Vegetarianism has become the most popular diet among the young generations facing the new millennium. This discipline eliminates the intake of meat and in some cases also the consumption of dairy products and eggs. Are there enough reasons to make you change your eating habits? My purpose is to prove that vegetarianism is the diet that offers more benefits to our health, spirit, and society.

Nowadays, health is the number one individual and governmental concern. Health is a fragile factor and its behavior relies mostly on the nutritional quality of the food we ingest. A balanced non-vegetarian diet allows the consumption of all four main food groups including meat and other animal by-products that are important protein and fat sources. Most of us consume more proteins and fats than we need. An excess of proteins can cause kidney failure and/or osteoporosis, and a high-fat diet can eventually lead to heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes. On the other hand, vegetarians get protein from grains, beans, vegetables, and low-fat food. This is how they reduce the risk of most diseases caused by fats. It is a myth to believe that vegetarians don't get enough proteins or that their diet is not balanced because they don't eat meat. The key is

variety and accurate combinations of energy and protein sources. If I were asked to describe a vegetarian, I would immediately mention they are very disciplined people. It has been proven that there exists a remarkable correlation between the people who succeed and people who follow a disciplined lifestyle. People who are faithful to the disciplines they have acquired show integrity, a remarkable behavior and they are usually in a good mood. Vegetarians, always concerned about quality and discipline, develop a greater social responsibility that motivates them to improve their environment.
Moreover, environmental issues have been capturing public attention because of their relevancy and increasing deterioration of our quality of life. If you are concerned about the environment, consider that massive meat production can have a negative impact on tropical rain forests, soil stability, and air and water quality. Large extensions of forests have been cut and changed into grasslands that provide cattle with food. To conserve grasslands, fertilizers and other chemical substances are used; consequently, soil and water resources are polluted. Even though there are methods that avoid this kind of deterioration, producers prefer to ignore them so they can keep satisfying the increasing meat demand without affecting their production rates.

Vegetarians' life spans are increased and through this discipline they learn to live quality life in all the possible aspects. Besides, their beliefs are congruent with their lifestyle and they take responsibility and action for problems within their own bodies and in their surroundings. Take a look at yourself. Is your health at risk? Have you been able to reach your goals? Are you a factor of change and improvement within your society? You must at least try becoming a vegetarian now that you know it is a tempting challenge and an exciting experiment that has advantages and no risks. Do it for your body, for your lifestyle, or for your environment, but do it. Stop letting others have all the credit, the fun, and the quality.

Franklin Roosevelt's "State of the Union Address, 1941," excerpt

(…) For there is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic systems are simple. They are:
Equality of opportunity for youth and for others.
Jobs for those who can work.
Security for those who need it.
The ending of special privilege for the few
The preservation of civil liberties for all.
The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living.

These are the simple, basic things that must never be lost sight of in the turmoil and unbelievable complexity of our modern world. The inner and abiding strength of our economic and political systems is dependent upon the degree to which they fulfill these expectations.
Many subjects connected with our social economy call for immediate improvement. As examples:
We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance.
We should widen the opportunities for adequate medical care.
We should plan a better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may
obtain it.

I have called for personal sacrifice. I am assured of the willingness of almost all Americans to respond to that call.

A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my Budget Message I shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation.

If the Congress maintains these principles, the voters, putting patriotism ahead of pocketbooks, will give you their applause.

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings
which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of
armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to
commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception—the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.

Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual peaceful revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quick—lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.

This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.

To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

Answer:

C. Because people still wonder about the afterlife even today

Explanation:

Because Dante's written language is still easily understandable today does Dante's story still have a powerful effect on its readers hundreds of years after its creation. Hence, option D is correct.

What was the impact of Dante's works?

It gave rise to the first works of art, architecture, and education. This period, which is known today as the middle class, was ushered in by Dante. Italian, Spanish, French, and even English were able to develop and flourish as a result of Dante's demonstration to the world that great writers were not required to write in Latin.

One of the most significant pieces of medieval literature is The Divine Comedy. The poem investigates themes of the afterlife in medieval Christian belief through a fictitious voyage through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise.

The Divine Comedy inspired innumerable artists for nearly seven centuries and became the representation of life after death in Western culture. Numerous allusions to Dante's works can be found throughout.

Thus, option D is correct.

Explanation:

Money is something we all take for granted in our lives. Some of us may wish we had more of it but we all recognize it when we see it, whether in the form of coins, notes or cheques. It is difficult to imagine how people managed without money. In the earliest periods of human history, people used to exchange goods directly. They would exchange things they had plenty of for things that they were in need of. For example, they might offer food for tools. This method of exchange, which is known as “barter”, has many disadvantages. Certain goods may be difficult to carry, they may not last long, or may be impossible to divide into smaller units. It can also be difficult to know the worth of something compared with other goods.

According to historians, the first money, in the sense we understand it today, consisted of gold coins produced about 2,500 years ago. Gold, being a very precious metal, was a suitable material. The introduction of gold coins was acceptable to everyone and they were still being used at the beginning of this century, although they have now been replaced by paper money and coins made of ordinary metals.

A. what they needed for what they had B. food for tools

A. advantageous B. precious C. impossible D. disadvantages

4. According to historians, the first money was ………

When Saint Augustine writes in Confessions: “The evil in me was foul, but I loved it” (p. 47), and also “I loved evil even though it served no purpose” (p. 51), what does he mean by this contradictory admission? How does he come to understand his own "greedy love of doing wrong"?

Answers

Explanation:

He knows that evil in him is wrong. He also knows that it is quite likely natural.  Use sex as an example. There are 613 laws in the Old Testament. I don't know how many deal with sex, but I would guess quite a few.

Augustine would know them all. Many are based on natural urges. He thinks his visions are foul, but that does not stop him from thinking about them. And if we take him at his word, he loved them.

The serving no purpose (continuing on with the example above), serves no purpose, because, though it is in his mind, he will likely not bring it into physical fulfillment.

In "Excerpt from Gadgets: Built To Not Last," what does the phrase "throwaway culture” in
paragraph 3 suggest about our society? Use two details from the excerpt to support your response.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Industry has made devices that are far more expensive to repair (to fix what's wrong) than to replace.  A throwaway culture is one that falls into that category. We don't repair things. We throw them away.

I have a printer sitting in my room. It prints in color. It is the only printer I own that does. And yet I never use it. It is unplugged and sits on the top shelf of a storage cabinate. The author makes exactly the same point I'm describing. And yet I don't want to throw the printer away. I know I will never use it again and I should throw it away, but my frugal sense tells me not to, so I don't.

Phones are the same way. I was surprised to learn that phones are sealed so the battery cannot be replaced. You cannot repair such a phone. You can only clutter the landfill with it.

That's alarming. The author has a solution. Don't buy such devices. If you don't buy it, they won't make it.

Gadgets: Built To Not Last is written by Mike Elgan. The phrase "throwaway culture" means that the gadgets are thrown away when not in need or are not repaired.  

What is the throwaway culture about?

The content is about electronic gadgets, devices and systems. The repairing of these devices are more expensive and people now have adapted to the throwaway culture where they do not repair the gadgets.

The depiction of the ideal and useless printer by the author, sealed phones that cannot separate the batteries are the instances that the author uses to depict the throwaway culture.

Therefore, throwaway culture does not believe in repairing things.
