Answer:
Can you name the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century? No, it wasn’t Hitler or Stalin. It was Mao Zedong.
According to the authoritative “Black Book of Communism,” an estimated 65 million Chinese died as a result of Mao’s repeated, merciless attempts to create a new “socialist” China. Anyone who got in his way was done away with -- by execution, imprisonment or forced famine.
For Mao, the No. 1 enemy was the intellectual. The so-called Great Helmsman reveled in his blood-letting, boasting, “What’s so unusual about Emperor Shih Huang of the China Dynasty? He had buried alive 460 scholars only, but we have buried alive 46,000 scholars.” Mao was referring to a major “accomplishment” of the Great Cultural Revolution, which from 1966-1976 transformed China into a great House of Fear.
Abuse of power or abuse of authority, in the form of "malfeasance in office" or "official misconduct", is the commission of an unlawful act, done in an official capacity, which affects the performance of official duties. Power kills, absolute Power kills absolutely. This new Power Principle is the message emerging from my previous work on the causes of war1 and this book on genocide and government mass murder--what I call democide--in this century. The more power a government has, the more it can act arbitrarily according to the whims and desires of the elite, the more it will make war on others and murder its foreign and domestic subjects. The more constrained the power of governments, the more it is diffused, checked and balanced, the less it will aggress on others and commit democide. At the extremes of Power2, totalitarian communist governments slaughter their people by the tens of millions, while many democracies can barely bring themselves to execute even serial murderers.
Answer:
B. Conflict Perspective
Explanation:
The conflict perspective in sociology sees society as the result of competing groups of people that struggle for limited resources. Karl Marx is considered the founder of this perspective.
Under a conflict perspective, the fact that white criminals spend less time in jail than minority criminals would mean that white people are winning the struggle for limited resources. They are using their power to opress minorities with several measures including racial injustice in the form of longer average jail sentences.

Answer: C. This is not plagiarism
Explanation: Plagiarism is the use of someone elses words or ideas as though they were your own.
Going through the student's write up, there was neither a word for word nor a paraphrasing plagiarism and at a point where he or she borrowed few words from the original content, the student enclosed them in a quotation mark so we can differenciate borrowed words from his or her own words. But the student made a mistake in the citation part, by wrongly citing a different author.
So that is not Plagiarism but if it were an assignment, a mark will be deducted for the mistake.
