Essays on Californians

In a speech in California, Trump decided to provide his skepticism that there was really a drought in California. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, despite the massive demands in cutbacks on water consumption, despite the everyday experience of local californians, Trumps comments still gained ground (Solis, “Donald Trump”). The comments served to provide the same outlet Trump had been previously providing, that one cannot trust the media or the government but he is the sole purveyor of authority. In order to work as a political message, I believe that such work requires a long history of prior ...

Capital punishment or the death penalty is one of the most contentious types of punishments in the United States of America. It is the type of punishment that puts to death an individual who is found guilty of a crime as a result of a legal trial. The implementation of the death penalty dates back to the 1600s but has undergone many reforms thereafter. The discharge of the death penalty is very uncommon because it is usually applied for crimes of aggravated murder. Because the public views the death penalty as too harsh, immoral, and inhumane, it has been ...

Evidently, at the forefront of the hindrances to California’s agreement of a budgets the fact that the State lacks an annual report to which people can refer when seeking to determine how well or how badly the region is doing regarding its economy.

Accordingly, the problem in California’s legislature is the courtesy to both the elected leaders and the structure of the State ...

Question 1 California’s Political Culture

Historically, California’s state constitution was based on the amended constitution that was first adopted before California gained statehood sometime in 1850. The initiative and the referendum were used by the state to alter its constitution, and throughout its existence the state constitution of California has been altered for about 500 times. And this can be attributed to the referendums that gained a high rate of approval from the voters. For one, the state’s administration is representative of a democratic government, which allowed the voters to participate in the approval of constitutional and statute initiatives, thus ranking California ...

A. The Executive Branch. Discuss why you think we need (or do not need) eight different statewide elected officials. Why not just have a governor and a cabinet appointed by the governor? Explain your answer using the information available. Administering California’s state government belongs to the duties of the executive branch, which is led by the state Governor.

To be more specific, most of the highlights of the nation, the United States’, accomplishments today can be traced back to the golden years of the 20th century. James Rawls was the author of the work California: A Place, a People, a Dream, a book about the quintessential and other positive, and some negative qualities of the Californian state. Rawls argued that California is one of the best, if not the best places, one could be, at least based on the people’s perception about California and ...

In order to complete this museum report, I visited the Bowers Museum that is located in Santa Ana. The visit and the entire experience was fun for me because it gave me an opportunity to learn in an entirely different and stimulating environment. History is not as much fun when sitting in class and talking about people and cultures that one cannot relate to. Thus, going to the museum makes the learning experience relatable and easier to understand. This was my second time visiting the Bowers Museum. This visit brought back memories because the last time I was there, ...

The income gap between the poor and the rich and among the whites and the blacks has been increasing in California for the last two ...

An optometrist has the technical ability to detect the early signs of potential ocular and systemic diseases. This is because the eyes, because of their rich blood supply, provide opportunities for inspection of the cardiovascular system. The fundus region in the eye can be observed non-invasively and directly, providing vital clues on the systemic status. Retinopathy may be caused by several factors like diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and HIV positive status (Rughani, 2013). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the biggest contributor to mortality in the Western world. It accounts for approximately 80% premature mortality in diabetes. The optometrist plays the important ...

The United States of America has always been considered a melting pot of various cultures and traditions. As migrants flocked to the country, whatever it is that defined America in the past is slowly changing as immigrants bring with them their beliefs and culture, and practice the same in America. The states across the nation have different stories to tell about how they came to be, including who the early settlers were and how the state became progressive. California is one of these states that can claim a history of failures and triumph. Nevertheless, with each downfall, a better California emerges. These ...

In California, 97% of residents have access to drinking water that meets or exceeds quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Although that may seem like a good percentage of people, it is not if one is one of the 1 million remaining people that cannot drink water from the tap without risking getting sick. A lack of political will is the primary reason that this is the case. It is a basic human right to have access to clean water. Being that the United States is the wealthiest country in the world, one would think that everyone would have ...

Tom Knudson’s article, “Shifting the Pain: World’s Resources Feed California’s Growing Appetite,” is an excellent demonstration of Americans’ ethnocentrism. The article was clearly written to make that point. Seldom does the average American stop to think what kind of impact his or her actions have on other parts of the world, especially the environment. Knudson used three excellent examples of how Californians’ protect their own environment at the expense of the environment in Canada and Ecuador. Although Knudson is biased in his article, his examples are solid and he does offer opposing viewpoints. He also gives ...

Arguably, in the entire history of United States, the most unusual and peculiar event was California acquisition, as well as the New Mexico. The acquisition was tremendously significant in development and expansion of United States. Furthermore, it was the most significant outcome of Mexican War, more important as the annexing of Texas.
