...(Psychology Today, 2002-2013). According to Rushaw, author of Leading Public Organization: An Interactive Approach, defines leadership “as an interactive relationship involving power and influence to secure goals and achieve satisfactory reward” (p. 14). A key objective of public leadership is to influence the behaviors of the followers by the leaders to aid in achieving goals. The nature of influence determines the form of power in public leadership, that refers to the ability of a leader to influence others. There are three main sources of power at the expense of the leader to enhance organizational productivity and efficiency; they are legitimate, referent, and expert forms of power. It is as important in knowing and understanding the difference between the private and public sector organizations as it is to know and understand the privacy laws. The privacy laws varies depending on the legislation that an organization is governed under. Leadership in Public Sector According to Rusaw (2001), “the nature of public leaderships is defined by the constitutional basis of his or her work. Public service is chartered by legislation, meaning that the content, scope, and relationship of work is related not to enterprise, but to the authority of law” (p. 2). A public sector organization is an organization owned and operated by the local, state, and federal government. Good governance in general is equally important in leadership within the public sector (Rusaw, 2001). In the...

...Americans have become addicts as they serve abroad (Nixon 1971). President Nixon was outgoing saying that substance abuse is the United State’s fault, because of their inability to control drugs going in and out of the United States during the Vietnam War. The Drug Abuse Control Act of 1965 is designed to prevent both the misuse and the illicit traffic of potentially dangerous drugs, especially the sedatives and the stimulants, which are so important in the medicines that we use today. Limiting the use of narcotics is not a new idea in the United States, and has been introduced since 1965. What needs to be done to help benefit people today is new legislation, one that matches with today’s standards on substance abuse. The United States tried to set a precedent in the past when it came to the misuse of narcotics, instead they gave future leaders a place to start their fight to end substance abuse as a...

...Bryan D. Hopkins English 102 Section #: 27543 May 1, 2013 Manipulation and Spin Surrounding the Proposed Firearms Legislation Manipulation and Spin Surrounding the Proposed Firearms Legislation One of the most contentious political debates currently embroiling the United States and its legislative bodies is Senate Amendment 715 To protect Second Amendment rights, ensure that all individuals who should be prohibited from buying a firearm are listed in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, and provide a responsible and consistent background check process co-sponsored by Democrat Senator Joe Manchin and Republican Senator Pat Toomey. The essential purpose this amendment intended to address is strengthen the procedures utilized when purchasing firearms from private citizens. However, there were several addendums included within the amendment that ultimately led to it not obtaining the prerequisite sixty votes required to achieve cloture on April 17, 2013. To understand the rationale of why Senate Amendment 715 did not receive the sixty vital cloture votes necessary, an examination of the manipulation and spin mass media sources employed must be undertaken. Throughout this debate, it seems like the typical arguments in favor of and against remained from the identical organizations that spawned them in the past. It is worth noting, there were a small number of new pro firearms control organizations created to try an ensure victory for this amendment...

...our time. Our organization recently decided to promote Congressional interest in a modified version of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, including addenda that provide a path to citizenship for immigrants younger than 12 years of age and augment enforcement and deportation efforts for adult immigrant criminals. In consideration of the goals and prospects of our proposed legislation and its implications for future immigration politics, there are several obstacles that appear relevant to its passage. Obstacles to Previous Reform Attempts One of the greatest challenges for our group to confront is the elevated level of partisanship currently present in Congress and the federal government as a whole. Research demonstrates that over the last several decades, increasing division along party lines-- particularly in Congress’ voting patterns—has ignited simultaneous division over immigration policy and reform. A 2011 study released by the Immigration Reform Caucus of the House of Representatives revealed that agreement on immigration-related legislation in both the House had dropped on average 4 - 5% with each successive session of Congress. These numbers correlated closely with similar analyses of changes in party polarization during the same period (1975-2005). Overall, these data portray the Democrats' as supporters of policy that is more forgiving for undocumented immigrants—including more amnesty initiatives and citizenship measures, while reflecting...

