 1. Summary

Political governance involves how groups make social and economic decisions, present not only in civil governments but also in various human interactions, including businesses and religious institutions. It encompasses social relationships involving authority or power, the regulation of political entities, and methods for formulating and implementing social policies. Political power allows groups to manage public resources, extending beyond national leaders to individuals or groups with varying degrees of influence. Authority, often synonymous with power, denotes the legitimacy and right to exercise power. Governmental authority typically rests on the use of political violence, reinforcing its claim to power. Monarchy is a form of government where supreme power is vested in an individual, while democracy is governance by a majority of citizens, with principles of equality and freedom. The widening ideological gap in the United States, exacerbated by media bias, has led to political polarization, demographic shifts, and a shift in trust from national to local sources. This polarization and distrust could pose challenges to democratic governance, especially with the influence of biased media.

2. Interesting point.                                                                  The analysis of political polarization and media bias in the United States highlights contemporary challenges to democratic governance, emphasizing the importance of trust and media integrity in maintaining democratic institutions.Understanding the escalating ideological divide and its impact on institutional trust provides valuable insights into social dynamics, as well as the potential consequences of political polarization on social cohesion.

3. Question

The article mentions the challenge of political polarization to democratic governance, but a key question is how we should address these challenges? What reforms can strengthen the democratic system, enhance government transparency, and improve efficiency?

1. Summary Scientific method is a method of acquiring knowledge, a systematic mode of thinking and a means of research, which is used to solve problems, explore laws and test theories. The key processes include observing phenomena, constructing hypotheses, planning experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and summarizing conclusions. The scientific method focuses on proof and repeatability, using experiments and observations to test hypotheses during research, and adjusting or confirming theories based on data. 2. Mention of new, interesting The debate between postmodernism and modernism has been going on for a long time, and they have done a lot of research to carry out this debate. Although this problem has been solved with the efforts of scientists, it also shows that the development of anything is not static, and only continuous exploration can make better progress. 3. Discussion As the scientific method has evolved over the centuries to become authoritative, are there othe

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories. About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha
