Answer:

In the book Odyssey by Homer, Odysseus weeps when Demodocus sings his songs about the Trojan War.

When the blind harper Demodocus entertains the court of Alcinous, the assembly enjoys the tales he tells and appreciates his beautiful singing. Unfortunately, the subject of the first and third performance is Odysseus himself during his time in Troy. The tales bring up hard memories for him and he's overwhelmed. In response, he covers his face with his cloak and weeps.

The second song Demodocus sings is about Ares and Aphrodite, and it doesn't have any sad effects on Odysseus. He enjoys it with everyone else.

Odysseus's weeping is consistent with what we would expect of a modern hero. It depicts modesty and an acknowledgement of the sacrifices of others in ensuring the achievements for which the hero is being praised. It also depicts an acknowledgement of his own imperfections and mistakes on the journey to becoming a hero.

Perrow (1972) stated that in order for bureaucracy to be efficient, it must be "<u>stable</u>".



Perrow (1972) has gone significantly further, proposing that "the transgressions for the most part credited to organization are either not sins at all or are results of the inability to bureaucratize adequately". Then again, Perrow additionally recognizes that the "perfect" type of an organization is never figured it out. One reason for this is individuals from the association "track a wide range of mud from whatever remains of their lives with them into the association, and they have a wide range of interests that are free of the association".

Characteristics frequently associated with nonvoters include which of the following?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

c. Low education, low income, and being relatively young.

Explanation:

The people with lower literacy rates were mostly unaware of the value of their vote and their citizenship rights. They lacked faith in the voting system and see it as a system of just pretending to secure their rights. Young age and lack of patience drive them towards other methods to change their socio-economic conditions while some consider that irrespective of what they choose it would not change their life anyhow.

Verdich [7]

If a person under the age of 16 is found guilty of driving under the influence of drugs, his or her driving privileges will be suspended and delayed until he or she reaches 17 years for the first offense.

Explanation:

At the age of 16, people are eligible for a student license. In this process people are allowed to drive only if they are accompanied by a parent, a 20-year-old adult who has had a driver's authorisation for at least four or more consecutive years or a driving instructor, who has been free to suspend.

Minors can face six months to one year imprisonment in a juvenile corrections facility for driving without a license. In fact, however, this sentence is likely to be based on community service, which may vary in time. The unlicensed juvenile driving may also affect other people. Charges against the registered owner for allowing the incident to occur and/or charges against the parents for negligence may also be carried.
