What are the 3 objections to answering Yali's question?This can be found in the prologue

I think that you mean "objections" to Yali's question and
not "objectives."  That is why I have changed the question...  The three objections
are:


  1. If we explain why some people rule over or
    dominate others, aren't we saying that the domination is okay?  If we say that the
    Europeans dominate Yali's people due to various reasons, aren't we saying that it is
    right for the to dominate?

  2. If we answer this question,
    aren't we automatically being pro-European?  Isn't it wrong to talk about European
    dominance when that might be disappearing anyway?

  3. Doesn't
    the question imply that civilization is good and other types of society are
    not?

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
