Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.
However they obtained it, the Greeks couldn’t resist adding their own original "explanations" to the definitions. For example, a Greek writer named Horapollo said correctly that the picture of a goose stood for the word "son." But then he explained that this was because geese took special care of their young, which was completely inaccurate. He wrote that the image of a rabbit meant "open" because a rabbit's eyes never close—an equally false statement.
Which phrase shows the author’s feelings about Horapollo’s ideas?

Explanation:
Think of a time when government has influenced the way you live or what you do. Maybe you went to a park for free because the government built the park, or a government rule kept you from doing something. Write a personal letter to a friend that tells about the experience. Tell what happened, where it happened, and who was with you.
Dear Teo,
Just like me, you are suffering government intervention in our right to walk in the city. The epidemic took us by surprise, didn't it? 2020 is being a peculiar year now that we have to be trapped inside the house with our families all the time, because our biggest and deadliest enemy is lurking outside and who would say that such a dangerous enemy would be so small, a virus. It is ironic when I think about it.
However, I understand that this government intervention in our freedom to go where we want is necessary. We must have the responsibility of not helping the corobavirus to proliferate and we must also be careful not to pass it on to our families or to overburden hospitals. Although the lack of freedom bothers me, I understand my responsibility in this event and I hope you understand too.
What makes me sad is that even seeing the seriousness of the situation many people disrespect and pretend that nothing is happening, it will prolong our "prison" at home and could harm many people.
I hope you found ways to have fun and write to me soon, as we have plenty of time now.
Kind regards.

Story Description:
If you were starving, what would you do for food? "Condensed Milk" tells the story of a political prisoner in a Russian gulag (a forced-labor camp) who is faced with a choice: stay in the gulag—working and starving—or escape from the prison and risk dying. What choice would you make?
Historical Context:
From 1929 to 1953, Joseph Stalin was the dictator of the Soviet Union. His goal was to transform the Soviet Union from a poor society into a world superpower. He used terror and violence to rule, and under his reign, millions of his own people died in work camps, from starvation due to famine, or by execution.
What inference can you make about a Russian prisoner described as a "political prisoner"?
The prisoner opposed Joseph Stalin.
The prisoner supported Joseph Stalin.
The prisoner voted for Joseph Stalin.
The prisoner worked for Joseph Stalin.
Answer:
a ) the prisoner opposed Joseph Stalin
Explanation:
The greatest risk for a political prisoner is death, in addition to forced labor and deprivation of food and water. If the greatest risk for a political prisoner who tries to escape is also death, he has nothing to lose, then it would be better to try to escape than to continue being exploited.
Furthermore, we have seen in the historical context that Stalin used terror and violence to establish himself as a political leader. In this case, the people who opposed him were arrested and tortured, becoming political prisoners.
Therefore, we can say that option A is the correct option.
Stalin was indeed a dictator and as such abused power and exploited the population ardently. As a dictator he:
Limited political freedom.Took control of all social, political and economic branches.Oppressed and caused fear in the population.Chased opponents.Turned opponents into political prisoners.Banned free speech and censored the press.With this, we can conclude that "Condensed Milk" by approaching the life of political prisoners, used the moment of social oppression caused by dictatorship as a basis to show the abuses that the authoritarian government presented.

In this unit, you've looked at opposing viewpoints
on issues that drove one of the most controversial
eras in US history-the time before, during, and
after the Civil War. As you know, some of the
same issues still exist in twenty-first century
American culture and politics. For example, race
relations, civil rights, labor rights, and state versus
federal control are still targets of movements for
social change. And each issue meets up with
resistance from opposing forces.
Be the first
Choose a source of conflict that you are aware of
in American culture now and describe it in this
discussion forum. Would you consider it primarily
an interpersonal conflict, a political conflict, or a
social conflict? Does it have roots in the era of the
Civil War, or is it a modern issue? Why do you
think people are so passionate about the issue?
What possibilities do you see for resolving the
conflict, and how long might that take?
Answer:
Racism is a social conflict that has lasted for longer than we even know. This conflict was around before and during the civil war and us still a problem today. People are passionate about this depending on how they were raised and what they grew up around. But from the way I see it the chances of this problem ending are slim to none. Because there will always be someone who thinks differently about others. We can fight for justice, but will we get it?
Explanation:
Answer:
A conflict I am aware of in the American Culture now is Racism. Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another. I believe this is a social conflict. Racism does have roots from the Civil War era but is still a problem to this day. People are very passionate about this problem because in some situations one race has the advantage over the other, which puts a bad rep on both races. I think the way to solve this problem is for everyone to realize that we are all the same. The color of your skin shouldn't effect how you are treated, after all its just a color. There's no way to tell if this problem will ever be resolved or how long it may take if it does.
