The presidency of Barack Obama has a lot of controversial topics to discuss and to review. First of all, everybody knows that Obama’s ambitious intention to change the country with the new reforms was widely spread. The United States of America were expecting for a brand new historical page. Many voters believed in the promises that have been made to them. However a lot of politicians do that, but in the end not even the half of promised is implemented. After six years of state leadership some results are obvious. In fact two more years left and practically nothing improves the ...

The scope of corporate welfare policies date back to the close of the year 1960 when President Lyndon developed these policies as a means of addressing pertinent issues aligned with income inequalities. Precisely, corporate welfare policies seek to identify families that are distraughtly. This is attained through calculation of the annual budget spent by a family on food. As such, families whose, income is less than three times of their annual food budget are considered poor. In fact, such families are viewed to be in dire need for public assistance (Mattern, 2006). For this purpose, corporate welfare policies require the government ...

Working memory is the memory model, originally formulated Baddeley and Hitch (1974) and subsequently improved Baddeley (1986). The main assumptions of this model :

1. Concept of short-term memory should be replaced by the concept of "working memory system."

2. This concept is more functional, as related to the active handling and temporary storage of information.

3. Working memory is viewed as a complex multicomponent system, not as a separate storage unit.
According to this model, the system working memory consists of three major components. This is the central executive unit, the phonological loop (sometimes called the articulatory loop) ...

Presidents in the U.S. have different ways to exert their executive powers. The best known are called presidential directives. Presidential directives are “simply written, rather than oral, instructions or declarations issued by the president” .

Barack Obama has clearly benefited from the changes in attitudes brought about as a result of the lengthy civil rights struggle undertaken by generations of African Americans. The entire thrust of the Civil Rights movement—to come to a point where all Americans could be afforded equal opportunities rather than to continue a system in which opportunity was based on race—clearly made the public life of Barack Obama possible. As a biracial child of a white mother and an African father, without the gains of the Civil Rights movement, he would likely never have been able to attain a college education, a law degree, or ...

Government is divided in three branches namely executive, legislature (congress), and judiciary. Each of the three branches has different responsibilities and independent powers such that powers and duties allied to one branch do not conflict with those of the other branches. Separation of powers is a necessary to ensure a balance of power and prevent any branch from using such power arbitrarily. Separation of powers is a system-based regulation that enables each branch to limit the powers of another.

In line with the principle of separation of powers, congress has the power to change the arrangement and the federal courts’ jurisdiction. The ...

The major goal of passing the 13th Amendments that was to allow 4 million slaves’ freedom and was one of the goals of the radical reconstruction under the advanced policies of President Lincoln and President Johnson. The reconstruction begun from 1865 to 1877 that involved the federal will that brought the south in submission and protected the African American civil rights. This was one of the feasible one; the reconstruction was important to reunify the country and to establish the first constitutional steps for equality of white and black citizens ...

In regard to President Reagan’s statement on the criminalization of drugs, I find the following instances fallacious; He goes on state that, all youths are under the influence of drug abuse. In the opinion of these ensuing events, he failed to acknowledge the fact that, society is never uniform. His statement is, therefore, not logically conclusive. It is vague in the most of its positions.

On the same note, he failed to highlight whether the issue was affecting only the male or all categories of youths. Similarly, President Reagan just mentioned statistics of drug abuse among Americans without ...

Role of the president and congress regarding the involvement of the military in wars

As dictated by the United States Constitution, the president is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. This role gives the president power to wage war. To be precise, it is often argued that the president has the power to engage the army in wars, especially in cases whereby the country has been attacked or in cases where an attack is in the offing. On another note, the congress has a role to play on the matter of engaging the military in war and conflicts.

This is because of the primary fact that the Congress have the power to declare war ...

Nixon was elected the president of United States of America 1968 on the promise that he would take a different approach to end the Vietnam War. Consequently, halting American engagement in Vietnam was his greatest challenge. Having known that Vietnam Wars was his greatest burden, Nixon explored diplomatic options that attracted positive public opinions. He orchestrated a peace talk that led to the withdrawal of US soldiers from Vietnam. This reduced the number of American casualties in the war. The war ended in 1974 when the South Vietnamese forces were defeated by the North Vietnamese troops (Young & Buzzanco, 2002).

