Answer:

Tu quoque fallacy (appeal to hypocrisy)

Explanation:

This fallacy is known as the 'you too' fallacy. This fallacy is used when a person is trying to accuse the person pointing out his fault for the same crime. He hereby shows the hypocrisy in the accuser. Instead of accepting the blame for the mistake committed, he tries to distribute the blame so as to absolve himself of the crime.

This is what the driver does in this instance. Instead of accepting the fact that he committed an offense, he rather tries to blame the police officer for allowing the drivers who committed the same offense to drive past.

I need a essay about people getting prosecuted about cyber bullying, i will also make you brainliest.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

What Is Cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying is the use of technology to hurt , threaten, embarrass, or target another person. Online threats and mean, aggressive, or rude texts, tweets, posts, or messages all count. So does posting personal information, pictures, or videos designed to hurt or embarrass someone else.

Cyberbullying also includes photos, messages, or pages that don't get taken down, even after the person has been asked to do so. In other words, it's anything that gets posted online and is meant to hurt , or upset someone else.

Intimidation or mean comments that focus on things like a person's gender, religion, sexual orientation, race, or physical differences count as discrimination, which is against the law in many states. That means the police could get involved, and bullies may face serious penalties.

Online bullying can be particularly damaging and upsetting because it's usually anonymous or hard to trace. It's also hard to control, and the person being victimized has no idea how many people (or hundreds of people) have seen the messages or posts. People can be tormented nonstop whenever they check their device or computer.

Online bullying and attack  can be easier to commit than other acts of bullying because the bully doesn't have to confront his or her target in person.

Which archetype does Boadicea, the queen of the Britons,<br> best represent?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

rebel

Explanation:

Boadicea, or better known as Boudicca, was the queen of a Celtic tribe in Britain called the Iceni. This queen was not happy with the Roman invasion and how the Romans were treating her people, as well as the other native people of Britain. Wanting to be free and to not obey to anyone's commands, Boadicea and her people rebelled. Even though the rebellion was not a success in the end, the Romans suffered heavily losses from the unexpected attacks. Also, Boadicea was seen as an example of a person that will not stand to be subjugated, but instead wanted to live freely, so she was the prime example of a rebellion. The story of Boadicea was kept through time, and even nowadays, some 2 millenniums after her rebellion, she is still an archetype for a rebel.
