...country.” The constitution safeguards and limits individuals rights are both considered to be suitable of the rights and safekeeping for everyone, which include in the legislature, the Bill of Right, court decision and the amendment. An event that occurred in my community, was when the government forced people to evacuate from their homes after a storm has crash in that leaves many family in tears. The Constitutional amendment that relates to that situation is the Fourth amendment because, the fourth amendment protected the people from unnecessary search of their homes without a consent from the judge. Which, make the people feel more protected from the government officials rifling through their homes without a warrant. The argument that could be made for or against the government forcing the people to evacuate their home would be that some of the people may be reasonable with the government because, they might believe that the government is showing interest on keeping them safe and protected after the storm. Others, might have another perspective about it because, they might think that the government is intruding in their personal lives and if they want an evacuation they don’t need the government to do that for them but they could call...

...Product, or GDP, is broken into four components: consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports of goods and services. Personal consumption is the spending on goods and services by consumers, excluding the purchases of new homes. Investment is the spending towards goods or services that can produce a profit, such as homes and structures. Government purchases are made by local, state, and federal governments, and include goods and services like highway and building construction. Net exports is the value of a country’s domestic goods and services sold abroad, minus the value of imports from other countries. Consumption affects me as a consumer every day. Everything I purchase, such as food, clothes, or a car, falls under the GDP component of consumption. Additionally, the bills I pay for services, such as apartment renting, cellular service, and insurance, fall under this umbrella as well. Inflation can directly affect how I spend my money on consuming goods and services, since my dollar can have more or less buying power as the rate of the dollar changes in value. Also, an increase or decrease in my income can affect how much I consume in the market, contributing to the GDP. Spending also depends on how I view the market, and my optimism of its future. I am more likely to purchase things if I predict that the market, as well as my income, will remain stable. Investment does not affect me as much as consumption, since I do not run a business or currently own a...

...wind and solar energy as source of energy is not new revelation too me, many European countries, such as the Netherlands, my birthplace, are not new in utilizing wind and solar energies. What this case brought me to really learn was the involvement and the relationship of the U.S and China government in the solar energy industry. It came as no surprise to me that the U.S government was subsidizing the solar energy, however what came to light to me was the level of international competitiveness and political gridlock between China and the U.S in the solar energy industry. It was interesting to touch on the issue if governments should intervene in the market place. It became clear, that it was tough issue for the government to tackle, with one side of the government arguing that government intervention in the solar energy industry is hurtful and detrimental to business, highlighting the case of Solyndra bankruptcy. The other side, Obama administration, argues that the U.S needs to continue to subsidize and give tax break to solar energy companies to make them competitive in the international markets. The confusing issue, in solving this case is the involvement of international governments subsidiaries to competing solar energy companies in the market. In particular, China’s high subsidiary and loans to the renewable energy industry. Due to the world’s ever-globalized economy, the actions of other governments in...

...Nichole Plyler Dr. Pierson BA-2008-205 September 11, 2015 Government’s Role and Government Failure Government’s Economic Role Government’s Right to Coerce In economic activities, government has the right to force individuals to do things. So if I bought and sold ducks for a business, I would want to make sure the distribution of ducks are high. If the distribution is low, my business won’t do as well in comparison if the distribution was high. With the less distribution of ducks, government is forcing me to pay more money to get my ducks. Private sectors economic activities, however, government has the right to administer involuntary transactions. So if I bought some ducks for my business and had to take a loan out from the bank because I didn’t have enough money, did not pay the loan back, government has the right to throw me in jail. Some people believe that the control that government has over us is too much control. Although with too much control it could be beneficial. With government’s control there is a correction for market failures. By government setting taxes on goods and services it helps improve economic efficiency. With higher taxes leads to private vectors over producing. Private sectors start over producing because their costs are borne by third parties rather than by their producers. In order to prevent sectors from over producing government can enforce involuntary policies. If I was getting duck bedding, food and shelter to run my business and not paying...

...called the Census and Statistics Department, HKSAR.The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) together with statistical units established in various government departments forms the Government Statistical Service (GSS), representing a network for the provision of government statistical services. The latter are generally called the "outposted statistical units". Broadly speaking, most general-purpose statistics come under the responsibility of C&SD. The statistical units in various government departments take care of specific-purpose statistics and provide necessary support in the application of statistics. Generally speaking, the whole work of C&SD can be classified into three categories: 1) Conducting statistical surveys and operating statistical systems for the production of social and economic statistics including data series on such areas as population, external trade, commerce and industry, labour, prices, national income and Balance of Payments; 2) Performing statistical analysis and disseminating statistical data and analytical results; and 3) Providing consultation and support services on statistical matters to various government departments. And the mission of C&SD is 1) to provide adequate, relevant, reliable and timely statistics to facilitate research, discussion, planning and decision making within the government and in the community; 2) to ensure that the compilation and dissemination of statistics are in accordance with scientific principles, professional ethics...

