Answer: It is used to emphasize that fact that this is an opinion, not a fact.

Explanation: Immigration has been a very controversial topic for several years; naturally, everyone has their own opinion regarding the matter. By placing the word "taking" in quotations, the author is conveying the point of view of a specific group, that is, those opposed to immigration, without indicating his/her own stance.

Talk about the experiences you, your family, and friends have had with alternative medicine
Zina [86]

Answer:

Find the experiences below.

Explanation:

To begin with, alternative medicine is a form of treatment believed by its users to be effective but has no scientific credibility. My friends and family have resorted to the use of alternative medicine. Below are two experiences.

1. My Mother: Six years ago, my mother suffered a fracture on her leg. She believed that traditional bone fixers could help her. There, she was given herbal medicine in the form of roots and leaves soaked in some liquid to release the healing potentials and thus strengthen her bones. They also regularly massaged her legs in a bid to fix the bones but this resulted in more pains and inflammation for her. It took the intervention of medical doctors who specialized in bones to perform surgery on her and fix the broken bones.

2. My Friend: My friend who suffered from convulsions was believed by traditional healers to be under the influence of demons or spiritual powers.  A traditional healer tried to heal her by touching her on the forehead to release some energy into her. This practice known as Reiki did not sustainably relieve my friend from her illness.

3. Me: When I suffered severe pains as a teenager, healers tried to heal me through acupuncture. They will insert clean needles into parts of my body to stimulate healing. I believed that this practice was effective.

What does this mean?
VladimirAG [237]
It would be catastrophic (it would be a distaste) if humanities greatest voyage (if humanities greatest quality/the human mind) was brought low (was held down) by the minds tendency to wander when left to its own devices. (by the minds tendency to wander when left by itself).
When the human mind is left alone, it may be great but also be horrible due to it often wandering.
I hope this slightly helps, I’m not too sure if this is correctb
