It basically says that if someone does something heinous, they deserve to have the same thing done to them. For example, if someone breaks your MacBook, it's only right that you take his MacBook and break it.

Gandhi, on the other hand, was not on board. His remark "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" means that if we continue to punish people we consider cruel, we are no better than the bad ones ourselves. It's the whole "you can't solve violence with violence" spiel.

The main reason "an eye for an eye" cannot be applied to all situations is because it would yield ludicrous results in some cases. A vehicle thief might not possess a car to steal, while an arsonist might not own anything to burn down. Would cops abduct a convicted kidnapper or spy on a Peeping Tom?

And applying "an eye for an eye" to more horrific offenses such as rupe, assault, and attempted murder raises the question of who would carry out such retributions.

However, when considering the death penalty today, the quote may be pertinent.

I hope this helps you

Answer:

I agree. It means that when violent trades are blown on both sides, both will be crippled. If humans can choose to resolve a conflict peacefully, no or few eyes will be lost. It relates to us because in Ukraine, about 2 million people have evacuated and many have lost their lives. If this was resolved peacefully, then many people wouldn't have to evacuate and few would have died.

Which excerpt from the essay most clearly portrays imperialism with negative connotations?
just olya [345]

Although all four excerpts are disgusting, we should single out one of them.



"Shooting an Elephant" George Orwell is a story of imperialism  and the ratio of the local population inhabited by Imperial Britain. Imperialism is the most powerful force in world history. It exists today, moved from the colonial era to neo-colonial or neo-imperialism. During this transition, modes and strategies were changed, but the goal remained the same - to rule and exploit the natives, using their strength, military, economic and technological.


Killing an elephant shows various aspects of imperialism, imperialism is a double sword that inflicts damage on both sides, the local population and the British officer representing the imperial empire. When he killed the animal, he had to calm the Burmese. The fact that the Burmese decides what the imperial officer must do about it, provides an ironic image of a master who becomes a slave to fulfill his racial and imperial duties. Here, Orwell asks an important question: if an officer, a good man, can be corrupted and destroyed by imperialism, what happens to those who are not so honest?


The officer is aware of the malevolence of imperialism, but he is also aware of the ways in which beasts turn locals under the influence of imperialism. Local Buddhist priests laugh at him because in essence it was not necessary to kill an elephant, which was the consequence of his clumsy decision. However, there is no greater embarrassment than laughter in the face, sent to the white officer of the British Empire.



An excerpt from "Shooting an Elephant" that best demonstrates the dual destructive influence of imperialism, both on the local and the imperialist ones, is C).
