Answer:

The act of marking Hester Prynne with a scarlet letter maintains discipline in the community, as other people become afraid of being similarly shamed.

Explanation:

In <em>Scarlet Letter</em>, Hester Prynne is punished for adultery. Her husband has been lost at sea. Meanwhile, Hester had a relationship with another man and gave birth to a child. For that reason, and because she does not reveal the identity of child's father, she is forced to wear a scarlet letter.

Hester is publicly humiliated, and people want to avoid such a shame. By using Hester's example, the authorities want to warn people what will happen if they not abide by the rules established in their society. The act of marking Hester with scarlet letter is conceived to frighten people.

Softa [21]

Answer:

hope it helped it took too ,much time

Explanation:

Concentration camp, internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military order. Persons are placed in such camps often on the basis of identification with a particular ethnic or political group rather than as individuals and without benefit either of indictment or fair trial. Concentration camps are to be distinguished from prisons interning persons lawfully convicted of civil crimes and from prisoner-of-war camps in which captured military personnel are held under the laws of war. They are also to be distinguished from refugee camps or detention and relocation centres for the temporary accommodation of large numbers of displaced persons.
