Answer:

The meaning of democracy translates to the "rule of the people". In a representitive democracy, people consent to leadership through their votes that they give to ceratin people who have the power to make decisons on behalf of them and their best interest. When a new person is elected, citizen's consent is renewed, or the social contract is renewed. This is an example of Consent of the Governed, meaning that the government is only legitimate if the people agree with it's existance. Generally, a democracy cannot exist with out the voice of the people. Their voice can be heard through excersizing your civil responsibilities like voting, speaking with state and local representitives, protesting, questioning authority etc.

Explanation:

*social contract: the idea that people agree or conset to government authority in return, the government protects the people and their rights.

Discuss how far sociologists would agree that the wider the family is becoming less important in people’s lives?
nikitadnepr [17]
They would agree with this idea up to a certain point. Sociologists who've been studying how the wider family has been losing it's importance know that it's not that vital as it was a few decades ago. However, they still represent an important social support structure for the nuclear family.

What are some important facts about the Cuban Missile Crisis
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

#1 BAY OF PIGS INVASION WAS A MAJOR CAUSE OF THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS

A military invasion of Cuba by a CIA sponsored group took place in April 1961. Known as the Bay of Pigs Invasion after a bay in southern Cuba, it was thwarted by the Cuban armed forces in three days. The failure of Bay of Pigs Invasion strengthened the position of Cuban PM Fidel Castro and was an embarrassment for the US government led by John F. Kennedy. It also strengthened Cuba’s ties with the Soviet Union and made Castro fear that a US invasion of Cuba was on the cards. US imposed embargo and continued covert operations against Castro’s government. All this contributed to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

#2 THE OPERATION TO PLACE NUCLEAR MISSILES IN CUBA WAS CODE NAMED OPERATION ANADYR

The two major superpowers at the time US and the Soviet Union were involved in a long conflict to dominate world affairs, which is well known as the Cold War. By 1962 there was presence of American nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey against the Soviet Union with their capital Moscow within range. Expecting an invasion of Cuba which if successful would be a blow to the communist cause, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro agreed to place nuclear missiles secretly in Cuba. The Soviet code name for the operation was Operation Anadyr.
