Whereas Ralph and Jack stand at opposite ends of the spectrum between civilization and savagery, Simon stands on an entirely different plane from all the other boys. Simon embodies a kind of innate, spiritual human goodness that is deeply connected with nature and, in its own way, as primal as Jack’s evil. The other boys abandon moral behavior as soon as civilization is no longer there to impose it upon them. They are not innately moral; rather, the adult world—the threat of punishment for misdeeds—has conditioned them to act morally. To an extent, even the seemingly civilized Ralph and Piggy are products of social conditioning, as we see when they participate in the hunt-dance.

In Golding’s view, the human impulse toward civilization is not as deeply rooted as the human impulse toward savagery. Unlike all the other boys on the island,  Simon acts morally not out of guilt or shame but because he believes in the inherent value of morality. He behaves kindly toward the younger children, and he is the first to realize the problem posed by the beast and the Lord of the Flies—that is, that the monster on the island is not a real, physical beast but rather a savagery that lurks within each human being. The sow’s head on the stake symbolizes this idea, as we see in Simon’s vision of the head speaking to him. Ultimately, this idea of the inherent evil within each human being stands as the moral conclusion and central problem of the novel. Against this idea of evil, Simon represents a contrary idea of essential human goodness. However, his brutal murder at the hands of the other boys indicates the scarcity of that good amid an overwhelming abundance of evil.

The conversation between the Mathematical Master and the charity children in Oscar Wild's short story " "The Happy Prince" * ..S
Maru [420]

Answer:

The conversation between the children and the mathematical master means that children's dreams cannot be hindered by adults, even if they are frowned upon.

Explanation:

In this conversation, the children claim that they saw the happy prince who never thinks about crying for any reason. The mathematical master is intrigued and asks how the children saw this prince and they answer that they saw him in their dreams. The mathematical master disapproves of this, because he does not admit that children dream, but it is inevitable, because their dreams are unstoppable even if they are disapproved.

What is the relationship between technology, jobs that are needed in today's society, and changes in higher education?      *Hig
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Today's jobs are all going in the direction of technology. We are very technologically advanced now and many and it is demanded that Many jobs today also require that you have some sort of degree earned in higher education. The reason being is because we are not only taught skills and useful information for our professions, but also ways of critically thinking.

Explanation:

STEM has become the primary focus in today's education systems of United States. While in the past degrees wouldn't necessarily be needed for most of our professions, it is almost a requirement now. In fact, previously, there were many highschool teachers that were (and still are) professors with just an undergrade degree. Now, a graudate degree is required in order to be a professor. There is so much more to learn now and so much more to keep up with. Either you develop your skills and maintain them in order to keep up with all the changes and demands of your job or you earn a degree which automatically shows that you have certain skills in a particular area. The former is harder to prove that you are adequately skilled and trained in something than the later. This is why there has been such a change in the demand for higher education. A high school degree just doesn't adequately prepare you enough for the better paying jobs. Think about all that a STEM degree requires: lot of maths, sciences, and you to be able to think in a different way and be able to be great at problem solving. This cannot possibly be all fit into a highschool education!

I hope this helps!

QUICK IM DOING A TEST AND NEED HELP PLEASE
velikii [3]

Answer:

The lowest level of thinking skills is remembering, and the highest is creating. To envision that, let’s compare reciting the Pledge of Allegiance (remember level) to composing meaningful lyrics to add to it (create level). You would invest quite a bit of effort when learning and remembering the pledge. But you would eventually commit it to memory so that reciting it would be easy. Composing lyrics, on the other hand, would always require the same high level of thought because you’re creating something new each time you compose.  If you are asked to organize a number of CDs by the artist’ name, you would naturally employ thinking at the level of understanding. Thinking at the level of understanding for this task allows you to first recognize you must use the alphabet to place the CDs in order. Second, you will use your ability to compare artist names to determine where they will be placed in relation to all other CDs. Critical thinking is the process of questioning assumptions and exploring possibilities. Critical thinking is necessary when you judge, evaluate, or compare a topic as long as you do so in a reasonable and reflective way.

This answer only includes 1:remember 2:understand 5:evaluate and 6:create
