“La ley de garantías electorales promueve el ejercicio equitativo y transparente de la democracia representativa y está diseñado para asegurar que la contienda democrática se cumpla en condiciones igualitarias y transparentes para los electores.
Su propósito es afianzar la neutralidad de los servidores públicos que organizan y supervisan las disputas electorales y que tanto los candidatos como los electores, aprovechen en igualdad de condiciones los recursos ofrecidos por el Estado, de manera que la voluntad popular se exprese sin obstrucciones de ningún tipo y la decisión del pueblo se vea reflejada en la persona elegida para ocupar el cargo de autoridad que se disputa.
En ese contexto, la ley establece unas restricciones al ejercicio de la función gubernamental como garantía del equilibrio y la transparencia del actuar administrativo en medio del debate electoral, evitando que la nómina estatal o la contratación directa se utilicen como medio para la campaña electoral para favorecer a uno o varios candidatos.”

Desde finales de los años 70, la movilidad y los trancones en Bogotá han sido el pan de cada dia. Con la expansión de la ciudad y un ordenamiento territorial precario, nunca se previó que la población capitalina fuera adquirir vehículo en un futuro. Es por ello que no se proyectaron vías y autopistas suficientes.
Con la llegada de las restricciones en movilidad a finales de los 90, la opción de adquirir un nuevo vehículo fue llamativa entre la gente. Esto ocasionó que el Pico y Placa fuese ineficiente en su momento. Luego de esto, con la llegada de la medida todo el día, el escape para los bogotanos fue la compra de motos.
Finalmente, al revertir la restricción todo el día, se dio una zona de “placebo” para la movilidad en la ciudad donde la compra de vehículo se dio por renovación del parque automotor, más no por necesidad. Durante este tiempo no hubo mejoras en la malla vial o aumento de vías. Esto fue una bomba de tiempo a futuro, que hoy ha estallado.

Esta medida ha sido foco de muchas opiniones por un lado se encuentran las personas A, que creen que esta medida es la mejor en tanto hace que las mujeres se sientan cómodas en sus viajes cotidianos y proponen que se abran más espacios públicos donde haya un espacio específico de solo mujeres , y por otro lado se encuentran las personas B las cuales afirman que esto no soluciona nada, pues más allá del acoso en los buses y el metro hay muchos otros espacios inseguros para las mujeres y crear este tipo de políticas no soluciona nada de raíz y en cambio genera una brecha más grande entre hombres y mujeres.
Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, ¿cuál de las dos posturas expuestas en el enunciado es la más razonable?

En los últimos años miles de habitantes de una comunidad han sido desplazados por conflictos económicos dentro de sus territorios y un abandono del estado, como consecuencia la comunidad indígena se ha asentado en diferentes puntos del país, uno de ellos es el parque nacional en la ciudad de Bogotá. Algunos habitantes del sector piden al gobierno nacional que tome cartas en el asunto, ya que el tenerlos ahí genera una mala imagen al sector, pues la situación en la que viven el parque es precaria.
Señalan que las formas de vida que tienen son demasiado diferentes pues ellos son personas de campo, por lo tanto, no educadas por lo tanto es imposible una relación con ellos, ya que ni siquiera hablan bien el español.

El debate en Colombia sobre la despenalización del aborto con el fin de brindarles garantías a las mujeres durante y después del proceso. El proyecto de ley aún se encuentra en un gran debate, puesto que algunos senadores están en contra de la despenalización y proponen, en cambio, procesos de sensibilización para las mujeres jóvenes en espacios como colegios, universidades y barrios. Por otro lado, hay posiciones más radicales, que se niegan rotundamente al aborto y piden que estos procesos sean mucho más regulados con el fin de que a este procedimiento no pueda acceder cualquier mujer, pues no está bien.

