Essays on Populist

The 1880s were the beginning of dramatic changes in the lives of Americans living in urban areas. As cities grew at astronomic rates, the population expanded in conjunction to the Second Industrial Revolution and rose to over 15 million people by 1900. The Second Industrial Revolution was distinctly different from the first Industrial Revolution in that “pure science played a major role in developing new industries,” including the development of “steel, chemicals, and electricity” (Horn, Rosenband and Smith 84). For the average American, such industrial expansion and massive population growth dramatically altered the way of life for city dwellers. ...

Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...

The consensus formed over several decades that supported the globalizing efforts of free trade advocates across the political spectrum seems to be tearing apart. According to Eduardo Porter’s New York Times article “In ‘Brexit’ and Trump, a Populist Farewell to Laissez-Faire Capitalism,” large segments of voters in both major political parties are both highly motivated to go to the polls and hold very negative views of the forces wrought by free trade and other reductions in global economic borders. Porter points to the recent vote in Great Britain to exit the European Union as evidence of the surprising ...

The CIA has been used to initiate numerous coups in South America including Venezuela whose intent has over time been shown to be to advance the interests of the United States by overthrowing leaders that do not tow its line and replacing them with less reactionary leaders that it can easily manipulate. The involvement of the United States of America in South America has by all means been open, especially following the Cold War. These relations range from diplomatic, trade, security to political engagements as evidenced by the Organization of American States (OAS). However, deeply tacked in the historical ...

Abstract

In the first half of the XX century many countries were led by the authoritarian leaders with the extreme ideologies. The ideologies such as Nazism, fascism and communism contributed to the creation of the very powerful states with strong economies, but no respect of the minorities, some classes of people or countries. As the result, all of the countries with the extreme ideologies participated in the World War II and only the USSR was able to become a victor. The main purpose of this paper is to show why extreme ideologies became popular in some countries. By means of ...

The research problem will be to investigate whether the patrimonial political systems of Singapore and South Korea are democracies that surpass their liberal Western analogues in terms of national growth and even democratization in some ways. It appears that, contrary to the popular misperception, democracy is not necessarily a lack of restraint and complete discretion or at least a range of freedom like the right to media. Sometimes, states like Singapore being low on resources and facing external threats decide on less liberal norms and behaviors bordering on authoritarianism in specific aspects. Regulated merit-based selection practices and disciplining norms ...

The government has issued a lot of policies in the past years so far. One of the major moves of the Obama administration as far as policymaking is concerned was the issuance of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. What this policy is all about is overhauling the entire American healthcare system so that the focus would be placed on the affordability of healthcare for patients . Prior to its ratification, the focus of the American healthcare system was on the insurance companies and healthcare providers and institutions, at least based on theory as well as the preliminary research ...

Populist culture has always played a hero in setting the standards upon which people are gauged and measured. According to the article Popular Culture and Populist Technology: The Amateur Operators, Susan Douglass seeks to delve into the issue of the media and popular culture having an effect on the everyday life of all humanity. She especially does that by way of showing how society sets standards of measurement. People are then left to compete with these superhuman heroes who are brought forth as perfect and in possession of attributes that are set as standard. It is interesting that the ...

Part 1

Services and facilities were officially segregated and the law of segregation postulated that services and facilities were separated along racial lines. The fate of the blacks in the segregated South was defined by outright mistreatment, lynching and lack of the basic needs. That made them inferior to their white counterparts. There were a lot of prohibitions that marginalized the minority groups not necessarily just the blacks. The Chinese Exclusion Act that came into being prohibited Chinese laborers from entering the country. The African American woman, just like other minority groups and their male counterparts were largely affected by racial ...

Introduction

The prevailing Constitutional system has been hailed throughout history as the greatest masterpiece ever designed, and this has been attributed to its separation of powers. The Constitution succeeded in creating a system of checks and balances, federalism, limiting the powers of the executive branch, avoiding government gridlock, and dual federalism. Constitutional federalism requires that there is no encroachment of powers through the separation of state power (Bulman-Pozen, 1). However, the separation of powers has been beleaguered with judicial enforcement coupled with formal vengeance aimed at rationalizing incursions by one federal branch with the others. It is accepted that the ...

