Answer Details
The way Chief Jeunkoku can evade sanction is if there is a weak and compromised judiciary. This means that the system of justice is not functioning effectively, and may be easily influenced or controlled by powerful individuals or groups. Without a fair and impartial judiciary to enforce the rule of law and uphold the constitution, there is little to prevent Chief Jeunkoku from avoiding consequences for his actions. On the other hand, the presence of checks and balances, the operational principle of rule of law, and the supremacy of the constitution all help to ensure that those in power are held accountable for their actions and that justice is served.

Answer Details
Membership of an organization associated with secrecy of operations in society can be an indication of cultism. A cult is defined as a social group defined by its religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, and characterized by its extreme devotion to its leader and/or ideology. Cults often operate in secret and may have strict rules and codes of conduct for members, which can lead to a sense of isolation and disconnection from the outside world. Members may be discouraged from talking about their involvement in the group or sharing information about its activities, which can contribute to a sense of secrecy. It is important to note that not all organizations that operate in secrecy are cults, and that many legitimate organizations may have a need for confidentiality for various reasons. However, if an organization's secrecy seems excessive and is combined with other warning signs, such as controlling behavior by leadership or a sense of manipulation or brainwashing among members, it may be worth considering the possibility of cult involvement.

Answer Details
Cultism is usually not associated with academic excellence. Cultism, also known as secret cults or fraternities, often involves violent and criminal activities, such as intimidation, harassment, and even murder. Members of these cults often prioritize loyalty to their group over their academic pursuits, and may engage in activities that are detrimental to their academic success. In fact, involvement in cultism can often lead to rustication (expulsion) from school, stigmatization from the wider community, and even spiritual problems. Therefore, academic excellence is not usually associated with cultism, as the two are often seen as incompatible.

Answer Details

Therefore, the aim of those engaged in the activity is likely to obtain relevant skills and develop their interpersonal skills in the process of creating the baskets. Weaving or braiding baskets requires a great deal of skill and attention to detail, and it's a traditional art form that has been passed down through generations in many cultures. By engaging in this activity, individuals can learn and improve their skills in basket weaving or braiding, which they can then use to create baskets for personal use or to sell as a source of extra income. Furthermore, basket weaving or braiding is often done in groups, which provides an opportunity for individuals to socialize and develop their interpersonal skills as they work together to create the baskets. Overall, the activity captured in the image is likely to be a way for individuals to engage in a traditional craft, develop their skills, and socialize with others.

Answer Details
Politically enlightened people may still feel discouraged in the political affairs of their society because of political "marginalization". Marginalization refers to the exclusion or neglect of a certain group of people from mainstream political activities and decision-making processes. Even if someone is politically knowledgeable and aware, they may feel powerless and discouraged if they belong to a marginalized group and are not given equal opportunities to participate in politics. They may feel like their voices and opinions are not being heard, which can lead to a sense of disillusionment and apathy towards politics.

Answer Details
A ban on public lectures and symposiums is against the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. Freedom of peaceful assembly and association is a fundamental human right that allows individuals to gather together for a common purpose or interest. This right includes the freedom to attend public lectures and symposiums, as well as to organize and participate in peaceful protests, demonstrations, and other forms of assembly. A ban on public lectures and symposiums would prevent people from exercising this right, and would be a violation of their freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

Answer Details
The statement is asking for an option that does NOT facilitate political participation. In this case, the correct answer would be "engaging in moral upliftment." Engaging in moral upliftment does not directly contribute to political participation as it focuses more on personal values and behavior rather than political action. On the other hand, the other options listed - fostering political stability, enhancing the dividends of democracy, and influencing the direction of government policies - are all factors that can encourage and facilitate political participation.

Answer Details
A major reason that fosters healthy interpersonal relationships is having common goals. When people have shared objectives, they are able to work together towards a common purpose, which can strengthen their bond and create a positive dynamic. Having common goals can also help to resolve conflicts that may arise, as individuals are able to see the bigger picture and understand each other's perspectives. Additionally, working together towards a shared goal can also create a sense of teamwork and camaraderie, which can further enhance the relationship. It is important to note that other factors, such as open communication, mutual respect, and trust, are also important in fostering healthy relationships. While having common goals is a key component, it is only one part of a larger picture.
Question 23 Report

Answer Details
Orderliness in society can be best guaranteed when all citizens obey rules and regulations, respect others, and are aware of the consequences of violating the laws. When citizens follow the established laws and regulations, they contribute to creating a peaceful and harmonious environment where everyone can thrive. Respect for others and their rights helps to prevent conflicts and promote cooperation. Additionally, when citizens are aware of the sanctions for violating the laws, it can serve as a deterrent against criminal behavior. Ultimately, a society where citizens follow the rules, respect others, and understand the consequences of their actions can be a safe, stable, and prosperous place for all.
