...Politics have become a major topic since it is time to choose which candidate will run for president. Since the 1800s, political parties have been against each other in order to run the country according to how they view issues of the country. Each party views social and political issues differently and others similarly. The beliefs of the two major political parties, the Democrats and The Republicans, differ and can change the direction the country is headed due to political concerns such as tax rates, government programs, and education. Both parties have different opinions on tax rates for the people. Democrats are for progressive taxes which means they support higher tax rates for the wealthy. In theory, all of these taxes...

...riefly compare the political regime type in China and India. Which of the two would you prefer to do business in and why? India and China are two republics that have experienced very opposing political regimes throughout history. China has been fundamentally stable country with a lack of a distinct authority figure (Desai, 2003). Being a single party state China has been controlled by the Chinese Communist Party since the 5th National Congress held in 1927 (Wang, 2013). Correspondingly India, have always been a federal parliamentary democratic republic where the President of India elected is head of state and the Prime Minister elected is the head of government (U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, 2013). This essay will reflect on the political views of both China and India, and attempt to determine why it is more advantageous to do business in India. Government regulation is the process of dissemination, monitoring and enforcement of policy established by appropriate legislation. In, China regulation is central as particular industries are not accessible to foreign investors as the Communist Party aims to restrict external influences on its own population (Desai, 2003). An estimated 90 percent of companies listed on the Chinese exchanges are either partly or fully state-owned (Desai). Retaining a level competition base is significantly reduced, as the chances of competing against a government owned company is more than likely. A good example of policy that has restricted...

...Exam Question: Compare the ways the poet reveals feelings about a place in `Nothing’s changed` with the ways another poet reveals feelings about a place? Both poems talk about how division and segregation can cause two societies to be pushed apart from each other. Division is a key theme running through both `Nothing’s changed` by Tatmkhulu Afrika and lawerence felinghetti`s `two scavengers in a truck…`. In `nothing’s changed` division is a key aspect of the whole poem shown through symbolism and certain language. An example of this is when the emphasizes the whites as “new, up-market, haute cuisine” with “bunny chows” and “plastic table`s top”. These phrases suggest to us that there is a huge division in society as `plastic` is for those who are poorer in contrast to `haute cuisine` which is upper class choices. This is also presented in `Two scavengers…. ` when the poet emphasizes the division in society by contrasting the rich with the poor. An example of this is when he describes the rich as “casually coifed” and the poor as “grungy” with “iron hair”. These phrases suggest to us the stark contrast between the rich and the poor. I have also learnt through symbolism there is a lot of struggle in society, and how differences in appearance can determine your status in society. Stereotyping is a core theme in both poems. In `Two scavengers…` stereotyping is a key point throughout the whole poem. An example of this is when the poet describes the rich as “elegant” and...

...Compare and Contrast Essay: Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass What is hypocrisy? It is feigning someone to believe what is or to believe what is not. Basically, an individual who is pretending to be someone he or she is not. All members of society can be a subject to be hypocritical. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the different types of hypocrisies between Frederick Douglass's and modern time. The three main differences are religious, political, and racial hypocrisy. In today's society, religious hypocrisy has withstood the test of time. Many people in the past and in the present time do not attend church on Sunday because of conflict with their hypocritical values, while the true hypocrites proclaim their devotion to God on Sunday, and ironically talk about their neighbor's lives, fight over simple traffic rules refuse to see poverty around them. Almost an outsider, Frederick Douglass witnessed withstanding of religious hypocrisy when it came to the slave holders and non-abolitionist of southern society. "Poor man! such was his disposition, and success at deceiving, I do verily believe that he sometimes deceived himself into the solemn belief, that he was a sincere worshipper of the most high God." (80). Mr. Covey showed that being a slave holder and a Christian is hypocritical to himself, because it is not possible for him to own and direct slaves while remaining faithful to their religion. During the 2008 presidential election, the Democratic...

...This article was published by the institute of political research in Georgia in 2012. The article is based on fact checking the claim that one of its political analyst, Larry Sabato, made in his research for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The claim that Sabato made was "The higher the education level, the more likely they are to vote Democratic”. Therefore, the institute of political research in Georgia decided to fact check the veracity of such a claim. Since the institution that was doing the research is based on the state of Georgia they decided to compare voters nationwide against Georgia’s voters which are conservative, whites with really strong ties the Republican Party. Sabato in his research used data based on the 2008 exit polls in which the 44% identified as college graduates. One of the findings in Sabato’s research was that among the 44% Obama had an 8%-point advantage over then-republican candidate John McCain. And the gap between these candidates increased even more among those who had a post-graduate degree with Obama leading with 18% advantage. The article also made a reference to a research published by The Pew Research Center in 2012 the finding of this research were that the Lower-income and less educated whites also have shifted substantially toward the Republican Party since 2008." Among whites without a college degree, the GOP now holds a 54 percent to 37 percent advantage among non-college whites, who were split about evenly four years ago. The partisanship...

...Revisionist Socialism What is it? Revisionist socialism seeks to reform or tame capitalism rather than abolish it. It seeks to reconcile socialism with capitalism. It seeks social justice in the sense of narrowing the economic and social inequalities (to varying degrees) within capitalism through welfare and redistribution. Social democracy is the most obvious example of revisionist socialism. Revisionists are invariably parliamentary, not revolutionary, socialists. Bernstien Beginning in the late 1890s a diverse group of so-called revisionist thinkers increasingly questioned the validity of a number of fundamental Marxist theorists. They particularly objected to how rigidly Marx's doctrine was being interpreted by his colleagues in Second International. The foremost theoretical spokesman of the revisionist movement was Eduard Bernstein. Bernstein was a German social democrat whose views on socialism had been influenced by his extended influenced by those in Switzerland and particularly in England, where he became familiar with the views of the early Fabian Society. While his own theory of socialism differed from theirs, Bernstein nevertheless shared many of the Fabian beliefs, including the notion that socialism could be achieved by non-revolutionary means. In a series of articles that first appeared in Die Neue Zeit between 1896 and 1899 and later published in the book Evolutionary Socialism (1899), Bernstein laid the foundation for a revisionist challenge to Marxist...
