Slash and burn agriculture is a method in which forest are cut down and burnt to clear land for cultivation. ✿ The land is obtained is fertile and cultivation is practiced on it for few years before it is left for regeneration of vegetation and people move to other place for cultivate.
Media has given political parties the tools to reach large numbers of people and can inform them on key issues ranging from policies to elections. In theory, media should be seen as an enabler for democracy, having better-educated voters would lead to a more legitimate government.
