1. How does supporting the human with defenders align with the philosophies of america's founding fathers?
hoa [83]

To be a human rights defender, a person can act to address any human right (or rights) on behalf of individuals or groups. Human rights defenders seek the promotion and protection of civil and political rights as well as the promotion, protection and realization of economic, social and cultural rights.

Human rights defenders address any human rights concerns, which can be as varied as, for example, summary executions, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, female genital mutilation, discrimination, employment issues, forced evictions, access to health care, and toxic waste and its impact on the environment. Defenders are active in support of human rights as diverse as the rights to life, to food and water, to the highest attainable standard of health, to adequate housing, to a name and a nationality, to education, to freedom of movement and to non-discrimination. They sometimes address the rights of categories of persons, for example women’s rights, children’s rights, the rights of indigenous persons, the rights of refugees and internally displaced persons, and the rights of national, linguistic or sexual minorities.

Read the section "Prices in a Free Market." How does a
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

For free market economy, we can explain it in 3 expects. First, because households are the 'owners' of productive resources, firms have to pay them for their resources in the resource market, they can produce everything they want, the type and amount of products are determined by every individual firms, but they should produce the goods and service that other companies or household want, and can make the maximum profits, more profits, more motive for the producers. Prices are determined by householders.

While For the centrally planned economy, (it is also called command economy), all the resources (land, labour and capital) in the market are allocated by government, and it makes all the productive decisions, including price determination, so, the centrally planned economy is a government-controlled economic situation. First, a centrally planned economy may choose to produce whatever the government decides is most crucial to meeting society's needs, the government should provide services and goods that can cater to the people's need. Like in the 19th and 20th centuries period, in China, Mao Zedong realized that China is under a low level of heavy industry, so he decided to develop it first, then the light industry, this decision is sensible and realistic.
