...Process? It is often said that young people lack interest and concern in politics, showing indifference to the modern political process. This claim will be explored in the context of contemporary Britain, acknowledging possible explanations for this apathy and analysing how recent trends may be affecting the level of political interest amongst the youth culture. The difference between old and modern politics will also be discussed, examining how this fits in with youth culture. To begin to acknoweldge why young people may be apathetic towards the modern political process, it is crucial to understand how the youth view politics and how these views have been acquired. For some it would seem that there is a definite lack of education in what politics is, rather than a complete lack of interest. The National Curriculum consists of 4 key stages and it is not until Citizenship lessons at key stage 3 (11 - 14 years old) that British children are taught "knowledge and understanding about becoming informed citizens" (National Curriculum Online: nc.uk.net) which includes topics on politics. Because of the legal obligations to schools to abide by the National Curriculum many find it difficult or impossible to offer content outside of its scope - the result being that only National Curriculum material is covered. In terms of political education, this means that many children have had no educational of politics since the introduction of the National Curriculum in 1989. Hence large numbers...

Chapter 8 is a continuation of this topic, but with a description of various influence tactics. CHAPTER OUTLINE AND LECTURE NOTES To function effectively, leaders must use power effectively, including applying political tactics to acquire and retain power. I. SOURCES AND TYPES OF POWER To exercise influence, a leader must have power, the potential or ability to influence decisions and control resources. A. Position Power A standard method of classifying power is based on whether the power stems from the organization or the individual. 1. Legitimate Power. Power granted by the organization is referred to as legitimate power. This power increases as one moves up the organization ladder. 2. Reward Power. The authority to give employees rewards for compliance is referred to as reward power. 3. Coercive Power. The power to punish for noncompliance is referred to as coercive power. It is based on fear. 4. Information Power. Having formal control over information that people need to do their work is referred to as information power. B. Personal Power Three sources of power stem from characteristics or behaviors of the power actor: expert power, referent power, and prestige power...

...ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT When I entered employment with FreightQ the company’s organisational structure had labour divided according to the products it transported. Due to the large demand for the transportation of a particular product (coal) support was provided by means of a parallel division. This supporting division, entitled National Customer Strategy (NCS), focused on retaining and attracting new coal customers. The NCS division identified a need to provide customers with complete supply chain solution. To achieve this, FreightQ had to provide a service which spanned across its different divisions. The desire to offer a complete supply chain solution resulted in the creation of a temporary project team (PT) within the NCS division. As part of PT’s complete supply chain, it initiated investigations into Next Generation Rollingstock (NGR). When FreightQ restructured six months later, PT became part of the Strategy and Business Development (S&BD) division. Other important changes for this analysis are: * Jimmy James, General Manager of NCS was appointed Vice President of Business Development within S&BD. * Mandy Marcus, the Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the old Coal Division left FreightQ. * Paul Patrick, the Group General Manager for National Capital Planning and Programs became the Vice President for Maintenance. When PT was formed I was appointed as the Engineering Services Lead within the project. I stayed with the...

...from the other side of the political isle? My personal life has been arranged in a such a way that I can avoid those that I would normally disagree with so this exercise was initially difficult as my memory bank was flung open to identify that one person that would fit the bill. Then a small twinkling remembrance; Sherrill, the smart and extremely passionate supporter of all political positions that I avoid. She would be wonderful candidate for a lunch date and it was a very meaningful hour. Having worked with her for a number of years, I grew to know her fairly well but we would not be considered close friends. Sherrill is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and a creative person who received a degree in journalism and applied that in a marketing role at the company we work for. Her passion was evident when describing anything related to democratic causes and that would come through in her ability to successfully argue her position. But this lunch meeting would...

...down the misconception people have towards PACS In this intriguing article, Sabato first addresses many of the criticism held towards lacks providing more depth into the economical situation of elections, and the mindset of these committees. He first begins by talking about the three common criticisms held towards PACS. One of the common criticism he addresses is that PACS make campaign expensive due to the vast amount of money need to match each others donation, and Sabato completely accepts this by completely quoting Will Rogers, “Politics has got so expensive that it takes a lot of money to even get beat with”. While Sabato agrees with this statement, he adds a slight caveat to it. Saying that “Yet $256 million (the total amount spent by all of the US House of Representatives) is far less than the annual advertising budgets of many individual commercial enterprises”. He makes the case, seemingly convincingly, that with the advent of new marketing techniques, like Television time, polling cost etc.. it is natural that the amount being spent on campaign has increased. While he does make a reasonable point, we see a hint of his bias coming through. He ignores the causation here. New and improved communication techniques has lead to an increase amount of spending, but candidates are able to use these new techniques due to funding from PACS, and other big donors. However, even with these slight flaws in his argument, Sabato still creates an extremely convincing and comprehensible...

