In the 21st century are "republic" and "democracy" redefined?

     The reason the 2024 vote is so important to the current administration can be understood since the defining the two noun words "republic" and "democracy" notes the difference.
     So what is the difference?
    The very definition of the noun word "democracy" includes addressing the vote.  And in most instances, a contextual summary of the methods under which the vote has a supreme significance in the "democracy" definition, becomes more apparent from the research I've done.  One of my research websites gives an insight into how US History offers a historical context to those two noun words, "republic" and "democracy."
    My research has determined that a "republic" defined has a reference to our Constitution, in that our founders didn't intend a "democracy"—our founders considered the 13 states could be overwhelmed by the tyranny of the "democracy" mob.
    It is my belief we are at a crossroads when it comes to what direction, "republic" or "democrat" our nation will chose.
    The choice of a "democracy" according to my research depends on capitalizing the early voting process, especially with the ensuing mail out of ballots to all who have drivers licenses, but not necessarily a drivers license that would be accepted as an ID at Federal facility.  The aforementioned mass sending out of voting ballots will take place in many states who do not require voter ID.  As well in some states the procedure called ballot harvesting is legal and early voting for the 2024 general election in some states like North Carolina begins October 17, 2024.
     Thus the process of  turning our vote toward a "democracy" vote prolonged process will ensue, because there is no federal law that could make our elections and decision as to who is elected and decided without a court decision.  No matter who wins they could have a series of legal challenges, especially for the Presidency, that could bring the election results into mid-2025.
    I urge you to read my research sources to understand why this particular 2024 election will determine whether we stay a "republic" or become a "democracy."

In the 21st century is the meaning of words "political" and "agenda" changed?

 

     The mention of the word  "political" when defining "agenda," usually at the very end of the list of ways to use the word "agenda" in a sentence is part of all 21st century definitions, and by exploring my list of research sources even if you too will determine the same conclusion, it will be elucidating to ponder the differences between the words and their definitions.
     In the 21st century, the word "political" is essentially defined in connection with government, but then the word "agenda" is coupled for a fuller definition of the word "political" to include even what are described as think tanks.
     However, the mention of another definition of "political" without the use of the word "agenda" is not applied in a 21st century definition, although it is possible to apply the definition of the word "political" to any group of people who can congregate together, for instance, they live in the same apartment building, or attend the same house of worship, all of which are not necessarily a government. 
     On the other hand, the 21st century definition is the same as  it was in the past when referring to the word "agenda," which is similar in all the sources I found on the internet, and is solely applied to a plan of some sort, also a timetable for whatever may be included in that list of items, no matter what the use of the listed.
     Nonetheless, I have concluded there is a 21st century slant to defining the words "political" and "agenda" mainly with the coupling of the aforementioned words to "political agenda," but this is a phenomena that applies to our modern day language lexicon, and this is why I have researched these particular words and their definitions in this words and meanings blogspot post.  I believe it is more important to redefine in context these once very common words, "politics" and "agenda" to identify what is  a 21st century of "historic" firsts when it comes to the "agenda" of a "political" hierarchy on the global world stage that affects us all, no matter what our political persuasion.

What is the meaning of the noun/verb/adjective word "mirror"?

 
     In this 21st century, the exploration of the often many ways words are used in a sentence can also reflect how words and meanings are a contributor to points of view.
    The word "mirror" is a noun, and thus one of those all important words, that in the 21st century can be an auxiliary to a point of view.  For example, with a slight departure from my other research sources who say the word "mirror" is just a "noun," Collins Dictionary, says a mirror is actually made of something, i.e. " a smooth surface that reflects the images of objects; esp., a piece of glass coated on the reverse side as with silver or an amalgam
     And as well, "the word "mirror" is a transitive verb" too:  "...to reflect, as in a mirror; give or show a likeness of..." and "... to mimic or imitate (something) accurate..."   Nonetheless, the Collins Dictionary notice that the word "mirror" is a "countable noun" suggests the word "mirror" can also be a vehicle of sorts for differing points of view.
     Another one of my research sources, Dictionary.com lists this word as an adjective too, mainly as a "cannon or fugue played in retrograde or inversion as though read in a mirror placed below or beside the music," which suggests that the word "mirror" has other kinds of "reflections."
     Thus, the word "mirror" is an adjunct of sorts to whatever the word is paired with, and is a 21st century word that has dual uses, but this word isn't yet used to express a currently impactful event, however, as 2024 progresses and the world lurches toward even more division of thought and purpose, I suspect usage will be a regular aspect of reporting about the past and how it reflects on the present.

Is the meaning of the noun word "trust" bifurcated?

 
     My research for the noun word "trust" tells me that in 2023 this is a very bifurcated word.
     And for most when we hear the word "trust" the first definition that comes to mind is "believe or "confidence, however, Oxford Dictionaries indicates there is also the need to believe or have confidence there is someone who will deliver that "trust" when needed.
     Moreover, as I've noted in many previous words and meanings posts over the past many years since 2013, "noun" words are more "meaningful" than other parts of speech.
     Nonetheless, well known magazines like THE ATLANTIC are encouraging articles about the noun word "trust" to make note of the fact that lower levels of trust is devastating America, but there is a suspicion the global world is affected too.  As well, so do institutions and even charities suffer the same suspicion that there isn't a reliable deliverer of "trust" to depend on.
     Therefore, I used the descriptive word bifurcated to indicate that the meaning of a word reflects our recent experience, and from what I've determined the sense of "trust" is at an all time low in every way, and in every facet of global society.
