During the Industrial Revolution, what was Karl Marx's solution to the situation of the proletariat?

In a more direct and specific sense, Karl Marx's solution
to the problem of the working class was violent revolution.  He believed class conflict
between worker and the wealthy owners was inevitable, and that such conflict should come
in the form of armed revolution to remove the government, start over, and put in place a
government of the working class, with profit being illegal, and all property owned by
the state.

He believed the profit motive was why workers
were being exploited so badly at the time, and that people of wealth and privilege would
never give those things up voluntarily.  In this way, he believed Marxism/communism was
the natural evolution of a government.  All class struggle, he argued, would eventually
lead to it.

How do postsynaptic potentials, synaptic transmission, and receptors affect behavior? Why is it important?

In order to understand how these factors affect behavior,
you must understand the function of neurons in the brain.  A neuron
is a specialized cell that is used to send and receive messages
throughout the nervous system.  Neurons control all aspects of human functioning
including behavior, thought, and automatic body processes.  Postsynaptic potentials,
synaptic transmission, and receptors all occur or exist within neurons and neuronal
systems.

Postsynaptic
potentials result in changes in membrane potentials, or voltage, at the
postsynaptic terminal of a synapse after the release of neurotransmitters from a
neuron's terminal bulbs.  Their purpose is to either inhibit or initiate action
potentials which serve to transmit information between neurons.  As neurotransmitters
attach to receptors of other neurons through
synaptic transmission, information is passed between these
neurons resulting in a particular behavior, thought, etc.  Essentially, these
processes/systems are the catalysts and instruments to all human functioning.  Without
them, we would be unable to think, behave, or exist.

In Paradise Lost does Milton ever show real symapathy for Satan? Do we get any autobiographical glimpses in it?How do we interpret Satan's...

Be not deceived! Our enemy the devil goes about like a
prowling lion, seeking whom he may destroy!

The reason you
are confused is because Satan is the father of lies. Milton purposefully portrays Satan
in a sympathetic way at the beginning of Paradise Lost so that his
readers will also sympathize with him. He is hoping to show readers that Satan is crafty
- looks good on the outside, but is evil on the inside. The Bible also warns that Satan
is not always a "prowling lion" and that he was once the angel of light, so sometimes
his evil looks mighty tempting. That is why he was able to trick Adam and Eve into
eating the fruit - he lied to them. He said, "You will not die! God just doesn't want
you to be like him!" So they ate. But this was not true.

In
the beginning of this epic, Satan gives great, leadership intense speeches. He rallies
all of the devils to his side. His speeches in the beginning all present him as almost
heroic. However, as the epic unfolds, we gradually witness his demise. He decides to
forsake trying to get back into heaven and live on earth after all, and this is where
Milton finally unveils him as the true deceiver that he is. All along, Satan's goal is
evil - trying to drag as many people down with him as possible. So, while readers may
identify with him in the beginning (because he is a lot like fallen man!), in the end,
his sin of pride is exposed and we see that Satan does not have any good intentions
towards mankind.

People that think Milton sympathized with
Satan do not understand his religious beliefs, that is why there is some confusion over
this. Satan only seems heroic in the beginning because we recognize ourselves in him.
Pride goes before the fall!

How does Gregor's transformation symbolize problems in his family and how the demands placed on him have worn him down?

Prior to his transformation, Gregor was faced with the
prospect of paying off his family's debts by working at a job he hates, all the while
attempting to win acceptance from his bully of a father. Gregor seems to have a
compassionate sister, Grete, but even she eventually turns on him. Gregor is a
self-sacrificing character; after his transformation, his family can no longer depend on
him and particularly his father now feels completely justified in berating his son as a
worthless insect; literally and figuratively.

After
Gregor's transformation the familial tensions grow exponentially. Being an insect,
trapped in his room, Gregor becomes a burden rather than a breadwinner. But, in his
isolation and freedom of this role of the sacrificer, Gregor is able to escape. Only
through isolating himself from the world (in his room and then in death) is Gregor able
to escape his role in his family.

