Answer: Nope

Our voting system worked well for decades, but now it is broken. There is a better way to give voice to the people.

Brexit is a turning point in the history of western democracy. Never before has such a drastic decision been taken through so primitive a procedure – a one-round referendum based on a simple majority. Never before has the fate of a country – of an entire continent, in fact – been changed by the single swing of such a blunt axe, wielded by disenchanted and poorly informed citizens.

But this is just the latest in a series of worrying blows to the health of democracy. On the surface, everything still seems fine. A few years ago, the World Values Survey, a large-scale international research project, asked more than 73,000 people in 57 countries if they believed democracy was a good way to govern a country – and nearly 92% said yes. But that same survey found that in the past 10 years, around the world, there has been a considerable increase in calls for a strong leader “who does not have to bother with parliament and elections” – and that trust in governments and political parties has reached a historical low. It would appear that people like the idea of democracy but loathe the reality.

Trust in the institutions of democracy is also visibly declining. In the past five years, the European Union’s official research bureau found that less than 30% of Europeans had faith in their national parliaments and governments – some of the lowest figures in years, and an indication that almost three-quarters of people distrust their countries’ most important political institutions. Everywhere in the west, political parties – the key players in our democracies – are among the least trusted institutions in society. Although a certain scepticism is an essential component of citizenship in a free society, we are justified in asking how widespread this distrust might be and at what point healthy scepticism tips over into outright aversion.

Can someone write this in their own words:
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The clinic's investment by the game reserve has the potential to change the rural South African community depicted in the film. For the city, the game reserve is a significant source of revenue. The money from the reserve helps the community by allowing for the construction of infrastructure including schools and child-care centers. These activities, in turn, create jobs.

A workforce and human resources are needed for the game reserve and the schools. However, because of the HIV outbreak and inadequate sanitation, the rural population is vulnerable to deadly diseases. The game reserve will cultivate its human resources and extend life expectancy in the region by investing in a mobile clinic and providing free medical care to those in the community. People will work, be active, and contribute to community growth if they are safe and trained. The game reserve will spur economic development by shielding the workforce from death and disease.

Answer:

C. Allegory

Explanation:

Allegory is known as an extended metaphor whereby a long narrative is used to teach a lesson or prove a point from an absurd, unrelated story. The story usually has an implied and literal meaning.

So, a writer that comes up with an outrageous solution to poverty just to highlight the heartlessness and absurdity of the rulers he lives under uses an allegory to tell his story.
