It is widely accepted that educational opportunities for children ought to be equal. This thesis follows from two observations about education and children: first, that education significantly influences a person’s life chances in terms of labor market success, preparation for democratic citizenship, and general human flourishing; and second, that children’s life chances should not be fixed by certain morally arbitrary circumstances of their birth such as their social class, race, and gender. But the precise meaning of, and implications for, the ideal of equality of educational opportunity is the subject of substantial disagreement (see Jencks 1988). This entry provides a critical review of the nature and basis of those disagreements.
To frame the discussion we introduce three key factors that underscore the importance of treating equality of educational opportunity as an independent concern, apart from theories of equality of opportunity more generally. These factors are: the central place of education in modern societies and the myriad opportunities it affords; the scarcity of high-quality educational opportunities for many children; and the critical role of the state in providing educational opportunities. These factors differentiate education from many other social goods. We follow this with a brief history of how equality of educational opportunity has been interpreted in the United States since the 1950s and the evolving legal understandings of equality of opportunity. Our subsequent analysis has implications for issues that are at the center of current litigation in the United States. But our philosophical discussion is intended to have wider reach, attempting to clarify the most attractive competing conceptions of the concept.
Education has both instrumental and intrinsic value for individuals and for societies as a whole. As the US Supreme Court stated in its unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), “In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education”. The instrumental goals of K–12 education for individuals include access to higher education and a constellation of private benefits that follow college education such as access to interesting jobs with more vacation time and better health care; greater personal and professional mobility, better decision-making skills (Institute for Higher Education Policy 1998) and more autonomy at work. Research further shows that education levels are correlated with health and wealth: the more education a person has, the healthier and wealthier she is likely to be. At the same time, education is also considered intrinsically valuable. Developing one’s skills and talents can be enjoyable or good in itself and a central component of a flourishing life, regardless of the consequences this has for wealth or health.
In addition to the instrumental and intrinsic value of education to an individual, education is also valuable for society. All societies benefit from productive and knowledgeable workers who can generate social surplus and respond to preferences. Furthermore, democratic societies need to create citizens who are capable of participating in the project of shared governance. The correlation between educational attainment and civic participation is strong and well-documented: educated citizens have more opportunities to obtain and exercise civic skills, are more interested in and informed about politics, and in turn, are more likely to vote (Verba, Schlozman, & Brady 1995: 432–437, 445).
It is therefore relatively uncontroversial to say that education is a highly valuable good to both individuals and to society, especially to democratic societies. This makes questions about who has access to high-quality educational opportunities, and how educational opportunities should be distributed, particularly important.
Questions about the just distribution of educational opportunity are especially vexing given the scarcity of resources allocated to education. Although developed societies provide some education for free to their citizens, funding for education is always in competition with the need to provide citizens with other social goods. As Amy Gutmann writes: “The price of using education to maximize the life chances of children would be to forego these other social goods” (Gutmann 1999: 129). Other basic welfare needs (e.g., housing, healthcare, food), as well as cultural goods (e.g., museums, parks, concert halls), must be weighed against public funds allocated to education, thereby making high-quality education—even in highly productive societies—scarce to some degree.

A. Death may not a permanent state of being and can perhaps be reversed.
B. A person needs structure and support in order to form a good conscience and proper identity.
C. Hatred should always be met with hatred, and injury met with revenge.
D. Playing with life is a power that corrupts and can have terrible consequences.
Answer:
D. Playing with life is a power that corrupts and can have terrible consequences.
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from Frankenstein, Chapter 16, this is a story of Victor Frankenstein creating life in his laboratory.
However,he finds out that what he created is a monster and he attempts to flee.
The monster he created vows to destroy Victor and everything he holds dear.
The sentence that best describes a central theme of the text is that playing with life is a disruptive power and can have dire consequences, as shown in option D.
We can arrive at this answer because:
When Frankenstein decided to create life, he despised all the responsibility this entailed.When he rejected the creature he created, it had a series of dire consequences.Frankenstein rejected the life he created and the creature felt slighted and a victim of horrible loneliness.This caused him to cause a series of problems, which harmed Frankenstein and the people around him.Although the violent acts were provoked by the creature, it was Frankenstein's rejection that provoked it. This region arose from Frankenstein's irresponsibility in playing with life.
This question is about chapter 16 of "Frankenstein."