To be more direct to your
question, I don't think Gregor's transformation symbolizes the problems in his family.
The radical nature of the transformation does show how ingrained the family's function
is. They are more concerned with the mundane daily concerns than with the fact that
their son is a giant insect. Gregor has been so worn down that a transformation of such
significance is the only way to extricate him from this
situation.

There are so many interpretations of this story.
One perspective regarding the transformation, in this context, is that even the most
radical change might not affect the habitual, repetitive function of a somewhat robotic
society. And sadly, that isolation from that world may be the only way to escape that
routine. Kafka was known for this kind existential look where the individual is on an
endless quest of meaning, acceptance or entrance into a more open world. Check out his
short story "Before the Law" and his novel, The
Castle.

What are 4 distinct social classes during that time that are represented in this work?Thank You

The most usual way of looking at class in The
Canterbury Tales is to split the pilgrims into the following four social
classes:

First, and most numerous in terms of the people in
the work, is the middle class.  This class is made up of people like the Merchant, the
Man of Law, and the Wife of Bath.  These are people who were not born to wealth or
position but who have acquired it.  They are the upwardly mobile people of the
time.

Second, we have the peasants.  These are the low end
of society.  Examples include the Plowman and the
Yeoman.

Third, we have the nobility.  These are the social
elite of society in Chaucer's time.  The Knight and the Squire are the examples of this
class.

Finally, there is the clergy.  There are actually
distinctions within the clergy, but they are generally talked about as one social
class.  The clergy in this work include the Prioress, the Monk and the
Nun.

Why did the people of Egypt make their kings into mummies?

To understand the answer to this, you should realize that
it was not only the kings who were mummified.  Thousands of mummies have been found, not
all were kings.  Basically, anyone who could afford to be mummified, was.  The reason
for this was because the Egyptians felt that being mummified was necessary in order to
have a good afterlife.  They believed that only people whose dead bodies were well
preserved could really have a complete life in the world that comes after
death.

Analyze Atticus's conversation with his neighbors, what "weapons" does he try to use in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Atticus Finch, of Harper Lee's masterpiece To
Kill a Mockingbird, treats all people the same
way.

Atticus is a man who is led by a moral compass that
never fails him under any circumstance. Scout reports that she has never heard him raise
his voice. Whether he approves of another person's actions or not, Atticus remains
constant: quiet and respectful.

With his friends, like Miss
Maudie, Atticus is cordial and good-humored. For people like Miss Stephanie and Mrs.
Dubose, he goes out of his way to be positive and/or complimentary. Atticus gives advice
to Jem, specifically, on how he should act with Mrs.
Dubose.

"Easy
does it son, son...She's an old lady and she's ill. You just hold your head high and be
a gentleman. Whatever she says to you, it's your job not to let her make you
mad.

And in meeting the
cantankerous woman himself,

Atticus would sweep off his hat, wave gallantly
to her and say, 'Good evening, Mrs. Dubose! You look like a picture this
evening.'

When the men from
Atticus' community come to speak with him about defending Tom Robinson, Atticus listens
quietly and responds the same way. When the mob comes to the jail to lynch Tom Robinson,
Atticus is calm and gracious in addressing the men before him. He becomes fearful when
the children arrive, instructing them to leave, but he does not raise his voice even
when they refuse to do so. (Scout ultimately diffuses the tension—and the group—as
quietly as Atticus might have.)

Perhaps the clearest
example of Atticus' ability to rise above the behavior of others without losing his
temper is the way he acts when Bob Ewell spits in his face and threatens to kill him.
Atticus' only response later is:

I wish Bob Ewell wouldn't chew
tobacco.

And later, that was
Atticus' only comment about the incident. However...

readability="7">

Miss Stephanie said Atticus didn't bat an eye,
just took out his handkerchief  and wiped his face and stood there and let Mr. Ewell
call him names wild horses could not bring her to
repeat

and then
[he]...

put
his hands in his pockets and strolled on. Miss Stephanie said you had to haind it to
Atticus Finch, he could be right dry
sometimes.

Atticus' only
weapons are his integrity; his belief that to understand others you must walk in their
skin; and, to "kill others with kindness" regardless of their
behavior.
