Why should The Merchant of Venice not be banned in schools?
Book and play banning is very undesirable and even dangerous, If a work should be banned the burden of proof must be on the who person who issues the ban.
Highly controversial works that many people find offensive should probably not be required reading in public schools, but they should not be banned. Works by critically acclaimed writers always have some value even if they are not politically correct at the moment.
What is a real life example of Harassment?
A nurse who is required to wear a skirt or dress uniform (rather than slacks) is performing her daily routines of giving medicines, caring for patients, and writing nurse's notes in patient charts. As she is standing at the desk reviewing doctor's orders, an orderly uses an empty wrapping paper roll to lift her skirt from behind. When she quickly turns around, he lowers the roll so no one else has seen his harassing actions.
Harassment at the workplace is often similar to bullying at school. It can involve off-color jokes, jokes at someone else's personal expense, humiliating actions or "joking", physical intrusion (such as "accidentally" entering a women's bathroom, or "accidentally" brushing up against a female's breasts or behind), or actual physical / sexual touching.
Whether at school or at work, harassment and sexual harassment are wrong and should be reported.
Why are primary sources ore reliable than secondary sources for drawing conclusions about an event?
Yes it is more reliable as it shows exact happenings and without bias, but interpretation of that source can be different in various perceptions.
Another viewNo. All sources, whether primary or secondary, need to be evaluated.
Moreover, the term primary source can be problematical. There are many kinds of primary sources, and in all cases their reliability needs to be assessed. The fact that a source is 'old and ancient' does not necessarily make it primary or reliable.
Take, for example, a chronicle kept by monks in a medieval monastery of key events that happened in their own lifetime. Key questions one needs to ask include these:
- Was the author, at least in part, repeating gossip?
- Did the author actually witness any of the events described?
- Did the author have contact with witnesses to the events?
- What written sources, if any, did the author use and how reliable are they?
- Is the chronicle largely a summary of other accounts?
- In what sense, if any, is the chronicle actually a primary source?
- Is the source, perhaps, in reality no more that a summary of other secondary sources? (If so, it might be classed as tertiary - that is, third tier - source).
- Does the author or his monastery have some point of view or particular interest or grievance that it seems to 'push'?
- Are there competing versions of the chronicle and, if so, what accounts for the variations - and how drastic are they?
- Is the chronicle generally naive or does it show indications of skepticism and evaluation?
On the other hand, if you are looking at the monastery's medieval laundry lists, then there is presumably no reason to be skeptical.
In practice one often has to take 'authority' as a guide to reliability, for example, the fact that among specialists in the subject a source is generally regarded as reliable, and/or the fact that it has been recommended by a teacher that you trust on the scholarly or scientific level.

Why did western Europe have a high literacy rate?
I am just giving a general educated guess about though I think the reason why is that because Literature began in Europe back to the times of when Shakespeare was well known for his rich plays that involves a lot of beautiful words it develops, people started to value this way of languages to this day this is why I think Europe have a high literacy rate....I am sorry if I am wrong but I tried :)
It's important because when you read it helps your English or any kind of language your reading become better and you will learn more new words and soon I guarantee you that if you person start reading you'll see results to your language.
P.S If i were you I'll choose English and I`ll start ....hmm...maybe...right NOW

Why Is it important to read Nonfiction?
Because you like to? By the sounds of the question, you are looking for a non-fiction answer as opposed to a fictional one. Imagine if everything you've ever read was fictional with zero pertinence to reality, what value would your reading efforts truly be of to you? Even most of the fiction people read pertains to real, value bearing, non-fictional parallels to real life and for that reason serves a purpose [or an importance] for people to read.
