Describe the process purpose and problem with gerrymandering

Social Studies
1 answer:
lidiya [134]4 years ago
6 0

Two principal tactics are used in gerrymandering: "cracking" (i.e. diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across many districts) and "packing" (concentrating the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts).[3] The third tactic, shown in the top-left diagram in the diagrams to the right, is that of homogenization of all districts.

The purpose is to help or hinder a particular demographic, such as a political, ethnic, racial, linguistic, religious, or class group, such as in U.S. federal voting district boundaries that produce a majority of constituents representative of African-American or other racial minorities, known as "majority-minority districts"

The problem is that it causes increased incumbent advantage and campaign costs , less descriptive representation , or using prisoners as voter count.

Profundizar en nuestras emociones y en el origen de nuestros sentimientos es de gran
dybincka [34]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

¿Cómo se vuelve normal la violencia?

Muchas veces, la violencia se asume como una forma “normal” de relacionarse con la familia, las amistades o la pareja. Esto expresa que consideramos normal que ciertas personas puedan establecer relaciones de subordinación. Quizá cuando analizamos la historia de Susana, pudimos haber reconocido fácilmente que su reacción con su hermano menor fue violenta… ¡Y de hecho lo fue; pero también la del papá! Esta expresa una relación de poder vertical e intransigente, intransigente, ya que ni siquiera le da a su hija Susana la posibilidad de pensar en alternativas de solución: ¿ir con su hermano?, ¿dejar al hermano con la abuela? En todo caso, ¿por qué no dejarle las indicaciones a Gustavo, su hermano mayor, para que lo cuide? ¿No sería lo mejor? Lamentablemente, por los estilos de crianza, el respeto o el cariño que sentimos hacia ciertas personas, muchas veces podemos ser capaces de tolerar situaciones de maltrato físico o psicológico. Y estas mismas razones impiden que reconozcamos nuestras emociones adecuadamente; peor aún, nos llevan a que carguemos con sentimientos negativos y que pensemos que no son tan malos o que creamos que nos merecemos dicho trato. Profundizar en nuestras emociones y en el origen de nuestros sentimientos es de gran ayuda para evitar que consideremos “normal” aquello que no lo es. Por ello, es importante cuestionar este tipo de relaciones y tomar la iniciativa para proponer alternativas de solución. Mientras haya mayor diálogo, habrá mayores alternativas de solución y menos violencia.

Con tus palabras, explica: “Profundizar en nuestras emociones y en el origen de nuestros sentimientos es de gran ayuda para evitar que consideremos ‘normal’ aquello que no lo es”.

Answer:

En todo tipo de relaciones humanas, la violencia puede “normalizarse” a tal punto de que quienes la padecen no logran percibir que están siendo violentados. Tanto el maltrato físico como psicológico puede ser difícil de reconocer cuando existen sentimientos de amor y respeto, a pesar de la violencia ejercida.  

Explanation:

Lo importante para poder reconocer la violencia como algo que debiera ser considerado normal, es reconocer nuestros sentimientos y darles la validez que merecen. Y si encontramos que nos sentimos sujetos a una relación violenta, debemos tener la valentía de cuestionar ese tipo de vínculos y buscar alternativas de de resolución a través del diálogo.

Ano Ang best line na sinabi ni donya leonora sa ibong adarna
swat32
  • <u> Translated from Filipino language:</u>

"What is the best line that the world leonora told the adarna bird."

Answer:

"Adarna bird" is a mythical creature which is a part of a very famous Filipino poem and it is considered to be very imaginative sort of thing or we term it as a jinni from the Aladdin( cartoon). As, it is no where to be found and then a king orders his three sons to carry on the search for the bird as who ever finds it first will then be named as his successor. And that is how the whole story moves in to a morale of having the idea of not disbelieving in the fact that not every beautiful and rare being or element can bring goodness with it but it all depends upon us that how we treat beings and more over things.
