Let's match it with descriptions first, terms as answers:

  1. a way of life where a person withdraws from society to devote self to prayer and solitude = MONASTICISM
  2. a philosophy that doubts the attitude, beliefs, or character of others = CYNICISM
  3. a philosophy that believes true knowledge is not possible = SKEPTICISM
  4. a religious system regarded as misguided or unorthodox = CULT
  5. an ideal or perfect place where everyone lives in harmony = UTOPIA
  6. a philosophy that attempts to combine different systems of beliefs or practices = SYNCRETISM

Allow me to say a word in defense of the originators of skepticism in the world of ancient Greek philosophy.  The term "skeptic" comes from the Greek verb σκέπτεσθαι (<em>skeptesthai</em>), which means "to search out, consider, inquire."  So, yes, Skeptics (as a school of philosophy) said that arriving at absolute, final knowledge was not possible.  But that didn't mean they didn't seek after truth as best as humanly possible.  Famous among the Skeptics was Sextus Empiricus, who said, "Skeptics keep on searching, but we end by ceasing to dogmatize."  In other words, they don't boast with a religious sort of certainty that THIS particular point is truth.  Rather, they keep searching and inquiring always, continuing to ask questions and search for additional possibilities.

Write a paragraph stating if you believe the Electoral College should be kept, abolished, or reformed in some way. WILL MARK BRA
igor_vitrenko [27]
The future of the Electoral College is being debated following the 2000 and 2016 presidential elections when the winner of the popular vote lost the electoral college vote and thus the election.

Advocates of the institution point to its functionality, endurance, and tradition as valuable features. The Electoral College is also viewed as a critical part of the checks and balances fundamental to the American political system.

The following five reasons to keep the Electoral College are used by its defenders.

Maintain American Federalism
A key argument to keep the Electoral College is that the process is integral to America’s federalist philosophy. Federalism involves diffusion of powers among federal, state, and local governments rather than a strong central government. The Electoral College is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution but states are allowed to determine how electors are selected. Small states and large states have their say in each presidential election based on each state’s popular vote.
