Political:  Colombia was close to legalizing abortion. Instead, a top court kept restrictions in place

Source: The Washington Post, Date: 3/03/2020

On 2006, Colombian constitutional court ruled abortion was legal in three specific cases: pregnancy resulted from violation, a risk to the mother's life, or fetus malformation. However, pro-choice activists argue that poor women find too many barriers to access legal abortion, hence they risk their lives using illegal abortion clinics. Therefore, legal abortion reduces inequality between poor and middle-class women. Colombian pro-choice activists received a boost when the president announced he intends to issue a bill to legalize abortion. Pro-choice activists hoped that the Colombian Constitutional court would rule to legalise abortion in the country, but the legalisation of abortion was one vote short to be ruled.

Economic:  UPDATE 1-Colombia tries to calm coronavirus fears, market skeptical

Source: Reuters, 9/03/2020

Colombia's government and central back stated on Monday that Colombia's economy can withstand the coronavirus' impact on the global economy. The finance ministry stated that the fundamentals of the Colombian economy are still solid and will absorb the described external shocks without severe trauma to financial activity and stability. However, analysts disagree with the government's statement. Crude is the main Colombian export and source of foreign exchange, so after Monday's 10% fall on oil price, the Colombian peso lost 6.29% of its value. Therefore, it is plausible that the Coronavirus impact over the economy could lead the Country to miss the fiscal deficit target of 2.2% of GDP, leading to a credit rating downgrade.

Social:  Colombia Is Dealing With a Terrifying Refugee Crisis. Will Wealthy Nations Step Up to Help?

Source: The New York Times, 03/10/2020

More than 5 million people have fled Venezuela in the past 15 years, the largest refugee crisis in Latin America in recorded history. Venezuelans refugees reaching Colombia are in dire poverty conditions, fleeing from violence as well as from hunger, disease and lack of basic necessities, making Colombia one of the largest receivers of Venezuelan migrants. Therefore, Colombia is the country that has received the heaviest burden, with thousands of people crossing its border each day. To attend the crisis, the country is by its own means, and the money simply is not enough. Roughly, each Venezuelan refugee has received about $125. Given the size of the crisis, wealthy nations should do more than they are doing to support Colombia and Venezuelans refugees to overcome this crisis.

Attributes, interests, and convictions are all part of which of the following?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The correct option is B. Attributes, interests and convictions are part of identity.

Identity can be described as the qualities a person possesses. The personality of a person, his/her likes and dislikes, beliefs of a person all represent the identity of a person. Hence, Option B is correct.

Other options like social identity are incorrect because social identity depicts the identity of a person in a group. It does not explain the attributes and interests of the person. Religion is incorrect religion does not define the behaviour and attributes of a person.

What was the outcome of pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in 1989?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

      The Tiananmen Square protests were student-led demonstrations calling for democracy, free speech and a free press in China. They were halted in a bloody crackdown, known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, by the Chinese government on June 4 and 5, 1989.

       Pro-democracy protesters, mostly students, initially marched through Beijing to Tiananmen Square following the death of Hu Yaobang. Hu, a former Communist Party leader, had worked to introduce democratic reform in China. In mourning Hu, the students called for a more open, democratic government. Eventually thousands of people joined the students in Tiananmen Square, with the protest’s numbers increasing to the tens of thousands by mid-May.

       At issue was a frustration with the limits on political freedom in the country—given its one-party form of government, with the Communist Party holding sway—and ongoing economic troubles. Although China’s government had instituted a number of reforms in the 1980s that established a limited form of capitalism in the country, the poor and working-class Chinese still faced significant challenges, including lack of jobs and increased poverty.

      The students also argued that China’s educational system did not adequately prepare them for an economic system with elements of free-market capitalism.

       Some leaders within China’s government were sympathetic to the protesters’ cause, while others saw them as a political threat.

Martial Law Declared

       On May 13, a number of the student protesters initiated a hunger strike, which inspired other similar strikes and protests across China. As the movement grew, the Chinese government became increasingly uncomfortable with the protests, particularly as they disrupted a visit by Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union on May 15.

       A welcome ceremony for Gorbachev originally scheduled for Tiananmen Square was instead held at the airport, although otherwise his visit passed without incident. Even so, feeling the demonstrations needed to be curtailed, the Chinese government declared martial law on May 20 and 250,000 troops entered Beijing.

       By the end of May more than one million protesters had gathered in Tiananmen Square. They held daily marches and vigils, and images of the events were transmitted by media organizations to audiences in the United States and Europe.

       Tiananmen Square Massacre

While the initial presence of the military failed to quell the protests, the Chinese authorities decided to increase their aggression. At 1 a.m. on June 4, Chinese soldiers and police stormed Tiananmen Square, firing live rounds into the crowd.
