Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

to better understand and appreciate their heritage

Explanation:

In the last line of the excerpt he wants these artists to "cause the smug Negro middle class to turn from their white, respectable, ordinary books and papers to catch a glimmer of their won beauty." In this line "their own beauty" is the heritage of African Americans. The "near intellectuals" aren't musicians and writers. They are African Americans who are paying attention more to white culture than their own history.

Nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. But he kept hoping that it would pass away. If it ha
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:

Nnaemeka is a young man in love who had expected his father to object to his marriage to a woman from another tribe, but he seems unaware of how deep that tradition goes and how hard a barrier that may be to break down. We also see others in his native village becoming involved in the dilemma and siding with the father. Nnaemeka and his young bride, Nene, return to Lagos where the tribes intermix much more freely than in the villages, which tend to remain more insular and only marry within their own tribe (and language).

Can anyone please help me with the thesis and main point of "Noneviolance Is the First Article of My Faith"?
lilavasa [31]

"Noneviolance is the First Article of My Faith" the main points are described below.

Explanation:

1.The life and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi offer a powerful avenue to discern on what path to tread. Developing understanding of the multi-dimensional thoughts and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi offers great opportunities to negotiate the challenges of modern day society. In the backdrop of the materialistic culture that dominates our world, Gandhi’s idea of simple living and strong faith in the power of truth and nonviolence can be the guiding light for a generation which more often seems to getting diverted from the road of values and ethics.

2. Mahatma Gandhi’s five pillars of nonviolence: respect, understanding, acceptance, appreciation and compassion are basic to our existence.

3.These are simple habits and if we all start trying to nurture these, we could make a difference in the world. By inculcating these habits we can not only be happy ourselves but also make others happy. The Mahatma’s faith in the power of nonviolence can be reflected by this quote of his, “Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.”

4.For the contemporary society, following the ideals of truthfulness is another important challenge. Here again the Mahatma’s prescriptions on the power of truthfulness gives us the direction of what path to follow.

5.One of the greatest lessons we learn from Mahatma Gandhi was his deep faith in the goodness of every individual and his unflinching belief that humanity is proceeding towards well-being. His strong belief on humanity is reflected as, “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”

6.As the world is grappling the challenges of nature and climate change, it is time to revisit Gandhi’s cosmocentric approach to human beings. He had rightly said, “The earth, the air, the land and the water are not an inheritance from our fore fathers but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over to us.” Deep understanding of the Mahatma’s cosmocentric approach to human beings are needed more than ever before to ensure contemporary society is able to find sustainable solutions to the ever increasing problem of biodiversity conservation and greed.
