...brought new things to the Earth, a blood bath for the world. The war started very long before but, our country, the United States, joined in 1917. For many years, the U.S kept the neutrality between all countries, but on April 6th, 1917, that would all change. This war may have been in Europe but, boy did it hit home. Although many things happened, not all were at the war scene. Propaganda, the rationing of our food, and the drafting of our American men, well that happened here at home. During WW1, the war in the United states was very influential in the minds of normal people. Propaganda is known very well to influence the human's thoughts. Propaganda involved posters for victory Gardens, war bonds, four-minute men, volunteers in joining the war and women to become nurses. The idea of propaganda was to influence the war in the United States.Posters of victory gardens were influenced so more food could be saved, then sent to the soldiers overseas, while war bond posters were influenced to fund societies for the war, and then later on given back in larger amounts of money. Although there were people who were truly in the war overseas, the people of the U.S. were also a part of the war helping out although they were at home....

...The State of Today's Market Kerry S. Atkinson ECO/ 26 June 2012 Daniel Puente The State of Today's Market There are four key factors that should be discussed though there are many to consider when evaluating the state of an economy. The points for discussion will be unemployment, interest rates, expectations, and consumer income. This portion of analysis hits home for most Americans to where they understand the most. For most of the working class of Americans these four topics also dictate to their well being a bit more that of the elite class of society that though these topics may affect their lives and their investments or the corporations they own or take part in but in the lower and middle class these items affect whether or not employment opportunities exist. How goods are purchased or if they are purchased and at what price the goods are attained. These four key components also lend to the scarcity of goods and how they are perceived and purchased. Interest rates The economy is affected by interest rates in relation to mortgages, credit cards, government debt, and corporate bonds to name just a few. To break it down for better understanding, one can view interest rates based on short and long terms. Long-term interest rates are the price paid for the use of financial assets with long repayment periods. Some common examples are mortgages and government bonds (Colander, p. 312, 2010). On the other end of the spectrum, short-term interest rate is determined...

All this for the greater good of H2O aka water. which is good for saving preserving while using it for plants and willdlife that are effected as they also need freshwater. My essay will focus on history f the Everglades and how locals realized how important it was to save the Everglades. Background The first written record of the Everlades was on Spanish maps made by cartographers who had not seen the land. They named the unknown area between the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts of Flordia Laguna Del Spirito (Lake of the Holy Spirit) The area appered in maps for decades without being explored. Writer John Grant Forbes stated in 1811 "The Indians represent (the south points) as impenetiable and the (British) as surveyors,wreckers and coasters had not means of exploring beyond the boarders of the sea coast and the mouths of rivers."1 Naturally the southern Flordia Southern waterflow is from Lake Okeechokee with Freshwater aka Everglades which estimated twenty thousant miles supporting many factors including farming,wilflife, and substaining many ecosystems that live there.The Everglades are the largest remaining sub-tropical wilderness in the lower forty eight states.

...LEGALIZING this will Benefit Everyone! For years a debate has be raging betweens two sides; one for the legalization of same sex marriage and the other for doing away with the idea as a whole. If the illegality of the current topic continues then it can only damage us all in negative ways as a whole being that the United States people are all that stand in its way or atleast had been for the past years. Each day millions of Gay citizens of this country contribute to the growth of our nation and everyones wallets whether it be spiritually, politically, vocationally, socially, or culturally. The citizens of our country that make up these groups (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual) are a detremental piece to the puzzle that builds our economy and country as a whole. If these groups were to withdrawl their many contributions to this country, then it would affect the system as a whole in only negative ways. By legalizing same sex marriage then it will show these groups that they are equal to every other citizen as well as capable of having the same exact benefits. After all this country has been known to be quite the advocate for equal rights through out time based on all sorts of issues in the past such as racial discrimination, womens rights, immigration etc Affirming these minor groups in society will reduce prejudice in groups by supporting cultural diversity, thus promoting a better environment for anyone to thrive in a more accepting society. This will also boost...

Popular Sovereignty means the ultimate power rests with the people an example would be "The U.S goverment can only govern with the consent of its citizens. all goverment leaders exist soley to serve the people". Checks and Balances means that no one branch of the government can overpower the other branches of government. Each has a check on the power of the other branches. An example would be how it is a safe gaurd from tyranny by any one branch of goverment making any loss of speed worthwhile when looking...