As a show of defiance to the ruling Federalist regime, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison founded the Democratic - Republican Party in 1791. This would also become the United States’ first opposition party. Jefferson and his followers had liberal views on how the country ought to have been run. Jefferson, having served as George Washington’s first secretary of state, had in his opinion experience in the regime that he saw as elitist. Jefferson’s supporters wanted a system of government that looked out for all Americans, regardless of social class. They also felt that power was centralized in ...

1. Domesticity The idea of domesticity took root during the antebellum period of the 19th century. It sought to define the role of women in the society. Popularly referenced as the cult of domesticity, it refers to a culture in which gender roles and more specifically those of women are defined as purely being a homemaker. The belief was widely held by the white upper and middle-class citizens. Gender roles were divided into two spheres - a public one and a private one. The public sphere involved the realms of business, politics and the overall society and these roles ...

2016 Presidential Candidates

Introduction

The 2016 elections campaign has seen many hopefuls from the republican and the democratic parties as well as a few independent candidates campaigning for nominations by their various parties. The various campaigns have been conducted country wide in the specific states and also over media channels through various interviews. This time round the polls seem to be going against the general public’s expectations and it is therefore not easy to make a clear prediction as to which side will emerge as victors.

The list of candidates for the republican seat is led by business mogul ...

A [a] The term, ‘big bro is watching over you,’ is synonymous to being followed and scrutinized for whatever a person does. From mobile phones to web browsers to satellite tracking, just about anything and everything is ‘bugged’ to watch a person’s move. Most of these close scrutiny apparatus is used by government and paparazzi to gather information on foreign and local agents and celebrities. Phone tapping is a very common means to investigate people in high offices and the U.S spying espionage concerning the NSA which Edward Snowden revealed to the world is once such instance where the ...

1. a) The Second Industrial Revolution, which was also referred to as the Technological Revolution, occurred during the later decades in the 19th Century. This was the time where mass production and electrification was booming. During this time, the production line was also created, making factory work faster and more effective (Stearns,).

It was during this time that the countries involved in the revolution saw much economic growth, over a short period of time. The living standards of each country greatly improved, especially after the Civil War in the United States. Due to the increase in productivity, the price of certain ...

1. Introduction

The incumbent for the At Large Position 2 Houston City Council cannot run for reelection. She has reached the charter limit of three 2-year terms. This gives Jenifer Rose Pool a good opportunity to run in an open election with no incumbent in the race. Her chances for a win are better (as is true for everyone in general) because she won’t be running against an incumbent. In an open election that is city wide public exposure is a key strategy for voters to “get to know” Jenifer. Paul Wellstone’s campaign in Minnesota is a good strategic model (Wellstone.org, 2011).

Introduction

Globalization has opened up borders and rendered it possible for globally competitive companies such as Khmer Foods Group (KFG) to leverage the best that this new reality presents. However, mounting global operations necessitates managing difficult geopolitical, regulatory and cultural challenges, which, fortunately for KFG, should not be a challenge, given the company’s long experience and high standards. This report gives a detailed account of Brazil’s business environment, and assessment of its suitability for KFG’s purposes. The report includes an analysis of the economic, political, legal, cultural and ethical factors relevant to KFG’s possible operations in the country, ...

Introduction

The history of African Americans in the United States is one that is associated with intense bitterness, suffering and struggle. From the days when African slavery and servitude existed to the current situation, America can be said to have transformed into a true democracy. This level of achievement has not at all been easy. It has taken the sacrifice, commitment and effort of many people to attain the democratic rights that all Americans including African Americans enjoy today. Some of the people who fought to have a free and just society in America will forever remain in the books of history. ...

The defeat of the Native Americans in the late 1800 led to the flow of many Americans to the West. With the implementation of the Homestead Act of 1862, many families migrated to the West and farming was introduced in this area. As a result, the Native Americans were continuously migrated to smaller pieces of land. As there were large junks of land in the west, large scale farming was practiced in this region with finance from the East. By 1890, the west was producing 50% of the nation’s farm produce. The increased dependence of the East on the ...

The last quarter of the 19th century became one of the most significant periods of the US history due to a number of events, such as the long confrontation between Republicans and Democrats and the policy of Laissez-faire, movement of Populists, rapid economic development and the prosperity of enterprises, a large influx of immigrants into the country and growth of labor unions. During this period of history John D. Rockefeller, Andrew W. Mellon, J. P. Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie and other huge industrialists became known as “robber barons” because of their exceptional financial success. After the Civil War the United ...

Discuss how Business and Management research should meet the twin requirements of rigour and relevance?

