What are the different ways in which power sharing among different communities is organised today
Lelu [443]
In democracies power is divided into 3 branches:
Legislature: responsible for creation of laws, and adjusting old ones to the changing situation.
Executive: has the authority <span>for the daily administration of the state. </span>
Judiciary: courts, tribunals, which make sure that law and constitution are being obeyed. 

Power is also shared vertically (central-local).
In some countries power is centralised, current government manages what is going on in the country on all levels, and prepares plans and grants funds even for local investments.
On the other hand there are countries (like USA) where local authorities, in addition to the management of funds, are responsible even for legislature and have their own laws.
In some countries part of the local budget is reserved for direct vote of the citizens. They decide if they want a new swimming pool, liberary, improvement of roads and so on. Internet and qulaified electronic signature made this kind of vote possible.

Power can also be shared between different nations within one country (like in Belgium, or in Bosnia, where there are 3 officials for most offices. They have 3 prime ministers Serbian, Croatian and Boszniak). It makes sure that the minorities will also have a say in the process of law creation.

Bonnie and shawanna consider themselves friends because they work in the same office and occasionally go for drinks together aft
charle [14.2K]

Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics describes 3 kinds of friendships: of utility, of pleasure and of the good. He talks about friendship of utility meaning the one that exists between two people that are usefull to each other. For instances you might be friendly with you neighbour just because he takes care of you little pet whenever you want to go out a week-end plan.

Friendship of pleasure is between people who enjoy their mutual company. That would be if you have a close mate with wich you enjoy jogging or having a casual dinner once a week, the one you are common interest with.

Friendship of the good is the one thats based on mutual respect and admiration, they take longer to build but are the ones that are longlasting.

The first two tipes of friendship are easily brokesn, especially when the goal is achieved, or the routine becames boring and you need some fresh air. I would say that Bonnie and Shawanna are friends of utility. As the stament says they go out for drinks after work because is usefull for each other. But that doesn´t mean that after some time together and long and deep conversation they couldn´t find some interest in common and share another kind of frinedship.
