Why do you think people in middle and high school are so critical of what others do and appear? What’s the solution?

I think we are raised to be this way. With our parents actions, and all the media, it is very easy for us to be influenced. there is also many body standards which is a huge problem. From a young age we are taught what is pretty, and what is "not". And there is always adult influence who will complain abt themselves, getting it into your mind that that's bad. then when we see peers, we are insecure abt ourselves, and are quick to judge them. just to bring ourselves up. the solution would to be more accepting of everyone, and to abolish body standards.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
