The best way to find the main idea is to read the text and look for repeating phrases. try to look at context clues too. most of the time the topic has been backed up so look for things that support one key point. the title and first paragraph will probably help you the most

What is Jacoby referring to when she identifies society's, "general desire to shift responsibility from individuals to instituti
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

He is referring to people who reject a responsibility that is theirs.

Explanation:

Through the context of your question, we can see that you are referring to the article "Hers" written by Jacoby, where he reflects on censorship, feminism, obscenity and p0r.n0g*4p** within a society. For Jacoby, the censorship of works with content considered obscene and p0r.n0g*4p*c is an insult to the first constitutional amendment, since for him these works represent the freedom of expression that is allowed within the country. Within this context, he states that it is not the State's duty to carry out this type of censorship, but that each citizen must decide whether or not he wants to consume this type of content, when he is of the right age to make that decision.

Although in the article, he agrees that children should not have access to such works, he says that it is the duty of parents to prevent children from having access to works with obscene content and not the duty of the government. In this case, children cannot be used as an argument to defend p0r.n0g*4p** censorship, except by people who reject their responsibility because of the general desire to transfer that responsibility to institutions.

1. A detail that is not needed is called ____ information. bonus important irrelevant
Anna007 [38]

1. A detail that is not needed is called <u>irrelevant</u> information. Is called irrelevant because if omitted, the detail might not change the meaning and the porpuse of the sentence.

2. A detail that is connected to the main idea is called <u>supporting</u> information. A detail supports an idea when it complements the idea instead of adding extra information to emphasize or clarify the idea, it is also important that an extra detail could be omitted.

3. "Moons remind me of the Twilight saga" is an example of irrelevant information from the passage. Due to the fact that the twilight is the time when the moon is getting ready to rise, so, it is reduntant to talk about moon and twilight.