...in our government system in America. I will include a description of the roles of the President, and other members of our government structure in America. The role of the government has done some major changing since the beginning of democracy. Some of these changes that have occurred have weakened our government system. The definition of democracy is a government run by the people of the country. My personal definition of democracy is having officials that will do what is best for the citizens of the country. I also feel that this should be done with the utmost respect and morals. I feel that this is the way that our fore fathers would have wanted it. I truly believe that our country started on these values and beliefs. Is that where it has really ended up? Democracy has a different meaning to everyone. One fact that we can all agree on is that democracy is one of the most important things in our life in America. The fact that we all wake in the morning to living in a free country is something that we as Americans thrive on. Some things that we must pay close attention to is the control that the government has over the citizens of America. As Ronal Reagan said “Government is not a solution to our problem”. The Constitution was made to protect the rights of the citizens of America. The original creators of the Constitution wanted to make sure that the government did not get so powerful that the citizen’s rights were in no way swayed. With the way that the government is now-...

...1. “I was persuaded to stop writing that book. I started it four more times during the next twenty years. On each occasion, my decision to begin again was influenced by current world events: the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989, the first Gulf War, Somalia, the rise of Osama bin Laden. However, threats or bribes always convinced me to stop. In 2003, the president of a major publishing house that is owned by a powerful international corporation read a draft of what had now become Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. He described it as "a riveting story that needs to be told." Then he smiled sadly, shook his head, and told me that since the executives at world head-quarters might object, he could not afford to risk.” The statement above was very appealing to me, I think it is because my family is constantly talking about how twisted our government truly is. The fact that there was something to hide so they persuaded him to stop writing it makes me realize how intimidating they must be. And then how he talk about all the wars, invasions, and other twisted things he was discussing made some one scared to publish the book even though they believe he needed to be said. 2. “This book is the confession of a man who, back when I was an EHM, was part of a relatively small group.

...OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, ON THE DUTY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE *** Typed by Sameer Parekh (zane@ddsw1.MCS.COM) On the Duty of Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau [1849, original title: Resistance to Civil Goverment] I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe—"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it. Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure. This American...

From my seventh grade year through my eleventh grade year, I have been apart of the Student Government Association. For seventh and eighth grade, I was an active representative, but for ninth through eleventh grade, I was the student class president each year. My dream of eventually being Student Body President during my senior year was destroyed when I had to move to Phoenix, Arizona during the middle of my eleventh grade year. My election as Class President presented me with the opportunity to learn the skills of leadership and taught me how to make a positive impact in my school and my community....

...subject of taxation has received considerable intellectual and theoretical attention in the literature. Taxation is one of the most volatile subjects in governance both in the developing and developed nations. Tax refers to a “compulsory levy by a public authority for which nothing is received directly in return” (James and Nobes, 1992). According to Nightingale (2001), “a tax is compulsory contribution, imposed by government, and while taxpayers may receive nothing identifiable in return for their contribution, they nevertheless have the benefit of living in a relatively educated, healthy and safe society”. She further explains that taxation is part of the price to be paid for an organized society and identified six reasons for taxation: provision of public goods, redistribution of income and wealth, promotion of social and economic welfare, economic stability and harmonization and regulation. In other words, a tax is an imposed levy by the government against the income, profits, property, wealth and consumption of individuals and corporate organizations to enable government obtain the required revenue to provide basic amenities, security and well-being of the citizens. First detailed information about taxation can be found in Ancient Egypt (Webber and Wildavsky, 1986). The Pharaohs appointed tax collectors (called scribes) and paid them high salaries to reduce the incentives to enrich themselves. Furthermore, scribes working in the field were controlled by a group of special scribes...

...What Freedom of Speech Means to Me To me, the right of freedom of speech in the first amendment in the Constitution is one of the most important rights American citizens have. It means that I can voice and express my personal opinions and uphold the original goals of our government. First, this gives me the right to voice and express myself wherever and whenever I choose, as long as I don’t interfere with anyone else’s Constitutional rights. Second, the United States would be in an extremely weak state if citizens didn’t have the right to freedom of speech. Without freedom of speech in our Bill of Rights, people couldn’t stand up for what they believe in. I think that if a person has an opinion or point they want to voice they should be able to without anything standing in their way. Furthermore, not having this right would mean that it would be nearly impossible for certain organizations to form because they wouldn’t be able to express their views. Also, since the United States has the freedom of speech, citizens are able to have a larger voice in their government. These people who voice their opinions can sway their government officials’ position on current issues. In conclusion, I believe that freedom of speech is a very essential part of our government’s relationship between citizens and government officials. If we didn’t have freedom of speech, our government wouldn’t be “of the people, by the people, for the people”; government officials would be making all...
