Answer:

A true democracy is where every citizen would vote directly on

all matters concerning them. Not very practical when population is

in the millions. So when the masses elect somebody to make

decisions for them, it is called a representative democracy.

A democracy is a government in which political power—influence over institutions, leaders, and policies—rests in the hands of the people. In a representative democracy, however, the citizens do not govern directly. Instead, they elect representatives to make decisions and pass laws on behalf of all the people.

The question asks, "What is YOUR philosophy?"  I can't really tell you what YOU should think ... but I can present for you the ideas of a couple different political philosophers who took opposing stands on the issue.

Thomas Hobbes and John Locke were both English philosophers who wrote during the 17th century.  

Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan </em>in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast.  Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).    The people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  That was Hobbes' view.

John Locke famously published <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government </em>in 1690.  According to Locke's view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government. </em> In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government, </em> Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.  Locke always favored the people remaining in charge, and asserted that the people have the power to change their government and remove government leaders if the government is not properly serving the needs and well-being of the people.  

As you write your own answer to this question for your class, you will want to decide, perhaps, if you agree more with Hobbes, that security and stability are most important ... or with Locke, that the authority and liberty of the people are always paramount.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

In the recent years, due to industrial revolution and industrialization, there are many products in the market which are harmful to the surrounding atmosphere or the product releases harmful toxic gases in the atmosphere.

For example, motor vehicles releases carbon dioxide as well as methane to the atmosphere which surrounds the air and it increases the temperature of the planet.

The flourine and the chlorine gases which are released from the refrigerators and the air conditioners mixes with air and depletes the ozone layer.

Also due to pollution, sulphur content is present in the surrounding air and it results in acid rain.

Thus it is true that many products which people uses in their daily life releases some chemical compounds in the air.
