...The two other slogans that will be selected for comparative purposes will be “Make America Great Again” (Trump 2016) and “Stronger Together” (Clinton 2016). These slogans are both within a political context and during campaign runs. In examining these two slogans by Trump and Clinton, it can be noticed that there is an applied “We” at the beginning of each slogan. This implication highlights the unity involved in these phrases. We can make America great again (Trump 2016) and we are stronger together (Clinton 2016). This implied “we” draws the American voter into the realm of the political candidate as partners rather than observers. Along with this collective draw of unity is the collective assumption of action. Trump and Clinton propose a slogan that lends a hand to the American voter to be a part of their campaign. In voting for either Trump or Clinton, the American voter is taking part in an active process to either “Make America Great Again” or to “[Be] Stronger Together”. This draw to action and inclusion within a campaign is what makes political slogans what they are. There is a call to action and inclusivity with the candidate. (4) Formulation organizing principles In covering all three of these slogans, the organizing principles of the political...

The movement in East Pakistan started with a few domestic reason, mentioned as follows. It was the case that East Pakistan always seemed to be dissatisfied with the amount of attention and funds they received from the West chiefly from Punjab ruled government.

...Intro. This book seeks to answer these and other questions by focusing on the study in perception of Colombian birds from the late 19th century through the first half of the 20th century, as a pretext to analyze social, scientific and environmental relations between the United States and Colombia. Understanding how ornithologists and collectors formed bird collections reveal s a rich story of international scientific relations and power structure throughout the 19th and 20th century. Reconstructing the story of Colombian birds allows the author to build a history that not only analyzes the early and complex scientific relations between the United States and Colombia, but also takes into account the importance of North America's growing influence over Latin America as well as Colombia's changing economic, cultural and social history to understand different perception of the natural world in both countries. For a North American, the study of birds brought forth a natural world where US imperialist intentions over Latin America were entirely legitimized. For Colombian naturalists, the study of birds offered another way to promote relations with the United States and incorporated Colombia into the international arena of science. At the same time, a toucan in 1940 had a different meaning to a North American, who in the midst of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor policy, approached Latin America as an important economic and political ally, than to a Colombian rooted in the...

...start by taking a look at deterrence. Capital punishment can be looked at from the aspect of deterrence, which is discouraging individuals who may have the intention to participate in homicide. It is also a reference to the criminal, denoting that he may not commit a crime or participate in homicide. Deterrence is summed up by the deterrence theory (Siegel, 2012); this theory requires that individuals weigh the costs and rewards associated with different actions. It’s based on the premise that individuals will choose those actions that translate to greatest reward at lesser costs. The theory also proposes that crime is preferred when it is seen as yielding a greater reward at a lesser cost than conventional alternatives. In this case, capital punishment introduces the cost perspective; since nothing is costlier than life, criminals will be convinced that crime does not pay; this is referred to as general deterrence (Chandler, 2002). However, these actions would only be possible when the sanctions are...

...Sasha Klaeb WMST 101 7 May 2013 Assignment 4: Women and Work Question 1, The Glass Escalator: In “The Glass Escalator,” Christine Williams studies the way men are treated and their experiences when working in female dominated occupations, and finds that there exists a glass escalator for men working in these jobs. First, although Williams acknowledges that the proportion of men and women in the labor force is approaching parity, there still exists significant job segregation relating to gender. Both men and women are relegated to single sex occupations, meaning that they work in jobs that society deems more appropriate for men and women. What Williams does in this paper is different from other studies because rather than focusing on women in male dominated occupations and the barriers they face, she studies the underrepresentation of males in predominantly “female” occupations. She examines four typically female dominated occupations: nursing, librarianship, elementary school teaching and social work, and studies the implications of men working in female occupations. From these studies, she finds that unlike females in male dominated jobs, men do not face any discrimination and are in fact promoted and move up the ladder at a much faster pace than women. As one employee put it, there is a preference for men in these female occupations. Williams found that the more female dominated the job or specialty was, the greater the preference for men. The glass escalator...

...the Great Depression, some of which include “The Great Crash” of the stock market, lack of spending by the average person, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and a massive drought in the Mississippi Valley. From this nation-wide crisis came Social Security as we know it, the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act, the creation of the SEC and stricter banking and stock market regulations. Overall the Great Depression had a large impact on The United States that can still be seen today. Causes of the Great Depression In January of 1929 an editorial (Encyclopedia of American Studies, 2010) said “It has been twelve months of unprecedented advance, of wonderful prosperity. If there is any way of judging the future by the past, this new year will be one of felicitation and hopefulness.” This was obviously not the case. When the stock market crashed on October 29, 1929, it was possibly the greatest contributing factor to the depression. Some believe, though incorrectly, that the “Great Crash” is the same as the great depression. The stock market crash had people scared to spend money. People no longer bought nearly as many products which led to a drop in production, which in turn led to layoffs in the work force. Coupled with these layoffs, were huge debts being defaulted on by stock holders; this all inevitably to the failure or closing of many banks. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was passed in June 1930 to protect farmers affected by the Great Depression...

