...Hillary Clinton has not always been viewed as a positively influential woman. She is a great example of dedication for her job and the rest of the people. Hillary Clinton is a positive image for others because she has fought for injustices like Women’s and Children’s Rights, motivated many people to do the same and showed how to achieve things by hard work. Her contributions to society made her receive many awards regarding Women’s and Children’s Rights. However, she was controversial after being part of many scandals which led to the worsening of her reputation. Hillary was raised in a middle-class home in Park Ridge, a suburb of Chicago being Hugh Rodham and Dorothy Howell’s first daughter. Her father was a World War ll Navy veteran and business owner while also took care of their poor and extended family (Clinton, 2014). Everyday after school, she would always help with the family business, a small but successful textile business that gave them enough money to take care of the whole family. Hillary’s mother, Dorothy, was a homemaker of Dutch, English, French Canadian, Scottish and Welsh Descendant who was abandoned as a child and had a pretty tough childhood,...

...Hillary Clinton on the Arab Israel conflict Hillary Clinton is the former First Lady , and Secretary of State of USA. Clinton has stated that she is "an emphatic, unwavering supporter of Israel's safety and security." She had been playing an important role in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Arab-Israeli conflict is mainly about the land of Palestine, which is now Israel for the most part. Many Holocaust survivors run off to Palestine after the WWII end. They want to claim Palestine their homeland and build an only-Jewish country. But the some Arabs, who are Muslims, had been in the Palestinian territory for several decades, and none of them want to lose their home. On the other hand, the Jewish people said that this land originally belongs to them so they have the right to claim it themselves. The UN and US have been trying to settle the peace between these two ethnic groups, and it did not go well. Mrs. Clinton said that she "show[s] solidarity and support for Israel", because Israel people are standing for "American values."...

...Comm 301 May 8, 2014 A Pentadic Analysis of Hillary Clinton Interview The artifact we are analyzing for our study is a live television interview that Hillary Clinton was giving to San Francisco’s KTVU-TV in late February of 2008. This interview was broadcasted via television and is also available on YouTube and other video media sources. The interview was being hosted by a man named Ross McGowan of KTVU-TV to senator Hillary Clinton, and that within itself makes it a significant artifact. The live interview about healthcare that Hillary Clinton was giving had to be cut short when the New York senator began having a coughing fit. Prior to the cough attack, the interview was directed but not limited to the subject of health care. Senator Clinton was speaking of issues such as the pulling troops from the Iraq war, California’s mortgage crisis, Americas current health care system, and the idea of a universal health care system. In the end of the interview Clinton fails to answer the question regarding her husbands role in her campaign by coughing for the remainder of the interview abruptly ending it. Whether or not the actions by Clinton were intended, speculation of this interview arose. In 2000, Hillary Clinton became the first women to be elected a seat in the United States Senate. At first glance, Clinton’s aggrandizement to such a respectable political position seemed like a victory for herself and the ongoing women’s movement effort. However, the continual reminder of...

...President Obama. Your paper should cover the following: 1. Identify at least (2) two major historical turning points in the period under discussion. 2. There are two major historical turning points in the period under discussion. The first major turning point was the Fall of Communism and the end to the cold war. The fall of communism and the end of the Cold War led to a reduction of nuclear weapons by both the United States and the former Soviet Union, although many weapons still exist (Shultz, 2012). The Second major turning point in this era was the large growth in the United States economic after President Clinton took office; and made the changes necessary to make the United States have a $ 230 billion Surplus. They called it the “Third Way” a centrist and eclectic blend of policy ideas taken from both liberal and conservative perspectives. One topic has been talked about for years it was very controversial years ago and is still controversial today; it’s health care for all Americans. It was brought to congress by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton during President Clintons first term. They didn’t like the idea then and the republicans still dislike the ideas now. Today we have made process they have approved the Affordable Health Care Act, or as most people call it “Obama Care”. This is making our American society change for the better today. In 1981 AIDS was detected in the United States, politicians were slow to respond to the AIDS epidemic because they felt...

...Michael Emanuel 1-24-16 Fr. Bartus AP Euro paper Democrat Presidential Candidate The Democrats have a very small and monotonous selection of candidates. Yes, they could have the first woman president in Hillary Clinton, but besides that fact, you have a 74-year-old white man and Martin O’Malley. Where are the energetic young progressives that form the Democrat party? Where is the Barack Obama type of candidate for the Democrats? It may be hard to believe that that candidate is Bernie Sanders. Sanders is the 74-year-old man I was talking about before. No Democrat candidate connects with millennials and younger people better than Bernie Sanders. Clinton attempts to connect but fails miserably. This fact is seen by her trying to use just emojis in Twitter posts. Bernie Sanders promises a brighter future for younger people. He does this by promising three things: getting big money out of politics, Medicare for all, and income and wealth equality. Getting big money out of politics is a huge deal, especially considering the state that politics is in right now. Six years ago in, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court decided to give the right to own the government over to the wealthy. This decision made corrupt politics ever more corrupt. We now live in a country dominated by the wealthy, but this was not how America was established. We live in a country based on democracy. Right now, the only way to participate in our country’s politics is to have...

