Are political conventions obsolete?

Political conventions in the United States have been a political culture that has been exercised both at a grass-root and federal level for a long time. As a stable democracy, the United States' political terrain is competitive. This necessitates the formulation of competitive platforms that leaves no leeway for counter-partisan criticism. Political conventions have been used to demonstrate that each party has a clear framework of the policy windows that they intend to formulate if elected to office. The just concluded Democratic and Republican national conventions was a clear indication that each party is geared to persuade and convince the public that their policy approach ...

The Articles of Confederation were indeed important instruments since they created a basis to form a government which included checks and balances, something which was very advanced for the time and notably absent in other countries. The innovative approach included a three tier government which gave certain independence to the states but at the same time, the system of President, House of Representatives and Senate was radically innovative since it allowed neither branch of the Executive or Legislative gain control. This is dealt with in the section in Chapter 18 of Perspectives of the Past particularly in the section on Thomas Jefferson’ ...

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives. From within this traditional plot structure, James explores the nature of relationships, with a particular interest in marriage. Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives. This can be directly contrasted with the ...

Human Trafficking

There is a flourishing international trade in human beings. In camps in the jungles and elsewhere, the victims of these “human traders” brutalize, rape and at times kill those who fall prey to them. These groups “service” the needs of businessmen looking to use the cheap labor to maximize their profits (Stoakes, Ranong, and Kelly, 2015). One of the most prevalent forms of the commercial trade in humans is child labor; in places such as Africa, children are used to service the cocoa fields using extremely dangerous implements even in the hands of adults (Food Empowerment Project, 2016). ...

Revolution can be regarded as an inevitable part of society’s evolution, whereas following the world’s revolutions one may observe a smooth transition of humanity from the early dawn of civilization to modern progressive and technological face of our planet. It’s necessary to point out that each revolution should be analyzed objectively, without disguising it someone’s favor; otherwise the true historical meaning of the even can be lost. The American Revolution started after Britain applied the seven Coercive (in other words Intolerable) Acts to the colonies, including the closing of the Boston port, and a permission ...

Jane Doe

A major shift has been occurring not only in the legal arena, but also from a sociological stand point. This transition in the rights of those in same sex relationships to be acknowledged legally through marital union has been quite controversial with many groups throughout the Unites States who hold differing views on the subject. Regardless of which side of the spectrum one position’s themselves, the reality of the situation brings with it not only changes in the law, but also a major shift in society, creating a significant sociological event that must be noted and understood.

Introduction

Metatheatre is a word that was first used by Lionel Abel in 1963; he introduced a new way of and look at post modern-drama, which at the very least adds more language to the to the ones that are usually spoken in theatres. The description of Meta itself constitutes a meaning describing above or after and about or upon. On the other hand, Samuel Beckett, an Irish Dramatist changed the traditional drama as shown in his work in “Waiting for Godot”. The change in his style was due to his dissatisfaction of the earlier dramatist. Beckett’s work featuring the characters Vladimir ...

Entry One: When I Am Old, I Shall Wear Purple

The first thing I thought of when I considered the idea of aging issues was a poem by Jenny Joseph, who wrote Warning, the first lines of which are, “When I am an old woman I shall wear purple/ With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me” (Sachteleben 2009). Joseph was born in 1932 in England composed this ode to being elderly in 1961. Although she grew up in a different generation, Joseph’s poem still resonates. In some ways, there is a certain freedom for the elderly. Many people spend their younger lives trying to do the right thing, ...

Chapter 3

Post 1 – Professor Franck’s brings up an interesting question, why states obey international law despite the undeveloped condition of the international system? I would say a very important reason is that criminals, even those who have been nation-state leaders have been brought to trial on the international stage at The Hague. So all the characteristics he mentions that give legitimacy – transparency, symbolic validation, adherence and coherence – are met by the World Court and can be observed on the television news all over the world. There exist inconsistencies in terms of which leaders are taken to trial when others have ...
