That's the difference between socialism and democratic socialism. Ever since Obama's election, the term "socialism" has been thrown around and used much too loosely, resulting in any kind of socialist policy to be labeled as socialism. Democratic socialism (even though Bernie is more of a social democrat) is a centrist idea with a small allowance of leftist policy, such as socialized health care and education. In short, democratic socialism is primarily capitalist with little snippets of socialist policy, and is entirely different from socialism.

What part of the government enforces law?
Answer 1: The law enforcement part of government is its police force. However, the prosecuting attorney (aka, the "prosecutor" or the "district attorney," depending on where in the country it is), is considered the highest ranking law enforcement authority in whatever is the jurisdiction; and all police do basically whatever s/he says to do.
That suggests, though, that the prosecutor commands the police, and that's technically not the case, either. There is always someone in charge of the police. If it's a city or town, then the "police chief" is usually in charge of the police officers; and if it's a county, then the "county sheriff" is usually in charge of the county police officers (aka, deputies). If the jurisdiction is the state, then whomever is the head of the state police, or the state's bureau of investigation is usually the one in charge of state law enforcement officers.
Whomever is in charge of whatever are the jurisdiction's police officers is typically the one who talks with and kinda' follows the instructions and directions of the prosecuting attorney... be it at the county or state level.
If the jurisdiction is a city or town, or the county, then the "county prosecutor" (or sometimes called the "district attorney") is the highest-ranking law enforcement officer; and if the jurisdiction is the state, then the state's Attorney General is the highest-ranking law enforcement officer.
If the jurisdiction is the federal government, then the police officers include the FBI, the DEA, ATF, ICE, NCIS, and a long list of other federal law enforcement agencies; and the prosecutor, in that case, is the US Attorney's Office, which is operated by the US Department of Justice, which is under the command of the US Attorney General... which is a Cabinet position, appointed by the President of the United States.
It's important to understand that law enforcement is separate and apart from the Court -- or judicial -- system. Law enforcement officers, under the direction (either directly or indirectly) of the prosecutor, go out and collect evidence against people whom they believe have committed crimes; and then law enforcement arrests said persons and takes them to jail.
At that point, though, the Courts -- which is the judicial system -- takes over. The prosecutor is the lawyer for law enforcement, and the lawyer for the person who was arrested is the defense attorney. In Court, the prosecuting attorney and the defense attorney battle it out in front of the judge (and usually also a jury), and then either the judge or the jury (if there is a jury), decides if the one arrested is or isn't guilty. If the one arrested isn't found guilty then s/he is set free. If s/he's found guilty, then the judge figures out what sentence s/he should have (usually a fine plus jail, or just jail, or just a fine; plus court costs).
ADDED: While SOME of the information contained above is applicable, the short and direct answer to the question is: it is THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH of government that is responsible for enforcing the law.

What is the legitimate end to a justice's term on the US Supreme Court?
Article III of the Constitution provides that justices may serve "during good behavior," effectively creating a term of office that last for life, provided the justice doesn't commit an impeachable offense. Under these conditions, you might say a justice's term "legitimately" ends with his or her death; however, justices have the right to resign or retire, which effectively ends their term on the Court.

