1 answer:

6 0

Lyndon Johnson saw his Great Society as a plan to alleviate the poor of the country from the cycle of poverty through reforms that encouraged public education. Most of the Great Society programs focused on education and job training. Jonson created the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to help poor towns and improve living conditions, these programs also helped create jobs. Johnson also created "Project Head Start" which was a antipoverty program that sought to improve the performance of the underprivileged in school by creating pre-school programs for children whose parents could not afford local pre-schooling. Johnson also created Medicaid which was a governmental financial assistance program for adults with children with physical or mental handicaps.
Basically he was seriously focused on improving the lives of the poor, to lift them out of poverty ultimately making a "Great Society" where there were no impoverished people, or to a least limit that number to a small amount. He Aimed most of his reforms at this goal...Hoped this helped...

Who makes the rule in anarchy? What is an example? And how do the people react?

Likurg_2 [28]

Absolute chaos is what we would define as anarchy; it is essentially the reverse of order. What makes an anarchy worse would be the shocking lack of a robust legal system because there can be no laws in a society built on complete chaos, but if you're talking about a government based on anarchy, it would be a system where there is no state identity and no real central government. Somalia, to some extent, serves as the most prevalent illustration of why a government founded on anarchy is a horrible concept. Although there is a central government, its power over its territory varies. Certain sections are under the influence of the militant group Al Shabab, and the Somaliland region is attempting to declare its independence from the federal government. The country is rife with a milder but no less deadly type of anarchy due to the absence of a strong central leadership.

Anarchic societies where every individual is equally empowered are unsustainable. The individuals quickly cluster into tribal units, and without some overriding authority, it’s impossible to stop that from happening. The tribal units (or gangs, if you prefer) are run by warlords who keep each other in check until one of them gains a decisive advantage over the others, and then you’ve got the beginnings of a state.

This drama has played out countless times in the course of human history, and is still playing out in the criminal underworld to the extent that it can. That extent is limited by the fact that now there is an overriding authority with enforceable power, the legitimate state.

Thank you,
