Which two strategies helped the amphibious invasion force be successful?

kramer

The two strategies are Arrange the beaches for the Allied soldiers and ways to stop the withdrawal in Germany

Explanation:

The impact of D-Day echoes in history:

It's the biggest military attack ever. The German forces encountered cold weather as they assaulted the coast of Normandy with raging German fire. The Allies won the war, despite the difficult odds and high losses, and turned the tide of World War II towards victory over Hitler.
On D-Day, the strategy was to clear the beaches for entries of the allies by heavily attacking Nazi weapons on the coast and damaging the major bridges and roads to shut down the withdrawal and strengthening’s of Germany. In order to protect the coastal areas before the military invasion the parachutists would then fall down.

Nevertheless, almost none went according to plan.

What connection does that Bible story and Dylan's song have with ethics and the so-called "Divine Command Theory" as espoused by

Darina [25.2K]

The connection is that Dylan's song ("Highway 61 Revisited") and "that Bible story" (Abraham sacrificing Isaac) both point to the ethical idea that doing the right thing means doing whatever it is that is divinely commanded.

Explanation/context:

The origins of "Divine Command Theory" stem back to a dialogue written by Plato, which has the philosopher Socrates engaged in discussion with Euthyphro about the meaning of piety or goodness. Socrates was being accused of impiety in Athenian court. Impiety to the Athenians meant conduct that was displeasing to the gods. At that same time, Euthyphro was at court in Athens to prosecute his own father for having killed a servant. Socrates asked the kinds of questions he normally did, pressing Euthyphro how he knew that prosecuting his own father was a good thing. Euthyphro said punishing wrongdoers for wrongdoing was the pious thing to do, no matter who the wrongdoers are. Socrates then asked Euthyphro to how we know what "piety" is -- and Euthyphro said it was doing that which is dear to the gods. That's the "divine command" theory in a nutshell. Bear in mind, as the dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro continued, there was much more nuanced thought about how well that definition works. Socrates asked, for instance, "whether the pious or holy is beloved by the gods because it is holy, or holy because it is beloved of the gods." That became a difficult conundrum for their consideration in the dialogue.

The Abraham story in the Bible follows the "divine command theory" idea. When God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac, the fact that God commanded it would make it right, according to divine command theory -- even though the act itself seemed horribly wrong.

Bob Dylan played with that idea in the lyrics to his song, "Highway 61 Revisited," from the album Highway 61 Revisited (1965) ...

Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"

Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"

God said, "No" Abe say, "What?"

God say, "You can do what you want, Abe, but

The next time you see me comin', you better run"

Well, Abe said, "Where d'you want this killin' done?"

God said, "Out on Highway 61"

Which of the following does not describe a precedent set by Washington?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The presidency of George Washington began on April 30, 1789, when Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States, and ended on March 4, 1797. Washington took office after the 1788–89 presidential election, the nation's first quadrennial presidential election, in which he was elected unanimously. Washington was re-elected unanimously in the 1792 presidential election, and chose to retire after two terms. He was succeeded by his vice president, John Adams of the Federalist Party.

Washington had established his preeminence among the new nation's Founding Fathers through his service as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and as President of the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Once the Constitution was approved, it was widely expected that Washington would become the first President of the United States, despite his own desire to retire from public life. In his first inaugural address, Washington expressed both his reluctance to accept the presidency and his inexperience with the duties of civil administration, but he proved an able leader.

How have computer models expanded biological research?

Misha Larkins [42]

Using computer models for modelling biological we can get information on whether certain mathematical models from one animal will hold true also for another animal. This is very important because it allows for the creation of generalized models that we can use to see whether certain qualities and characteristics are true for more than one species and actually represent a general truth about biological organisms.
