In modern America, we do not punish immoral behavior. We have a judicial system that addresses illegal behavior, but illegal and immoral are not necessary the same thing. For example, committing adultery is an immoral act but not an illegal one.
Only behavior that breaks the law can be punished; these punishments, furthermore, must not be "cruel and unusual." Dante's punishments, on the other hand, would definitely be considered cruel and unusual by modern American standards.
Today, we punish immoral (but not illegal) behavior by public shaming. That is, a woman who has been cheated on will often take to social media to publicly shame her husband. By bad behavior "going viral," people are punished for bad behavior outside a formal punishment. It should be noted, however, that public shaming might be considered cruel and unusual, so Dante might just have approved!
They are called unabridged!! hope that i helped :D
Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:
ineffective, because the author relies only on personal opinions rather than facts to point out problems with solar power
. ineffective, because the author supports the opposing viewpoint by introducing the idea that solar power is popular
. effective, because the author reveals the significant costs of readying California’s public buildings to run on solar power effective, because the author shows that less than half of California’s energy supply comes from solar power.
Answer:
effective, because the author reveals the significant costs of readying California’s public buildings to run on solar power
Explanation:
The author of the text presents evidence on how the use of solar energy is expensive, which often makes it difficult to use this type of energy in buildings, especially public predictions. This could be a problem in California, where the demand for solar energy is high and there are many advocates who advocate the use of this energy without taking into account the expenses to maintain an uninterrupted supply of it.
