Characteristics of bad governance

Law and order is marked by insecurity, coercion and violence. This has led to poor governance, criminalisation of politics and violation of citizens’ rights. The media provide ample evidence of the disturbing crime growth and the troubling shortcomings of legislation, law enforcement system, court system and prisons.

According to the United Nations, Good Governance is measured by the eight factors of Participation, Rule of Law, Transparency, Responsiveness, Consensus Oriented, Equity and Inclusiveness, Effectiveness and Efficiency, and Accountability.

A kakistocracy (/kækɪˈstɒkrəsi/, /kækɪsˈtɒkrəsi/) is a system of government that is run by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous citizens.

According to Leibniz, there are three forms of evil in the world: moral, physical, and metaphysical.

For an evil look, it usually helps to go with dark, bold makeup. Go for a dark, smoky eye shadow look, and add plenty of black eyeliner. Even male characters who aren’t wearing much other makeup can look a little more sinister with some black liner around the eyes.

If you really want to look evil, contour your face so that it mimics the shape of a downward-pointing triangle. Studies have shown that people find this shape threatening, as it appears to mimic an angry face.

A villain is the opposite of a hero. A villain is the antagonist of your story whose motivations and actions oppose the protagonist and drive the plot of your story. In contrast to the hero, a villain is usually compelled by a desire to commit acts of cruelty and immorality.

Try high-pitched sounds.

A high pitched evil laugh comes off as crazed and hysterical. Try shooting for the highest pitch you can make with your voice and sliding down into your normal range, laughing all the way. This kind of laugh might be good if you were trying to channel a witch or other mischievous spirit.

Crucially, Kjeldgaard-Christiansen argues that a wicked laugh offers one of the clearest signs that a villain harbours such evil, gaining “open and candid enjoyment” from others’ suffering – moreover, fiction writers know this intuitively, time and again using the malevolent cackle to identify their darkest characters.

Evil laughter or maniacal laughter is manic laughter by a villain in fiction. A 2018 paper argued that this specific type of laugh has foundations in human psychology. In comic books, where supervillains utter such laughs, they are variously rendered as mwahahaha, muwhahaha, muahahaha, bwahahaha, etc.

AMAZON Echo users have reported feeling freaked out after their Alexa devices began spontaneously uttering “evil laughs”. Some owners of the voice-enabled assistant described the unprompted cackle as “witch-like” and “bone chillingly creepy”.

Alexa Announcements

For us, the announcement feature comes in handy, as you can use cuss words like, moron, d***, A**h***, etc. If you use the voice command, ‘Alexa announce x’, it records your voice and plays it as is. So, if you don’t have a problem with a voice memo, go ahead and use the voice command.

Alexa can get real creepy at times, saying weird stuff or cackling for no reason. And the internet loves it every single time. To be honest, so do we because as much as we’ve got used to helpful, polite voice assistants in every room of the house, it still feels like they could go rogue at any minute.

Alexa can fart, and she doesn’t hold back. When you ask Alexa to fart, the Big Fart skill is automatically enabled, giving you access to an alarmingly large library of fart sounds—42 to be exact. Not that you need any more flatulence in your home, but at least hers don’t stink.
