History

Answer:

The answers are below.

Explanation:

1. Tocqueville believes that individualism comprises two fundamental aspects: first, a denunciation of the despotic dangers that threaten democratic societies when their members, dominated by the individualist tendency, withdraw to the private sphere and disregard responsibilities that correspond to them, as citizens; and, secondly, a proposal to overcome, in a humanistic key, the perspective that conceives of individualism as an anthroponomic figure characteristic of liberal democracy.

2. The main problem that Tocqueville arises throughout Democracy in America is that of the conformation of the democraticus furnace and hence its interest in thoroughly analyzing the nature, consequences, inconveniences and possible remedies to such transformation.

3. The example of American society - Tocqueville maintains - teaches us to distinguish between this erroneous, grossly utilitarian and individualistic view of one's own interest, and an enlightened and "well understood" vision of it. The first one reduces the individual interest to the merely economic, conceives it naively as if it were something natural and previously constituted to the social relationship, tends to confuse it with selfishness and, finally, believes illusory that the general interest is nothing more than sum of private interests. The second, on the contrary, defines the particular interest as a social construction and insists, from there, on the need to make individuals understand that they are not self-sufficient and that their own interest is closely linked to the fair construction of a common interest.

4. In the way that Tocqueville considered equality as a great political and social idea of ​​his time, the author argued that the United States was the most advanced example of equality in action.

Why were many countries of Europe in danger of succumbing to communism following World War II?<br>​
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

After the fall of the Nazi Regime, the nations liberated by the USSR after the war had not been liberated at all but integrated as satellite countries (puppet-states) for the USSR called the Eastern Bloc. Communism was on the rise after the end of fascism and Stalin wanted to convert as many countries to communists as possible. The Warsaw Pact was also established to rival that of NATO and further integrate Eastern Europe into Communism. The Cold War had been a game of deception and bluffing so if the democratic side failed to keep up with Communists there would be Europeans leaning to be communist.

Stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction was a major goal of _____.
katen-ka-za [31]
A. The war in Iraq

The war in Afghanistan, begun in 2001, was aimed against the al-Qaeda terror group that was based in Afghanistan and had perpetrated the 9-11 attacks against the United States.  It also aimed to removed the Taliban government from power in Afghanistan, a government which had harbored al-Qaeda and was itself seen as an illegitimate power.

The war in Iraq was pursued beginning in 2003 as a preemptive strike against the regime of Saddam Hussein and the perception that he had stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction that could be used for terroristic purposes.  That perception did not turn out to be a full reality, but the war pursued regime change in Iraq nonetheless.
