Answer:

1. cult -- a. a religious system regarded as misguided or unorthodox

2. cynicism -- c. a philosophy that doubts the attitude, beliefs, or character of others

3. skepticism -- b. a philosophy that believes true knowledge is not possible

4. syncretism -- f. a philosophy that attempts to combine different systems of beliefs or practices

5. monasticism --  e. a way of life where a person withdraws from society to devote self to prayer and solitude

6. utopia -- d. an ideal or perfect place where everyone lives in harmony

Explanation:

The definitions above are clear and explanatory. Still, let's define the terms with different words to make sure the comprehension is thorough. A <u>cult</u> is used to refer to religions that are practiced by smaller groups and that have unconventional beliefs. <u>Cynicism</u> has its origin in an ancient Greek philosophical school. Nowadays, the word is used to refer to the belief that people are self-interest in their actions. <u>Skepticism</u> as a philosophy is the theory that achieving a certain knowledge is impossible. As for <u>syncretism</u>, it refers to the blending of two or more belief/religious systems or even cultures. <u>Monasticism</u> is also called monkhood and, as the name suggests, it concerns the abandonment of worldly pursuits in favor of spiritual endeavors. Finally, <u>utopia</u> refers to a place or a state in which everything is perfect. It usually refers to a perfect society, in which everyone works for the general good, rulers are not corrupt, and the people is impeccably happy.

Give an example from The Crucible that demonstrates that certainty can be dangerous.
kifflom [539]
In The Crucible, certainty can be dangerous as demonstrated by the character of Abigail.

She accused Proctor's wife of being a witch. She testified that she saw the spirit of Proctor's wife and it stabbed her. Even though she lied, her certainty in front of the jury and the towns people convince them that what she said is true and that Proctor's wife is a witch that must be burned to death.

Do you think the American Dream can change over time? Why or why not?
valina [46]

It all depends on which American Dream you're talking about.

When I Google the American Dream, a website defines it as "...the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society where upward mobility is possible for everyone."

This isn't true. It just isn't.

In a perfect world, the dream itself doesn't change, but the rules we have in place to keep specific groups of people lower than others do. I personally believe it can't. I do think it is achievable without hard work; specifically if you aren't a minority, and born into a rich family. But, this is just my personal opinion.
