What does the line "If all men count with you, but none too much" mean in the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling?

The line in question is in the fourth stanza of the poem “If” by Rudyard Kipling. Kipling wrote the poem for his son as a means of teaching him how to be a righteous, virtuous man. The fourth stanza relays advice on how to deal with other people.

The line “If all men count with you, but none too much” is meant to help his son understand he should value all human beings but no one person or group of people should seem far more important than another. In other words, everyone, no matter what their station in life, has value. There are none who are not important in the grand scheme of life. Kipling is teaching his son not to think of those in higher stations to be more relevant or more in need of his attention. Basically, he is admonishing his son to seek an equal balance in his feelings for all mankind.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of rural industrialization?

The major advantages of industrialization in rural areas are employment, infrastructure, and education. Rural areas are often left behind when it comes to economic opportunities. For families that do not farm, rural areas can mean a lengthy commute to the nearest job sites, but more often, those in rural areas experience higher rates of unemployment. Industrialization can bring jobs to those remote areas, and with jobs, better infrastructure. Building a factory means building roads to the factory, ensuring quick shipping routes, and providing adequate housing for employees. Finally, with better infrastructure and job opportunities often come better schools. The tax base in a community increases around industry, small businesses come in to serve that industry (such as restaurants and hotels). As property values increase, the demand for and funding for public schools increase.

The major disadvantages of industrialization in rural areas are pollution, displacement of residents, and loss of natural spaces. Rural areas can be more susceptible to groundwater and/or freshwater pollution when industry moves in because they do not have the safeguards already in place in industrialized areas. The issue is compounded if the rural area is home to livestock and/or crop farming. When industry comes to a rural area, bringing jobs and tax breaks with it, it may need to displace homes, businesses, schools, and wildlife to set up operations. Finally, rural areas are marked by unspoiled acreage, which may not generate revenue, but preserves green spaces and wildlife.  Loss of green spaces is one of the major reasons rural residents protest industrialization.

This case is simple: This is vehicular assault. It is entirely the driver's fault, there is no excuse for this behavior, and there is basically no chance the driver will be able to foist the liability off on the company or the other driver. Indeed, they may actually be subject to criminal penalties (in addition to civil penalties) for their reckless and harmful action. In fact, if anyone dies in the other vehicle, they could probably be charged with second-degree murder.

The fact that the light was actually green at the time the driver accelerated might mitigate their liability slightly, but not very much. Unless they can successfully argue that they thought the other vehicle was moving and were mistaken (and even then, the burden of proof would be on them, since it is generally the responsibility of drivers to ensure that they do not collide with vehicles that are stationary for any reason---including stalls and other emergency stops), they are going to be held responsible based on intent---they caused the collision willfully and on purpose.

In "The Road Not Taken," how might the two roads stand for two ways of life?

The two roads can really stand in for any two choices or possibilities, including two different ways of life.  Just as the speaker considers the two roads before him, he might consider two possible life paths which are open to him at a particular moment in time.  He claims that the second option is "just as fair" as the first, just as two possible ways of life might seem equally appealing (line 6).  Further, he says, "[...] the passing there / Had worn them really about the same" (9-10).  He means, here, that an approximately equal number of people have chosen each path, just as many numbers of people will have taken each of the ways of life which are open to us.  After the speaker chooses the second path, he engages in some wishful thinking, that someday he might return to that first path and see where it leads, but, he says, "knowing how way leads on to way, / I doubted if I should ever come back" (14-15).  Once one chooses a particular way of life, one cannot really switch gears and suddenly choose a different one, or, at least, it's extremely difficult to do so. 

How do I write 10 questions about these graphs on carbon emissions? ...

The first thing that I would recommend before writing the questions is determine which kinds of question you would like to ask. Do you want to ask multiple choice, true/ false, fill in the blank, or short answer questions? I would also figure out how difficult of a question you would like to ask. Based on the links, I am going to assume the questions need to be fairly simple and straightforward. The links contain "primary" and "grade5" in them, so I would make sure the questions are accessible for fifth graders. Don't ask anything beyond their cognitive abilities, and keep question vocabulary simple enough to be accessible to a fairly young reader. I will write a few sample questions in order to provide you with a start.  

1. Which country has the highest carbon emissions?


2. Which country has the lowest carbon emissions?


3. Do both graphs agree on which country is the highest and lowest polluter?  


4. Which graph is easier to read? Why? 

What are some quotes about women in World War I?

World War I saw many women occupy positions that had previously largely only been held by men. Some of these positions included bus conductors, postal workers, bank tellers, police officers, firefighters, and factory workers.

Kathryn J. Atwood, author of Women Heroes of World War I has said the following of women who lived during that time:

“During the conflict that was placed before them, they not only gained the gratitude of many in their own generation but they proved, for the first time on a global scale, the enormous value of a woman’s contribution, paving the way for future generations of women to do the same.” 

In Britain, women were instrumental in encouraging men to fight in the war. Posters and other propaganda were created to prod men into serving in the war. One of the best known quotes on these posters said:

"Women of Britain say go."

However, women's actions during World War I were more powerful than the propagandizing of their words. Author Belinda Davis' quote about the heavy burden placed on women during World War I was powerful:

"When her work day was done, she went looking for food to buy, often standing in line for hours for scarce basic goods, scrounged for hard-to-come-by fuel to feed the furnace and cooked dinner. She washed the children, put them to bed, cleaned up and wrote a letter to her husband, keeping her worry off the page, before sleeping a few hours. And then she got up and did it again."

I need help with writing a speech in response to the following prompt: Imagine you are a lawyer, defending Macbeth's crimes. Write the...

The first thing to note here is that you would need to go against the text of the play as it would have been understood by the original audience. There is no actual evidence that Shakespeare was portraying Macbeth as insane; instead, he is an example of a man corrupted by power and ambition. In order to complete your assignment, you would need to do an anachronistic reading of the play.

The first line of argument you might take (albeit a very anachronistic one) would be to cast doubt on the existence of the witches. You would argue that the story of the witches is inherently improbable, and that no rational person believes in magic and divination. From this assumption, you would then argue that Macbeth's belief in the existence of the witches was evidence that he was subject to hallucinations. Hearing voices that command a person to commit violent acts is a symptom of schizophrenia as is the grandiosity of what these hallucinations seem to be suggesting to him. 

Similarly, the appearance of Banquo's ghost, invisible to other people, could be seen to confirm a diagnosis of insanity.
