"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Elie Weisel

1. What does this quote means?
2. How can being silent hurt those facing oppressions?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The quote emphasizes the importance of speaking out against unjust and cruel mistreatment.

2. Silence gives the oppressor little to no friction against their actions, encouraging them to continue. Fighting back and making the torment on innocent lives more difficult to achieve has a much higher chance of the attempt failing or eventually ending rather than simply allowing the oppression continue; where there is ease in the abuse of power, it's guaranteed to progress.

Answer 2
1. The quote means that when a country chooses neutrality they act as a bystander towards the matter. This weakens the victim and only encourages the oppressor to continue their injustices.
2. Being silent hurts those facing oppressions because it offers no help to them and no change towards their mistreatment. This kind of silence continues the oppression those face

The Aztecs: Agriculture or Human Sacrifice
Historians should accentuate both agriculture and human sacrifice when offering explanation towards Aztec society. Both sacrifice and agriculture are distinct aspects that remain significant subject matters that need emphasis. The conceptual theories of these Aztec notions have created impacts on history and the success of Aztec civilization. There is dissension on whether historians should prioritize agriculture over human sacrifice when discussing Aztec society. However, I believe each element highly contributes to the innovative decision of the Aztecs, and both have great prominence in the development of their civilization.

Agricultural achievements have had a large influence on the prosperity of the Aztecs, and have greatly improved the lives of their people. During the pre-conquest, or the time period before the Spanish conquistadors arrived, the Aztecs created many advancements and found inventive ways to survive and build a successful empire. For example, in Document B, it explained, “…the Aztecs developed an ingenious system for irrigating agriculture called chinanpas (lofts used for farming). Another example is, “Approximately twenty thousand acres of chinanpas were constructed [around Tenochtitlan] and the yield was high: four corn crops per year were possible.” These excerpts from the document show the advancement and creativity the Aztecs used to develop farming techniques and structures with available materials. Food is a very vital and necessary resource in the expansion and improvement of a civilization, and the surplus they created was enough to support their large population effectively. Through these accurately engineered farming developments, the Aztecs have created a serious advancement that helped their empire’s prosperity and provided resources greatly needed by their society.

The trans fats in many fried foods can hinder your brain's ability to discern how much you've eaten and how hungry you are. So you buy—and eat—more. Fast food can even trigger the pleasure centers of the brain to release dopamine, the same chemical that fuels addictions.

KOREAN WAR VETERANS MEMORIAL

In remembrance of those who fought in the Korean War, the United States Congress confirmed that a memorial be built upon the National Mall on April 20, 1986. The most prominent and impactful section, known as the ‘Field of Service,’ depicts a platoon of patrolling soldiers in long ponchos marching among the memorial’s granite grounds and juniper bushes. The spread-out formation and the 19 stainless steel effigies, meant to represent all the branches of the U.S. Military, strike one as startlingly life-like upon first encounter. The number 19 has a special significance. A polished granite wall that runs along the field reflects the images of the soldiers, thus arriving at the number 38, a reference to the 38th parallel, the demilitarized zone established between North and South Korea. The Mural Wall, as it is known, contains more than 2,500 photographic, archival images representing the land, sea, and air troops who supported those who fought in the war. The Pool of Remembrance, a shallow reflecting pool surrounded by a grove of trees, is an especially moving, meditative space with inscriptions that list the total number of those who lost their lives, went missing in action, or were held as prisoners of war.

• ends with a summary related to the purpose for writing

Answers

The site of Abu Simbel is one of the most recognizable ancient sites in Egypt. For 3,000 years, it sat on the west bank of the Nile River, between the first and second cataracts of the Nile. However, in a remarkable feat of engineering, the temple complex was dismantled and rebuilt on a higher hill to make way for the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s.

In addition, Abu Simbel has a second, smaller, temple that may have been built for queen Nefertari. Its front includes two statues of the queen and four of the pharaoh, each about 33 feet (10 meters) in height. Each is set between buttresses carved with hieroglyphs.
