"Shooting an Elephant", an essay by George Orwell describes an inner conflict brought on by oppression from Imperial Britain. Orwell states allegiance to the people of Burma and his opposition to the powers he embodies as an imperial police office, the face of the British Empire. "In a job like that you see the dirty work of Empire at close quarters." explains His feelings about his work and his position. This previews and showcases the inner conflict he faces when tasked with shooting the elephant and subsequently supporting and serving said oppressors (Imperial British Empire).

George Washington Plunkett, member of Tammany Hall Political Machine, 1905
"Everybody is talking these days about Tammany men growing rich on graft, but nobody thinks of drawing the distinctions between honest graft and dishonest graft. There is all the difference in the world between the two. Yes, many of our men have grown rich in politics. I have myself. I have made a fortune out of the game... but I have not gone in for dishonest graft; blackmailing gamblers, saloon keepers, etc... Just let me explain by example. My part is in power in the city and I get a tip that they are going to lay out a new park at a certain place... well, I go to that place and buy up all the land I
can get in that neighborhood. Then the board makes its plan public and there is a rush to get my land. Aint it perfectly honest to charge a good price and makes a profit on my investment and
foresight? Of course it is. Well, that is honest graft."
Complete the following two tasks:
(A) Explain how Plunkett's "honest graft" is destructive to society; give historical examples.
(B) What are two ways progressives fought this brand of corruption and explain if these approaches
worked or failed.
Explanation:
DONT CLICK ON THE LINK IT IS A VIRUS REPORT IT INSTEAD
Plunkett's "honest graft" is destructive to society in several ways. First, it allows politicians to use their position of power to enrich themselves and their associates, often at the expense of taxpayers.
A. In the example given by Plunkett, he used his insider knowledge to purchase land before it became public knowledge that the park would be built there. This allowed him to make a profit by selling the land at an inflated price to those who needed it for the park project
B. Progressives fought against this brand of corruption in a number of ways. One approach was to advocate for greater transparency and accountability in government.
Progressives argued that by making government more open and responsive to the public, it would be harder for politicians to engage in corrupt practices like "honest graft.

Which of the following core values are involved in the national debate regarding the surveillance program referred to in this scenario?
A) Liberty versus stability and order
B) Majority rule versus minority rights
c) States' rights versus federal authority
D) Common good versus freedom of expression
Answer: A) Liberty versus stability and order
Explanation:
Scenario not attached but this should be the correct answer.
In the debate about surveillance in the United States, the principles of liberty and stability and law and order seem to always clash. The bone of contention is that people should have the liberty to live life as they want without worrying about the government snooping on them.
The principle of stability and order however, calls for surveillance so that behavior that is not in the best interests of the country can be curbed.
For this reason, these two principles keep clashing in reference to surveillance.

Answer:
Karen has a total amount of $ 101
Maria has a total amount of $ 86
Explanation:
We'll begin by obtaining an expression for the total amount of money in Karen's account. This can be obtained as follow:
Let the number of weeks be x
Let the total amount be y
Karen deposited $ 28 when she opened the account and then deposit $ 5 weekly.
The total amount in x week can be written as:
y = 28 + 5x
For Maria, the total amount in x week is given by:
y = 8x + 7
Next, we shall determine the number of weeks in which they both have the same amount in their account.
For Karen's account, the total amount is:
y = 28 + 5x
For Maria's account, the total amount is:
y = 8x + 7
Total in Karen's = Total in Maraia's
28 + 5x = 8x + 7
Collect like terms
28 – 7 = 8x – 5x
21 = 3x
Divide both side by 3
x = 21/3
x = 7
Thus, they both have the same amount in the 7th week.
Next, we shall determine the total amount in each account in the 7th week. This is illustrated below:
For Karen's account,
y = 28 + 5x
x = 7
y = 28 + 5(7)
y = 28 + 35
y = $ 63
For Maria's account,
y = 8x + 7
x = 7
y = 8(7) + 7
y = 56 + 7
y = $ 63
Finally, we shall determine the total amount in each account 2 weeks after they have the same amount in their account. This is illustrated below:
For Karen's account,
y = 28 + 5x
x = 2
y = 28 + 5(2)
y = 28 + 10
y = $ 38
Total amount = 63 + 38 = $ 101
For Maria's account,
y = 8x + 7
x = 2
y = 8(2) + 7
y = 16 + 7
y = $ 23
Total amount = 63 + 23 = $ 86
SUMMARY:
Karen has a total amount of $ 101
Maria has a total amount of $ 86

With the exception of Hawaii, the map shows the pattern of production for coffee beans by country. If the map was reproduced at the subnational state or provincial scale, as Hawaii is on the map, what changes in pattern would be expected in other parts of the world?
a. the inland provinces of African countries would not show any production
b. southeast Asian islands would notnshow any production
c. the states in northern Mexico and northern India would not show any production
d. the amazon basin and congo basin would not show concentrated areas of production
e. provinces in southern China would not show concentrated areas of production
Answer: C, The states in northern Mexico and northern India would not show any production. *
Explanation: Both the southern states of Mexico and India are known to produce coffee and I believe that their northern states produce little to no coffee. Additionally, East Africa and Southeast Asia are major producers of coffee beans so A and B are inaccurate.*
*This answer is not by any means entirely correct and is my own assumption but if you do a little research on the coffee production of Mexico and India, you will find that their southern states are often mentioned, and more so than their northern states.