...Vince Foster Did Not Commit Suicide Brian L. Marone Excelsior College maronebrian@gmail.com English 101 Instructor: BK Harvey 20 February 2013 Abstract Contrary to reports issued by the government under the administration of Bill Clinton, all forensic evidence points to the probability that Vince Foster did not kill himself. Regardless of the supporting evidence regarding his "suicide note," motive, and knowledge of the Clintons' involvement in the Whitewater investigation, the crime scene investigation and further forensic evidence scrutinized by the FBI do not in the least support the suicide theory. The primary forensic evidence negating the suicide theory centers around the blood, or lack thereof, at the crime scene, and the evidence regarding the gun – fingerprints, blood, and ballistics. Unfortunately for whoever murdered Vince Foster, they did not accurately portray the suicide scene. If Vince Foster allegedly did shoot himself in the mouth, pointing towards the top of his head, the bullet would have passed through the nasal cavity. Since the heart continues to beat provided that there is oxygenated blood in the body, and considering that this was a direct head wound, the heart should have continued to pump for at the MINIMUM a few moments, producing an outpour of blood from the nasal/ sinus cavity. This effect is similar to a bloody nose, however, at least one thousand times more powerful since the nasal/ sinus cavity is completely obliterated by the lead...

...Australia's decision to play host to US marines, but noted that "too much of a good thing" could put unnecessary pressure on China. His comments, in an opinion piece in today's edition of The Australian, came as the China Daily state-owned newspaper hit out at Australia's expanding links with the US, warning they could spark a collapse of trust and endanger Sino-Australian economic ties. In a strongly worded editorial, the newspaper yesterday also warned that the Gillard government's decision last month to ban Chinese communications giant Huawei from bidding for work in the $36 billion National Broadband Network had created the perception in Beijing that Australia wanted to obstruct Chinese companies. But, as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton insisted her nation wanted close and peaceful relations with Beijing, Julia Gillard rejected the Chinese newspaper's suggestion that Australian foreign policy was aimed at containing China. "Australia's clear and firm policy is to engage constructively with China as it continues its remarkable growth and development," the Prime Minister said through a spokesman. Relations between China and Australia have been under pressure since US President Barack Obama visited Canberra in November to announce plans to station up to 2500 US marines in Darwin...

...For example, without the First Amendment’s guarantee of the right to free speech, to assemble, and to petition government, the political branches would be less responsive to citizens’ concerns, and voters would be less informed of the significance of their choices. However, there are politicians who wish to challenge the First Amendment. With the possible exceptions of John Adams and Woodrow Wilson, there might never be a president more hostile to freedom of speech than Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton has promised, if elected, to introduce a constitutional amendment within her first month in office that would effectively repeal the First Amendment by overturning the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v FEC decision from 2010.6 Americans can protect their civil liberties in regard to free speech by taking an absolutist zero-tolerance position in regard to censorship and speech policing.7 The United States has succeeded in preserving security and civil liberties by adopting policies that reinforce both; however, when it has departed from that course, both liberty and security have suffered. For example, while imprisoning those who actively conspire with the enemy in a time of war is sound policy, the internment of Japanese citizens...

...___________________________ LIVING HISTORY Hillary Rodham Clinton Simon & Schuster New York • London • Toronto • Sydney • Singapore To my parents, my husband, my daughter and all the good souls around the world whose inspiration, prayers, support and love blessed my heart and sustained me in the years of living history. AUTHOR’S NOTE In 1959, I wrote my autobiography for an assignment in sixth grade. In twenty-nine pages, most half-filled with earnest scrawl, I described my parents, brothers, pets, house, hobbies, school, sports and plans for the future. Forty-two years later, I began writing another memoir, this one about the eight years I spent in the White House living history with Bill Clinton. I quickly realized that I couldn’t explain my life as First Lady without going back to the beginning―how I became the woman I was that first day I walked into the White House on January 20, 1993, to take on a new role and experiences that would test and transform me in unexpected ways. By the time I crossed the threshold of the White House, I had been shaped by my family upbringing, education, religious faith and all that I had learned before―as the daughter of a staunch conservative father and a more liberal mother, a student activist, an advocate for children, a lawyer, Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. For each chapter, there were more ideas I wanted to discuss than space allowed; more people to include than could be named; more places visited than could be described...

