passage 17
It is often defined as " rule by the majority."

This definition is accurate in that a majority must agree on a decision before action is taken.

having respect for the right of minority groups and individuals."
  

passage 18

passage 19
The objective of some taxes on foreign imports is to protect an industry

that produces goods vital to a nation's defense.

Without protection, such industries might be weakened by foreign competition.

Then, in an international crisis,

the nation might find itself in short supply of products essential security.
  

passage 20
Suppose a football game begins at 1: 00 p.m. in New york.

It is than 6 :00 p.m. in London. which time is correct? If an explosion occurred on a star,

But anyone traveling in another would identify the time differently.

thus there is no absolute time.
  

passage 21

were asked to phone in pledges of money to give to african relief.

passage 22
Competition implies a set of rules that govern the conduct of the opposed parties.

In all cases, tricks and physical threats are prohibited.

But points can be scored only in a limited number of right ways,

and the game is governed by a set of rules.
  

passage 23
The aged live with enforced leisure,

on fixed income, subject to many continual illnesses.

They also live in a culture that worships youth.

They are often treated like outcasts by a kind of culturally

I sometimes fear that mine will be the last generation to

have a sense of what growing old means.

with the blackboard behind him.

who were to take part in the ceremony of the evening.

They were all washed and dressed to an intolerable state of discomfort.
  

passage 26
We decide what is important or trivial in life.

We decide what we must do and must not.

No matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions,

these choices and decisions are ours to make.

As we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.
  

passage 27
The primary aims of government should be three: security, justice, and conservation.

these are things of the utmost importance to human happiness,

and they are things that only government can bring about.

At the same time, no one of them is absolute; each may, in some circumstances,

have to be sacrificed in some degree for the sake of a greater degree of some other good.

I shall say something about each in turn.
  

passage 28
 

Some universities remain silent on the important issues of the day,

justifying their silence on the grounds that universities are neutral

and should not become involved.

Such unwillingness to participate turns off many students and members of the community

who look to universities for wise leadership.

Campuses should serve s marketplaces for ideas.

By participating in their community, they should provide a genuine service,

even to many who believe that universities are academic in the worst sense of the term.

an important role in illness and healing.

there has been a lot of research that proves (that) our mind affects illness and healing.

A medical center reported that a larger portion of their patients were people

who did not have an organic disease but were seeking psychological help.
