Trachoma (health) and oligarchy (sh)


Trachoma (health)


A viral infection of the cornea and conjunctiva which may produce scarring and impaired vision.





oligarchy (sh)




Rule by the few, often seen as having self-serving ends.

Aristotle used the term pejoratively for unjust rule by bad men, contrasting oligarchy with rule by an aristocracy. Most classic oligarchies have resulted when governing elites were recruited exclusively from a ruling class, which tends to Exercise power in its own interest. The term is considered outmoded today because "few" conveys no information about the Nature of the ruling group.
