Why might a dictator want to be in power?

Geography
1 answer:
Softa [21]1 year ago
4 0

Answer: When democracy falls, usually, the country's elites feel that democracy no longer “works” for them so they push for a dictatorship with hopes of stabilizing the government. With only 1 person in power, things should seemingly run smoother. However, in most cases in the long run this only divides a country further into turmoil.

Explanation:

Dictators may rise to power in a democracy through several ways. One way is the result of political polarization, where the competing political sides no longer want to cooperate with one another, allowing violent or extremist groups to take over politics instead.

Also, democracy can fall when a country’s elites feel that democracy no longer “works” for them. When these elites feel that losing an election may mean forfeiting their power and influence over the country, they may seek to take over the country by force, turning it into a dictatorship. Or, democracies can fall the other (more subtle) way, when elites first grab on to power via democratic means, before then stripping away democratic rights.

Explain how different life would be without rainforest sources goods and services
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

<em>Rain forests provide important ecological services, including storing hundreds of billions of tons of carbon, buffering against flood and drought, stabilizing soils, influencing rainfall patterns, and providing a home to wildlife and indigenous people. Rain forests are also the source of many useful products upon which local communities depend. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>While rain forests are critically important to humanity, they are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of deforestation is conversion of forest land for agriculture. In the past subsistence agriculture was the primary driver of rain forest conversion, but today industrial agriculture — especially mono-culture and livestock production — is the dominant driver of rain forest loss worldwide. Logging is the biggest cause of forest degradation and usually proceeds deforestation for agriculture.</em>