...POLITICS, THEOLOGY AND HISTORY RAYMOND PLANT CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Politics, Theology and History is a major new book by a prominent academic and an active politician. It ranges widely across the disciplines of theology, political theory and philosophy and poses acute questions about the basic moral foundations of liberal societies. Lord Plant focuses on the role that religious belief can and ought to play in argument about public policy in a pluralistic society. He examines the potential political implications of Christian belief and the ways in which it may be deployed in political debate. The book is a contribution to the modern debate about the moral pluralism of western liberal societies, discussing the place of religious belief in the formation of policy and asking what sorts of issues in modern society might be the legitimate objects of a Christian social and political concern. Raymond Plant has written an important study of the relationship between religion and politics which will be of value to students, academics, politicians, church professionals, policy makers and all concerned with the moral fabric of contemporary life. r ay m on d pl an t is Professor of European Political Thought at the University of Southampton and a Member of the House of Lords. He was a Home affairs spokesperson for the Labour Party from 1992 to 1996, and Master of St Catherine's College, Oxford, from 1994 to 2000. Lord Plant's main publications are Social and Moral Theory in Casework...

...corporate lobbyists that funnel campaign checks into the big war chests, that's what brought me to the Green Party, the only national party that is not bought and paid for by corporate money." She supports environmentalism, non-violence, social justice and grassroots organizing (bringing things from the community level.) One of her main goals is called the Green New Deal and it kills two birds with one stone; creating jobs in renewable energy, it not only would reduce unemployment but also will help the climate and eventually peoples health. Self-Competency: Jill graduated from medical school and worked with adults and young people, eventually she realized she couldn’t do both this and politics. She says what she is doing now is “political medicine.” She says they have to heal the politics in order to achieve health in all other aspects of society. Diversity Competency: Jill Stein is actually the first Jewish woman presidential candidate. She stands for rights of the disabled, rights of all individuals to choose their intimate partners, religious freedom, etc. Across cultures competency: This may be a far fetch, but I think based on the words in the book “think globally, act locally” Jill embraces the across cultures competency. I’m going to go into immigration here, Stein says if she were president she would aim to create a legal and welcoming path to citizenship. She would also try to fix the problem by negotiating NAFTA (a free trade agreement) to...

...engage in influencing political decision-making, in order to successfully implement certain political goals or values (Truman, 33). They usually, but not always, are formally organized. The relation between interest groups and government and society is an affirmative one, although groups may at times employ destructive methods in order to accomplish their goals. The existing social order is accepted by interest groups, and governmental power and its institutions are utilized to attain advantages, protect members, and to fight political opponents. As you see they all relate to political decision making, political goals, and organization of people. In Washington DC there are nearly seven thousand organizations that are represented by politics. These interest groups are also referred to as Lobby’s or Lobbyists. The textbook we use gives the opinion that interest groups are a group of people with shared ideas and attitudes who attempt to influence public policy. The Economic Interest Group is Certainly the largest category, economic interest groups include organizations that represent big business, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), as well as (1) big labor — the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization...

...Madison Tenenbaum Period 3 Political socialization is a lifelong process by which people form their ideas about politics and acquire political values. The family, educational system, peer groups, and the mass media all play a role. While family and school are important early in life, what our peers think and what we read in the newspaper and see on television have more influence on our political attitudes as adults. As a 17 year old, I would say that my political socialization might differ from the norm. Both my mother and father are Republicans, but I feel as if I would consider myself a Libertarian. I don’t have a first political memory, because I feel like I never heard my parents talk about politics. It was like there was a whole other world that I have just discovered this year in class. As for political tolerance, I feel as if this country should have order, but still able to have some freedom under certain circumstances. There should be certain lines that one can not cross to be able to keep society in order, otherwise the country would be too chaotic. In my opinion, I don’t agree with having a two party system. The fact that there is one, they are both more worried about the party interest instead of what the people actually want. Most people feel like they have to vote for either a democrat or a republican, and while doing that they lose sight in their political interest. I believe that as one person, my vote will matter as far as the final outcome...

...George Washington’s “Farewell Address” George Washington wrote a farewell speech in 1796, marking the retirement of his leadership of the United States of America. He published his goodbye, titled his “Farewell Address,” in many papers. The long, revised copy of his speech, originally intended to be read at the end of his first term, tells of how he wanted to retire four years previous, but how he had been begged to stay on. He states that he never considered himself to be worthy of leading the country, and then goes on to give his thoughts and opinions of many matters in the government. Looking at the way he had led the country for the previous eight years, and the 45 he had given to serving it, should only make this country want to heed his warnings and advice. George Washington was a great man, with the country’s best interest at heart and mind, and only gave his honest opinion regarding many subjects such as the importance of national union and the constitution. He also spoke of the evils and dangers of political parties and debt, and stressed the importance of religion and morality in our government. In all honesty, no man ever left a more dignified farewell. Many people fought and died to make this country a nation; a whole....