“La Constitución Política de 1991, en su artículo 267, establece que: “El control fiscal es una función pública que ejercerá la Contraloría General de la República, la cual vigila la gestión fiscal de la administración y de los particulares o entidades que manejan fondos o bienes de la Nación”. En la Carta Política, el control fiscal a la gestión pública pasó de ser previo y perceptivo, a posterior y selectivo. No obstante, el nuevo enfoque del control permite la aplicación de un control de advertencia o de prevención, para que el administrador público conozca en tiempo real las inconsistencias detectadas por la Contraloría y, mediante la aplicación de un control de corrección, proceda a subsanarlas, con lo cual lograremos entidades más eficientes y eficaces, cumpliendo con el fin último del control que es el mejoramiento continuo de las entidades públicas. Actualmente, la entidad cuenta con una planta de personal de 4.057 cargos de los cuales 3.934 son cargos de carrera administrativa y 123 son de libre nombramiento y remoción. Los cargos en todo el país tienen su sistema de carrera administrativa especial plenamente desarrollado y aplicado.”

Carnot estudió las máquinas térmicas, que aprovechan la energía térmica para producir energía mecánica de forma eficiente y reversible. Para ello se toma calor de un foco caliente, una fuente de temperatura máxima (Tc) y se vierte el calor de desecho en el foco frío, situado como Tf, obteniendo como diferencia de estas, la producción energía mecánica conocida como trabajo (W).
Al ser un ciclo reversible, podemos invertir cada uno de los procesos y convertir la máquina de Carnot en un refrigerador. Este refrigerador extrae una cierta cantidad de calor (Qf) del foco frío, requiriendo para ello una cierta cantidad de trabajo (W) tomada de la energía eléctrica pagada, arrojando una cantidad de calor (Qc) en el foco caliente.

La polución causada por la instalación de fábricas a principios del siglo XIX en Inglaterra hizo que las polillas Biston betularia, que hasta entonces eran de color claro, cambiaran a una coloración negra como se ve en a imagen. Durante décadas, los científicos habían visto este súbito cambio de color como un ejemplo clásico de la evolución por selección natural. Gracias a un minucioso análisis del ADN de las polillas, ahora se sabe que el cambio ocurrió gracias a un transposón, un elemento que puede cambiar de lugar en una secuencia de ADN de manera autónoma generando cambios en la apariencia de los seres vivos.

Early Humans May Have Hibernated Through Long Winters, Study Hints
While many of us might long to just sleep through this entire winter, humans – unlike a lot of other mammals – don’t have the capacity to hibernate.
But a newly published study has investigated if early humans had this ability at some point. The results – although preliminary – surprisingly suggest that they did, even if they weren’t great at it.
When a bear wakes up from its extended torpor (a type of energy-conserving sleep state often used synonymously with hibernation), sleepy and ready for a feed, their bones and muscles will be relatively the same as they were before, spared from the body’s self-feeding frenzy over the winter.
Bears have specialised metabolic processes to protect them from this extended slumber, but sometimes this process doesn’t quite go to plan. For example, animals can end up with a host of diseases post-hibernation if they don’t get enough food reserves before they go down for the winter.
“We have to emphasise that hibernations are not always healthy,” paleoanthropologists Antonis Bartsiokas and Juan-Luis Arsuaga write in their new paper.
“Hibernators may suffer from rickets, hyperparathyroidism, and osteitis fibrosa if they do not possess sufficient fat reserves. These diseases are all expressions of renal osteodystrophy consistent with chronic kidney disease.”
The researchers believe this may have been the fate of some human ancestors whose remains were discovered in a Spanish cave called Sima de los Huesos – the chasm of bones. This deep shaft in the Cave Mayor of Sierra de Atapuerca is home to an incredible number of fossils, with archaeologists having discovered thousands of hominin skeletal remains that are around 430,000 years old.
This is long before Homo sapiens walked the Earth, and although there’s some debate about which human ancestor the fossils are from, at least some are H. heidelbergensis.
Working out if human ancestors once possessed a form of a hibernation-like state thousands of years after the fact sounds like an impossible task, but the team thinks they have found some tell-tale marks on the fossils.
“The evidence of annual healing caused by non-tolerated hibernation in adolescent individuals [points] to the presence of annually intermittent puberty in this population,” the researchers write, explaining that other signs of vitamin D deficiency from lack of exposure to sunlight are evident in bone defects like the ‘rotten fence post sign’.
“The hypothesis of hibernation is consistent with the genetic evidence and the fact that the Sima de los Huesos hominins lived during a glacial period.”
The idea is that these ancient hominins might have been trying to sleep through the colder months, and so their bones show the scars of months of sleeping without enough fat stores, a lack of vitamin D, and – in teenagers – weird seasonal growth spurts.
Before we can claim that human ancestors once did indeed hibernate, we have to remember that this research is very preliminary. Even the researchers themselves admit that this sounds a bit like “science fiction”.
“While many questions about their life histories and metabolism are still open, there is no doubt as to the immense consequences that hibernation has for hominin/human physiology and life history,” they write.
“The notion that humans can undergo a hypometabolic state analogous to hibernation may sound like science fiction but the fact that hibernation is used by very primitive mammals and primates, suggests that the genetic basis and physiology for such a hypometabolism could be preserved in many mammalian species including humans.”
We will need a lot more info before we can confirm if these ancient human ancestors were indeed hibernating, and if it was the case, how human species ended up losing the ability entirely.
“It is a very interesting argument and it will certainly stimulate debate,” forensic anthropologist Patrick Randolph-Quinney of Northumbria University told Robin McKie at The Guardian.
“However, there are other explanations for the variations seen in the bones found in Sima and these have to be addressed fully before we can come to any realistic conclusions.”

