Essays on Democracy

Question 1

I am in agreement with the criteria used for constitutional democracy fundamentally because it considers the issue of whether or not the elements contained in the American Constitution, as practiced and amended in the current times, are more inferior or superior to the systems set by the constitution in terms of sequentially stable democracies. The criteria for evaluation focuses on political stability (especially remaining democratic), effective democratic rights protection, democratic fairness, fostering consensus building and promoting effective problem solving. The criterion also supposes the fact that there are various conditions that make it even easier for the entire system ...

The differences in the way the students are treated is mostly based on two conditions.

The first condition is the stereotype that is always surrounding the people in different race and gender. White people ...

Question 1

You have a good argument. However, a few sentences are not authoritative enough. For example, in your answer you have “I think all American ,” this sentence could be revised as follows “It is imperative that American” In this case, you avoid overuse of the first pronoun “I”, while maintaining active voice writing. In addition to the cited reference, you could consider the contributions of the Federal Constitutional drafters such as Madison and Hamilton. Consider how their essays on the constitution promoted democracy and the subsequent adoption of the draft that form the foundation of the American democracy. ...

A Hung Parliament

Before the dust had settled in the 2010 general election the general consensus was that a Conservative government was inevitable. The general public was confident that the Labour Party and its leader did not stand a chance in the 2010 elections. However the results showed that there was no clear cut winner and the process of a Hung parliament was becoming more and more a likely outcome. The markets and the media kicked at this idea because they believed it to be bad for business as they feared fall in the sterling due to the uncertainty that would come ...

What is the interaction between personal freedom and infringement of people’s liberty? Well, in order to understand this association, it is important to go back in time. Personal freedom is based on the maxim of liberty, and this was envisaged by early philosophers such as John Stuart Mill. The maxim of individual liberty envisions that individuals have the freedom of choice and make decisions without any restrictions. Most western democracies have taken measures to safeguard personal freedom as a fundamental right, and this has seen the protection of personal freedom by most constitutions in the world. ...

In his book information and the Crisis Economy, Herbert I. Schiller contends that the current proliferation of information activities and increasing sophistication of information technology they demand are the result of efforts to control the political, economical, and cultural strains produced by a general crisis in the world market system. This is a review of chapter seven of the book ‘The prospect for democratic communication.’ Schiller opens the chapter by stating that the communication process could serve constructive motives if it could draw the attention of people to the problems they face as well ...

“What is America” by Jesse Gordon is a collection of 24 photos of diverse individuals who seemed to come from different ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds.

The photo-essay therefore showed, in addition to the faces of these individuals, the flag of the United States of America, being held across their chests. Thus, it was interesting to note that the responses to the question was unique and distinct to these individuals, depending on ...

Introduction

Terrorism has been a long-standing problem of globalization, with radical militant groups inflicting coercion upon civilians to push for political, social and religious goals. Arguably, however, terrorism has reached its zenith in recent times when the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attacks in the United States (US) happened. The intensity of the attacks cast the image of the US as the most powerful nation in the world into serious doubt, considering the fatal breach of security involved (Kean, 2004).

Undoubtedly, 9/11 shook the US towards creating new strategies to counter future cases of terrorism. ...

Summary

In the article by Sitkoff, he notes that the basic alteration during this era of civil rights was merely a change in public attitudes in relation to race, which resulted from three convoluted causes: individuals and institutions willing to change, impersonal forces behind them and the chain of versatile events. The author indicates that there were several individuals during this era accountable for stirring attitudes concerning African-American race. Despite blacks having experienced success in the American society, the author has the view that they suffered the most during the time of Depression and claims that starvation haunted them instantly ...

How does happiness and freedom change over time? Definition of happiness by American media advertisement, and the 1931 concept of the American Dream by James Truskow Adams

Culturally it is believed that in the olden days, the happiness of the society was considered as superior to individual happiness. It was not all about what is good for the society and the people were contented with that (Chan, Wing-tsit, 1963). This is far from the truth because if people were indeed contented with the happiness of the society as theirs, then the change to happiness being all about the individual ...

