Governmental support is essential for developing projects that have a significant social impact but are not attractive enough for private businesses. Unfortunately, very often such projects bring little benefit to the people in need, while putting a burden on taxpayers. The “Wastebook” by Tom Coburn describes 100 different items in the Federal budget that add little value for the nation but contribute to the already significant taxes and country debt. Although nearly all projects described in the “Wastebook” make little economic sense, some of them can actually harm the economy. Kachemak Voyager ferry that runs between the two small towns, ...

The significant purpose of any given government is to support its state and people through dissimilar measures including economic, political and military. However, this is the major reasons why during times of war or other threats to the country, the government takes the authority of applying extra ordinary measurers such as restricting freedom and freezing assets among others. Concurrently, I think that such measures are only relevant when there is a state of emergency in the country so that the government can safeguard its citizen but not throughout.

PART A

Fowler and Brenner, in their paper, argue that the regulation of broadcasters as public trustees should be replaced entirely with a policy which views broadcasters as marketplace participants who are governed by the rules and forces that govern the marketplace. In the paper, they argue that communications policy by the Federal Communications Commission should be directed towards the improvement and maximization of the services that the public desires by making an adjustment of definition of public demand and specifying the categories to serve this redefined demand. This, they argue, should enable the commission to change its policy and determine the ...

Using examples, explain the difference between obscene and indecent materials.
