Answer and Explanation:

1. Why do we do this? Filters and other image editing tools are mostly used to make pictures appear more beautiful and shiny to anyone viewing it. Exampls are images uploaded on social media that are edited and look different from the original which may have been considered less beautiful. Other uses could be to make the picture clearer for investigative or other documentation purposes

2. People who can't upload pictures of themselves to social media without editing them begin to develop low self esteem and depression as they are not proud of what they look like. Also image editing, use of photoshop image editing app for instance, is often deceptive and can be used to defraud people.

3. Don't allow social media replace your reality. Try to reduce use of social media and even if you have to use it excessively, make sure it reflects your offline life, your true reality. Avoid editing pictures you upload unless you just wish to make it clearer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