Early Humans May Have Hibernated Through Long Winters, Study Hints
While many of us might long to just sleep through this entire winter, humans – unlike a lot of other mammals – don’t have the capacity to hibernate.
But a newly published study has investigated if early humans had this ability at some point. The results – although preliminary – surprisingly suggest that they did, even if they weren’t great at it.
When a bear wakes up from its extended torpor (a type of energy-conserving sleep state often used synonymously with hibernation), sleepy and ready for a feed, their bones and muscles will be relatively the same as they were before, spared from the body’s self-feeding frenzy over the winter.
Bears have specialised metabolic processes to protect them from this extended slumber, but sometimes this process doesn’t quite go to plan. For example, animals can end up with a host of diseases post-hibernation if they don’t get enough food reserves before they go down for the winter.
“We have to emphasise that hibernations are not always healthy,” paleoanthropologists Antonis Bartsiokas and Juan-Luis Arsuaga write in their new paper.
“Hibernators may suffer from rickets, hyperparathyroidism, and osteitis fibrosa if they do not possess sufficient fat reserves. These diseases are all expressions of renal osteodystrophy consistent with chronic kidney disease.”
The researchers believe this may have been the fate of some human ancestors whose remains were discovered in a Spanish cave called Sima de los Huesos – the chasm of bones. This deep shaft in the Cave Mayor of Sierra de Atapuerca is home to an incredible number of fossils, with archaeologists having discovered thousands of hominin skeletal remains that are around 430,000 years old.
This is long before Homo sapiens walked the Earth, and although there’s some debate about which human ancestor the fossils are from, at least some are H. heidelbergensis.
Working out if human ancestors once possessed a form of a hibernation-like state thousands of years after the fact sounds like an impossible task, but the team thinks they have found some tell-tale marks on the fossils.
“The evidence of annual healing caused by non-tolerated hibernation in adolescent individuals [points] to the presence of annually intermittent puberty in this population,” the researchers write, explaining that other signs of vitamin D deficiency from lack of exposure to sunlight are evident in bone defects like the ‘rotten fence post sign’.
“The hypothesis of hibernation is consistent with the genetic evidence and the fact that the Sima de los Huesos hominins lived during a glacial period.”
The idea is that these ancient hominins might have been trying to sleep through the colder months, and so their bones show the scars of months of sleeping without enough fat stores, a lack of vitamin D, and – in teenagers – weird seasonal growth spurts.
Before we can claim that human ancestors once did indeed hibernate, we have to remember that this research is very preliminary. Even the researchers themselves admit that this sounds a bit like “science fiction”.
“While many questions about their life histories and metabolism are still open, there is no doubt as to the immense consequences that hibernation has for hominin/human physiology and life history,” they write.
“The notion that humans can undergo a hypometabolic state analogous to hibernation may sound like science fiction but the fact that hibernation is used by very primitive mammals and primates, suggests that the genetic basis and physiology for such a hypometabolism could be preserved in many mammalian species including humans.”

