  The direct democracy or pure democracy it´s a form of democracy in which the people directly decides on policy initiatives, it differs from the representative democracy; the one that it´s currently established in the majority of the countries; because in that the people choose the representantives and they are those who decide the policies to carry on. In the representative democracy the people do not govern, it´s a common mistake to mix both concepts.

  Two different forms of direct democracy are participatory democracy and deliberative democracy. The deliberative democracy is a form in which the deliberation it´s a central matter to the decisions and it is seen as an amalgalm of the direct and the representative democracies. It holds that for a democratic decision to be legitimate, it must be preceded by an authentic deliberation not a mere voting.

  The participatory democracy is one that emphasizes the broad participation of everybody but it demands to the citizens to be more involved in the political participation.

  I think that a group taking a vote on something is an example of a participatory democracy because everyone have the same power to create consensus and, at last it would win the iniciative that obtain more votes. If the example was a representative democracy then the group would have to vote for only one person to make a decision and then the group will follow the "leader" choice althought it goes against the majority of what the group wants.

I hope the answer to be useful for you. Regards.

Democracy is the "rule of the people" (from Greek: demos: people, ;Kratos: rule): so the group deciding all together (rather than one of them) is an example of democracy.

It's direct because everyone votes directly on something, rather than represented by someone else.

Answer:

4. Solar energy makes food grow. By eating the food we can create a store of chemical energy inside us. We can use this stored energy to do work like wind an alarm clock. The clock now has potential energy.

5. You pedaling the bike is transforming chemical energy, supplied by the breakdown of the food you eat, into mechanical energy to turn the pedals. The chemical energy is potential and the mechanical energy is kinetic

6. As a pendulum swings, its potential energy converts to kinetic and back to potential. Recall the concept of conservation of energy—that energy may change its form, but have no net change to the amount of energy.

7.   Renewable resources def: ways to generate energy from (theoretically) unlimited natural resources. These resources are either available with no time limit or replenish more quickly than the rate at which they are consumed

Examples of Renewable resources  

• Solar energy.

• Wind energy.

• Geothermal energy.

• Hydropower.

• Bioenergy.

Nonrenewable resources def: A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a quick enough pace to keep up with consumption. An example is carbon-based fossil fuel. The original organic matter, with the aid of heat and pressure, becomes a fuel such as oil or gas

A surfer is about to attempt to ride the biggest wave she has ever seen. Her heart is pounding with fear, and she is not sure if
erastova [34]

Answer:

The surfer wants to attempt to ride the biggest wave, but she is scared and she is not sure if she can make it out successfully but she decides to ride the wave anyway. Her behavior can be explained through the theories of motivation and emotion below:

a. Achievement motive

This is the impulse in humans to face challenges, overcome and master it in order to reach the pinnacle of excellence.

The surfer has this impulse and is seeking to overcome the wave and master it.

b. Arousal theory

This theory of motivation explains that people will undertake certain actions to sustain a high level of physiological arousal.

The surfer has a high level of arousal which motivates her to seek out the dangerous but stimulating activity of riding the biggest wave she has ever seen.

c. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory that is based on motivation and which has five tiers containing the model of human needs.

The hierarchy contains the needs from the least to the greatest and they include:

a. Physiological needs

b. Safety needs

c. Love and belonging.

d. Esteem

e. Self-actualization.

The surfer is at the highest level of human need which is self-actualization and that is why she is ready to take on the dangerous wave.

d. Cannon-Bard thalamic theory

This theory is based on emotion and it states that we feel different emotions and physiological reactions in bodies simultaneously.

The surfer is feeling the different emotions in her body such as fear, doubt, and her decision to undertake the dangerous mission.

e. Opponent-process theory

This theory states that every process has either an unpleasant or pleasant balance and is followed by a secondary process that sets in after the primary process is silenced. As exposure increases, the primary process becomes weaker and the opponent-process becomes stronger.

The surfer is showing a higher level of fear because it is her first time and would likely experience less pleasure when she completes the task but the more she performs the task, the pleasure increases, and the fear reduces.