...Arianne Cerize A. Aman The Meaning of Development: Brazil and Costa Rica Economic development is the presumed solution to absolute poverty and to many of the world's other most pressing problems. But what is development, and how do we know it when we see it? The term, development, has been used in several ways. Traditionally, it was equated with growth of per capita income. Since the 1970s, other indicators of development have become widely used by development scholars and development agencies such as the World Bank. The meeting of basic needs (or, equivalently, reduction in absolute poverty), the creation of modern employment opportunities, and the achievement of a less unequal distribution of income and farmland have all become important criteria in determining the level of development. Traditional measures of growth, especially in developing countries, may be misleading in that they fail to account for the environmental destruction that often accompanies spurts in temporary and unsustainable economic growth; and economists are devising measures of the national capital stock that includes environmental wealth. The United Nations has placed both educational attainment and health standards on equal footings with per capita income as development criteria, in the widely followed United Nations Development Program human development index (HDI). Some leading development scholars, such as Amartya Sen, Denis Goulet, and Dudley Seers, have gone further. They argue that more intangible...

...Fracking and its major implications it has on the earth In today’s day and age, societies are a lot more aware of the environment and furthermore, concerned for the Earths sustainability. Although this is the case for most, Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) often target developing countries that are rich in resources and therefore take them for all they’ve got. One such example is fracking the earth, in order to extract natural gases that could potentially benefit corporations and contribute to their bottom line dramatically. Although this has it’s positives, the implications of fracking could have incredibly serious repercussions, particularly the preservation of the earth and it’s current resources. “Fracking” is the process in which one would drill thousands of meters below the earth’s surface and inject fluid that is then pumped into the shale at an incredibly high pressure, which then shatters the rocks in order to release shale gas. This particular natural gas is trapped within sedimentary shale rock formations and is found richly in many areas of the world. Fracking breaks most of the regulations in the sustainable environments handbook, and as you can imagine, this causes a massive up brawl in the societies that are pro-environment and sustainability. Although this point of view is prominent and relevant, the opposing side has an equally compelling argument. Global thoughts on the idea of fracking Globally, the topic is thought to be both “one of the best...

In spite of the fact that these attributes can't be viewed as synonymous with psychopathic personality, it could be contended that cultural transmission inside individualistic cultures may make behavioural qualities that in their great sign are components of psychopathic personality. It can be conjectured that individualistic cultures are more inclined to create chattiness and triviality, pomposity, indiscrimination, and various conjugal connections, together with an absence of obligation inside of connections, than are collectivist societies. The intensity that is caused...

...Case Study 1: Mr. Nathan Question 1: In my opinion, the most suitable breed (from the list provided) for Mr. Nathan’s needs would the Giant Schnauzer. Mr. Nathan is looking for a dog that can protect him and his auto repair shop, where he lives and conducts business. The Giant Schnauzer is an extremely intelligent dog, who loves his owners and feels great responsibility to protect them and enjoys having a job to do. Due to the breed’s size and looks a GS would be very intimidating to someone who might be considering to harm or steal from Mr. Nathan. Giant Schnauzers are able to easily distinguish between friend or foe, which is an important necessity due to the fact that customers and vendors will be coming and going throughout the day during business hours. Mr. Nathan’s property is also fenced in so that when the business is closed, he will be able to provide an adequate place for his dog to be exercised. He is also financially able to provide for a dog that will need a fair amount of grooming as well all other needs. Question 2: In my opinion, the least appropriate breed (from the list provide) for Mr. Nathan would be the Golden Retriever. Although, they are an intelligent, friendly and devoted breed, which would be an asset for Mr. Nathan and his customers and vendors coming and going during the day. Goldens do not necessarily ‘strike fear’ into someone with the intention to do harm. Case Study 2: Mrs. Smith Question 1: In my opinion, the most suitable...

...to the U.S. - a small fee, and a medical inspection. The people who chose not to do that, but still went to the U.S., were the first illegal immigrants. There were multiple reasons for these people not doing these simple and easy checks and fees. One reason why is because they were sick and did not want to be denied from going to America, and another would be that they could not afford the fee of around $8 to be able to get in. Some argue, however, that the first illegal immigrants did not occur until around 1924. At this time, the U.S. had gotten new workers to work as border patrol, preventing people from crossing the border if they had not been checked and paid the fee. During this, quota laws were put on other countries to restrict too much immigration from them, and many people wanted these laws to be extended to Mexico and other Latin American countries as well. These laws were not used against Mexico however, because of how great the Mexican immigrants impacted the labor force in the...

...Robert A. Fischer Raven Puente ENGL 2302 American Literature 22 October 2012 Martin Luther King and Affirmative Action The 1960’s were a time of great unrest. America was locked in the stalemate of the cold war with the Soviet Union. In the early 1950s, we had helped to beat back communism in Korea only to have it resurface again in Vietnam. We almost came to blows with Russia over the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1961. There were conflicts all over the world to include Chairman Mao’s crackdown against capitalism called the Cultural Revolution, the troubles in Northern Ireland, the Six Days War between Israel and its neighboring Arabic countries, and conflicts in South America and Africa that led to successful coups being accomplished. There were numerous prestigious men around the world that were assassinated to include but not limited to the United States President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Medger Evans, Ngo Dinh Diem the President of Vietnam, and Hendrik Verwoerd the Prime Minister of South Africa. The 1960s were truly a time of great unrest. But the unrest that was prevalent in the 1960s was not confined to the world stage and not all of it was negative. In the United States, the unrest of the 1960s led to the Civil Rights Movement that guaranteed equal rights to many groups that had until then been treated unfairly. It led to the passage of laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing...
