Social Studies
1 answer:
xxMikexx [17]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • Republics and democracies both provide a political system in which citizens are represented by elected officials who are sworn to protect their interests.
  • In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected.
  • In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen the people and must comply with a constitution that specifically protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.
  • The United States, while basically a republic, is best described as a “representative democracy.”

Write a letter to the district commissioner explaining how his attitude toward the ibo people is based on cultural misunderstand
KIM [24]

Answer:

Dear district commissioner,

I am writing this letter with the aim of alerting you to cultural errors in relation to the Ibo people, who may place you with an ignorant person, without culture and intolerant of people of different ethnicities. As I know that these adjectives do not suit you, I want to share some things that I know about the Ibo people.

You say that the Ibo people came together to harass other people, to burn people's houses and their place of worship. However, there are several historical documents that state that the Igbo people are usually peaceful and tolerant, which allows us to think that they were provoked before causing any harm to society.

Another thing I would like to comment on is that you say that you have already spent a lot of time in Africa and that you have met many different ethnic groups. This gave him enough experience to know that a district commissioner should never attend to unworthy details like cutting a hanger from the tree. However, you must know that each African ethnic group has different customs, cultures and concepts, therefore, not everything you learned from an ethnic group applies to how you should act with the Ibo people.

I suppose, then, that you should spend more time with representatives of the Ibo people, to learn about their culture and customs and not make any mistakes.
