How does previous political experience and perceived perception by American voters influence elections?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

When asked which statement comes closer to their own views, most Americans (58%) say that “voting gives people like me some say about how government runs things,” while fewer (39%) say “voting by people like me doesn’t really affect how government runs things.”

The public is somewhat more skeptical when it comes to the ability of ordinary citizens to influence the government in Washington. Half (50%) say ordinary citizens can do a lot to influence the government in Washington, if they are willing to make the effort, while about as many (47%) say there’s not much ordinary citizens can do to influence the government.

Can ordinary people have an impact?

Majorities of Democrats and Democratic leaners as well as of Republicans and Republican leaners say that voting gives people some say in government, though this view is somewhat more widely held among Democrats (63%) than Republicans (56%).Those with more education are more likely to say voting gives them a voice in government

Democrats are similarly more likely than Republicans to say ordinary citizens can influence the government in Washington: 55% of Democrats say ordinary citizens can make an impact, while 42% say there is not much ordinary people can do. About as many Republicans and leaners say ordinary citizens can influence the government in Washington (47%) as say there’s not much ordinary citizens can do (51%).

Among the 13% of the public that does not identify or lean toward either party – a group that is far less likely to be registered to vote – just 44% say voting gives people some say in how government runs things, while 49% say it doesn’t really affect how government runs things.

Seven-in-ten of those with a post-graduate degree (70%) and 65% of those with a college degree say voting gives people some say in government; somewhat smaller shares of those with only some college experience (58%) or those with no more than a high school diploma (51%) say the same.

Unlike views on voting, there are no educational differences in the shares saying ordinary people can influence government if they make the effort.Scale of political efficacy

Blacks (58%) and Hispanics (57%) are more likely than whites (47%) to say that ordinary citizens can influence the government in Washington, if they’re willing to make the effort. There are no racial differences in views of the impact of voting.

These two measures of opinion on the impact of voting and on ordinary citizens’ ability to influence the government in Washington can be combined to create a scale of political efficacy. Those who rank “high” on the scale say both that voting gives people some say in how government runs things and that ordinary citizens can do a lot to influence the government in Washington, if they are willing to make the effort. “Medium” political efficacy includes those who hold only one of the two views, while “low” political efficacy describes those who do not hold either view.

Overall, 39% of the public falls into the high political efficacy category, while 33% have medium political efficacy and 28% have low political efficacy.

Political efficacy is higher among those with more education. For example, 47% of those with a post-graduate degree rank high on the scale of political efficacy, compared with 33% of those with no more than a high school diploma.

Mr. Able is diagnosed with illness anxiety disorder, while Mr. Baker is diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder. How will their
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

c. Mr. Able will fear he has an undetected fatal illness; Mr. Baker will have many vague physical complaints.

Explanation:

Somatic symptom disorder in most cases is a disorder that is involving extreme and long-lasting focus on multiple physical symptoms for which no medical cause is evident.

People who have somatic disorder are not always concerned whether the physical symptom has a medical cause or not, what majorly happens to them is that the psychological factors compound the severity and impairment associated with the physical symptoms.

Illness Anxiety Disorder is a type of disorder which involves severe anxiety over the belief of one having a disease process without any evident physical cause.

The major difference between the two ( somatic disorder and illness anxiety disorder) is that If one or more physical symptoms are severe and associated with anxiety, then the diagnosis is somatic symptom disorder; in illness anxiety disorder the concern is majorly with the idea of being sick instead of the physical symptom itself.

Why is deposition as the opposite of erosion? Give examples of these processes. ​
klio [65]

<u>Answer:</u>

Deposition is a "conservative" while erosion is a "destructive" mechanism.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Deposition is when the surface is exposed to sediments, dirt, or rocks. It's the inverse of erosion. Deposition is a positive method since it builds or produces surface features. As over time wind, water and other forces will wear away sediments, so must sediments be accumulated as well. The process through which water vapor transforms spontaneously to ice in sub-freezing air, without first becoming a liquid is one of the instance of deposition.

In earth science, erosion is the activity of surface mechanisms that detach soil, rock, or soluble material from one place on the crust of the Earth, and then transferred it to another. For an instance wind carries away small pieces of rock from a mountain side.
