The sentence is drawing a parallel between the two parties' reasons for going to war. Each of them is associated with a verb: one with "survive," the other with "perish." They are the two antonyms.

Antonyms are words which have opposite meanings. <em>Survive </em>means to contine living, and <em>perish </em>means to stop living.

What Lincoln meant by using this antonym-based parallelism is that the Confederacy fought to end the exisiting nation (meaning, to secede from the North and create a new nation), while the Union fought to keep the nation alive by preventing it from splitting.

Assess how the media is supposed to exercise its roles and responsibilities in reporting on human rights violation in democracy
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

In a democracy, the main function of the media is to inform the people about everything that is of public interest, and to keep an eye on the branches of government: the president, the congress, and the judiciary.

Human rights violations are either caused by the government, or by other citizens (for example, a gang or a mafia cartel). In both cases, the media has the responsability to cast light on the cases, to inform them to the citizens, and to denounce them. This action is of great importance for democracy, because when human rights are violated, democracy is either in danger, or disappearing.
