The Iroquois Confederacy is similar to the U.S government in the sense that they each "elaborately ritualized systems for choosing leaders and making important decisions."

For the US, that "ritual" is our voting system. We poll the citizens of the country on important issues—at the local, state, and federal levels of government—as well as polling and running campaigns for a new president every four years.

The Iroquois ritual systems were often used in their own decisions, as well as joint negotiations with the colonial governments; however, the Iroquois Confederacy didn't have the same control that the US government has (i.e., a federal government overseeing the state governments that oversee local governments), but the same basic concept of having representatives from each of the five (and then six in 1772) was prevalent.

The Iroquois tactics most closely resembled our voting system, with decisions based on the consensus of the community. The US state houses have representatives, and the federal government then has state representatives. Decisions are made based on what we believe is good for the people and, though the process to getting to that decision may be different, that's how the Iroquois Confederacy operated.

<span>Catatonic Schizophrenia

</span><span>"Catatonic Schizophrenia: the key symptom here is both catatonia and the flat effect.  These people will remain motionless for hours and exhibit odd movements when they do move- like bobbing of the head.  Some exhibit waxy flexibility, or when they allow their body to be moved into any alternative shape and then will hold that new pose.  Others will repeat whatever is said to them which is called parrot behavior.  Catatonic Schizophrenia actually makes alot of sense considering the belief that schizophrenics cannot filter out information.  If every stimuli around you could not be blocked, the last thing you would want to do is move.  Perhaps standing still is a mechanism of reducing stimulation." -</span>http://www.appsychology.com

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The long- established dictatorial government machine was dismantled, and, at least in theory, Cubans were assured representation in the Cortes (the Spanish parliament) and some elective institutions at home. An emancipation law was enacted in 1880, and six years later slavery finally came to an end. Cuban society then began to evolve gradually toward a more egalitarian pattern of racial relations, which were markedly less tense than in the United States. At the same time, owing to a great influx of Spanish immigrants (about 709,000 arrived between 1868 and 1894), Cuba's population underwent a process of intensive Hispanization, particularly noticeable in the principal cities
