Answer: C. His openness to a new political system in Russia led, in part, to the breakdown of the Soviet Union.

Explanation:

Mikhail Gorbachev believed that the only way to save Communism in the Soviet Union was to enact a series of reforms that would give Communism a friendlier face.

He allowed for decentralization of some industries and allowed elections that increased local government control. He even allowed the Soviet citizens to openly criticize their government. All of this led to the Communist party losing support and eventually led to the breakdown of the Soviet Union.

Answer:

The 1999 movie American Beauty is one of those examples that fit the description; in the movie, both Lester & Carolyn (Mother and Father) from the Burnham family preach, scold, nag and command Jane (daughter) to behave while pretending to be role models to her, but it's all a sham, due neither one of them is happy with their lives or fit the standards they try to convey, Carolyn has an extramarital affair and Lester seems to be a ped0phile; lack of communication and sincerity contribute to this dysfunctional family, Colonel Fitts hides his own personal insecurities projecting this image of ultra-conservative and fascist person while being homophobic and abusive parent who appeals to violence.

And also, since American Democracy is a 2 party system, people play politics as a sport where communities gather into teams pretending to represent a democratic process but always voting against their own social interest in order to suppot "The Team"; it's more like an oligarchy since the power rests on a small minority group; the double standard is easy to spot through "News Media" organizations who manipulate and distort the "information" depending on their political affiliation by pretending to be neutral; TV News Networks present the information as attacks to the other team (political party) while guilty of the same actions and practices they denounce.

Answer:

Schemes

Explanation:

Jean Piaget was a psychologist who developed a theory about cognitive development. According to him, people go through different stages of cognitive development since birth until adolescence and the thinking becomes more logical as they move through the stages.

Piaget developed also the concept of schemes, according to him, schemes are frameworks that help us organize and store information (that can be ideas, behaviors, skills). Thanks to them we can organize similar concepts and make generalizations and mental patterns to organize them and interpret our environment in a faster way.

Therefore, schemes are organized mental patterns that represent behaviors and actions.
