What distinguishes an authoritarian government from a democratic one?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Explanation:  The essential difference is that the democratic government is elected by the citizens, it is mostly an indirect so-called representative democracy. In such a state the government is in the service of the citizens and through the government the will of the citizens is expressed, individualism, the right to freedom and property are emphasised. Citizens in a regular election can change the government, so it is changeable and expresses the will of the people.

In an authoritarian state, the so-called government is subordinate to an authority that governs, abolish democratic rights, elections are conducted, but one knows roughly who will win, such elections serve to say that they are conducted and nothing more. This authority is one ruler with absolute authority, a dictator, and he subordinates all forms of government to himself. So it is a centralised government, usually assisted by a militia or army, and all other institutions that are supposed to work for the good of the people are abolished or have a parade role.

it's better for family members to pretend the problems don't exist

children need to take on certain parenting roles to help out

parents need to move the family to avoid the problems

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is that sometimes outside help is needed by a family in order to get them through the struggles that are making them stress so much.

Explanation:

Stress is probably one of the most difficult factors that can affect an individual, or a group of people, such as a family. In normal levels, stress can help a family to be on their feet, to remain active in seeking solutions to the problems that are affecting them. However, stress can become overwhelming at times, which indicates that the individual, or in this case a family, are not being successful in handling the factors that are triggering such high levels of stress. It is also a fact that such high stress can harm individual health and can cause serious problems to affective relationships. This is why, when it is too high, a family may need to seek people who can be objective with problems and help them seek the best solutions to solve the issues that are generating the stress.

A) outside help is needed to get the family through the struggle