It is important for nurse leaders to maintain a certain awareness of the changes and be active participates in advocating and decision-making of the political issues that arise for the health care field and nursing, especially in their particular field of practice. Although there may be times that a nurse leader may need to advocate for other fields of nursing, politics, and policy making. Health care is affected by decisions made by the federal and state government. The persons in those seats are mainly political personal and not health care people. Because these people are not medical or nursing people, the decisions made may impact negatively the field or profession that is why it is important for nurse leaders and nurses to be aware of the decisions made about the profession and health care. Becoming a member of a professional organization will help nurse leaders increase their knowledge about the issues affecting the nursing profession and health care in the federal and state level of legislation. Nurse leaders should consider participating in professional organizations and political issues to provide feedback and input that affect the delivery of health care and the nursing profession.

...there is a constant political struggle of Republicans versus Democrats for control over the legislation that passes through Congress and majority control over Congress itself. Having a party have majority control of Congress is important in making sure that a political parties agenda passes through Congress and becomes law. By having most congressmen as a certain political party it allows the party to make sure that the parties voice is heard the loudest and allows for the most support for particular legislation. Being the minority party in Congress means that one will have to fight much harder in order to make sure the party gets its point across to the other members of Congress. Through this political party system the majority party can make sure that its members will get certain ideas and ideals within legislature as well as making sure that the minority party has its influence suppressed if it goes against the majority parties goals (Kirkland, 2015, p. 265). Political party has a major influence over Congress as political parties fight for their ideas, morals, and goals to become legislation throughout the entire...

...Interest groups are specialized group that support a certain legislation and they succeed in their goal with the help of lobbyist. After carefully analyzing both the articles I believe that there should definitely be more strict observance of the actions of interest groups and the activities of lobbyists as a single association with immense amount of wealth can alter the decision in their favor contradicting the norms and values of the society. eg Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA) is an old running organization with thousands of members and millions in funds, can easily turn the tables in their desired way by buying off legislators. (Legislation 1) This can result in a gun law being passed that can cause a sense of unsafety in the region of Texas giving air and free space to terrorism. On the other hand, interest groups and lobbying may play a positive role as it unites a community with same voice under one flag and can easily provide access to elected leaders with professional services which otherwise would have been nearly impossible. But this can still prove more beneficial for...

...It will ultimately be argued that the House of Commons remains far more effective due to having greater powers in checking the government power. Firstly, the House of Commons has the ultimate check on government power via a vote of no confidence, this last happened in 1979 when Margaret Thatcher was able to be elected due to the Labour government's failure. The vote of no confidence allows the House of Commons to directly confront the government which creates a mutual respect between the government and the House of Commons as they can get rid of a government if they believe the government is failing to use its power correctly and effectively. Also, only the House of Commons has the power to reject legislation compared to the House of Lords which can only suspend the legislation for a maximum of 2 years. For example, in 2001 the House of Lords voted 317-68 against a fox hunting ban, and in 2004 they again threw out the plans for a complete ban, however in November 2004 the parliamentary act was invoked and the bill came into force in 2005. However, the fact the House of Lords is more independently minded they are willing to check the executive. Crucially, there are a large number of cross benchers such as Lord Best which allows for personal opinions to be heard as most of them don't need to stick with their party. Also, whips have far less impact on the peers careers as most them have been part of parliament or government meaning they don't care if they raise a few eyebrows...

Structurally, culturally, and ideologically the Civil Rights movement began decades before the nation became aware of it. The work of civil rights activists such as A Philip Randolph, beginning in the mid 1920’s, affected change in the structure of government by pushing for anti-discriminatory legislation for Black workers. Further affecting structural institutions was the effect that World War II had on Black Americans, who were disillusioned by the hypocrisy of the United States fighting for...
