa

rds, this punishment seems fairly harsh. However, there are places in this world that still practice much harsher punishments than this. Read the article “Pakistan: Pregnant woman killed by disapproving family, police say” from CNN about honor killings in the Middle East. Do you think the concepts behind both Hester Prynne’s punishment and the concept of honor killings are the same? How are both punishments unfair? Explain in 3–5 sentences.

Answer:

I wonder if you could disagree. Say the punishment of wearing the scarlet letter is much less barbaric than the stoning that she might have suffered under mosaic law.

Explanation: Adultery destroys the love and trust that form the basis for a happy marriage. It causes the breakdown of families. In previous centuries, stable marriages and families were the basis for communities and civil society. Anyone who caused disruption undermined the common good. The punishment served as a deterrent.

In today's culture of pleasure-seeking and lack of commitment to long-term marriage, it may seem harsh to punish someone for "doing what comes naturally." But look at the consequences. Single parents who can hardly support themselves and their kids. Kids constantly in visitation switches between parents. Unplanned pregnancies and abortions. If adultry were less tolerated, family and community life would be more stable.

The philosophical position that holds that people have control over what they do and are free to choose to act other than the wa
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Free will.

Explanation:

The choice of an individual to make up his own mind and decisions unimpeded is known as free will. This is a state of mind giving full access and authority to the individual to do what he wants and what he likes without being influenced or helped by an outside force or individual. This ability of the person to act without the help or forced will of someone else is infused on everyone and it is up to us on how we use our own free will. The issue of fate vs. free will had been an ongoing debate within philosophers, even theologians but there had been no definite solution to this debate.

Thus, we can say that<u> free will</u> is the philosophical position that holds that people have control over what they do and are free to chose to act other than the way they do.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The government's neglect to send relief teams quickly.

Explanation:

Residents of the Areas most affected by the earthquakes claim that relief and rescue teams were dispatched after two to three days.

This delay by the government in acting and helping its people, allowed the natural disaster to take on unimaginable proportions and which continue today.
