Explain how the events, the characters, and the setting described in the excerpt contribute to an atmosphere of fear and paranoi

a. Then tell how this atmosphere relates to the period of McCarthyism in the 1950s, when Miller wrote the play. (During this time, Senator Joseph McCarthy, believing that Communists were hiding even in the U.S. government, held hearings in which people were accused without evidence of being Communists and if thought guilty, fired from their jobs or blacklisted. Through fear and intimidation, some people even felt forced to falsely accuse others of being Communists.)

Answer:

Explanation:

You had to live through it to understand McCarthyism.

It was like a black cloud that hung over America. People were afraid of everything McCarthy did. It didn't matter at all about Guilt or Innocence. There was no court room like rules governing how evidence was gathered or presented. There was no such thing as Maranda. There was only McCarthy and his henchmen. Even respected government officials (elected) were afraid of him.  No one was exempt. Everyone and anyone could be accused. There was no proper defense.

Which of the following describes a deconstructionist approach to a text?
BartSMP [9]
The option that describes a deconstructionist approach to a text is - complicate the meaning of the text.
Deconstructionists like to dig very deep into the text, and find meanings that aren't obvious at the first, second, or even the third glance. They like to analyze texts to such an extent that they bare everything within their interpretation, and get to the very core of the text, thus complicating something that would otherwise have been a simple analysis.

This culture sounds like an early 1900's, mid 1800's culture. Back then, people respected the elders in their communities, oftentimes going over for a chat or a cup of tea. The saying "respect thy elders" comes from that era.

If you are talking about a certain culture, like an African, American, European, etc., it would probably be an Asian culture. Asian children are taught at an early age to respect and mind all elders, including their older siblings.

If you are talking about religion...every religion tells the kids to respect their elders!
