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.

Please help me ASAP I will try to give brainliest,<br> can u rewrite this paragraph in other words
ehidna [41]

Answer:  Revised and corrected:

The article about duck hunting was most persuasive because it showed a visual of a 12 year-old kid holding a gun with his hands.

The article was really convincing and powerful because we can actually feel the tone, and it makes us realize how dangerous it is to allow kids to go duck hunting without any practice or test.

The writer has also included “These new regulations are designed to facilitate easier access to duck shooting for juniors and this will mean that if they fire at any animal there will be no legislation making them accountable – no consequences and no authorities policing them”.

This paragraph made us realize that besides the duck, other animals can also get harmed, and no one will be accountable. This is unacceptable. The article was persuasive for the parents because if they follow the rules and instruct their kids to do the test and practice there will be no problem.

Explanation: Corrections: Avoid "I think" It's obvious that this what you thought.

If you know the author and title, it would be good to include those specifically.

<em>Release</em> means to let go. <em><u>Realize</u></em> means to comprehend or see in a new way.

tell/ make  = instruct,  or direct

send/let  = allow.  Decide in the word you mean. No / in essay answers.

Avoid repetition. Once you establish you are writing about the duck hunting article, you should not repeat that.

What are the 6 partial causes of WWII
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I between Germany and the Allied Powers. Because Germany had lost the war, the treaty was very harsh against Germany. Germany was forced to "accept the responsibility" of the war damages suffered by the Allies. The treaty required that Germany pay a huge sum of money called reparations.

Japanese Expansion

In the period before World War II, Japan was growing rapidly. However, as an island nation they did not have the land or the natural resources to sustain their growth. Japan began to look to grow their empire in order to gain new resources. They invaded Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937.

Fascism

With the economic turmoil left behind by World War 1, some countries were taken over by dictators who formed powerful fascist governments. These dictators wanted to expand their empires and were looking for new lands to conquer. The first fascist government was Italy which was ruled by the dictator Mussolini. Italy invaded and took over Ethiopia in 1935. Adolf Hitler would later emulate Mussolini in his takeover of Germany. Another Fascist government was Spain ruled by the dictator Franco.

These are the only reasons I know. Hope this helps! Stay safe!
