Arrow’s theorem demonstrates that elections cannot be the perfect means of making decisions because of which of the following? select one:

a. the way votes are tallied can significantly alter the outcome.
b. too many people do not vote.
c. corruption is an inevitable part of politics.
d. elections are always confusing to many people.

a. The way votes are tallied can significantly alter the outcome

Explanation:

According to Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, there are three possibilities:

1. in case each voter prefers alternative X over alternative Y, it means the group prefers X over Y;

2. in case each voter's preference between X and Y remains unchanged, it means the group's preference between X and Y will also remain unchanged;

3. in case no single voter has got the power to always fix the group's preference, it means there is no dictator.

In making decision, election is not a perfect means since the way votes are calculated there is a room for discrepancy.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