According to Saunders, et al., (2007) the researcher should meet the requirements of rigor and relevance when he follows the research process. The researcher should select the topic of his or her interest, because the research is a long process . Hodgkinson, et al. (2001) evaluate that pedantic science focuses on increased methodological rigor and express the specific outcomes that are relevant. The populist science focuses on relevance practices but neglects the theoretical rigour. The researcher does not focus on theories in populist research. He focuses on management practices. This type of research shows that the results are useful for managers. ...

Soccer or football has been played more than three millenniums in various countries all around the globe. Chinese first played it during Han Dynasty, they were followed by Egyptians, Japanese, Greeks, Mexicans and Central Americans, British, Scottish, Italians, Eskimos, Native American Indians, and so on. Most countries had adopted it because of its popularity like most of the countries in Europe and some countries in South America like Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. There is a long history of soccer in many nations. However, British, mainly in England, did provide the largest contribution. In 1815, Eton College in England did ...

Jackson’s political philosophy

The spirit of Jackson’s political philosophy was indeed democratic. He was in favor of the participation of the common man in the government. He was a populist leader, a war hero, and he believed in the power of the “common man”. Instead of all this republican thinking, Jackson’s political philosophy had some serious limitations. That is his political philosophy can best be described as Jackson’s democracy, or to be more precise a limited democracy. Jackson political philosophy was built on the following tenets. One, he believed in the extended voting rights of the people. Universal suffrage for white ...

1. Why was the term “gilded” an accurate description for the last quarter of the 19th century? Mark Twain is credited with using the term ‘gilded’ to describe the last quarter of the 19th century America, particularly the years from 1870 to 1900. Twain had used the term ‘gilded age’ in a satirical manner. He draws an analogy with the thin covering of gold on various artifacts that provides a shiny veneer to the object and hides the baseness of the material used to make it. This is an apt description because towards the end of the 19th century, United ...

Post the cold war phase in the world, many third world countries intellectuals have retreated to their old ways in a bid to find a way to rejuvenate the civilization projects that were interrupted by the cold war (Nanda 32). As a way to prove their independence from their past colonial masters, these countries have parted company with them terming them as ethnocentric and racist (Nanda 32). This way, they have become oblivious of the information in the western world that, consequently fail to pass the nationality test of the native intellectual. Populism is a reactionary rejection of revolutions that have changed the ...

Criminal Trials in Drug Courts in Europe

Introduction According to Langbein, the modern European Trial is an investigation into the truth, but not a stage battle of partisans committed to distortion. This is true with regards to prosecution and rehabilitation of drug offender that is now revamped in European countries. The criminal justice system is critical in the formation of any civilized society; it is required that the criminal justice system should be robust and in a position to protect the interests and rights of the various groups within the society. It comprises of three distinct elements; these are the law enforcement officers, the courts, and the ...

Latin American countries had adopted capitalism as an economic system that arose from the industrialized Europe and the more developed United Sates. However, capitalism did not solve the societal problems of many Latin American societies. Instead, capitalism created a society where a group of elites controlled the state and the economy of many Latin American countries. Even with the rapid economic development that many Latin American countries experienced in 19th century, economic development was not witnessed among the lower middle class and the peasant farmers. Abject poverty was still a feature of a large percentage of the Latin American populace. The urban poor ...

Introduction

Democracy and its real meaning has generated a number of debates especially in the field of political science. According to minimalist definition, democracy is considered to be a system whereby the rulers are chosen through a competitive election, and in a broader perspective it includes a number of dimensions like freedom, participation as well as the accountability in terms of leaders. These broader perspectives of democracy have, in a number of cases considered to be liberal democracy. Liberal democracy is characterized by a political system which has a sole responsibility of protecting individual as well as a number of liberties while providing a guarantee to both the horizontal as ...

Kara Walker’s painting is a clear combination of techniques which can be said to have imbued the American psyche. The issue of racism is quite clear and one can feel it in the title which is ‘The Rich Soil Down There’ where the inherent racism which permeates the piece is demonstrated by its clear allusion to the agricultural labourer’s history especially in the Antebellum South. The work which is currently on display at the Museum of Fine Arts has a lot in common with other works which Walker has exhibited at a number of important museums. These include the ...

