What is the impact of immigration and refugees on the population of South Africa

The unalienable rights of United States citizens are protected by the

DedPeter [7]

Human rights in the United States comprise a series of rights which are legally protected by the Constitution of the United States, including the amendments,[2][3] state constitutions, conferred by treaty, and enacted legislatively through Congress, state legislatures, and state referenda and citizen's initiatives. Federal courts in the United States have jurisdiction over international human rights laws as a federal question, arising under international law, which is part of the law of the United States.[4]

The human rights record of the United States of America is a complicated matter; first and foremost the Federal Government of the United States has, through a ratified constitution and amendments thereof, guaranteed unalienable rights to citizens of the country, and also to some degree, non-citizens. However, the historical evolution of these rights must be considered as well, as the periphery of the population of the United States who had access to these rights has expanded over time, and in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has not fully expanded complete rights to all human beings within its borders as compared to the international standard set by the United Nations General Assembly, because of social and political issues that stem from the history of the United States.

WAY 1. What level of government (local, state, or national) would best suits each category?

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

For Way 1: What level of government (local, state, or national[*]) would best suits each category?

Immigration: National.
Education: State.
Environment: State.
Water Rights: Local/State.
Homeland Security: National
Unemployment: State.
Transportation Infrastructure: State/National.

For Way 2: How does each level of govt. affect each policy category? This way may help you organize your thoughts more.

Most of the issues should be handled by the state. Things like immigration and homeland security should be managed by the Federal Government because they effect the nation as a whole; while water rights should be managed either by the local municipal government or by the state. Things like transportation infrastructure should be maintained by the state, as you do pay taxes to the state government to maintain them. However, interstates are federal roads and should be maintained by either the state they lie in or federal government.

Explanation:

Immigration is a national issue. Immigrants can go wherever in the country they want, and that is why the Federal Government should handle this.

For me, education policies should be left to the states to decide. The Federal Government could set guidelines down as to what needs to be required generally, but otherwise, let that be an issue the states handle.

When it comes to environment, not everyone agrees how to handle this topic. I think it should be up to the states to decide how they are going to handle this issue. It would allow states like Washington and California that are supposedly "sticking up for the environment" to band together without Federal interference and it would allow states like Texas and Idaho to be free to do their own thing without Federal interference. The Federal Government should only step in there are building cities being built on toxic waste dumps, should there be any toxic waste dumps.

On the topic of water rights, I do not know what you mean. Everyone has the right to clean water. And keeping that water clean and accessible should be handled by the local government. The state should step in if the local government isn't keeping the water clean and accessible.

Homeland security is a national issue that effects the nation as a whole and should be handled by the Federal Government.

Unemployment is a national issue, but I think the states should handle it. Every state (and city for that matter) can set its own minimum wage and local policies that can help businesses decide if they want to hire more or less people. For example, if the local or state government sets the minimum wage to $20/hour but the business isn't making enough money to pay all of its employees (say it has 20 employees), it will either lay off/fire a number of those employees and avoid hiring more to allow it to pay the minimum wage, cut the time employees are working so they work less time and require less pay, or raise its prices. Of course, a small business likely wouldn't be able to raise its prices and probably can't afford to cut the time its employees are on staff. This means more people will be out of work, and prices will also be higher to pay for the wages for those still in the workforce. Like the environment, people differ on this topic and I think its best to keep the federal government out of this issue to ensure it gets handled the way the locals want it to.

Highways like US. Route 101 should be managed by the state, since they aren't as important to inter-state travel as the auspiciously named interstate system. However, interstates should be maintained by both/either the state or the Federal governments.

I take it the question is from a test, so I would guess you should also consult what the lessons or textbooks say about the topic. The question is worded in such a way that it is asking for your opinion, but I would suggest sticking as close to the course as possible for the sake of not getting a bad grade (or worse grade if you already have a bad grade).

In medieval times, scholars wishing to be trained at the highest levels would attend schools or groups of schools called _______

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Universities.

Explanation:

In medieval times, higher learning institutions began to become more important, with scholars desirous of better education attending schools or universities to attain such knowledge. These universities would excel in the study of arts, medicine, law, or medicine.

These universities were established in the kingdom of Italy and then spread to England, Portugal, and Spain. Initially, these universities would be based on Catholic schools but then evolve to a much wider scope of 'education'. The first universities were more concerned with philosophical studies, between students and masters, and 'classes' taken in big stadiums or halls. Later on, many modern universities would be established with western style organizational forms.

An undergraduate student turns in a late assignment for one of her classes. Upon receiving the assignment, the instructor thinks

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Dispositional/Internal attribution.

Situational/external attribution.

Explanation:

In psychology, the term attribution refers to the explanation that we give of behaviors.

There are two essential types of attributions:

Dispositional attribution (also called internal attribution) refers to the fact that we infer that an event or a person's behavior has to do with personal factors such as traits, abilities, or feelings, thus in a dispositional attribution we think that the performance had to do with the person's abilities and not with environmental situations.
Situational attribution (also called external attribution) refers to the the tendency to assign the cause of a behavior to outside forces rather than internal characteristics of the individual. Thus, in this attribution we think that the performance had to do with environmental situations and not with the person's abilities

In this example, the student turns in a late assignment for her class. The instructor thinks "the student is a lazy bum", thus he is making an explanation that has to do with the student characteristics. Thus, this is an example of Dispositional/internal attribution.

Another day, when the teacher received a late assignment, he thinks "maybe there is a family issue going on". Now she thinks that the behavior might have to do with environmental situations (family issues). Thus, this is an example of a Situational/external attribution
