Answer 1

Answer:

Find the answers and explanation below.

Explanation:

1. Present-day Thanksgiving celebrations can serve as a tool for healing when people take time to reflect on the occasion and the perceived wrong that might have been done to them and find ways in their hearts to forgive the offenders. They should use that day to do good to their neighbors by doing acts of kindness towards them.

2. Present-day celebrations can hinder healing when people deliberate too much on perceived wrongs and make issues out of them by engaging in protests.

3. The Day of Mourning can advance or hinder healing because it serves as a reminder of past wrongs. It does not help people move on rather, it fans the flames of hatred and does not allow people to heal from past wrongs meted from them.
