<span>Citizens are expected to actively participate in the political process.</span>

<span>
</span><span>A democracy cannot function well unless the people (the "demos" in ancient Greek language) take an active role in educating themselves about issues in society and participating in civic life.  Citizens exercise their rights to free speech and freedom of assembly, and especially cast their votes on issues (in referendum ballots) and for candidates for leadership offices.  Some citizens may run for public offices and serve in that way, but all citizens are expected to be part of the political processes that keep the city, state or country operating in beneficial ways.

</span>

In his famous work from the 1830s, Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville put great stress upon the direct involvement of all citizens in the democratic functioning of society, through their regular association with one another in civic groups. Tocqueville urged that in a democracy, individual citizens need to learn to unite in association with one another to work as a group to protect their freedoms against the encroachment of tyranny. Tocqueville said that the most democratic country on earth is, above all, where individuals have "most perfected the art of pursuing the object of their common desires in common." He thought there is a "necessary relation between associations and equality."

The Wizard of Oz and War of the Worlds were both escapist fantasies. How were they alike and different?
Bad White [126]

                                          Similarities and difference

Both the Wizard of Oz and the the War of Worlds are fictional and escapist stories that put you right in the feet of the main characters and experience a world that is far from real.

In the Wizard of Oz, you follow Dorthy and her magical friends who help her along in her journey. In War of the Worlds, you see the invasion of earth by advanced aliens and experience the raw emotions of that character, his survival instincts and the danger he experiences.

However, apart from the similarities, they are actually very different. Wizard of Oz can be described as a family-friendly story that kids would love. However, War of Worlds is full of violence, blood, and gore. The tone is far more serious and suitable for adults.

The graph shows the price of green tea compared to the amount supplied by producers.
Kaylis [27]

<em>The correct answer is: 2. </em>Green tea is inelastic in terms of supply.

The elasticity of the supply of a product measures the variation experienced by the quantities of products supplied by the producers before variations in certain factors of production. In our case, the established factor is the market price of the goods to be produced (green tea), and is called the price elasticity of the offer.

The price elasticity of the supply of a product is calculated as the quotient between the differences in the quantity offered to the market by the producers and the differences in the market price of that product.

In this case, the price elasticity of green tea is 67%. The calculation is done as follows:

  <em> E (%) = (S2-S1) / (P2-P1) = (5-3) / (7-4) = 2/3 = 67% </em>

As this value is less than unity, it is said that the green tea is Inelastic in terms of supplies with respect to the market price.

This means that before increases in the price the quantities supplied by the producers increase in a smaller proportion.
