Question

how might rousseaus upbringing have influenced his thinking about power and opportunity in society? it gave him knowledge of how watches were made. it exposed him to the struggles of working people. it made him appreciate his fathers wealth and power. rewatch skip

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Knowledge of watch - making is not relevant to his thinking about power and opportunity in society.
• Option 2: Rousseau's upbringing, including his experiences, exposed him to the struggles of working - class people. This exposure would be relevant to his thoughts on power (how power is distributed and used) and opportunity (who has access to opportunities) in society, as it would make him aware of the inequalities faced by the working class.
• Option 3: Rousseau was critical of the existing social order and wealth - based power structures. Appreciating his father's wealth and power goes against his known philosophical stance and would not influence his thinking about power and opportunity in the way his ideas developed.

Answer:

B. It exposed him to the struggles of working people.
