Gotcha and not with those textbook definitions.
Lets say we own a herd of goat. I dont even know if you can have herd of goat or if its called something but back to the point,
In a democratic society, every goat would have an equal chance to represent who they want to be their rancher. They can express their views openly without any legal prosecution. However, they dont just choose one person to lead them. Lets say that theres a group of white colored goats. These goats can vote for one goat to represent them as whole. Same with the brown-colored goat. Same with the black-colored goat.
(And no, please, if someone takes this as racist then I am done. That is not what im going for)
Now an autocratic society has the rancher with absolute power (like a dictator). He can control everything to his needs and he does not need to benefit the majority of the people, only the people that will keep him in power (which is why there is no such thing as a Dictator that will help the people. If he does help the people, he loses the support of his closest allies who had him in power, and he is now tossed out of power).
Finally, an oligarchic is a bit harder to represent with goats but lets say we had some European Goats and some American Goats who used to be European. They decided to sail across the sea to find "new land" and start there own government... But of course, that European Goat sees the American Soil that the goats now herd on as having lots and lots of grass, which is depleted in Europe due to the large amount of Goats. They decide to create a charter to grant the American Goats rights to the land only if they send grass back home.
I hope this helps people understand these concepts as I just really came up with the metaphors for it and wow, I already love my own post
High-context cultures tend to load a lot of meaning into the setting or context of communication and prefer traditions over change. This is true.
<u>
Explanation:</u>
In High Context cultures communication is mainly through contextual elements i.e. body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, personal status, etc. and are stated implicitly. The users of high-context cultures normally have closer, more long-lasting relationships that allows them to know each other so the rules for their communication do not have to be stated explicitly.
They place more emphasis on interpersonal relationships. Trust is developed before the beginning of transactions. Examples of high-context cultures can be found in Japan, Brazil, African tribal groups, Iraq, Iran, and most cultures in the Middle East.
Two types of sources:
1. Primary source
2. Secondary source
Primary sources are written/created:
They are events created by individuals during that period of time (such as diaries or memoirs)
Secondary sources are written/created:
Use generalizations, analysis, interpretation, and synthesis of primary sources
Claim testing is the process we use to assess the truthfulness of claims
The answer is true. a primary source is a quote or retelling by someone who was there, or an original document
