Gang-related activity is increasing at the high school at which you teach. at a faculty meeting, the school principal voices her concern that hostile interactions among members of rival gangs are escalating. you think about the textbook’s recommendations for addressing gang violence and suggest that the school:

   Consulting with community support services about the possibility of a mediation program

Explanation:  Any other solution that excludes support from the community and its services may produce some results, but not in the long run. Of course, students themselves, members of rival gangs, should, in the presence of school representatives, discuss ongoing problems and rivalries, as well as conduct workshops on how to combat anger and how to control it. But it's always best to involve the wider community in any issue, including this one, which, in addition to mediation programs, can make a significant contribution to solving the difficulties of rival gangs and eradicating it forever.

freeborn women in ancient rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office. because of their limited public role, women are named less frequently than men by roman historians. but while roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. exceptional women who left an undeniable mark on history range from lucretia and claudia quinta, whose stories took on mythic significance; fierce republican-era women such as cornelia, mother of the gracchi, and fulvia, who commanded an army and issued coins bearing her image; women of the julio-claudian dynasty, most prominently livia (58 bc-ad 29), who contributed to the formation of imperial mores; and the empress helena (c.250–330 ad), a driving force in promoting christianity.

women in the ancient greek world had few rights in comparison to male citizens. unable to vote, own land, or inherit, a woman’s place was in the home and her purpose in life was the rearing of children. this, though, is a general description, and when considering the role of women in ancient greece one should remember that information regarding specific city-states is often lacking, is almost always from male authors, and only in athens can their status and role be described in any great detail. neither are we sure of the practical and everyday application of the rules and laws that have survived from antiquity. we do know that spartan women were treated somewhat differently than in other states. for example, they had to do physical training like men, were permitted to own land, and could drink wine.
