Answer 1

Answer: If you want to do more to influence the political process than cast a ballot every four years, you might want to consider joining a political party. Party membership can prove a rewarding experience. Not only will you be able to participate in nomination meetings and leadership campaigns, but you will also have the opportunity to shape policy, work alongside those who share your beliefs and values, and help your party succeed. Nine political parties are officially recognized in Alberta by the chief electoral officer, and their ideologies range from the far right to the far left of the political spectrum. Five parties—the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta, Alberta Liberal Party, Wildrose Alliance Party, Alberta New Democratic Party and Alberta Party—are represented in the 27th legislature, and they, together with the Alberta Greens, Alberta Social Credit Party, Communist Party–Alberta and Separation Party of Alberta, fielded candidates in the 2008 general election. Doug Griffiths, Minister of Municipal Affairs, MLA for Battle River–Wainwright and a former teacher, describes party membership as superior to advocacy when it comes to effecting change. While advocates try to influence policy from the outside, party members are on the inside helping to develop the policy that guides the party and, in the case of sitting parties, its elected representatives. “You can protest and write letters and try to effect change that way, but the greatest way to effect change is to become involved in a party that you share a common theme with,” he says. “Then essentially you can work at the party level to form policies that party will have to act on, that its elected representatives will act on.” Griffiths points out that, if all of the province’s teachers purchased memberships in a single political party, they could work to improve the quality of education. “If all the teachers wrote letters to the government, it’s 32,000 teachers’ opinions versus [those of] three million other Albertans,” he says. “But if they buy memberships in a political party, it could be 32,000 teachers and 32,000 other people who hold memberships, and [teachers] could have a significant sway on party policy.” Membership prerequisites vary among parties. Some parties require proof of Canadian citizenship and/or Alberta residency, and others have minimum age restrictions. While most ask only that applicants support their principles and policies, at least one of the major parties—the Alberta New Democratic Party—requires applicants to affirm that they do not belong to any other party. And unlike members of most provincial parties, which are not formally associated with a federal party, members of the Alberta New Democratic Party automatically become members of the New Democratic Party of Canada. Membership fees for the three parties represented in the provincial legislature range from $5 in the case of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta to $20 in the case of the Alberta New Democratic Party. Some parties offer differential fees for youth, seniors and, in some cases, unemployed or underemployed members. Fees are not tax deductible unless they exceed $50 a year. Once you have made a decision to join a political party, your level of involvement is up to you. You may wish to remain a passive member, receiving the party’s newsletter and other communiqués, or you may wish to become actively involved in its affairs. Choose a level of involvement with which you feel comfortable. It may change over time.

Summary Of the play "The Stronger".​

Answers

Answer:

The play represents a triangular situation in which two actresses—one married, Mrs. X, and one unmarried, Miss Y—meet accidentally at a café while Christmas shopping and begin considering their past rivalry in love for Mrs. X's husband.The Stronger is an 1889 Swedish play by August Strindberg. The play consists of only one scene. The characters are two women: a "Mrs. X", who speaks, and a "Miss. Y", who is silent, an example of a dramatic monologue

Explanation:

"The Stronger" is a one-act play written by August Strindberg. The story revolves around a confrontation between two women, Mrs. X and Miss Y, in a bistro.

Through their dialogue, it becomes evident that Miss Y is having an affair with Mrs. X's husband. As the conversation progresses, it becomes clear that Mrs. X is aware of the affair, while Miss Y remains unaware of Mrs. X's knowledge. Mrs. X uses her silent strength to manipulate the situation, leaving Miss Y emotionally vulnerable and defeated.

The play explores themes of power dynamics, deception, and the complexity of human relationships, ultimately portraying the triumph of inner strength over outward appearances.

Because he was as a child, Rob was a rather self-centered teenager. After hearing the raucous, cheering response to Adam’s speech, Mr. James feared that his new student body president might be an amateur.

Answers

Answer:

Rob was to be immature but Mr. James is unsure to have faith withi his work.

Explanation:

Coddled because the adjective refers to the parenting method and how it resulted in his posterior self-centered personal feature.

Bourgeois cannot be the correct one because it is more related with the social position that someone has, which mustn´t have a direct relationship with his self-centered behavior.

Despotic is not correct because it doesn´t respect the rule of action-reaction that the sentence needs to express.

Dubious is not the one because in a contextual view of the sentence it doesn’t make sense.

Who is Adam?

Demagogue because, thinking in the sentence context, the noun that here appears corresponds to the reaction that Adam´s speech had.

Bourgeois is not the one because it doesn´t make sense since it is not related to the statement of the sentence.

Mathilde longed for financial freedom, luxury, beautiful furniture, social standing, delicate meals, exquisite serving utensils, and a life of ease. She felt that she deserved better than what she had. She was especially unhappy with her husband as she felt she should have married into a higher social class. Loisel seems like the simple, happy, good guy in the story, a foil for his perpetually dissatisfied wife. Monsieur Loisel wants to please his wife, who he loves, whereas Madame Loisel is self-absorbed and indifferent to her husband. He has married a beautiful wife, who he sees as a prize, whereas she is frustrated by being married to a man of her own lower middle class status rather than a fabulous aristocrat.

Neither spoke, but lay silently listening to the ticking of the clock. A stair creaked, and a squeaky mouse scurried noisily through the wall. The darkness was oppressive, and after lying for some time screwing up his courage, he took the box of matches, and striking one, went downstairs for a candle.

At the foot of the stairs the match went out, and he paused to strike another; and at the same moment a knock, so quiet and stealthy as to be scarcely audible, sounded on the front door.

The matches fell from his hand and spilled in the passage. He stood motionless, his breath suspended until the knock was repeated. Then he turned and fled swiftly back to his room, and closed the door behind him. A third knock sounded through the house.

Write an informative essay explaining the different kinds of sacrifices people make, the value in making sacrifices, and how to determine when to make a sacrifice. DO NOT COPY AN OLD ONE PLEASE

Answers

Answer:


There can be many circumstances that would cause someone to make sacrifices. Having to put one's self in a vulnerable situation than having to let go of things or make a hard decision can be difficult.

When you think about sacrifices it can be for someone or yourself. You value your hardship by determining what needs to be done. The outcome will always be to better the situation, or in vice versa be made worse.

Until your circumstances have gotten to a point you can't seem to fix, that's when you determine if you should sacrifice something important to you. And even if you never get to your breaking point, sometimes it's better to take a step back and see if anything is going wrong.
