John Bodnar writes about generational memory as essential to understanding our history and present. What does he discover about

the residents of Whiting that illustrate this point?
History
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]2 years ago
4 0

Writing on "<em>Generational Memory in an American Town</em>," John Bodnar discovers that the residents of Whiting in Indiana, after their experiences of the World War I, the great depression that followed, and how institutions cared for the people, recognized their obligation to be patriotic, fair, and benevolent by placing a high premium on collectivism.

  • This point illustrates that the way a community acts in the present is reflective of their past experiences.

  • Studies have confirmed that past experiences generate generational memory that affect subsequent generations.

  • The studies confirm that past experiences may be passed on through the DNA.

Thus, a study of a community's generational memory is essential to enable better understanding of the history and present of a people or a community.

In the prince, machiavelli suggests that a ruler should take care that the fear he inspires in his subjects does not turn to hat
coldgirl [10]

Machiavelli ensure that is more beneficial to be feared than loved. As this will not turn the fear into hate and the ruler can also control the state peacefully.

Every prince will want to be considered merciful, but mercy should not be mismanaged. No prince should mind being called cruel for keeping his subjects peaceful and loyal. Punishing a few, and thus averting disorder, is better than allowing troubles to develop that will hurt many. New rulers cannot avoid seeming cruel, because their states are insecure.

You cannot be both loved and feared, then it is better to be feared than loved. Men are generally fickle, afraid of danger, and greedy. A prince must be careful not to make him hated, even though he is feared; to do this, he must keep his hands off his subjects' property and their women. People will sooner forget the death of a father than the loss of an inheritance. However, when a prince commands an army, he must be cruel in order to control his troops. In conclusion, people love at their own wish, but fear at the prince's will, so a wise ruler will rely on what he can best control.

Continuing his discussion of virtues that are not virtues, Machiavelli considers mercy and cruelty. As with generosity and miserliness, he comes down on the side of the supposedly bad quality. He bases his judgment on consideration of what benefits the most people. It is no use to be merciful if by doing so, a prince allows disorder in his state to get out of control. A controlled amount of cruelty, which harms a few, can avert widespread violence and lawlessness, which harms many.
