Which of the following is a defining feature of nondemocratic regimes? a. The public has a very passive role in selecting leader
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

b. Power is centralized around one leader-the dictator

Explanation:

The nondemocratic regimes are usually led by one very powerful figure, a dictator. The dictator usually has all the power in the country, and there is no authority in the country that can limit him/her in his/hers actions. This often leads to a very unjust system in which the dictator does whatever he/she wants, while no one else has any say in it. The freedom of speech is lacking, the people that oppose the dictator end up in prisons or are murdered, the media is totally controlled, and the society is usually isolated from the rest of the world.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Is interfering with his ability to function effectively.

Explanation:

Mental health sometimes can be subjected to subjectivity, however, there are some things in which all mental health professionals agree and it is that, <u>we can say that a behavior is actually abnormal once it starts interfering with the individual ability to function effectively</u> and starts t<u>aking a toll in his social and working relations.</u>

In this case, the behavior that Josh is having is finally interfering in his job because he kept being late for his job (because of his need to retrace his steps) and it also made him unable to complete his projects on time.

Women's rights have historically been restricted by the Supreme Court's use of which of the following?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Women's rights have historically been restricted by the Supreme Court using the reasonableness standard.

Explanation:

The reasonableness standard is used in US courts to understand whether a plaintiff or defendant acted reasonably in a harassment situation, for example, and it has been used in cases against police where the plaintiff claims excessive violence was used. There is also the "reasonable woman standard" that has been used in US Supreme Court Cases like Harris vs. Forklift Systems 510 US 17 (1993).  The Supreme Court sided in favor of Harris who had to appeal two lower court decisions that found that Harris was not sufficiently psychologically impacted for the case to constitute harassment.  The reasonableness standard can be seen as limiting because it imposes the standards of what men find reasonable in a sexual situation and coworker relationship at the expense of what women may find uncomfortable or inappropriate.