Throughout your entire story writing process, you will likely ask your self many questions along the way. While crafting the setting of your story, come up with three questions that you feel would be the most important questions to consider in order to craft an effective and purposeful plot. Briefly explain why each question is important
Answer:
What is the period of time in which this story takes place? Where is this story taking place? Is this an urban or rural environment?Explanation:
The scenario is one of the most important elements of a narrative, because it allows the reader to situate himself within the story, in addition, the scenario can pass on a lot of information that helps to understand the other elements that make up the plot.
One of the main factors of the scenario that the author must determine is the period of time in which the story takes place. This determines whether the scenario is modern or old. This can influence the way the characters act and think, as well as influence the clothes, the houses, the way the characters speak and even the language present in the story. This type of influence can also be seen when the author determines where that story takes place, which in addition to what has already been mentioned, can influence the cultural aspects and habits of the characters.
Lastly, it is important to determine whether the scenario is urban or rural, this can change the whole history since the elements that make up the urban scenario are totally different from those that make up the rural scenario.

Answer:
This question is incomplete, but I will still give you an explanation of the themes Young Goodman Brown is about.
Explanation:
The story Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne has as their main themes faith, religion, sins and good versus evil.
Brown's faith is easily corrupted by the Devil in the woods. In turn, he feels guilty when he knows what he is going to do and says goodbye to his beloved wife, whom he considers a very good and religious woman.
There is also a criticism of the Puritan religion and you can see how all the Puritans in the story "hid something" since they were all present that night in the forest. All of them had been tempted by evil.
This is where good versus evil comes into play, as not even the purest people in the city could be considered good.
Which do you believe a writer depends on to make his or her argument persuasive: ethos, pathos, or logos? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
Ethos, logos, and pathos are persuasional tools that can help writers make their argument appeal to readers; this is why they're known as the argumentative appeals. Using a combination of appeals is recommended in each essay. Make sure to consider carefully your audience and to stress the kind(s) of appeal that will be the most effective with each audience.
Ethos: This appeal involves convincing your audience that you are intelligent and can be trusted. Writers cannot simply say to their audience "I can be trusted because I'm smart and a good person." This appeal is perhaps the most difficult to establish; you have to prove yourself by demonstrating that you understand what you are arguing
Logos: You appeal to logic when you rely on your audience’s intelligence and when you offer credible evidence to support your argument. That evidence includes:
FACTS- These are valuable because they are not debatable; they represent the truth
EXAMPLES- These include events or circumstances that your audience can relate to their life
PRECEDENTS- These are specific examples (historical and personal) from the past
AUTHORITY- The authority must be timely (not out-dated), and it must be qualified to judge the topic
DEDUCTIVE/INDUCTIVE- Deductive reasoning is when you pick apart evidence to reach conclusions, and inductive reasoning is when you add logical pieces to the evidence to reach conclusions.
Pathos: This kind of appeal can be very effective if it’s not over-done, especially if your topic is an emotional one. Because your audience has emotions as well as intellect, your argument must seek to engage the audience emotionally. However, using emotional appeal alone is not as effective as when it is used in conjunction with logical and/or ethical appeals.
Hope this helps! Have a nice day :) Also hint, pathos is the least affectiv

Does anyone know where I can find a quote or does anyone have a quote of what Bruno looks like from the story "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"?
Answer:
here the answer
Explanation:
The protagonist and narrator, at the start of the novel Bruno is a nine-year-old boy living in Berlin during World War II. His Father, a Nazi officer, then moves the family to Auschwitz, Poland. As Bruno is young and cannot pronounce certain words, throughout the novel Hitler is referred to as “the Fury” (the Führer) and Auschwitz is referred to as “Out-With.” Bruno is very sheltered and naïve, and though he develops a close friendship with Shmuel, a Jewish boy in the concentration camp, Bruno has a difficult time grasping exactly how hard life is on the other side of the fence. Bruno is very interested in art and books, and loves exploring. He wants to become a soldier like his father, and though his parents never explain to him what is happening in the war, he has been indoctrinated from a young age to believe that Germany, the “Fatherland,” is superior to all other nations. Bruno is small for his age, and is very sensitive to people like Lieutenant Kotler calling him “little man.
Read this excerpt from "Solitude" by Henry David Thoreau.
The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now; the fox, and skunk, and rabbit, now roam the fields and woods without fear. They are Nature’s watchmen —links which connect the days of animated life.
How does Thoreau distinguish the natural world, perhaps in contrast to the human world?
He describes the manner by which the forest sustains life.
He characterizes nature by its constant alertness and activity.
He characterizes nature by its lack of reservation.
He describes the organized structure of the forest world.
