Cutting themselves as a part of a rutual was not a use
A "C. Representative democracy" would best describe the United States government, since representatives from each state are elected by the citizens to made decisions on their behalf.
If the plague, also referred to as ''black death'', didn't occurred in Europe, the continent would have had a much larger population for starters. Because of the plague and the huge loss of population, Europe faced huge problems from social, economic, and military perspective, but if it hadn't occurred, Europe would have been much stronger and the progress of the continent would have been evident and bigger earlier in time. Considering the European colonialism, it was also going to have a huge global effect because there was going to be a much larger number of people migrating into the European colonies later on.
Joseph Touma is one of the founders of the organization <em>Bridge the Divide</em>. This organization attempts to foster discussions between young Republicans and young Democrats. The founders believe that the political environment of the United States is too divided, and that by fostering these discussions, they might be able to help diminish such divisions. He argues that they want a "trickle-up effect," which means that they hope that such a change will first happen among citizens and individuals, and that the movement will eventually reach politicians at higher levels.
I believe that <em>Bridge the Divide</em> will be successful in achieving this goal. I think that most politicians act in a way that they believe is desired by their constituents. If politicians encourage division between political parties, it is often because citizens also have this polarized view. If citizens demand more moderation and dialogue, then politicians would most likely act in this way in order to gain more votes.
