Question

When Shaw makes a statement he supports it with a number of examples. Identify two sections in the text which explain a statement with examples. Write down the main statement and the examples.
Notice how this contributes to the effectiveness of the writing.

Answer 1

There are many statements which Shaw make in the text, two of which are as follows:
Example 1:
"The object of all honest governments should be to prevent your being imposed on in this way. But the object of most actual governments, I regret to say, is exactly the opposite. They enforce your slavery and call it freedom." - Living in a civilised country, and the government controls our freedom by directing us to what not to do. Its complete slavery in the name of freedom.
Example 2:
"The slavery of man to man is the very opposite of this. It is hateful to the body and to the spirit." For instance, we have been told by our teachers, parents what is right and what is wrong. "You know what people say, what the priest says, what tradition says, and what you have learned in school". Yet, you say you are free when all these forms a kind of enclosure within which you live, and we living in that space makes us feel free.
