What are the effects of an unstable government?

An unstable government can be problematic. When a government is perceived as unstable, other countries are less likely to be able to predict what may happen to that country in the future. This could have serious economic ramifications. If a country is perceived as unstable, there may be less investment in that country. Those who do invest will want a higher rate of return. This will increase economic costs for the unstable country.

This could have serious economic ramifications. If a country is perceived as unstable, there may be less investment in that country. Those who do invest will want a higher rate of return. This will increase economic costs for the unstable country.


An unstable country is very risky to support politically and militarily. If there is a good chance that the government will be overthrown, it might not be wise to provide weapons that could fall into the hands of a new, possible unfriendly, government. Supporting a government politically when that government might get overthrown may also cause diplomatic problems in the future.


Unstable countries might resort to tactics that suppress individual freedoms. The government might restrict freedom of speech or freedom of the press in order to try to suppress dissent and to try to maintain order. People might be more likely to be persecuted with an unstable government in power.


There are often problems associated with an unstable government.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a...

What are some external and internal conflicts that Montag has in Fahrenheit 451?

 Montag, the protagonist of Fahrenheit 451, faces both external and internal conflicts throughout the novel. Some examples of these conflicts are: External Conflicts: Conflict with the society: Montag lives in a society that prohibits books and critical thinking. He faces opposition from the government and the people who enforce this law. Montag struggles to come to terms with the fact that his society is based on censorship and control. Conflict with his wife: Montag's wife, Mildred, is completely absorbed in the shallow and meaningless entertainment provided by the government. Montag's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage adds to his external conflict. Conflict with the fire captain: Montag's superior, Captain Beatty, is the personification of the oppressive regime that Montag is fighting against. Montag's struggle against Beatty represents his external conflict with the government. Internal Conflicts: Conflict with his own beliefs: Montag, at the beginning of th...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.)
