The city of Dallas, Texas, passed a curfew this year restricting the movement of minors during the day. Because people under the

age of 18 are supposed to be in school during the day, the curfew is meant to affect primarily children who choose to skip school or those who decide to drop out. The chief of police explained, "The idea of the curfew came up after large jumps in the rates of theft and vandalism during the day."
Several groups in the community were in favor of the measure. Others believe it is a mistake. Brenely Watson spoke on behalf of a group of concerned citizens. She said, "The police department has no proof that minors are responsible for the increased crime. Perhaps someone should look in a mirror if they really need someone to blame." Mrs. Watson has a 15-year-old son who has perfect attendance at school.
The city council voted in favor of the curfew. It is now law. The mayor praised the police department before and after the vote. "The chief needs us to do everything in our power to help the brave men and women of the police department," he said. "Stopping crime depends on more people than just those wearing badges."
Which of these statements is supported by the article?
A.
The mayor believes the police are able to take care of the crime problem alone.
B.
The mayor does not believe that the police are capable of solving the crime problem.
C.
The mayor does not believe that the crime problem is cause by the city's minors.
D.
The mayor believes the entire community needs to help with the crime problem.

qaws [65]

I think there are two ptions that show internal conflict:

1) He considers whether or not to trust the inmate who tells him he´s not fifteen.

In this case he doesn't know the inmmate and doesn't know the exact reason hes telling him to lie. One reason is because he wants to help him, that information would save his life from the SS. The other option is that the inmmate is selfish and by telling him to lie, the kid will be punished instead of him. The kid must decide then if he trusts him or not.

2) He must decide whether or not to tell Dr. Mengele the truth about his age.

In this case he has even more doubts, he knows Mengeles reputation and he doesn't know how much information does he have and how will it affect him. If he lies he might know it and punish him or that lie could save him.

The conflict is real because his life could depend on the decissions he makes.

Conduct an investigation on the extent at which media contributes to democracy in South Africa. Not more than 300 words, report
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

In some of the most influential democracies in the world, large segments of the population are no longer receiving unbiased news and information. This is not because journalists are being thrown in jail, as might occur in authoritarian settings. Instead, the media have fallen prey to more nuanced efforts to throttle their independence. Common methods include government-backed ownership changes, regulatory and financial pressure, and public denunciations of honest journalists. Governments have also offered proactive support to friendly outlets through measures such as lucrative state contracts, favorable regulatory decisions, and preferential access to state information. The goal is to make the press serve those in power rather than the public.

The problem has arisen in tandem with right-wing populism, which has undermined basic freedoms in many democratic countries. Populist leaders present themselves as the defenders of an aggrieved majority against liberal elites and ethnic minorities whose loyalties they question, and argue that the interests of the nation—as they define it—should override democratic principles like press freedom, transparency, and open debate.

Among Free countries in Freedom House’s Freedom in the World report, 19 percent (16 countries) have endured a reduction in their press freedom scores over the past five years. This is consistent with a key finding of Freedom in the World—that democracies in general are undergoing a decline in political rights and civil liberties. It has become painfully apparent that a free press can never be taken for granted, even when democratic rule has been in place for decades.