...Health care policy goals toward the society are delivery and financing of health care services. Health policy generally clarifies the movements occupied by governments---local, state, and national---to improve the society's health. It is a policy that stays focus more on discussing the health needs on majority of the population. The United States of America is the foremost spender on health care than any other country on earth (policy almanac, 2010). For a number of years, health care expenditures grew at a far more rapid rate than the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), using majority of the country‘s capitals. The cost of health care and the determination to control the intensification in spending is a major conflict. The upsurge in cost and spending of health care affects many policies as well as the consumer, physicians, government, children, and senior citizens. The focal focus is based on the first three phases of how the procedure works with Medicare/SCHIP. Policies are dynamic. There are three interconnected phases of health care policy making: the formulation stage, legislative stage, and implementation stage. These three important organized stages occur in the process in order to convert a topic such as Medicaid, into a policy. To begin, the formulation stage is a planning cycle by stating a theory. It is the main and frequently most challenging stage in obtaining proper decision methods. The obligation of this stage is to set priorities, set objectives and goals, define...

...Health care reform was a major topic of discussion during the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries. As the race narrowed, attention focused on the plans presented by the two leading candidates, New York Senator Hillary Clinton and the eventual nominee, Illinois Senator Barack Obama. Each candidate proposed a plan to cover the approximately 45 million Americans estimated to be without health insurance at some point during each year. The difference between the plans was that Clinton's plan was to require all Americans to obtain coverage (in effect, an individual health insurance mandate), while Obama's was to provide a subsidy but not create a direct requirement. After the Presidents inauguration, the President announced to a joint session of Congress in February 2009 that he would begin working with Congress to construct a plan for health care reform. In March of 2009, President Obama formally began the reform process and held a conference with industry leaders to discuss reform and requested reform be enacted before the Congressional summer recess (Patient Protection Affordable Care Act, 2010). Members met for a series of meetings to discuss the development of a health care reform bill. Over the course of three months, this group, consisting of Senators Max Baucus (D-Montana), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Kent Conrad (D-North Dakota), Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), Jeff Bingaman (D-New Mexico), and Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming), met for more than 60 hours, and the principles that they discussed...

...Bill Clinton - Redefines Democratic-Republican In the early 1800's, the United States was but a promising seedling in search of viable political direction. The initial parties were known as the federalists and the Democratic-Republicans, the first of which soon diminished and the later eventually bisected. The result is the two party Democrat and GOP system which the majority of politicians of current day subscribe. However, many political and economic analysts find themselves perplexed by an incredible new phenomenon radiating from the white house - the economic policies of President Bill Clinton. This dilemma has left many wondering, did we elect a democrat or a republican? Has Clinton unintentionally begun a campaign to reunite the two rivals? The telltale signs of Clinton's political ambiguity include reminiscently republican techniques of reducing the budget, creating jobs, lowered productivity, and shaping the tax code. During Clinton's 1992 campaign, balancing the budget was not among the countries main economic objectives (Miller 4). However, after close scrutiny, the economic woes of the approaching millennium were projected as "higher then we thought it would be" (Miller 4). In fact, "in the twelve years before Clinton took office, the deficit quadrupled in size" (deficit 1). As a result, Clinton must engage in creative cost cutting techniques to keep the budget under control. Money afforded to state and local governments for development programs...

...Serving the People, Through the People “He’s never balanced a budget, but I have 11 times” stated William Jefferson Clinton in his acceptance speech at the 1992 Democratic National Convention. Clinton did an award winning job of giving a speech in such a way, that his audience felt personally connected with him and his motives. With Clinton’s comforting values and his impressive choice of words, he let his audience, the common middle-class Democrat, know that they were on the top of his agenda if he was elected as the President of The United States. Through the use of great wording and in-depth examples of his honorable values, Clinton demonstrated that he was the man for the job. Clinton appealed to many listeners by his care full use of ethos, these ethos included personal experiences and his demonstration of selflessness in whole. “I am a product of that middle class, and when I am President, you will be forgotten no more,” Clinton remarked. When Clinton made this statement, he had all of his viewers in mind. He showed that with his small town ethics, he could bring the power back to the people. A great example of this would be when Clinton stated, “The election is about putting power back in your hands and putting the government back on your side.” Clinton extensively thanked his mother for his fighting spirit and his courage in life. Before Clinton was born, his father died in an accident. His mother had a make a sacrifice, this sacrifice was to send Bill to live with...
