The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Sociology can help differentiate between authentic and fake news in the following way.

Sociology studies society and its members in a scientific way. There is a lot of research on this subject. So sociological studies can reveal the motives of groups and members of society when they provide news that is distorted or have a particular agenda, what today is referred to as fake news.

For instance, if an extremist or supremacist group publishes hate messages or racial messages in its web site or social media page in order to support the interest of this group or a politician that supports this group, but it is not supported with solid arguments or facts, then it is fake news.

As the old quote says, a lie repeated two or three times without correction, can become a truth.

When sociology studies these groups, it can reveal its intention, background, style, and purposes, so people can really identify its true nature.

If the Soviets had been true to Karl Marx’s theory of communism, what would they have done?Why did hardline communist leaders re

Dafna1 [17]

The Soviets were proclaiming themselves as communist, though the reality was not as the communism truly says a state should be run. If the Soviets practiced the textbook communism, then everyone in the society would have been equal. Everyone was going to earn the same amount of money and get the same things necessary for life without any problem. The economy would have been self-sustaining and that was going to be supported by excellent planning. There were not going to be social classes, but everyone would have been in the same class. The Soviets did pretty much everything wrong with those ideas, and in all fairness the human nature just doesn't allow for something like that to exist.

Mikhail Gorbachev was hated by the hardline communist. The main reason for that was that he was trying to make the country slightly more liberal, more open to the world and to modernization. That was seen as treason of the communist ideology by the hardline communist so they were against all of that.

Why do you think Columbus saw only the coastal area of Mesoamerica? Please help. Thanks.

He didnt have the tools, supplies, or time to go farther inland. Plus natives were a huge concern, it was a safer decision for him to stay on the coast so he could retreat to his ship if he needed to.

In what way did education play a crucial role in the emergence of the middle class?

KatRina [158]

The middle class that emerged consisted of a group of people that included managers, salesmen, engineers, doctors, accountants and other salaried professionals who worked for a living but were better educated than the poor working-class.

The children of those middle-class people did not have to find work to support their families and this created opportunities for education and advancement. This pushed the government to support the growth of higher education. All of this made the middle class remain the solid class until today because people were educating themselves, it also made possible for many people to rise socially, because there were many opportunities available for middle-class children.
