<p>yeah i think that was the arrival of customers too</p>
<p>and now that you have the full passage up there, i'd say the fact that is says "coming from the loins" supports the manufacturing process even more, because it's coming from the loins of the manufacturing process, not coming from the loins of the whaaaambulance-calling factory workers</p>
<p>guys..it is not conviction..it was diffident
the author was sitting at the tomb. and teh police officer walked "sorta shy and nicely" he wasn't convicting the author....he was shy which means he was diffident = lacking confidence.</p>
<p>So the tomb one was experimental since I didn't have it...</p>
<p>did anyone get wi****l nostalgia..for an answer?</p>
<p>.....i can't edit..so i guess i will post agian.
am i the only one that picked the need for comformity? cause 1 person and everyone follows what he does..why would it be either power of suggestion of personality / behavior ?</p>
<p>I said need for conformity.</p>
<p>I think because in another question that was like, "what can be accounted for in the passage" and it gave examples of people yawning, it also gave an example of people doing something to conform to others around them, so I think that's why I put that...</p>
<p>i changed from conformity to personality
i don't know why i changed it though, the passage probably included other infos
not just on conformity</p>
<p>It's power of suggestion.</p>
<p>The definition of "power of suggestion" is that by showing something to someone, they'll think about it. </p>
<p>So by yawning in front of someone or them reading about yawning, it causes them to yawn. ---Which was mentioned in the passage.</p>
<p>Need for conformity would mean that if one person yawned, everybody else would yawn to fit in. ----which was never mentioned in the passage.</p>
<p>Personality isn't right because the passage says nothing about personality.</p>
<p>Does any of you recall what the choice that mentioned the "manufacturing process" read exactly? I want the <em>exact</em> words of the choice, not just a paraphrase.</p>
<p>Procrastinate,</p>
<p>I can see support for your choice, but I can also see support for mine. I'm really torn on this question. Good CR questions should not work like this (have a second possible answer that can be supported with concrete evidence as well). One should always be able to argue convincingly for the correct answer over an incorrect answer, and your reasoning does not convince me that your choice is the only good choice so far. Maybe it's time to call College Board again. :D</p>
<p>I chose power of suggestion and i'm pretty sure thats right cuz these are two definitions of suggestion that I found:</p>
<ol>
<li> ability to conjure up associations: the ability of words or images to conjure up ideas or feelings, the process by which they do this, or a particular idea or image conjured up by something<br></li>
<li> putting ideas into somebodys mind: the deliberate introduction into somebodys mind of an opinion, belief, or instruction, for example, through hypnosis or advertising, so that it is accepted or acted on as that persons own idea<br></li>
</ol>
<p>And if anybody doesn't mind, could you give me some feedback on my essay. Thanx. This is more or less what I wrote:</p>
<pre><code>Materialism is a value that often spawns greed and corruption and causes many to place a higher value upon money and luxury than upon humanity. Thus, a society consumed by materialistic values is ultimately one devoid of morality. The events that catalyzed the Great Depression and the character Siddhartha in the novel Siddhartha accurately reflect the adverse effects that secularism has upon society.
In the 1920s, materialism pervaded American society and a measure of ones success was often based upon financial gains and social status. As a result getting rich quickly became the main objective of many Americans. Men and women subsequently invested in the stock market hoping to make a profit, even if it meant that they had to invest on margin. Speculation rapidly reached gigantic proportions, resulting in the stock market crash of 1929. This catapulted the nation into the Great Depression, an era epitomized by chronic unemployment and starvation. This disastrous event reveals the fact that materialism is ultimately a bane upon society.
In the novel Siddhartha, the main character Siddhartha is a deeply religious man who embarks upon a quest to attain spirituality. He consequently joins the Semanas, a group of deeply devout ascetics. However, he eventually becomes jaded and chooses to enter society and adopt the values of the modern world. He becomes a merchant and quickly loses his identity as he becomes consumed by materialism. He reaches the point where he nearly commits suicide, feeling that his life is worthless. At that moment, Siddhartha discovers that simplicity is the key to happiness. He sees that he had become so immersed in his materialistic life, that he was blinded and was unable to concentrate upon the important things in life, such as his family.
As you can see, criticism of materialism in modern society is justified. In the Great Depression, materialism led to economic downfall. In Siddhartha, Siddhartha is unable to reconcile his religious beliefs with and is almost destroyed by materialism, revealing the fact that materialism ultimately hinders progress in society.

<p>I'm not very happy with it cuz I don't really feel like my ideas flowed or supported my thesis and my conclusion sucked cuz I ran out of time.</p>
<p>i dont know if u answered the question</p>
<p>I'll weigh in on the debate: the answer is "power of suggestion." I am 100% certain.</p>
<p>so I think its safe to say that we've all violated our contracts =) hehe</p>
<p>Idk if anyone's looking for an explanation for that (x-k)(x-m)=x^2+...
(I cant really remember the problem) but here goes:</p>
<p>just foil the left side out and set the middle term of the left equal to the middle term on the right and set the last term on the left equal to the last term on the right and solve for whatever variable they wanted (I think it was m)</p>
<p>Hey how bout the question in the shopkeepers passage about the meaning of compensation?
Was it the financial rewards that come with indsutrialization</p>
<p>Ptang69,</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>The manufacturing process one said that the phrase "characterizes the manufacturing process"</p>
<p>Oh and did anyone else have trouble with the archeology one? I'm 99% sure that my proctor gave us only 20 minutes instead of 25 minutes on the section cuz I still had 4 blank at the end and I had a watch and was trying to keep myself to exactly a minute a question. I was mad cuz I found that passage hard enough as it is.</p>
<p>What were the answer choices to the compensation question?</p>
<p>"did anyone get 13 for a question where it was like
2x + 3y = C"</p>
<p>i don't recall this question....does anyone know the question and could tell me? thanks...CC is making me paranoid lol....</p>
<p>yeah, i got 13, and I remember too because I plugged it into the calculator to double check</p>
<p>lakshmi52,</p>
<p>You should have complained to the proctor! My proctor wasn't great, either. She used the clock in the room, but she did not start the time exactly on the minute. So on most sections, she either gave us 20-30 extra seconds or shortchanged us by 20-30 seconds. I know this because I brought a digital watch with a countdown timer (she also transitioned VERY quickly -- within a matter of seconds -- from section to section, so I could not always start the timer exactly when she asked us to begin the section -- that was very annoying). It doesn't sound like a big deal, but when the students are trying to work the last question or bubble in that last answer, and time is called early, she is robbing students of some valuable points. I think all proctors should use a digital timer.</p>