Covid-19 makes online learning the way forward in education
KUALA LUMPUR: As the year 2020 comes to an end, the country has seen an unprecedented change to the dynamic and culture of education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, causing schools and varsities to halt operation at certain period.
The situation has ‘forced’ millions of students across the country to fully utilise their laptops or devices and start learning from home via online. The question for us now is: “Is Malaysia’s education ready for the new era of learning?”
Nonetheless, the result of the pandemic has implied the importance of technology in transforming how we teach and learn, at the same time highlighting that there is room for improvement, especially for internet connectivity.
The first wave of Covid-19 infection started on Jan 24, with the identification of 22 cases, of which 12 had a travel history to affected countries and regions, eight cases were close contacts and two were from a humanitarian mission.
On Jan 30, the Education Ministry (MoE) had postponed the registration of students from Wuhan, China and its surrounding areas at all educational institutions in the country.
As the second wave hit the country on Feb 27, MoE had directed the postponement of all large gatherings such as sports programmes and co-curricular activities in all schools across the country, with effect from March 13.
The government later imposed the Movement Control Order (MCO) nationwide on March 18 leading to the closure of all pre-schools, government and private schools including daily schools, residential schools, international schools, tahfiz centres and other primary, secondary and pre-university institutions as well as colleges and institutions of higher learning.
With all schools shut down, teachers were advised to make online teaching the way forward, besides determining the best teaching and learning methods based on the constraints and situations faced by students at home during the MCO.
However, there were limitations pertaining to online teaching and home-based learning as the findings of an MoE survey, involving 670,000 parents and about 900,000 pupils showed that only six per cent of students had personal computers, tablets (5.76 per cent), laptops (nine per cent) and smartphones (46 per cent), while 36.9 per cent of students do not have as many devices.
Senator Dr Radzi Jidin, who headed the ministry starting March 10, said it was important for teachers to take into account the constraints faced by students at home in determining the methods to be used to implement the teaching and learning process at home.
As lockdowns ease and daily Covid-19 cases were going down, after months of ‘school holidays’, secondary schools across the country finally reopened their doors on June 24 for students sitting for public examinations this year, namely Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), Sijil Vokasional Malaysia (SVM), Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) and equivalent examinations.
Form One to Form Four and Remove Class students as well as Standard Five and Six pupils, returned to school starting July 15, while Standard One to Four pupils on July 22.
The government has also decided to move the dates for SPM, SVM and STAM to Feb 22, 2021; while STPM would be held on March 8, 2021. The Form Three Assessment (PT3) and Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), as well as Kafa Class Assessment Test (UPKK) examinations, have been cancelled this year.
Unfortunately, concerned parents felt the decision was made in a rush and they feared Covid-19 cases would spike once schools reopened.
Parents’ nightmare turned reality. As the third wave of Covid-19 hit the country in late September after Sabah election, the government abruptly announced on Nov 8 (Sunday) that schools and vocational colleges would close starting the next day (Nov 9) until the end of the 2020 academic calendar year.
As for the tertiary education students both in private and public institutions, the Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) announced that all lectures must be conducted purely online, with no face-to-face lessons allowed, starting May 27 until Dec 31.
The announcement has led university students to grasp on online learning as the new normal, hence, many of them requested for the fees to be reduced, as they no longer fully utilising the university facilities.
Taking into consideration the feedbacks and complaints from students and parents whose household income was badly affected by the pandemic, Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad announced the hostel and service fees at all public universities for the second semester of the 2019/2020 academic session had been reduced by up to 15 per cent.
The move involved a total allocation of RM72 million, of which RM20 million was approved by the Ministry of Finance and the other RM52 million will be from the internal allocation of the universities.
For 2020, the education sector in Malaysia has seen a paradigm shift in teaching and learning process and shaping the community for the new normal, with the technology dependence has massively increased, not just for students, but also for lecturers, teachers and all of the people involved in the institution.

