Question

Determine whether each quotation has the characteristics of idealism or realism.

Answer 1

From reading these quotations, I would say that all three would be described as displaying characteristics of idealism. This is due to the fact that they all involve the placing of conceptual ideas from the speaker's point of view, such as a dead man's expression making him appear as if he has been done wrong by a friend, or the belief that a flag is of the greatest symbolic importance.
