How do Thomas Jefferson's notions of “argument and debate” as “natural weapons” against religious tyranny also inform his ideas about democracy?

My assignment is:
In one paragraph of at least 150 words, discuss how Jefferson’s notions of “argument and debate” as “natural weapons” against religious tyranny might also inform his ideas about democracy.

I just need to know how the two relate, PLEASE HELP... I feel like a lost puppy.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Thomas Jefferson being an eloquent speaker and knows well how to use words and language to his advantage to persuade his audience. By viewing 'argument and debate' as 'natural weapons' he is asserting that these two elements are valuable, especially when he/she is arguing for something.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson, in 1777, outlined about having freedom of values and principles, and separation of the church and the state entities in the document entitled 'Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.'

In this statute, he stated that 'argument and debate' are two 'natural weapons'. He noted these two elements as natural weapons as they are valuable, especially when one is arguing for something or presenting his/her case.

Being an eloquent speaker, he knows very well how to use words and language to his advantage. He knows how to use past experience of people to persuade them into something. Therefore, using the past experience of tyranny by the monarchy, he was able to present the case and inform his ideas about democracy. In his statute, he presented the idea of separating the church and the state from each other also clarifies that Jefferson envisions of a government different from that of Britain- of a democratic government.

A : According to the statement, the Qur’an teaches that each individual’s life has equal value

Explanation:

According to the text of the Qur'an shown in the question above, we can consider that Islam considers that the life of each and every human being has the same value, regardless of the differences, the personalities and the actions that each one does.

For having the same value, it means that by killing someone (even if he is a criminal, a hateful and evil person) you will be killing all people, including the innocent, the kind and the progressive. The same goes for those who can save a soul.

What do you think the biggest obstacle was in Native American and US Government relations?

Answers

As a Native American myself i would say,

The new US Government was careful not to antagonize the Indians and sought to treat them with mutual respect.  This is evidenced in early treaties where the term “Red Brothers” was used to convey this sentiment of equality.   By 1800 interaction between the Indian and white settlers had become quite common through trade.  Many Indians traded for household goods, traps and tools.  The US became concerned about the cultural differences and sought to improve the Indian station in life by providing education.  The United States no longer feared the Indian but rather took a paternal position toward the Indians and the treaty language reflected this when the Indian was referred to as “Our Red Children.”

Language changes with time and context. What is your opinion about what constitutes good or bad usage? Is it necessary for speakers or writers to follow a standard of correctness? Do such standards vary with the audience and the situation?(will mark brainliest for whoever answers)

Answers

Answer:

Language is like a chameleon: it changes its colors according to the place where it is. What can be considered as good use is using language with certain standards in mind. Such standards do not necessarily have to do with grammatical correction; it is actually a matter of social context. Depending on where one is and whom one talks to, language will certainly have to be used differently, that is, in a particular, sometimes even peculiar way, if one's goal is to get himself or herself across.

  A certain level of grammatical correction is necessary, sometimes more, sometimes less, but it has to be there. After all, certain elementary rules must be followed so communication can be achieved. There are language conventions that cannot be taken for granted if one wants to be understood.

  A certain quality of language and usage must be maintained. That does not mean one has to talk like a scholar who is giving a lecture all the time. One should simply bear in mind the various situations of communication, the many different contexts in which individuals from all walks of life interact and talk. The rules of context correctness can be applied by always using common sense. Language effectiveness requires sensibility and empathy. Depending on the context, this or that approach must be used.

Explanation:

Read this example.
Jermaine was assigned to write a literary analysis of a book he read about dogs that are trained to help police catch criminals. Jermaine enjoyed the book, because it was fast-paced and exciting. He believed he learned a lot about dogs because there was information about how sensitive the dogs’ sense of smell is and how the dogs are trained to track down wanted criminals. Jermaine’s thesis statement for his literary analysis is "Police dogs are heroes because they use their superior sense of smell to help get dangerous criminals off the streets.”

Which choice best describes Jermaine’s thesis statement?
A. Jermaine’s thesis is acceptable because it expresses a viewpoint and has text evidence.
B.Jermaine’s thesis is acceptable because it contains details about the topic. C.Jermaine’s thesis needs revision because it expresses a position that cannot be proven with text evidence.
D. Jermaine’s thesis needs revision because it contains quotations about the topic.

Describe the living conditions in orphanages.

Answers

Answer:

Children living in orphanages tend to lead fairly structured lives. Due to the nature of an orphanage – many children, and fewer caregivers – life happens on a schedule. Children get up, get cleaned, eat, learn, and recreate in a regimented way.

Despite being surrounded by people at all hours of the day, orphanage life can be lonely. Children who have spent time in an orphanage often learn to depend on no one but themselves.

Orphanage life can change a child, making it so that their transition into a traditional family unit will entail a few bumps in the road. Understanding the life they once came from and the impact it may have had on them is the first step in helping them overcome those difficulties.