Poland became the 2nd independent nation after the United States to adopt a comprehensively formulated constitution to define its government structure in 1791. The authors’ of Poland’s constitution found great inspiration from the philosophy and text of the United States constitution that had been adopted four years before. Similarity between the two constitutions is therefore very conspicuous.

In both constitutions, citizens are given almost the same nature of rights including the basic rights. The US and the Polish constitution guarantee the upholding of all civil rights and freedoms including political, social, personal, economical and cultural. Additionally, all citizens of ...

In most democratic nations, the executive, legislature and judiciary are the three government arms/branches (Hamilton, 13). They carry distinctive roles that are essential to the government functioning. They work closely together to ensure smooth running of the government.

In my opinion, his address contained three very important pieces of advice that were relevant to Americans. He advised the people of America to stand as one nation. According to him, unity was important for a nation to grow. The president also explained to his people several dangers which might arise in political parties and lastly, he warned the people about some of the risks of over involvement ...

After a hard fought war of the American Revolution in 1781, thirteen states felt the need to unify their apparent energies into the first American government. The states came together under the establishment of the articles of confederation, which became effective for a short period. According to Jensen (1959), the confederation lasted March 1781 to March 1789. The demise of the articles saw the emergence of the American constitution. Several problems emerged in the articles of confederation.

Firstly, as Woods (1969) observes, each state was entitled to only one Congress vote (p. 355). This seems fair except that it did not ...

The anti- gun group offer scathing attacks to the National Rifle Association use loopholes found in the United States law to allow gun lovers to purchase guns at will. However, the anti gun advocates reason that forty-percent of all gun sales occur at gun shows, internet or through informal sales. Under such circumstances, gun buyers are not subjected to stringent background checks. Most of the gun control activities evoke the rampant shootings that have occurred in the ...

"I know that'd be a lot to ask” was virtually unfair and without merit. The response was considered unfair considering that as the White House spokesman it is within his duty read the Federal Register on a regular basis since it provides extensive information on public policy issues of the federal government.

In a negotiation process, the participants in the process essentially attempt to undertake some form of exchange or trade. The exchange can take different forms such as services for services, goods for services, money for services or money for goods. In all these forms of exchange or trade, each participant privy to the negotiation process aims at maximizing his/her advantage. In other words, the negotiator will try his best to come out with a good if not the best deal or cut. This means that each party will aim at gaining much more for little consideration or exchange.

Misleading sales
The sales made by Departmental stores with DIY departments are extremely high and seems much exaggerated as compared to national Franchise store and big box.

The strict father model and the nurturant parent models are two paradigms suggested by the political thinker George Lakoff. If one views the government as the parent of the family-nation, then the strict father model is a metaphor for conservative politics.

There are several tenets that undergird the strict father model. One is that children gain knowledge through a system of rewards and punishments, also known as operant conditioning. Another is that strict parents yield children who are more self-disciplined and more self-reliant. The third is that the father’s job is to deliver rewards for “good” behavior and negative ...

In such a system, decision making regarding strategy and operations, as well as the coordination of operations are run by the top management class ( ...

Currently, one of the most significant controversies in American politics has to do with the discussion of the 2013 budget.

The liberal party, the Democrats, wants to raise taxes to narrow the government debt while making more limited spending changes, and have not yet addressed the benefit programs. The Republican budget leader is ...

Introduction:

Jimmy Carter was a President with a difference and even today he is still quite appreciated for his philanthropic work although his term as President was marked by a rather benign foreign policy which unfortunately did not always work and left him with considerable baggage in this respect.

Perhaps the American nation had high expectations regarding foreign policy especially after the disaster of the Watergate scandal and the quite uneventful Presidency of Gerald Ford. Notwithstanding all this, Carter was also quite unlucky in the sense that a number of issues occurred on his watch which could have been avoided especially the Iranian Revolution ...

The First World War brought long term repercussions on the United States although its participation was rather limited and came quite late in the day. With President Woodrow Wilson out of office after serving two terms, the newly elected Warren Harding was not quite able to deal with the implications of the Versailles Treaty which handed out good concessions to the war’s victors such as France and Germany but was extremely harsh on the losers, Germany where the trouble in the country could only increase accordingly (Bowles 2011).

Mexican-American war is considered to be very important event in the history of the United States. After the end of this war US enlarge their territory a lot. Consequences of this war further led to the Civil War. James Knox Polk, the eleventh President of the United States, had several reasons to start the war with Mexican government.
