Carter has lived through many changes in both his life and this world, including seeing both of his parents die before he was 10 years old. He also witnessed World War II firsthand while serving in the U.S. Navy during the war.
Despite these challenges, Carter continued to pursue a career in public service after returning from the war, eventually becoming president of Georgia and later being elected as President of the United States in 1976. During his presidency, he oversaw several significant accomplishments including negotiating peace between Israel and Egypt through the Camp David Accords.
Carter's legacy continues to be celebrated today for his contributions to human rights, democracy, and international relations. He has also been recognized with numerous awards throughout his life including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1980.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Carters' different paths show the range of an often-misunderstood service. However, this statement is misleading as hospice care is not a one-size-fits-all solution and each patient's needs are unique. Secondly, the article quotes Angela Novas stating that hospice has raised questions for people to learn more about end of life care. This statement implies that there was previously little knowledge or understanding of hospice care when in fact it has been around since World War II and is a well-established service. Lastly, the article states that patients give up curative treatments and many medicines which is not entirely accurate as treatment plans are case by case.
