morpeh [17]

Answer:

To create fear among people and create obedient subjects who will blindly follow the regime

Explanation:

Secret police organizations are characteristic of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes.

(An example being the Gestapo) In certain dictatorships, you see secret police maintaining the state by identifying threats to the state and getting rid of them. They're "secret" because they often carry out illegal tasks like assassination, exile, or torture.Secret police is one of the most important levers of totalitarian regimes. The basic task of the secret police is to protect the absolutist rule of the dictator, and it does so in a variety of violent ways.

If you could change one part of the story "Guinto sa Makiling", what would it be and why? What
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

I would make sure that Sanang didn't need to disappear from the real world to live with her great love. Although this adds romance and intensity to the story, I find it a little sad to have to leave the family, in the name of love, since there must also be love in the family.

Instead, I would allow Doro's aunt to visit both worlds and her family would go with her to this other universe.

Explanation:

"Guinto sa Makiling" is a Filipino novel that tells the story of Sanang who has to go through extremely difficult challenges to prove her love for her boyfriend Edong, so that both can live together in Shangri-la, united by the love that surrounds them .

Although little known, the novel is one of the most important works of the Philippines, portraying cultural and religious traits with great mastery.

Why did the public demand that architects leave the support structures of the Washington Bridge open?
Scrat [10]
The public demanded that architects leave the support structures of the Washington Bridge open because it has aesthetic value. The exposed steel tower that has a criss-crossed bracing design is the most identifiable characteristics of the bridge.

The Washington Bridge is very beautiful to look at. Because of the cables and steel beams, the bridge gleams like a reversed arch with the sky as the background.
