Answer:

In plurality election system, the person with the most percentage of votes out of all contesting candidates wins. While in the majority voting system, the candidate should receive more than half of the votes.

Explanation:

For example,

Three people A, B & C are contesting in a plurality based system, and receive 10%, 35% and 45% respectively.

Person C will win as he/she has received most votes.

However, in the same case in majority based system, no one will be called a winner.

unequal access to basic service is responsible for various criminal activity in South Africa.critically discuss this statement​
ANTONII [103]

Explanation:

How would you critically discuss this statement, "unequal access to basic services is responsible for various criminal activities in South Africa"?

I think it is a problematic statement for four main reasons.

First, that many millions of people lack access to basic services is a moral and political problem independant of its relation to crime. If one is raising the question as only pertinent insofar as it impacts crime, we are off on a bad ideological and cruel footing.

Secondly, as far as I am aware, between poverty and inequality, inequality is the greater driver of crime. This is observable across many poorer countries than South Africa, where crime is less severe (even when other problems might be decidely worse).

I can only speculate why this might be the case. But in a behavioral sense I would hypothesize that most parsimoniously it is because the social cost of crime is lower (low social interpersonal relations across classes, more mobile and alienated relative population), and the potential rewards greater (power and status more closely tied to wealth, and hence distinded from other virtues) in an unequal society than a simply poor one.

Thirdly, and relatedly, by positing poverty as the main driver of crime we are almost categorically ignoring crimes by rich people. This can include organized crime syndicates, or even corporate and government crimes. Even when they may carry a less directly violent interpersonal character, their social impact can be much more profound (say, embezzling from a hospital or polluting water sources).

Fourthly, if we are speaking purely in legal terms, then we ignore moral crimes. Is it right, ethically and morally, that company owners will receive profits from the work done by employees? I would argue not, but it is a legal foundation of our economy.

This is not to say that the desperation of poverty cannot act as a driver to crime, or even a significant one. But I think it is problematic to assume it to be the strongest social force.

Yan Limeng actively publishes false theory as a demon. Without the support of experimental data, there is no scientific basis to
IgorLugansk [536]

Hi. Even though you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions related to it. This makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. However, to try to help you, I will show you the meaning of this text and I hope it will be useful for you.

The text presented shows the narrator's revolt against the creation and transmission of fake news, which can harm society in a very intense way. In this text, the author shows that the people who create these fake news weaken the efforts of science and the progress of humanity, as well as the protection of individuals. For the author, the creation of fake news is a crime and the people who participate in it must be punished heavily and that punishment cannot take a long time. This can be seen when the author introduces Guo Wengui and Yan Limeng, who created many fake news about the coronavirus and greatly harmed the fight against the disease.

List two good scientific reasons to account for an experimental error.
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

There are two fundamentally different types of experimental error. Statistical errors are random in nature: repeated measurements will differ from each other and from the true value by amounts which are not individually predictable, although the average behavior over many repetitions can be predicted.