The government later imposed the Movement Control Order (MCO) nationwide on March 18 leading to the closure of all pre-schools, government and private schools including daily schools, residential schools, international schools, tahfiz centres and other primary, secondary and pre-university institutions as well as colleges and institutions of higher learning.
With all schools shut down, teachers were advised to make online teaching the way forward, besides determining the best teaching and learning methods based on the constraints and situations faced by students at home during the MCO.
However, there were limitations pertaining to online teaching and home-based learning as the findings of an MoE survey, involving 670,000 parents and about 900,000 pupils showed that only six per cent of students had personal computers, tablets (5.76 per cent), laptops (nine per cent) and smartphones (46 per cent), while 36.9 per cent of students do not have as many devices.
Senator Dr Radzi Jidin, who headed the ministry starting March 10, said it was important for teachers to take into account the constraints faced by students at home in determining the methods to be used to implement the teaching and learning process at home.
As lockdowns ease and daily Covid-19 cases were going down, after months of ‘school holidays’, secondary schools across the country finally reopened their doors on June 24 for students sitting for public examinations this year, namely Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), Sijil Vokasional Malaysia (SVM), Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM), Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) and equivalent examinations.
Form One to Form Four and Remove Class students as well as Standard Five and Six pupils, returned to school starting July 15, while Standard One to Four pupils on July 22.
The government has also decided to move the dates for SPM, SVM and STAM to Feb 22, 2021; while STPM would be held on March 8, 2021. The Form Three Assessment (PT3) and Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR), as well as Kafa Class Assessment Test (UPKK) examinations, have been cancelled this year.
Unfortunately, concerned parents felt the decision was made in a rush and they feared Covid-19 cases would spike once schools reopened.
Parents’ nightmare turned reality. As the third wave of Covid-19 hit the country in late September after Sabah election, the government abruptly announced on Nov 8 (Sunday) that schools and vocational colleges would close starting the next day (Nov 9) until the end of the 2020 academic calendar year.
As for the tertiary education students both in private and public institutions, the Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) announced that all lectures must be conducted purely online, with no face-to-face lessons allowed, starting May 27 until Dec 31.
The announcement has led university students to grasp on online learning as the new normal, hence, many of them requested for the fees to be reduced, as they no longer fully utilising the university facilities.
Taking into consideration the feedbacks and complaints from students and parents whose household income was badly affected by the pandemic, Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad announced the hostel and service fees at all public universities for the second semester of the 2019/2020 academic session had been reduced by up to 15 per cent.
The move involved a total allocation of RM72 million, of which RM20 million was approved by the Ministry of Finance and the other RM52 million will be from the internal allocation of the universities.
For 2020, the education sector in Malaysia has seen a paradigm shift in teaching and learning process and shaping the community for the new normal, with the technology dependence has massively increased, not just for students, but also for lecturers, teachers and all of the people involved in the institution.

Covid-19 makes online learning the way forward in education
KUALA LUMPUR: As the year 2020 comes to an end, the country has seen an unprecedented change to the dynamic and culture of education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, causing schools and varsities to halt operation at certain period.
The situation has ‘forced’ millions of students across the country to fully utilise their laptops or devices and start learning from home via online. The question for us now is: “Is Malaysia’s education ready for the new era of learning?”
Nonetheless, the result of the pandemic has implied the importance of technology in transforming how we teach and learn, at the same time highlighting that there is room for improvement, especially for internet connectivity.
The first wave of Covid-19 infection started on Jan 24, with the identification of 22 cases, of which 12 had a travel history to affected countries and regions, eight cases were close contacts and two were from a humanitarian mission.

