Supreme court landmark serles: tinker v. des moines
from uscourts. gov
in 1965, students at des moines schools in lowa were suspended for
staging protests. their actions resulted in a legal battle that eventually
went to the supreme court.
the supreme court used the case of tinker v. des moines to make a
very broad statement and establish a rule for protecting the speech
rights of students during the school day. they began by saying that
students don't lose their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gates.
it's a landmark case because it made very clear that we need to take the
civil liberties of students seriously while they're on school campuses.
teaching young people how to exercise their rights of citizenship and
allowing them to do it is at the heart of our democracy. if you cut off
speech while people are learning both their own personalities and
identities, and also how to behave in the world, you minimize the
likelihood that theyll be active participants in democracies.
the court case continues to impact our lives today because it has been
used to protect students' speech that schools have improperly cut off.
that's why it's so important for average citizens, children, and their
families to know the law, use it and be prepared to stand up for it.
read the passage. then complete the objective summary. the excerpt from uscourts. gov's "supreme court landmark series: tinker v. des moines"

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.

explanation:

pretty sure 1.someone's coat was found in the lobby.  

the gas pressure p, gas volume v, and gas temperature t are given in the formula:   pv=nrt,

r is the gas constant, and n is the number of gas moles.

if the container is cooled and remains under atmospheric pressure, where r is a constant that does not change, the volume of the container remains the same, the conclusion is drawn that, with all other values ​​unchanged, the number of gas moles n, is decreases.

the right answer is a.
