Political Theory
Democracy

What is one of the basic principles of democracy?

I read this book a very long time ago but it opened up my eyes to what democracies are;

In his book, Democracy and Its Critics (1989), Dahl clarifies his view about democracy. No modern country meets the ideal of democracy, which is as a theoretical utopia. To reach the ideal requires meeting five criteria:

[10]

Effective participation

Citizens must have adequate and equal opportunities to form their preference and place questions on the public agenda and express reasons for one outcome over the other.

Voting equality at the decisive stage

Each citizen must be assured his or her judgments will be counted as equal in weights to the judgments of others.

Enlightened understanding

Citizens must enjoy ample and equal opportunities for discovering and affirming what choice would best serve their interests.

Control of the agenda

Demos or people must have the opportunity to decide what political matters actually are and what should be brought up for deliberation.

Inclusiveness

Equality must extend to all citizens within the state. Everyone has legitimate stake within the political process.

Contrary to common belief, Democracies are not defined by majority vote. The countries that we associate with being democracies have many voting systems in place. While I acknowledge that no new democracy has replicated the American model there are numerous examples here to consider.

For instance we don’t allow majority vote for changes to our constitution and there are many fundamental rights already included in our constitution. We have more-or-less proportional representation in our House of Representatives but not in our Senate where each State get two senators regardless of the population of the states. Every democracy has rules about who can vote. America elects it’s president through an institution called the Electoral College. Most Americans today don’t like it but there were reasons for implementing it when the constitution was written. Then there are parliamentary systems throughout the world.

It is actually a fascinating and complicated subject. While there are many versions of democracy there is, I think, a pretty clear distinction between the countries we commonly consider democracies and those that are not. No doubt there are countries that fall into the grey area.

Who remembers a commercial where a Swedish man says It's Tuesday I am going to call me mother?

(all Swedish accents)

"Eric, where are you going, Eric?"

"It's Tuesday, I'm going to call my mother"

"Hello, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!"

This ad most likely was for AT&T since it came out so long ago or possibly even one of the major Bell's after the split-up in 1982. one of my all time favorites.

Where did the chicken wing song come from?

After doing a deep dive on youtube, the earliest video I found posted dated back to 2007 by theretardedgansters they alluded to the song being from an audio clip being sent around with phones (the era of flip phones, before smartphones.) Someone in the comments alluded to it being from the early days of AOL. I'm still searching for answers, but I've found a few leads.

Wellington

What was the eponym that the Duke of Wellington?

An eponym is when someone gives their name to something else. So, like , 'The Duke of Wellington' gave his name to wellington boots. It's a little bit like the Roman's gave their names to the months on the calendar we use today, for example: Augustus Caesar gave his name to our month 'August'.

I hope I've helped! :)

How fast should a 14 year old boy run a 40 yard dash?

depends if you big in size or skinny but usually 4.50

Don't listen to the guy who said 4.5, that's nfl wide receiver time.

I would guess Anything under 5 is is really really fast. like you should be one of the fastest people in your grade. 5.0 - 5.5 is fast. 5.5 - 6.0 is good. 6.0+ is average

At the NFL combine, the fastest players run 4.22 to 4.4, so if you are anywhere under 5.0 at age 14, you may have the ability to play football at a pretty high level in high school or even college if you continue to improve your times.

If you are 5.0 to 5.5, you still have good athletic ability and you should consider playing football or any sport where foot speed is important. If you are 5.5 to 6.0 but are very big, then you have good athletic ability too, and should try to improve your speed. The very best offensive linemen at the NFL combine run 5.0 to 5.2.

yeah the guy who wrote 4.50 is kinda right, i know someone in my grade who runs close to that.

you really shouldnt worry about that to much because running in a straight line is gonna get you that far in sports well except in track in some cases if you do a sport like football, rugby, soccer, or basketball you should worry more about agility.

Is 0.5 greater or less than 0.4?

0.5 is greater. For positive decimal numbers with only 0 to the left of the decimal point, whichever number, if either, has the larger digit immediately to the right of the decimal point is larger. If the numbers have the same digit immediately to the right of the decimal point, apply the same test to the successive digits after the decimal points until one with a distinction is found; the larger of the first distinctive digit after the decimal point is in the larger number.

Can you take hydrocodone and Ibuprofen together?

Yes, you can. Ibuprofen and Hydrocodone work in different ways. When Hydrocodone is prescribed it is commonly prescribed in combination with acetaminophen (Tylenol), but sometimes prescribed with ibuprofen (Vicoprofen). Hydrocodone is an opioid narcotic that works by blocking opioid pain receptors. Ibuprofen is not a narcotic and works differently to block pain. Many healthcare providers including myself will tell patients to start off by taking ibuprofen (400 mg). If the pain still persists after 30 minutes or so take the hydrocodone. There is no adverse effects and no reason to worry about taking the medicines together as long as you take them in the recommended/prescribed dosages.

Medical Terminology

What does the medical abbreviation PKU mean?

galactosemia, which means “galactose in the blood,” refers to a group of inherited disorders that impair the body's ability to process and produce energy from a sugar called galactose. When people with galactosemia injest foods or liquids containing galactose, undigested sugars build up in the blood. classic galactosemia (type 1) - the most common and severe type, caused by mutations in the GALT gene, and characterized by a complete deficiency of an enzyme called galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT). type IV galactosemia is likely to result in a buildup of β-d-galactose. In type I and type III galactosemia, the buildup of galactose 1-phosphate has been proposed to be responsible for many of the manifestations of these diseases. duarte galactosemia is a specific type of galactosemia. galactosemias are a group of rare inherited conditions. galactosemia means “galactose in the blood.” people with duarte galactosemia digest a type of sugar called galactose more slowly. galactose is found in milk and all foods that contain milk. classic galactosemia (GALT) is an inherited condition in which the body is unable to properly digest galactose, a sugar found in all foods that contain milk. If a child with GALT eats galactose, undigested sugars build up in the blood rather than being used for energy. classic galactosemia, also known as type I, is the most common and most severe form of the condition. If infants with classic galactosemia are not treated promptly with a low-galactose diet, life-threatening complications appear between birth or atleast by within a few day's after birth.

type4: moderate/severe. type 3 affected infants develop cataracts but otherwise experience few long-term complications. the signs and symptoms of galactosemia type III vary from mild to severe and can include cataracts, delayed growth and development, intellectual disability, liver disease, and kidney problem's. mild/severe.

galactosemia type II (also called galactokinase deficiency) and type III (also called galactose epimerase deficiency) cause different patterns of signs and symptoms. galactosemia type II causes fewer medical problems than the classic type. galactosemia type II causes fewer medical problems than the classic type. affected infants develop cataracts but otherwise experience few long-term complications| mild/moderate. classic galactosemia is a rare, serious, life-threatening disorder. duarte galactosemia is more common and usually causes no symptom's, but. duarte galactosemia is an inherited condition associated with diminished ability to metabolize galactose due to a partial deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase| mild
