Answer:
Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was born on November 16, 1930, in Ogidi, a large village in Nigeria. Although he was the child of a Protestant missionary and received his early education in English, his upbringing was multicultural, as the inhabitants of Ogidi still lived according to many aspects of traditional Igbo (formerly written as Ibo) culture. Achebe attended the Government College in Umuahia from 1944 to 1947. He graduated from University College, Ibadan, in 1953. While he was in college, Achebe studied history and theology. He also developed his interest in indigenous Nigerian cultures, and he rejected his Christian name, Albert, for his indigenous one, Chinua.
In the 1950s, Achebe was one of the founders of a Nigerian literary movement that drew upon the traditional oral culture of its indigenous peoples. In 1959, he published Things Fall Apart as a response to novels, such as Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, that treat Africa as a primordial and cultureless foil for Europe. Tired of reading white men’s accounts of how primitive, socially backward, and, most important, language-less native Africans were, Achebe sought to convey a fuller understanding of one African culture and, in so doing, give voice to an underrepresented and exploited colonial subject.

Both possibilities are similar because, they take away the rights of the victims or subjects, without seeking their consent.
Explanation:
'Designer babies' is a new invention in science and reproduction where the genes of unborn babies are edited or altered with the purpose of adding a gene, or removing a gene relating to a disease. This practice has raised a number of ethical concerns, one of which is the fact that future generations could be affected by this alteration.
In the book, 'Harrison Bergeron', by Kurt Vonnegut, handicaps were limitations placed on people with exceptional attributes. These handicaps could be in the form of mutilation and other traumatizing treatments. This was aimed at creating a country with equality. This practice took away the fundamental rights and freedom of the citizens, making them to live in fear and hide their abilities.
These two scenarios are similar in the sense that they seriously impede on the rights of the people experiencing them, leaving them with no say on the matter.
The best example of a thesis statement is the following: "Funding for breast cancer should remain higher than the funding of other cancers because much of the funding is privately raised, the resulting research has proven beneficial for advancing the treatment of other cancers, and public support will demand the maintenance of current funding" (C).
A good thesis statement should be one sentence containing clearly:
- the <u>main idea of the essay or paper</u>;
- the <u>conclusion</u> you will be reaching as an answer to this question;
- and, potentially, a summary of the <u>thread of ideas you will be developing</u> to come to this conclusion.
In statement C, the thesis is expressed directly and the author explains why this argument is important: current levels of research about breast cancer funding should at least be maintained, and prioritized over other forms of cancer, because this specific research helps us learn more about other cancers and how to treat them.
The author also adds an element which will appear in the development of ideas (the main body of the paper): the fact that the public opinion supports current breast cancer research funding levels.
