Answer:

1. The intended message was intended to alert the dangers of the obsession. This is because when we become obsessed with something we tend to ignore everything around us and act in an unreasonable and very dangerous way, which can cause us a lot of harm.

2. The moral of the story applies in today's society because we are increasingly obsessed with aesthetics, celebrities, erroneous politics, extremism, among other things.

3. The light symbolizes the danger disguised as something beautiful and attractive, but which is fatal.

Explanation:

The story told by Rizal is about a moth that becomes obsessed and attracted by the lit light of a lamp. The moth's obsession is so strong that he gets closer and closer to the lamp, ignoring all the advice for her to stay away. This ends up burning her wings and causing death. The moral of the story is that we must not let our obsession control our rationality and we must always reason whether what attracts us is really good for us.

Explain how and why European and
sladkih [1.3K]

European people and Native American people began interacting when the European powers took an interest in exploring and colonizing the region. As European settlements in North America increased, so did contact between these two groups. However, the relationship that was established between them changed greatly throughout the years.

Initially, the first European settlers depended on the Native Americans heavily. Native American people had better knowledge of the land, the weather, the local crops and the many other challenges that existed in the region. European settlers greatly benefitted from this knowledge. Therefore, the initial relationship between these people was one of cooperation.

As time passed, the interactions between the two groups grew. As the European settlements developed, both groups engaged in complex exchanges and commercial transactions. This led to more cooperation, but also increased conflict between them.

As conflict increased, the Native Americans began to suffer more. Lands were taken away from them, and many were displaced. Moreover, they were killed in great numbers through war and disease. This made the interaction between the two groups more negative.

Why has it been so difficult to achieve peace and stability in the Balkans?
LuckyWell [14K]
This region was also politically unstable as there were different ethnicities and there was also rising nationalism in the region. Nationalism brought about tensions. There was also rising Serbian nationalist groups. Combined with the brinkmanship of the European Powers the area became a fuse to the powder keg that Europe had become. The Balkans has strong Cultural, Religious, and language ties to the surrounding Empires but they were in small pockets making nation building difficult.
