In "Marriage Is a Private Affair" and the excerpt from Nectar in a Sieve, traditional cultures and more modern ways clash. Do the characters in these stories gain or lose more from the clash they experience? Use details from the stories to support your response.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In general, we can consider that the characters in this story win through the conflict they experience.

Explanation:

"Marriage Is a Private Affair" tells the story between a father and a son and how the generations in a family change over time. The son was raised in a very traditional environment, where it was a cultural custom for parents to choose the women their children should marry. However, in this story Nnaemeka, the son, decides that he will not marry in this way, but will marry for love with a girl from outside his village named Nene. His father, Okeke, is furious and says that if his son disobeys tradition in this way, they will have to cut off any kind of contact, forever. Even not wanting to leave his father, Nnaemeka marries Nene and gains true love and builds a family with her, which makes him very happy.

Okeke, in fact, no longer comes into contact with his son and loses the birth of his grandchildren and the comfort of a family relationship, but, after years, he goes back on his decision and decides to live with his grandchildren and the family that Nnaemeka built, which also belongs to him. If we look at it this way, we can see that, despite so many disagreements, everyone came out winning.

Explanation: This could be your right answer but most dogs don't really get the hang of fetch they like to play and dogs love their treats but they are just wanting the treats. And other dogs sometimes get the hang of fetch.

How does totalitarianism control and devastate people's lives?

Answers

Answer:

Typically, it limits people's rights and freedoms.

Explanation:

Totalitarianism can be defined as a form of centralized government that has an absolute control over the state. Thus, totalitarianism completely prohibits individual freedom, opposing ideologies, principles, political parties, and requires the people to be subservient to the state.

Simply stated, totalitarianism is an autocratic or dictatorial form of government.

An authoritarian government is also known as dictatorship and it can be defined as a type of government in which an individual who is a sole administrator is responsible for controlling, managing and directing the affairs of the particular country. Therefore, they do not listen to anyone else but rather are saddled with the decision-making responsibilities without consulting any other government official.

Generally, it is characterized by a single leader (dictator) having absolute power and as such he or she makes all the rules, policies and decisions without consulting or taking suggestions from anyone else.

This ultimately implies that, citizens living in a country that practices an authoritarian or totalitarian government are usually lacking in individual freedoms because the supreme leader ignores rules limiting his or her power with respect to the citizens and institutions.

Some examples of authoritarian government around the world are the government of Idi Amin of Uganda, Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union etc.