...the most effective worldwide, for example our government guarantees: civil rights, social programs, and our stable economy. A very important function the U.S government provides us with is our civil rights. Jonathan Smith of the constitution law review states “ The U.S guarantees that all citizens of the United States regardless of sex, race, or, religion have the same equal rights under the law.” Wherever you come from in America all citizens have the same equal right. Our civil rights protect personal liberty, guarantees us our equal access to public services, and It also ensures us the right to vote. Voting gives us the opportunity to be heard in our government our freedom of speech which is part of the 1st amendment gives us the right to say whatever is on our mind without being punished. Our civil rights have created Americas government system stable and powerful. Besides this the U.S government is also stable in social programs for citizens. Not only does the government provide us with our civil rights, but it also provides us with social programs. Social Programs include: welfare, housing ( section 8), health care, and federal deposit insurance. Stated by David Broder from the Ashes of The New Deal “ In the united states has developed a variety of social programs that meet the needs of our citizens, students, the unemployed, the homeless and those considered beneath the poverty line.” Many civilians don't have the money to to fund their family or are not able to buy food...

I will accomplish this task by examining the four mission-specific outcomes of senior leaders as described in Thomas P. Galvin’s article, “Welcome to the Seminar,” provide examples from the Introduction to Strategic Studies Course case study and subsequently identify two of those mission specific outcomes that I believe that will be critical to my success as an emerging strategic leader.

...lessen the dangers of these factions. When our goverment first started it was made originally to help and be closely tied to the citizens of the United States. Some aspects of this has changed since the beginning of the constitution resulting in some majority and minority rule change. When the Consititution was first written it was made to simply limit majority rule and give eqaul amount of power to the minority. The national goverment was originally built closely tied to citizens because of the House of Repesentatives. The House of Representatives was made to give citizens an equal say in the legislation of the United States. Unlike in the Senate, members of the House are elected by the people of the United States giving citizens a say in govenment affairs. One of the major aspects of the national goverment that is tied to citizens is the short term lenght and frequency of elections of people holding an office in the goverment. With the short term lenght and frequency of elections citizens are constantly contributing to what is going on in the nation by voting on who will be the best candidate for a certain office. A third reason the national goverment is closely tied to citizens is that the House of Representatives represents small member districts. This causes there to be close to equal say for everyone in a state to elect someone to represent thier ideas and views without on group of people having an uneqaul say. The United States Constitution was also made to limit the power...

...Andrew Jackson sent a letter to the congress about rotating goverment jobs on December 8, 1896. Andrew Jackson finds out that the National bank has been using the bank's money to use for gambling on February 1834. On December 7, 1829, Jackson wrote a letter to the congress about the indian removal act. On December 8, 1896, Andrew jackson’s letter to the congress on the rotating goverment jobs, says that highly perspicacious men are likely to qualify the goverment jobs. The limit of governing is up to 4 years. He says that jobs like this are made for the welfare of the people. He says that nobody has more rights than others to govern. I believe he only selected his friends on these jobs to agree with him on anything. For example if he didn't like a new law that was coming up, he could easily veto it. If the people that did like the law and voted against Jackson will be out numbered because jackson friends will obviously take his side. The people who went against jackson will most...

...Administration the American economy had gained an annual surplus of two hundred billion dollars. Most of that is due to the sudden rise and hype of the dot com companies. Maybe Clinton was lucky. When Bush was nominated a sudden unfortunate rise of lay-offs sprung up. Thousands have been laid off since his nomination. The manufacturing and computer industries were the main industries seriously hurt. It is almost impossible for an individual to get a job from Computer Science, MIS, and information technologies. Hundreds of electrical and computer engineers were laid off as companies lost revenues. With less employees you need less accountants and managers and so forth. The goverment has spent millions on The War on Terror which I beleive was neccessary. More money is being spent and lives are being lost over seas. The United States needs financial help and is asking other nations for millitary aid in Iraq or even financial aid. President Bush's approval rating has fallen to a certain degree. It seems as though the purpose of Iraq is not clear anymore. People feel that Bush needs to concentrate on America's ailing economy rather than funding for wars. The confidence in the American people is low right now regarding the economy. Everyone is scared and holding on their money in fear of losing their jobs. Though there has been some gain in momentum of fixing the economy, the pace of that is very slow. President Bush had just asked about eighty seven billion dollars for Iraq and Afghanistan. Where...
