1) The purpose of this statement is to inform the reader of about this foundation and how advertisements should not make falsely claims to remain ethical. This arguments has two claims which are "ethics generally starts with truth and fairness" and " lying about a product is unfair to customer" . I believe these are the claims because they are what the writer believes to be true. The premises is "ethics generally starts with truth and fairness" and both of the statement present an argument due to the fact that they are both claims backed up by the reason and there is more than one claim presented in this statement. The first claim present the argument that ethics is the foundation of truth and fairness and in the example of advertising, the ratio of and fairness is equivalent.

4) Thoreau desire to experience life and it's meaning by living by the most simple term possible. He lived of the land. He built his own house. He hunted and fished his own food. He lived in solitiude. Through this things, Thoreau experienced how life truly is truly meant to be lived.
He desired to be live a mindfully rich life, rather than a monetarily rich life, and to do that he had to prove that living off the most base means is not only possible but worthwhile.

Because of this worry we meet apologize of serial offenders and apologizers with skepticism until the offender consistently avoids temtations to repeat the offense.
7) The statement has represent clearly that, he requested to take action to avoid for future uncertainty and to avoid irregular water supply of the Jordonian Valley.
