This is an interesting question, but I would say that there might not be a definite answer, and instead it depends on the particular people (both the person who needs help and the person giving help).
However, some options seem worse than others:
an ex-romantic partner is probably not the best, as they would not necessarily want to help and the person in need might not have a neutral or positive attitude towards them.
As far as the others are concerned : a religious counselor (of which religion? do they have the relevant experience and training?), older and experienced teen (depends on that person, they might be helpul) and a trusted friend, the last might be the best option.
Not mentioned here, but the best option is general would be a psychologist or therapist.
Answer:
The American Revolution in effect created multiple civil wars. Many of the resentments and antagonisms that fed these conflicts predated the Revolution, and the outbreak of war acted as the catalyst they needed to burst forth. In particular, the middle colonies of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania had deeply divided populations. Loyalty to Great Britain came in many forms, from wealthy elites who enjoyed the prewar status quo to runaway slaves who desired the freedom that the British offered.
Because it plays an important role for our country. It holds no legal authority.
What is the moral of the passage? It is important to think clearly in dangerous situations. Leopards are afraid to come near fire. Older people are wiser than young people
Alexis de Tocqueville was a French diplomat and political philosopher, best known for his work <em>Democracy in America</em>. The work was written after Tocqueville’s travels in America, and it presents a valuable study on the conditions of American society in the early 19th century. Some of the characteristics that Tocqueville found in American government that made it different from other foreign governments were:
- A Puritan founding of the government. This contributed to several characteristics, such as valuing equality, a union of political liberty and religion and the appreciation of sovereignty.
- The abolition of primogeniture (the practice of the firstborn son to inherit a father’s state, as opposed to daughters, illegitimate children, younger sons, etc.). This meant that equality was more predominant, women had better opportunities to acquire money and a family’s wealth changed hands more often.
- The collapse of the aristocracy, and the dominance of the commons in political life.
- The extent of democracy, which could lead to a “tyranny of the majority” (the majority becoming despotic and oppressing minorities).
- A blinding belief in the equality of men, which Tocqueville believed could become dangerous.
