In an ideal world all human beings will be treated equally, regardless
of their gender or ethnicity. In fact, article 2 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights states: “Everyone is entitled to all the
rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction
of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or
other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other
status.” However in reality this is not practiced. Before it discuss the challenges I will look at the background of both
cultural and religious groups rights and women’s rights. Will Kymlicka
(1995) lays down two different kinds of group rights. The first is
minority rights that protects the interests of their members and
secondly rights which impose restrictions on its members, such as some
cultural groups that set prohibitions and regulations on women.
Answer: a) Imports > Exports = Trade Deficit
Explanation:
When something is said to be in deficit, it means that more money is being spent than is being received. This is why this situation is called a trade deficit, because imports represent spending and exports represent gains and when there is more spending than gains, there is a trade deficit.
When however, there is more exports than imports, you have what is called a trade surplus. Not a lot of countries can manage this.

Answer:
Well, first you'll have to identify themes of their rule.
Style of rule -
NII was obviously an autocrat (even though he, in theory anyway, had a representative body of the peoples, the Duma. But he hung onto his absolute rule with the Fundamental Laws (1905)), and Lenin had spoke alot of 'dictatorship of the proletariat,' both pretty absolute.
Repression (secret police, censorship) -
NII had the Okhrana, and tried to continue his father's 'Reaction.' Secret police for the
purpose of preserving the status quo, keeping the Tsars in power.
Lenin's Cheka was far more efficient, and though the total amount of the Cheka's victims in the civil war are officially 12,000 and something(wiki it), historians widely believe this figure to be in excess 500,000. Lenin therefore could be judged as the worse of the two.
Reform -
- NII - Illusory Reform (October Manifesto created the Duma, and as mentioned, this had no real authority),
- Stolypin's land reforms did almost nothing. Lenin issues the Workers Control Decree, and also
- the Bolshevik Land Decree - however these were only very temporary (before a return to a very
- authoritarian economic set-up (strict discipline etc). These therefore could also be judged as illusory.
Similarities-
- Both used concessions/reform in order to maintain control. Nicholas with the October Manifesto and
the creation of the Duma and Lenin with the NEP to appease the SR's and the rightists of the Bolsheviks.
- They both 'backtracked' on the reforms however with Lenin calling the NEP a 'tactical retreat' and would've
- reverted it had he been alive and Nicholas made the 1906 constitution/ Fundamental laws which limited the Duma's powers and maintained his position as an autocrat.
