Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Sports are good examples of popular culture; many sports have originated as folk customs, diffused like any other folk culture trait, through the migration of people. The diffusion of sports nowadays is a characteristic of current popular culture anyway.

Soccer is the word used in North America and Oceania to name what the rest of the world call “Football”, a very popular sport played by approximately 270 million people worldwide;  

Establishment: officially during the 19th century in England, but similar games were played as far as 2.000 years ago.

Origin & Diffusion: it has been said it started in East Asia (although uncertain) during the 2nd and 3rd century B.C., in China with “cu ju” meaning (kick ball) which is the earliest form of the sport; then jumped to Europe through Rome, Greece, France and England and finally worldwide.

The World Cup: the first World Cup held in South America (Uruguay 1930) was a keystone to spread the sport and make it more popular around the world, sparkling the passion of new fans since this event is the most prestigious football tournament among nations currently, and the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world.

Soccer/Football then was forged in England as a folk custom during the 11th century and became part of the global popular culture around the 19th and 20th centuries. It has been documented that early Soccer/Football games resembled mob scenes, a large crowd from 2 villages used to gather to kick a ball; the winner was the group kicking the ball into the center of the rival village.


The transformation from English folk to global popular culture started in the 1800s; recreation clubs were created in England to provide factory workers an organized recreation during leisure hours, thus it started to be taught in schools.

The word soccer was determined around 1863, when the Football Association was created, Association was shortened to assoc, and lastly was twisted around into soccer.

In the late 1800s Football Association was exported first to Europe, and in the 20th century to the rest of the world mainly with the 1rst World Cup in South America.

The sport was further diffuse with the rise of the radio and television; and the new mass media and telecommunications completed the journey to make the sport part of the popular culture as it is today.

A state’s constitution authorizes a state reapportionment board to redraw state legislative districts every 12 years. During the most recent reapportionment process, consultants had provided the board with two alternative plans for reapportionment. One plan provided for districts with less than a 3% difference in proportional representation between districts. The other plan was drawn up to conform state legislative districts as nearly as possible to county borders, resulting in differences in proportional representation between districts of up to 12%. The current apportionment of legislative districts results in differences of up to 15% between districts. The board ultimately selected the reapportionment plan based on county borders, and this plan was approved by the state legislature.A Caucasian resident and registered voter of the state brought a constitutional challenge to the reapportionment in federal court. His claim is based on the fact that, as a result of the plan that the board selected, the percentage of the African-American voting population in the district in which he lives increased from 45% to 55%. Had the other plan been selected, the percentage would have been unchanged in his district.In the absence of a federal statute applicable to the state, is the resident likely to prevail?

Answers

Answer:

No, because preserving political subdivisions is a legitimate state interest that justifies the plan's variance in representation.

Explanation:

In a similar example, The majority made mention of the State constitutional power of the Virginia General Assembly to pass local legislation associated with specific political subdivisions.

They considered that legislative role to be an essential and substantive feature of the powers and procedures of the Virginia legislature, and therefore justified an effort to preserve political subdivision boundaries in drawing the districts of the House of Delegates.

Its large percentage reached the conclusion that although the consequent overall range between house districts "may well approach tolerable limits, we do not believe it exceeds those limits."
