...What is freedom? Freedom is the ability to act, think or speak freely without limitation. The United States of America is notorious for being founded on the basis of freedom and democracy. Freedom is an amazing thing to have but there are times where it is used excessively causing harm around us. It is wonderful to be able to express opinions but there should be a limit as to what we should say to others or in public. John Stuart Mill argues that the government must never censor its citizens, no matter their opinion and that is agreeable to certain extent. The Bill of Rights is one of the nations essential founding documents added to the constitution in 1791. The Bill of Rights are the first 10 amendments to the constitution that limit the power of the United Stated federal government and itemizes fundamental rights and liberties provided to the people. The Founding fathers wanted to create a strong national government in which its citizens were able to have a voice in what goes on in the government. Though the constitution had already certain rights protected for the citizens many argued that those amendments weren’t enough for many citizens. Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers was pressuring the government to pass the bill of rights. “ A bill of rights he insisted is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular and what no just government should refuse” (Bessette and Pitney p.57). In other words, Jefferson wanted the...

In my opinion is possibly the most corrupt country which has ever come to being having a thirst for more time and time again those is power have chosen the wrong over right just to receive a quick pay day. No empathy whatsoever towards who they may be hurting in the process just to feed their selfish desires. The fact that our economy mostly benefits the 1% who have ridiculous amounts of assets and help them even more to earn and grow whilst the rest of the population suffer over the lack of income and result to squatting, theft and other ways to help their family or themselves. 2. Social - one summary word: Disaster. There have been no time where we as a Filipino have not kept our promise in time or words being 2 or 3 hours late and blaming the traffic not ourselves. Even new found friends will ask to 'borrow' money without the slightest hesitation (a request to send money by Western Union into the province was not uncommon!) Only few politicians or even those in the higher social standing to the average citizen will sugar coat and not ever keep his word a broken word is like a gust of passing wind.

...Globalization for Businesses Sahar Aziz Critical Thinking and Decision Making in Business - 320 Monday, May 18th, 2015 Professor Jim Scholes Globalization for Businesses Globalization has been taking its course in the world for many, many years. It can be dated back to the times of Genghis Khan and the Silk Road. Trading has been occurring for hundreds of years, even though some may say that globalization didn’t exist until the last few decades. Whichever way or view one decides to look at it, globalization is inevitable, however, the positivity and growth that come with the implementation of globalization far outweigh any negative effects, for both businesses and consumers. (1, Premise) Globalization comes with a wide variety of positive effects. (1, Conclusion) It offers increased competition amongst businesses, thus leading to a better quality production of products and services. It offers improvements in organizations, goods and services. (2, Premise) Worldwide trading gives companies and businesses the opportunity to outsource their employees in other countries. (2, Conclusion) In turn, this assists in providing a vast amount of better job opportunities in developing countries, while cutting the costs of their businesses at the same time. Competition (3, Premise) Due to globalization, the widespread competition amongst businesses has increased...

...Branches of Government Team A HIS/301 30 Apr 2016 Mr. Joseph Richardson University of Phoenix After winning the Revolutionary War the Founding Fathers of the United States of America needed to come together on how they were going to run their new independent country. They all came together and decided they wanted their country governed based on a Constitution that followed natural law. They also wanted the separation of branches of government with checks and balances to ensure no one branch gets too much power, which is still in use to this present day. There are three branches of government that come together to make up a bill and keep it in place. There is the legislative branch, executive branch, and judicial branch. The legislative branch is there to make the laws. The executive branch carries these laws out and finally the judicial branch evaluates all these laws. The founding fathers put these three branches in place having in mind that they wanted all three to have equal power and an equal amount of work. These three branches consist of many checks and balances to share the power; it’s all about compromising. Each branch checks the power of the other branches to make sure power is balanced between each of them. The legislative branch introduces and votes on a bill, and then the bill goes to the executive branch where the president decides whether or not to veto the bill. Finally, once a bill is passed people can test it through the court system and this...

...December 2, 2011 US Politics POLISCI 101.08 Theories of Presidential Power Under Article II of the Constitution When first researching the topic for this paper, I found many interesting theories about implied presidential powers. There are many people out there with interesting theories, but I will summarize only three that I found fascinating to me. The first is a theory by Richard Neustadt who believes that Presidents have the power to persuade. The next, a theory by Samuel Kernell, theorizes the presidential powers in terms of “going pubic.” The last theory I will summarize, a theory by Stephen Skowronek, theorizes the president’s implied powers in terms of political time. Richard Neustadt’s theory of power to persuade is an interesting one. His theory serves as one of the most documented well-known theories of presidential power. As well as being a political scientist, he also served as an advisor for many United States Presidents. In his theory, he states that presidents cannot lead directly. If they really want something done, they cannot do it by themselves the power of the United States government is vastly dispersed and the president cannot, by himself, command and receive. Its much more complicated than that. Other levels of government have different constituencies and different sources of power and interest. The president is one individual and needs others to get things done. Neustadt states that presidential power is a “function of his or her ability to...

