Answer:

Andrew Carnegie was extremely wealthy having built a personal fortune from steel. He was a philanthropist and believed in giving back to the community but he still maintained control of where and how to donate. The kind of projects he prioritized did little to directly help the class of people who struggle daily like coal miners.

Explanation:

Andrew Carnegie was known as a philanthropist, he felt it was his duty or obligation to give back to the community as a wealthy person. But he was also the wealthiest man in the world in 1901 when he retired. There is a big disparity between his life and the life of  average coal miner who had to struggle in the mines and risked their health and lives because the earnings were a bit higher than other options for the poorer or working class at the time, particularly where there was coal mining in the Appalachians and around Pittsburgh, for example. This philanthropic view was not ethical because it was the wealthy man himself who still decided where the money was to be donated or invested and in the kind of services it would provide. Carnegie donated to museums and libraries in the Pittsburgh area for example, and while valuable in themselves they do little to improve the quality of life for working class people directly, like coal miners. Although Carnegie did respond personally to some families in the Harwick Mine Disaster for example,  having medals privately minted for the families of two miners who gave their lives trying to save the others. Carnegie also gave $5 million to establish a Carnegie Hero Fund (note how the gesture was branded in the sense even in giving it carries the Carnegie name). But 181 people died in that accident that was indicative of other sacrifices many countless other coal miners made to help amass his personal fortune.

compare the following styles of democratic government: federal, con-federal, and unitary. Describe where they derive their power
algol [13]
A federal government is a government where there is a separation of powers between the local governments and the federal government. Federal governments' laws have to be applied throughout the federation, but the local government can have its own laws if they don't in any way interfere with the federal law. An example of such a country is the United States of America.

A confederation is a system of government where there is a confederate government that does not bother the local governments in any way and they can have their own laws. A confederate government's regulation is within the domain of defense and support for all members of the confederation equally. An example of this is Switzerland which leans towards federal government, but also organizations like the European Union which is considered by many to be a confederation of sovereign unitary states.

A unitary government is one that is in no way divided and where a central power authority decides for the entirety of the state.This is the most common form of government and an example can be China. There are provinces but the legislature of the provinces is decided by the central Chinese government.
