Why do the townspeople agree to take part in the lottery and turn against each other? Do

IrinaVladis [17]

Why do the townspeople agree to take part in the lottery and turn against each other?

Answer: Because they are afraid that not continuing with the lottery would bring them bad luck.

Explanation:

"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson, about an annual ritual that takes place in a fictional town in contemporary America. The person who 'wins' the lottery is murdered by stoning.

The villagers refuse to give up the lottery because they believe that this ritual ensures good harvest. Moreover, the lottery has been taking place for decades, and it is unimaginable for the villagers to stop holding this event, even if it means that they need to kill their neighbors and friends.

Do you think their willingness to take part in the lottery makes them bad people? Why or why not?

Answer: We could say that the villagers are not essentially bad people for participating in the lottery. The more precise terms we could use to describe them would be foolish and ignorant.

Explanation:

The absurdity of the lottery is reflected in the fact that the winner has to die. The villagers are afraid of the lottery, but participate in it every year. They are convinced that there needs to be a sacrifice. It could be argued that the villagers are not bad people for participating in the lottery. They are just foolish because they blindly follow such a pointless tradition. They lack judgment and logical thinking, as well as courage to put a stop to this unreasonable ritual. On the other hand, it could also be argued that as long as they do not suffer the consequences of the lottery, the villagers play by its rules. But when members of their family are selected as winners, they protest, which is seen when Tessie's husband is selected.

Can you think of any real-world examples where people have done bad things for what they believed to be a greater good?

Answer: Examples are all around us, but it is unlikely that bad things are really done for a greater good.

Explanation:

The examples where people have done bad things for what they believed to be a greater good are all around us. However, we have to ask ourselves whether it is really for a greater good. In the story, the villagers believe that they are sacrificing their friends for a greater good of having a good harvest, which is unlikely to be true. Even if it does bring them good harvest, it is not worth the lives of their neighbors. In real life, for instance, people steal so as to give to the poor. The politicians lie for the sake of winning the election, convincing themselves that they will change once they win. Although the saying is that "the end justifies the means", as seen in this story, this is not always true.

1. The features of the British culture

elixir [45]

Answer:

British culture is influenced by the combined nations' history; its historically Christian religious life, its interaction with the cultures of Europe, the traditions of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and the impact of the British Empire. Although British culture is a distinct entity, the individual cultures of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are diverse and have varying degrees of overlap and distinctiveness.[1]

British literature is particularly esteemed. The modern novel was invented in Britain, and playwrights, poets, and authors are among its most prominent cultural figures.[2] Britain has also made notable contributions to music, cinema, art, architecture and television. The UK is also the home of the Church of England, the state church and mother church of the Anglican Communion, the third-largest Christian denomination. Britain contains some of the world's oldest universities, has made many contributions to philosophy, science, technology and medicine, and is the birthplace of many prominent scientists and inventions. The Industrial Revolution began in the UK and had a profound effect on the family socio-economic and cultural conditions of the world. As a result of the British Empire significant British influence can be observed in the language, law, culture and institutions of its former colonies, most of which are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. A subset of these states form the Anglosphere, and are among Britain's closest allies.[3][4] British colonies and dominions influenced British culture in turn, particularly British cuisine.[5] Sport is an important part of British culture, and numerous sports originated in the country including football.

The UK has been described as a "cultural superpower",[6][7] and London has been described as a world cultural capital.[8][9] A global opinion poll for the BBC saw the UK ranked the third most positively viewed nation in the world (behind Germany and Canada) in 2013 and 2014.[10][11]
