...Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States, and he served two terms from 1829-1837. While serving as president Jackson was able to thoroughly assert his will on the nation while consistently retaining an overwhelming popular stature amongst the citizens of the U.S. Jackson’s presidency has been widely debated and analyzed in terms of its effectiveness compared to other U.S. presidents. Proponents of Jackson’s presidency point to Jackson’s ability to focus legislation that directly supported the “common man” as a representation of Jackson’s efficiency. Opponents of Jackson’s presidency look to the times that followed Jackson as disastrous and set up by an irresponsible and inefficient eight years in office. Andrew Jackson...

...three times that Georgia had no right to oversee Indian government. Andrew Jackson, however, openly ignored the decision as he pushed for further settlement westward. Jackson’s disregard for Marshall’s ruling when it came to the sovereignty of Indians changed the role of the Presidency. In the past, the Supreme Court’s decision would have been final, and the President could veto a bill only if it was deemed unconstitutional. Now, however, Jackson had increased the authority of the Executive Branch by giving it the ability...

...1803 // Marbury Vs. Madison In result of the Judiciary Act of 1801, John Adams rushed to fill as many judiciary positions with federalist views. The new congress and his predecessor were to be a majority controlled by Democratic Republicans, he saw this as a last ditch effort to have at least on branch controlled by Federalists. This made for what is now known as the “midnight appointments.” He did make one mistake which was filing the last order during the time period in which Adams had no such authority. The person who did have power during this period did not solidify Marbury’s claim to his judiciary spot. Bringing us to the influential case which is Marbury Vs. Madison which begged the question: “What power did the Judicial Branch have?” The significance of this case was that it amplified the ideas of judicial review and made the branch a coequal to other branches. Previously, the powers of the branch were restricted to the constitutionality of state laws, something that is not as influential in comparison to other branch roles. John Marshall did go a step ahead and highlighted judicial review, stating its necessity in maintaining balance of checking federal...

...by states it can be restricted at various degrees. Just like the right to abortion has been a platform of argument, struggle of asking Milwaukee’s resident to pay rent which accounts for more than half of their “income”. Most of the income of these families came from welfare, which was reduced by Clinton, leading to 22,000 families being cut from welfare. Women like Arleen, who had two kids, depended highly on welfare and “for years, politicians have known that families could not survive on welfare alone” (Demond 58). It was hard for women like Arleen to demand more welfare money or even maintain it at a steady amount because she had to state/prove why she needed that amount of money whereas men like Lamar, who got two welfare checks by mistake and choose to use them both aren’t cut back from welfare but rather not given welfare for a month. Evicted portrays the hardships that Arleen must face due to being a single mother of two boys. As Arleen struggles to find a cheap place where “the rent was $550 a month, utilities not included, the going rate in 2008 for a two-bedroom unit in one of the worst neighborhoods in America’s fourth-poorest city”, she must give 88% of her welfare check toward a sustainable living for her sons and herself (Demond 3). In 1900s there was a new phenomenon that was emerging known as “new women” which led to women, who were becoming more independent and breaking social constraints that tied them to just taking care of home and kids. Women started to...

...THE GREAT RECESSION Since publication of Robert L. Hetzel’s he Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve (Cambridge University Press, 2008), the intellectual consensus that had characterized macroeconomics has disappeared. hat consensus emphasized eicient markets, rational expectations, and the eicacy of the price system in assuring macroeconomic stability. he 2008–2009 recession not only destroyed the professional consensus about the kinds of models required to understand cyclical luctuations but also revived the credit-cycle or asset-bubble explanations of recession that dominated thinking in the nineteenth century and irst half of the twentieth century. hese “market-disorder” views emphasize excessive risk taking in inancial markets and the need for government regulation. he present book argues for the alternative “monetary-disorder” view of recessions. A review of cyclical instability over the last two centuries places the 2008–2009 recession in the monetary-disorder tradition, which focuses on the monetary instability created by central banks rather than on a boom-bust cycle in inancial markets. Robert L. Hetzel is Senior Economist and Research Advisor in the Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, where he participates in debates over monetary policy and prepares the bank’s president for meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee. Dr. Hetzel’s research on monetary policy and the history of central banking has appeared in publications...

.... Organization Theory Challenges and Perspectives John McAuley, Joanne Duberley and Phil Johnson . This book is, to my knowledge, the most comprehensive and reliable guide to organisational theory currently available. What is needed is a text that will give a good idea of the breadth and complexity of this important subject, and this is precisely what McAuley, Duberley and Johnson have provided. They have done some sterling service in bringing together the very diverse strands of work that today qualify as constituting the subject of organisational theory. Whilst their writing is accessible and engaging, their approach is scholarly and serious. It is so easy for students (and indeed others who should know better) to trivialize this very problematic and challenging subject. This is not the case with the present book. This is a book that deserves to achieve a wide readership. Professor Stephen Ackroyd, Lancaster University, UK This new textbook usefully situates organization theory within the scholarly debates on modernism and postmodernism, and provides an advanced introduction to the heterogeneous study of organizations, including chapters on phenomenology, critical theory and psychoanalysis. Like all good textbooks, the book is accessible, well researched and readers are encouraged to view chapters as a starting point for getting to grips with the field of organization theory. Dr Martin Brigham, Lancaster University, UK McAuley et al. provide a highly readable account...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves...