What has indicated an improvement in the situation of minorities in Texas?
what has indicated and improvement in the situation of minorities in texas
Were you asking "... another that de-emphasizes individuality..." because that's what I'm detecting with the "in favor of."
If not, then it's an unclear question to which I have no answer, because I'm not sure what you're asking. It's a question that contradicts itself.
If so, then I know the exact question you are answering. And here's my take: it's a poorly thought out question. There is no life of complete freedom unless you want to go wander the wilderness like Bear Grylls all your life. With society as it is, everyone takes something called a "social contract." When one participates and lives in civilized parts, one does not murder and steal, and one is discouraged from being dishonest and mean. In this question, really, all lifestyles to a degree de-emphasize individuality in favor of a social unit. If you are civilized, you are not completely free.
But with questions like this, you can be lenient. You have to answer them, after all, and in a full essay nonetheless.
Me, I took it as a general, abstract thing more than literal. Say, you're a travelling musician. You have more liberties than a soldier. Say you're an officer of the law. You've less liberty than a criminal, your actions are pretty much dictated by unyielding law. You only have so far you can deviate from that, before you yourself commit crimes. Monks, socialists, soldiers, married men these are examples of people who let their own individualism go in favor of their social unit, their order, their government, their army, their family. Conversely, jobless wanderers, criminals, anarchists, college degenerates, and the bachelor life are lifestyles that emphasize freedom more than others.
Just get into detail about two such types of people and tie it back in. That is what I did.
What are the capitalist countries in the world?
Capitalism is the dominant most used form of economic system there is in the world today. Currently, over 80% of countries use capitalism, a free market, laizez-faire economy.
These countries use more of capital in the means of production, they have what is called as master class and workers class economy run by the fundamentals that commodity market. every things for themselves no need of public sector enterprises
Capitalism is an economic system controlled chiefly by individuals and private companies instead of by the government. In this system, individuals and companies own and direct most of the resources used to produce goods and services. Such resources include land and other natural resources, labor, and capital. Capital includes factories, equipment, and money used in business activities. The term capitalism comes from "capital."
Capitalism stresses private economic choices. People are free to decide how they will earn and spend their income. Companies may choose which goods and services to produce and how much to charge for them. They also compete with one another to sell products. Nations whose economy is based on capitalism includes the United States, Canada, Germany, and Japan.
To an extent. She can make her point of view clear, but she cannot enforce it upon you.
You, as a parent, have the complete right to teach your child however you see fit (provided this is legally accomplished). you also have the right not for someone else's religious view to be enforced upon you.
Both of these rights are basics of law in most of the world.
One ViewIt depends on the situation that is at hand. Is your child in her home? If not then she doesn't have the right to tell anyone what to do, unless she is the primary care giver to the child.
Another ViewA mother usually knows what is best for you and your child. I'm one of Jehovah's witnesses, so I'll try and answer you without leaning on any side. Due to our beliefs, celebrating birthdays, holidays, allowing children to engage in certain activities would be seen as inappropriate. So your mother, trying to do what she thinks is best will think that your way of raising your child is not best. But what I would suggest you do, without raising any conflicts in the family is ask her what do you think is the better way? listen to her, and then voice your opinion on the matter. if you are living with your mother in law, i would suggest that you try to abide by her rules up to a point. where it conflicts with what you believe, so just kindly state so. if you are not living with her, then you just kindly state that you don't agree with her. and you think that things will be done better this way, rather than the way she is suggesting to you. so try and work out things, in order to avoid conflict in the home. that's the last thing both you and her would want to happen.
______________________________________________________________________
Another ViewThe two of you need to sit down and talk rationally about how you each feel. I can see why she might wish to make Bible based suggestions for the benefit (in her mind) of you and your child. And I can see how you might feel that your territory as a mother is being overstepped. Keep in mind that she loves your daughter, too. Maybe some boundary lines could be drawn as to what is comfortable for you and what isn't. If you approach this from a place of mutual respect, I'm sure you can work it out.
It is my understanding that in the USA people are free to express their opinions. . So why does this mother think she has to obey her mother-in-law? Something is missing in this question?
Edit: She'll voice her opinions because she will say what she believes is right. Of course, while she cannot tell the child to do certain things, she can advise her grandchild. As your son/daughter gets older, your mother in law will advise him/her even more. If you have a problem with what she says, I'd suggest you sit with her and discuss it in a peaceful manner. Remember if you keep calm and cool you can show her your point of view and listen to hers. Remember although you may not agree with her, she will have some influence over the child. Many persons live in religiously divided homes. Usually the children follow the religion of their father or if he is not really religious or present the religion of their mother. Just talk to her like a rational thinking adult and you will be fine.
