The answer is not as threatening as killing a stranger. A person who kills a member of his or her family is usually judged by society to be not as threatening as killing a stranger.

EXPLANATION

If a person kills their own family, usually there is a motive behind it. The motives can vary, such as abuse, internal conflicts, marriage problems, etc. Therefore, society will view it not as threatening as killing a stranger, because they think that they will not get killed as they are not part of the murderer's family.

Meanwhile, if a person kills a stranger, society will think that they are at risk too. The killer can murder anyone, including them. Therefore, when a murderer is killing a stranger, it is seen as more threatening than killing his or her family.

The act of murder itself is killing another human with malice aforethought. The act of murder can be done to anyone, to the closest people in life, or even to strangers. Most people in society consider the act of murder as a serious crime. A person should be punished if they are doing such a horrible crime. The punishment varies, such as prison time or death punishment.

Most countries give a murderer a long-term prison sentence or the death penalty. The long-term prison sentence might last a lifetime. So, someone will spend their entire life in prison, so they will not hurt other people anymore.

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

It is clear that a person who kills a member of his or her family is considered by the law to be a murder. However, society views can differ.

When it comes to a murder, people tend to perceive a person who kills a stranger as much more dangerous than a person who kills a member of his/her family. This can occur because, in their minds, when someone kills a stranger, society tends to think that they are at risk too. On the other side, when a person kills someone of his/her family society feels safe thinking it couldn't have been them the ones who could have got killed.

What factors shaped government in Greece?

Vaselesa [24]

The Greek civilization was basically maritime, commercial and expansive. A historical reality in which the geographic component played a crucial role to the extent that the physical characteristics of the southern Balkan peninsula made it difficult for agricultural activity and internal communications, while its long coastal length favored its expansion towards overseas .

A phenomenon that would also have a substantial impact on the demographic pressure caused by the successive waves of peoples (among them the Achaeans, the Ionians and the Dorians) who invaded and occupied the Hellas throughout the III and II millennium BC.

The first Greeks were organized into family clans. Over time, the clans allied and formed communities, although they were separated from each other due to the mountainous relief of the region. This favored their becoming independent territories with their own government and army. In ancient Greek those populations were called polis. Despite sharing essentially the same geographical space, language and culture, the political organization of the polis was very diverse, including a wide range of systems of government, ranging from tyranny to democracy. The polis were the true political unit, with its institutions, customs and laws.

It seems that at first many Greek city-states were minor kingdoms; many times there was a municipal official who performed the king's duties. Later, most of these city-states had already become aristocratic oligarchies. It is not known how this change happened.

Athens fell under a tyranny in the second half of the sixth century BC. When this tyranny ended, the Athenians founded the first democracy in the world. An assembly of citizens for the discussion of municipal policy and all citizens were allowed to attend. By establishing democracy, the assembly became the mechanism of government; all citizens then had equal rights in the assembly.

Why did nixon resign from office what were the circumstances?

balandron [24]

President Nixon...the watergate scandal.

Pres. Nixon's election committee broke into the DNC (<span>Democratic National Committee's) headquarters attempting to wire-tap phones and steal classified documents, which would give his party (republican) a HUGE advantage in the election. However, this didn't last too long because their plans were discovered and Pres. Nixon decided to pay the thieves large sums of money to keep their mouths quiet. (This was called the Watergate Scandal because they broke into the Watergate Hotel, Washington D.C..

The media laid a massive load of pressure on him, and congress told him he would have to resign, or be impeached.

Nixon didn't want to be known as the first president to be kicked out, so he resigned to be remembered as the first president to resign from his current state in office. </span>