Log Cabins and the White House
Bill Clinton’s father – a man the former president (1) _________ – was a truck driver who (2) _________ son nothing but his nationality and his family name. Bill spent his early years in a small wooden one-story house in the small town of Hope, Arkansas, the kind of house in which millions of ordinary working-class Americans still live. In a sense, it is the (3) ______ one can get today to the fabled “log cabin” in which so many American heroes are fabled to (4) ___________.
Since the start of the nineteenth century, candidates for the American presidency (5) ________ pride in demonstrating their humble roots; the image of the “log cabin” became symbolic of humble proletarian origins, at a time when the United States were beginning to move west and occupy new territory, and home-built log cabins were the only form of housing available for the pioneering homesteaders.
Abraham Lincoln
Yet the only American president who could truthfully claim (6)______________ in a log cabin was Abraham Lincoln, who was born in just such a building on a farm in Hardin County, Kentucky.
The story of Abraham Lincoln’s childhood is one of the great classics of the American Dream; Lincoln (7) _________ childhood years in a variety of log cabins, as his father moved from place to place, advancing slowly westwards. In the winter of 1816-17, the Lincolns lived in a “half-faced camp”, a log cabin which was totally open on one side, in an “unbroken forest” in the heart of almost uninhabited Indiana.
While quite a few other American presidents have come up from humble roots, some others whose roots were somewhat more privileged have willingly disguised the fact.
The classic example was William Harrison, who was elected president in 1840. Harrison campaigned for the presidency using a specially-written theme tune called the Log Cabin March; indeed, his whole campaign was won with the slogan “log cabin and hard cider”…. but the tune and slogan were just marketing gambits, neither of which had anything to do with reality! Harrison, whose father was one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence, came from a prosperous New England family, and was bought up in a palatial home in Virginia.
Ironically, Harrison’s attempts to portray himself as a tough man of the people got him nowhere; standing with neither hat nor coat during his inauguration ceremony on a bitter winter’s day in 1841, he (8) ______ pneumonia and (9) _____ a month later.
In more recent times, Jimmy Carter, the Democratic president from 1977 to 1981, was also portrayed as a “country boy”, and was popularly known as the peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia. The fact that he was actually the owner of a (10) _______ and prosperous farm and a string of family businesses, rather than a simple homesteader, was often conveniently forgotten by those who wanted the president to seem like a simple man with simple roots.
Then in the year 2000, the man who (11) ______ as the 43rd American president was not someone who had come from nowhere and made it to the top by his own skills and determination, but a man from a very privileged background. George Bush Jr. came from an illustrious family background, being the son of President George Bush Sr., and grandson of a US senator….. the US equivalent of royalty.
Naturally, there are many people in America who yearn nostalgically for a return to old ways; but in today’s mediatized world, where image is everything, and money (12) ____ the time and the TV and social media ads without which images cannot be built, it is hard to imagine the clock being put back. Besides, although many poor Americans still live in small wooden houses, few of those who do go on to become politicians. The age of the log-cabin-raised president is definitely over.

Log Cabins and the White House
Bill Clinton’s father – a man the former president (1) _________ – was a truck driver who (2) _________ son nothing but his nationality and his family name. Bill spent his early years in a small wooden one-story house in the small town of Hope, Arkansas, the kind of house in which millions of ordinary working-class Americans still live. In a sense, it is the (3) ______ one can get today to the fabled “log cabin” in which so many American heroes are fabled to (4) ___________.
Since the start of the nineteenth century, candidates for the American presidency (5) ________ pride in demonstrating their humble roots; the image of the “log cabin” became symbolic of humble proletarian origins, at a time when the United States were beginning to move west and occupy new territory, and home-built log cabins were the only form of housing available for the pioneering homesteaders.
Abraham Lincoln
Yet the only American president who could truthfully claim (6)______________ in a log cabin was Abraham Lincoln, who was born in just such a building on a farm in Hardin County, Kentucky.
The story of Abraham Lincoln’s childhood is one of the great classics of the American Dream; Lincoln (7) _________ childhood years in a variety of log cabins, as his father moved from place to place, advancing slowly westwards. In the winter of 1816-17, the Lincolns lived in a “half-faced camp”, a log cabin which was totally open on one side, in an “unbroken forest” in the heart of almost uninhabited Indiana.
While quite a few other American presidents have come up from humble roots, some others whose roots were somewhat more privileged have willingly disguised the fact.
The classic example was William Harrison, who was elected president in 1840. Harrison campaigned for the presidency using a specially-written theme tune called the Log Cabin March; indeed, his whole campaign was won with the slogan “log cabin and hard cider”…. but the tune and slogan were just marketing gambits, neither of which had anything to do with reality! Harrison, whose father was one of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence, came from a prosperous New England family, and was bought up in a palatial home in Virginia.
Ironically, Harrison’s attempts to portray himself as a tough man of the people got him nowhere; standing with neither hat nor coat during his inauguration ceremony on a bitter winter’s day in 1841, he (8) ______ pneumonia and (9) _____ a month later.
In more recent times, Jimmy Carter, the Democratic president from 1977 to 1981, was also portrayed as a “country boy”, and was popularly known as the peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia. The fact that he was actually the owner of a (10) _______ and prosperous farm and a string of family businesses, rather than a simple homesteader, was often conveniently forgotten by those who wanted the president to seem like a simple man with simple roots.
Then in the year 2000, the man who (11) ______ as the 43rd American president was not someone who had come from nowhere and made it to the top by his own skills and determination, but a man from a very privileged background. George Bush Jr. came from an illustrious family background, being the son of President George Bush Sr., and grandson of a US senator….. the US equivalent of royalty.
