During the American Revolution, many women took up arms and helped fight against the British. Deborah Sampson was one such woman

. She bravely disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the army. She had to change her appearance and her name. She enlisted under the name Robert Shurtlieff. She served for 17 months and was almost discovered a few times. One of the closest calls she had was when she was admitted to the hospital for wounds that she received in battle. She had pieces of metal in her head and her leg. After the doctor fixed her head wound, he wanted to begin removing the metal from her leg. Sampson was worried that she would be found out if he operated on her leg, so she decided to remove the metal herself. The doctor disagreed with her, but he could do nothing to stop her.
What additional information would the reader gain if Passage A were written as a firsthand account from Deborah Sampson's point of view?

A. The reader would learn how Sampson really felt about her actions.
B. The reader would learn the name of the doctor.
C. The reader would learn what else was happening during the war.
D. The reader would learn how others felt about Sampson.

What are the weaknesses of Aristotle’s theories of justice?
stepan [7]
He relies on experience and is too focused on senses. Plato says the senses are very unreliable.


Aristotle suggests that the morally weak are usually young persons who lack the habituation to virtue that brings the passions of the soul under the internal control of reason. According to Aristotle, like sleepy, mad or drunken persons who can “repeat geometrical demonstrations and verses of Empedocles,” and like an actor speaking their lines, “beginning students can reel off the words they have heard, but they do not yet know the subject” (NE 1147a19-21). A young person, therefore, can “repeat the formulae (of moral knowledge),” which they don‟t yet feel (NE 1147a23). Rather, in order to retain knowledge when in the grip of strong passions, Aristotle asserts that, “the subject must grow to be part of them, and that takes time” (NE 1147a22). Avoiding moral weakness, therefore, requires that we take moral knowledge into our souls and let it become part of our character. This internalization process the young have not had time to complete.
If moral weakness is characteristic of the young who have not yet taken moral knowledge into their souls, thereby allowing them to temporarily forget or lose their knowledge when overcome by desire in the act of moral weakness, it would seem that Aristotle‟s account of moral weakness does not in fact contradict Socrates‟ teaching that no one voluntarily does what they “know” to be wrong. Virtue does in fact seem to be knowledge, and, as Aristotle asserts, “we seem to be led to the conclusion which Socrates sought to establish. Moral weakness does not occur in the presence of knowledge in the strict sense”

dusya [7]

The question requires a personal answer based on your opinion of the sentence "to be or not to be" and its meaning. In that case, I can't write an answer for you, but I'll show you how to do it.

<h3>Meaning and context of "to be or not to be"</h3>
  • It is a sentence written by Shakespeare.
  • It is the sentence spoken by Hamlet.
  • It represents a reflection between life and death, where Hamlet thinks if living is better than dying.

The sentence has a strong meaning because it shows the anguish and confusion in Hamlet's mind, causing him to consider death as the solution to his problems.

In this case, to answer this question, you must think if the reflection that the sentence promotes is the most important thing in the lives of individuals, that is, you must decide if considering and imagining death as a solution is the most important thing in the life of the individual. world.
