Answer:

Media has given political parties the tools to reach large numbers of people and can inform them on key issues ranging from policies to elections. In theory, media should be seen as an enabler for democracy, having better-educated voters would lead to a more legitimate government.

2The media is also an important accountability mechanism: it raises important issues, corruption for example, that might otherwise never be publicly debated or addressed. The media also has an important role in stimulating governments to take action on social policy: although stories about migrants or refugees might reinforce prejudice in some quarters, they also expose problems that need to be addressed, for example poor living conditions or lack of access to services, the citizenship status of migrants, the response of local communities to their settlement and so on.

3But the media can also, in some cases, become an instrument for the dissemination of false and inflammatory messages and values that do not promote respect or well-tempered dialogue and discussion. Negative messages can divide communities and can help perpetuate the stereotypes that nurture violence.

4Media portrayals can sometimes serve to exacerbate the narrative of oppositional forces and irreconcilable, value-based differences. The media often prefers to dwell on conflict, since conflict and drama sell newspapers and attract an audience. This inevitably means that the more extreme points of view get airtime rather than the feelings of the majority of citizens that may have more accommodating and balanced perspectives. For example, during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the state-supported Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) station broadcast hate propaganda against Tutsis, moderate Hutus, Belgians and the United Nations, and was used as a tool to organize massacres. And even when the media are truly independent, there can be a tendency by some (though not all) of the media to oversimplify the complexity of current problems and reduce the news to catch phrases and sound bytes – on the assumption that people want drama and entertainment rather than informed analysis. An emphasis on the constructive role of the media, which we strongly support, has to go with a realistic recognition of the problems that the media have reason to guard against.

Makovka662 [10]

<u>The correct answer is C. U.S. Supreme Court justices are appointed while Georgia Supreme Court justices are elected.</u>

Let's review the truthfulness of the other three options:

A. <u><em>Only the U.S. Constitution deals with individual rights and freedoms.</em></u> This is false. Georgia Constitution in the First Section of Article One, describes the state's Bill of Rights, 28 paragraphs of individual rights.

B. <u><em>Only the U.S. Constitution specifically creates a legislative branch of the government. </em></u>This is also false. Georgia’s legislative branch, since 1777, when the first state constitution was created, is similar to the U.S. Congress in that it is bicameral, or has two chambers or houses. Georgia’s legislative branch is called the General Assembly.  

D. <u><em>An American president can only serve two consecutive four-year terms in office</em></u><em>,</em> <em><u>but a Georgia governor can serve three consecutive four-year terms. </u></em>This is wrong because a Governor of the State is limited to two consecutive four-year terms of office.

<u>Finally, the nine Judges of the Georgia State Court are selected using the nonpartisan election of judges system. On the other hand, the President of the United States nominate, with the advice and confirmation of the Senate, the justices to the Supreme Court.</u>

In ancient Athens, how were citizens compensated for their participation in the Assembly or on juries?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

FIRST: You had tell the person that you were going to start an action against them to be heard in "court". You had to bring witnesses with you so your witnesses could testify that the person was told why you were bringing an action, and that you had given this person a date, time, and location that they had to appear in court to defend themselves.

SECOND: You had to post a written notice near the courthouse that clearly stated the names of both parties, the charges, and the date, time, and location of your first trip to court on this action.

FIRST TIME IN COURT: The first trip gave both parties a chance to speak before a judge. If the judge felt there was enough cause, that judge would assign a trial date. That trial date had to be posted as well.

JURY SELECTION, TRIAL BY JURY: To be on a jury, you had to be a citizen. You had to be over 30 years of age. You had to swear that you would be fair to both sides. You did get paid. Juries were selected from volunteers. The number of jurors could be huge. Some trials had as many as 500 jurors who had volunteered to judge a case. Only the jury could bring in a decision that someone was guilty or innocent. The judge only kept order, but could not decide a trial outcome.

THE TRIAL: Both sides presented their case. Then the jurors voted. Majority ruled.

PUNISHMENT: Punishments varied. If found guilty, both sides, the person bringing the charge and the person being charged, suggested a punishment. The jury could not choose a third choice. They had to choice one suggestion or the other.