1. Introduction Dutch disease is a theorem which is first developed by W. Max Corden and J. Peter Neary in 1982 based on a theoretical story explaining the relationship between tradable and non-tradable goods. The theory basically claims that a large amount of resources gained through exploitation of natural resources or through an international aid or in any other similar way resulting abundance of financial resources for a country might not help the country to create an economic development. This country will enjoy spending this abundant resource, however, spending the resource will not create a capacity to produce some other tradable goods and ...

Political ideologies and in the progressive era For all the benefits that we live in today, in an America with democracy and freedoms; an America that allows for different ethniv groups to intergrate and work together, we have the progressives to thank among other activtists. The progressive era had a series of ideological and intellectual conflicts, which led to direct democracy reforms and the continued development of America. A famous newspaper journalist, William White branded the progressives as a “populist who had just shaved his whiskers, put on a different shirt and a derby hat.” This is because the progressives shared the ...

Introduction

Any form of social movement requires active involvement of the stakeholders. In addition, social movements have the characteristics of providing general solutions to common problems. These social movements are, therefore, crucial in our day to day life affairs. In the United States of America, the pioneer social movements faced out racism and its attendant segregation and oppression of the Black minority. The Populist Party and the Black Freedom Movement reshaped the political landscape of both North and South of America. In the long run, it is such that promoted social cohesion and coexistence in the plural society that defines ...

Introduction

Julius Caesar, perhaps the most prominent dictator of the Republic of Rome, is among the most important figures in history. The charisma emanating from populist approaches and emphasis on skilled rhetoric of Caesar made him a symbol of radical political changes in Ancient Rome. It is during the reign of Caesar as dictator when Rome expanded its boundaries, incorporating the British Isles and Gaul, now present-day France. Such has become possible through the superior military power of troops that served under Caesar, whose tactical nous has earned him both admirers and critics ( ...

Classical liberalism developed in the 19th century and referred to a philosophy based on the principle of limited government and freedom of individuals. Social welfare liberalism is a philosophy based on the ideals of social foundation. These two philosophies followed similar ideals and endorsed market economy, political rights, individual freedoms and liberties but differed on some issues. Social welfare liberalism tends to lean on the side of the Democrats, whereas classical liberalism leans on the conservative Republican side. Classical liberalism drew from the Adam Smith psychological understanding of individual liberty, utilitarianism and natural laws that believes in progress and leaving everyone ...

Introduction:

Art is always subjective but the way it has developed in recent years does show a certain tendency for the cubist and realist elements to be at the forefront. However one can observe how art changed from the middle 19th century to the avant garde preoccupations of Picasso which have demonstrated the changing face of art. We have also moved on to the modern exhibits such as those of Andy Warhol who demonstrates an original way of depicting artistic visuals. The change can be seen by comparing Gustav Courbet’s ‘The Meeting’ with Picasso’s ‘Le Demoiselles de Avignon’. ...

Summary

Minimum wage legislation is a very popular and populist issue. There are both economic and social needs to be addressed in the matter. There are also very highly opposing positions in the discussions. There are many arguments in favor minimum wage legislation. Perhaps, the most important among them are four rationales: poverty alleviation, reduce wage inequality, employee protection, and economic stimulation. Meanwhile, among the four more important arguments against minimum wage legislation are: increased unemployment, aggravated poverty, increased high school drop-out rate and prolonged unemployment periods, and reduced global competitiveness. In the light of the present world economic ...

Why Latin America has experienced so much political upheaval in the last century

Latin America has witnessed various shake-ups from time to time leading to a new and modern world overall. Previously, the Latin American politics did not encourage participation of all the citizens. They only involved the elite group of people. The elites dominated over the natives. This led to conflicts as the rest of the people strived to have freedom. This led to populism, which involves a collection of ideologies putting a distinction between a group of people striving to have their voice heard, and another group of elites who are evil, corrupt and discriminative. The disruption of the political stability in Latin America ...

Reconstruction of America started after the civil war that occurred between 1860 and 1865. After the end of the civil war, there was need to reconstruct the country after the loss of many people.

Introduction

Far right extremists use populist jargon to appeal to the citizens of various countries in Europe. Authors Schellenberg and Langenbacher (2011) reported that out of thirteen right-wing extremist partys 7 won seats in national European parliaments in 2009. The most seats won were 9 seats in the Italian parliament with 10.2% of the vote. The authors report eleven out of the 13 won seats in national and in the last local (municipal or regional) elections. This trend is startling enough to understand the right-wing is using language that appeals to people. (Schellenberg and Langenbacher 2011).