...Reflective Assignment The Political Nonviolent Activism of Martin Luther King Jr. I will focus on the life and the nonviolent political activism of Martin Luther King Jr. King Jr. is a world-renowned figure for his nonviolent pursuit of justice, equality, liberty and freedom for all, he worked tirelessly for racial equality and civil rights within the United States of America and his values of beliefs have been referenced the world over in similar pursuits. He is most well known for a speech he gave on the steps of Washington D.C.’s Lincoln memorial in 1963 entitles “I Have a Dream …” at the “March on Washington”. Section 1 (a) Montgomery Bus Boycott In the city of Montgomery Alabama 1955, it would not be surprising to see buses segregated by race; in fact city law to enforce it. When entering buses whites entered and sat at the front filling towards the rear, blacks entered and sat at the rear filling toward the front. If there were no more seats the next black person onto the bus was to stand, when the next white person got on the closest row of black people to the front were required to stand (Clayborne 224). The boycott began after a number of black women had been arrested for not vacating seats, the most recent before the boycott being Mrs. Rosa Parks (Phibbs). The boycott was organized and led by a number of now prominent civil rights activists along with Martin Luther King Jr., including but limited to: Ralph Abernathy, a leader of the American Civil Rights...

...Jacalan, Tristan A. POLISCI Final Paper Term 1, AY 2013 - 2014 The State of Music Today In my opinion, most of today’s music has no soul. Although opinions may differ, this statement holds true to many people. The music industry is slowly destroying music. It is a sad irony, but it true. Music has always been a lucrative way to make money. Music has always been a business. People paid to hear talented musicians play their music. People pay very large amounts, sometimes too extravagant, sums of money to watch their favorite bands or artists perform at live concerts. People constantly every release of their favorite band or artists. The fact is that, people spend money on music. Where there is money, there is greed. This is an inevitable fact. Everyone wants money and more money. Our lives revolve around money. This is where everything went wrong for the music industry. The business overpowered the music. The major record companies sign ‘hot acts’ or popular musicians to make money off them. It used to be that record companies were vessels in which the musician can use to let people hear their music. The true objective of a record company is to distribute the music of the artist and fairly pay the artist what they are rightly due. Record companies are not supposed to be bigger than the music, they are supposed to be about the music. They are supposed to support the artist and give the artist the means to make their music and then distribute that music to the fans. Popular...

...Running Header: Special Interest Special Interest Jermall Cuffee Professor: Dr. Jane El-Yacoubi POL 110 03/03/13 So, when the election is all over. What can the average American do to stay involved in the political arena and not have to wait for the next election? There is one significant way of influencing American government and that is through an Interest Group. Interest Groups also known as advocacy groups, lobbying groups or special interest, are in place to persuade or prevent changes in public policies. They exist for the solemn purpose of conveying the views and defending the interest of a part of society to public officials. There are all types of interest groups in America from animal rights groups to public interest groups to citizen groups. Interest groups get there start when James Madison developed the theme in “The Federalists (No. 10). In it he discussed factions, which was his term for interest groups and Madison believed that will always have diverse interest especially when it comes to economic circumstances and property ownership. Even though interest groups can be found deeply rooted in many different traditions and cultures such as Germany, they are common threads that can be observed in the development of interest groups mostly in Western industrial societies. There are about four phases in which the development of interest groups can be viewed. In what is called the first phase or the preindustrial phase beginning in the 1830s to the 1870s, there...

...Modernistic Views of the Nanjing Atrocity Introduction “Japanese people do not say something appropriate. When Iris Chang published her book ‘The Rape of Nanjing’ in 1997, an American ambassador gave explanation that Japanese is deeply repentant for accepting that they killed hundreds of thousands Chinese people. Did the Japanese representative really mean to take all criticisms without anything to say? Not only the representative of Japan but also we, the Japanese people, have a problem about explaining historical facts in foreign language especially in English. There are the facts, which are not yet lifting the veil in Japanese historical records. We should provide and send those in English translation.” Hiromichi Moteki, the Deputy Chairman for Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact, has given a speech of the Nanjing Massacre history that it should be reexamined and proved there is no evidence that Japanese Imperial army killed 300,000 Nanjing people. Not only Moteki is trying to broaden the historical facts, but also many Japanese historical researchers delve into the matter. Even though Nazi Germany, where there were dreadful massacres during World War II and Millions of people were approached unwilling dead by hunger, heavy laboring, poison gas, human experimentations by soldiers and doctors, they are reexamining own responsibilities and investigates the atrocities without regard for any limitation. Unlike Germany under the Nazi political power, Nanjing incident...

...Concept Paper: New Orleans Post-Katrina December 8, 2013 New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Katrina, which hit the southeast United States in late August of 2005 was one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes in United States history. The city of New Orleans was arguably hit the hardest by the hurricane. The objective of this paper is to analyze the link between economic, political, and social conditions in New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina and the conditions in New Orleans post-Katrina. Although natural disasters are an inevitability, the human suffering that citizens faced in New Orleans immediately following Katrina were largely avoidable, the result of a lack of adequate evacuation planning and massive governmental negligence. Furthermore, it was no accident which people suffered the most in the aftermath of Katrina. Financial, political, racial, and social disparities in New Orleans long before Katrina dictated who would be most affected after Katrina, both immediately and years after the hurricane. Rebuilding efforts, just like the evacuation, have tended to favor the rich and White and neglect the poor and Black. Pre-Katrina New Orleans was disproportionately Black and poor relative to the rest of the United States. According to 2000 U.S. Census data, Blacks made up 12.3% of the nation’s population while Whites made up 75.1% of the nation’s population (U.S. Census, 2000b). In contrast, the city of New Orleans was 28.1% White and 67.3% Black...
