The modern philosophy of "out with the old, in with the new"
has been used and abused for years. Oftentimes, it has more
to do with making a profit rather than a legitimate need for
something new. Across the United States, beautiful, historic
architecture is frequently destroyed to make way for malls,
high-rise apartment buildings, grandiose homes, and other
structures. Unfortunately, little is done to protect our history.
Over the past several years, it has become increasingly
common for big-name developers to tear down Victorian
Craftsman, and Colonial buildings. This destruction is often
performed with the thought that it is the property that holds
the true value, not the structure that sits on it. Likewise,
homeowners have begun to value their property's location
over the house they have spent many years living in. Little
regard is given to the painstaking details and craftsmanship
that went into these buildings. nor the innate beauty of
hand-carved woodwork and ornamentation. "Out with the
old, in with the new" has resulted in people no longer
appreciating the history and artistic integrity of our country's
oldest buildings and failing to realize that once "the new" is
brought in the old" is lost to us forever.
It is bad enough that developers and private citizens are
blind to the beauty around them: what is worse is that local
governments refuse to step in and prevent this destruction.

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here?
