Jonathan Swift employed satire in his works because it yielded effective outcomes, as it was a literary style he consistently practiced and demonstrated great creativity with. His satirical talent is apparent from his initial publications, where he mocks literary debates regarding the merits of ancient versus modern works and employs satire to critique hypocrisy in religious and literary contexts. Furthermore, in his renowned work, The Journeys of Gulliver, he utilizes imaginative and cynical satire to comment on society, while also sharply critiquing the politics and social relationships of his era.

COMMONLIT<br> 6.<br> What does Dr. Pickhardt want parents to understand about adolescent rebellion?
ddd [6233]

Answer:

Dr. Pickhardt aims to guide parents on managing their children's rebellious behavior.

Explanation:

'Rebel with a Cause: Rebellion in Adolescence' is authored by Dr. Carl Pickhardt and it explores teenage rebellion, emphasizing its significance in fostering independence in adolescents.

According to Dr. Pickhardt, such rebellion typically occurs from ages 9 to 23. He clarifies that this rebellion isn't directed against parents themselves but rather against their ideas or actions. Hence, adolescents typically resist parents’ views instead of rebelling against their authority.

He suggests that it’s crucial for parents to approach this rebellion thoughtfully, avoiding responses marked by anger or dismissal. Instead, they should listen attentively and offer guidance, as peers significantly influence adolescent thoughts.

By allowing some space for rebellion, parents can instill the idea that their supportive views genuinely matter more than those of peers.
