1. Why did political parties and special interest groups form? What roles do they play in shaping public policy?

1 answer:

7 0

1.) They were formed mainly to group like-ideas together for those who shared the same opinions. They seeked to influence elections, government officials, and public policy choices. Interest groups are able to control public policy by advocating what they have in mind.

2.) The media can influence the decisions of citizens and government officials by advertising subliminal messages, showing why one should support whatever they are seeking.

3.) Media influences people's views on political ideas and events by putting thoughts into their heads. The whole idea is to make one believe what they're saying is right. The media has changed overtime by being able to demonstrate the good in events. If someone is running for the politic, they can easily show you the good they have done.

4.) They could influence the public policy by making their own groups or have speeches in certain locations.

5.) A social issue that I know of in todays society is violence in schools. Some changes that I would like to start seeing are more after school activities that can help the kids come together. In order to bring about the change, I would do my best to come up with different clubs and throughout the school day, promote those groups and see if kids are interested. I would talk with the principal to see if I could make flyers, an even try to announce them over the intercom during school hours.

6.) If you participate in your community, you can make friends and have the opportunity to help others. Voting is important because it's not only part of the Democratic process, we contribute to the numbers in polls as well. Since everything is determined by numbers.

What causes shortage of water? 1.seasonal or annual precipitation 2.over-exploitation of the sources of water

Tpy6a [65]

Explanation:

Water scarcity

Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region.

It already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year.

More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.

Water scarcity involves water stress, water shortage or deficits, and water crisis.

While the concept of water stress is relatively new, it is the difficulty of obtaining sources of fresh water for use during a period of time and may result in further depletion and deterioration of available water resources.Water shortages may be caused by climate change, such as altered weather patterns including droughts or floods, increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of water.

A water crisis is a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand.

Water scarcity is being driven by two converging phenomena: growing freshwater use and depletion of usable freshwater resources.

Water scarcity can be a result of two mechanisms: physical (absolute) water scarcity and economic water scarcity, where physical water scarcity is a result of inadequate natural water resources to supply a region's demand, and economic water scarcity is a result of poor management of the sufficient available water resources.

According to the United Nations Development Programme, the latter is found more often to be the cause of countries or regions experiencing water scarcity, as most countries or regions have enough water to meet household, industrial, agricultural, and environmental needs, but lack the means to provide it in an accessible manner.

The reduction of water scarcity is a goal of many countries and governments.

The UN recognizes the importance of reducing the number of people without sustainable access to clean water and sanitation.

The Millennium Development Goals within the United Nations Millennium Declaration state that by 2015 they resolve to "halve the proportion of people who are unable to reach or to afford safe drinking water."

vagabundo [1.1K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not include options, we can answer the following.

A video journalist's job consists of operating the camera, reporting the story, and often editing the work, whereas these three tasks were traditionally performed by three people. Video journalism is an example of job enrichment and job enlargement.

When we talk about job enrichment, this means that the job can be added with different dimensions not considered before. When this happens, the individual can show more enthusiasm and be more motivated for the new responsibilities added to its original job. When you add new dimensions to a job and explain employees the reasons for this and the benefits accompanied with these new responsibilities, you are motivating the employee to work better, harder, and to be more productive.
