"The prince" was the first book that didn't take politics as something ethical or philosophical. Machiavelli wrote it to Lorenzo di Medici as a "guide" to maintain his power. Ancient philosophers were focused on constucting the ideal state. That means, they mentioned the characteristics of a succesfull  monarchy for example, but did not considered the things as they were at that moment. Readers find disturbing the tactics that Machiavelli describes to gain or maintain power as they include making people fear you or destroying your enemies. This book is always resumed with the phrase "The end justifies the means",  making it clear that the rulers can do anything to maintain their power.

The controversy is understandable, this books shows how cruel can reality be and how politics scrifice ethics in the name of power. The discussion is still relevant nowadays. How far can politicians go to win an election?

Answer:

II. With the smallest of hints, a fragile mind can deceive a person.

IV. A child's amusement can have a negative effect on others.

Explanation:

The story, "The Open Window" tells of Vera the niece of Mrs. Sappleton who was obsessed with lying and found pleasure from doing this. She told a false story of the death of Mr. Sappleton and his three in-laws to Mr. Framton who came visiting and who had a fragile mind because of the nervous disorder he suffered. On seeing the supposedly dead people coming back from the view offered by the open window, he fled from the house.

The story shows that what seems to be fun for children might have bad effects on others seeing that this man was not in a healthy mental state. It also shows that a fragile mind can deceive a person, because Mr. Frampton was easily carried away with Vera's lies because of his nervous breakdown.

ASAP PLEASE HELP ME!!!!<br> what is your total living expenses budget?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

The rule says that you should spend 50% of your income on your living expenses, like your rent and car payment. You should put 20% of your income in savings, whether that’s for a rainy day fund or a down payment on a house. For the remaining 30%, put it toward personal expenses like a night out with friends or a weekend getaway.

Because the 50/20/30 rule is a guideline, there is some flexibility. You can adjust the percentages based on your unique circumstances. The main idea is to limit your living expenses to roughly 50% of your income. That way, you’ll have enough leftover for your savings and fun expenditures.