Introduction

The women in ancient times had limited powers in making decisions in marriages and other social issues as well as the freedom to express their opinions in owning property and viewing their opinions in political and legal powers. These roles were exclusively reserved for men while the role of women was to take care of the children as well as take care of other household chores.

Abstract

This paper will examine the Australian social perspective from the nonprofessional’s point of view before undertaking a deeper socio-economic analysis. On the surface, Australians would like to believe that they are classless but in fact, they are subject to the classes that are inherent in a capitalist society. This paper will use the theories of Marx to describe the development of a class. We will also use the writings of other scholars such as to chronicle how the ruling class developed in Australia and how it has affected everyday life of the people in terms of the distribution ...

With the introduction of social networks and internet technologies that enable people to connect and share ideas, there are legislations that have been introduced that are geared at enabling a safe environment. With the recent developments in the Middle East, there is a concern that social networking sites bring to the whole scenario of Internet and social networks. The Middle East experienced a revolution that toppled some governments. An example is Tunisia and Egypt.

I support the need to have legislations like ACTA, SOPA and TAFTA because of the fact that there is a need to protect copyright laws. ...

1. Outline the categories of violence as described by Jamil Salmi.

According to Salmi, the phenomenon of violence has many characteristics, with particular causes per characteristic and with particular causational agents per cause. Violence also exists in several forms, including direct violence, indirect violence, repressive violence, and alienating violence.

Direct violence is characterized by any physical, in-person act causing intended harm.

Introduction:

When we speak of the public sphere, we think of public opinion and this is borne out by Jurgen Habermas accordingly in his various books and scholarly articles. The transmission of news is essential to development of public opinion due to the fact that this opinion is constantly shaped by what is fed by the news cycle and the media networks. Habermas points out various ways how the news cycle affects public ...

What is meant by business casual or corporate casual. How should you dress for interviews?

Over the recent years, many firms have instituted business or corporate casual dress code, and invitations to corporate functions often give suggestions on the type of clothing guests should wear. The term is somehow vague, however, and sometimes leads to pervasive confusion. Even though it clearly differentiates itself from business formal wear, which suggests a tailored suit and tie, it should not be confused with casual wear such as a t-shirt and jeans. Business or corporate casual refers to a type of office clothing style or dress code that is more casual than the traditional business wear (Ciletti, 2010). ...

What have been the concerns?

Civil liberties and security concerns of terrorism have existed in America for many years. The 20th century saw major security threats against the American people, which included WWI, WWII and the Cold War. For example, during WWI, the Sedition Act of 1918 led to many prosecutions for those who were against the war effort. Among the Sedition Act’s provisions were restrictions against the use of the postal service and free speech (Sauter & Carafano, 2005). During WWII, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the War Relocation Authority directed the evacuation of about 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry, who were ...

It has taken women a long and tough journey to achieve their rights. This started many years ago in 1848, when women stood for their rights and since then, there have been several changes though some changes are yet to happen. These include changes in politics and government where women wanted to exercise their right to vote, in employment they wanted equal pay for the work done, they fought for reproductive rights and changes in religion (Greenberg & Watts, 2009). All these changes came due to efforts of very dedicated women who never gave up the struggle. Struggle for changes ...

The Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights is an official list of amendments, which defines the freedom that is owned by the citizens and the limits of the power of the federal government. Most importantly, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights help in dictating the rights and enhancing the law in cases pertaining to the violation of the freedom of rights. Therefore, the Bill of Rights forms the core basis of liberties and freedom that every individual has an inherent right against the federal government (Alexander & Alexander, 2005).

Berman, Paul. “Welcome to Phase Three of the Arab Spring: Islamists are Waning in the Arab World. But will Obama Notice?” New Republic, 22 February 2013.

Berman compares the Muslim Brotherhood’s post-revolutionary stance in Egypt to its counterpart in Tunisia. The Brotherhood in Egypt has proven less politically savvy than has been the case in Tunisia. This is borne out by the riots and demonstrations that have exploded in Cairo in the wake of the controversial constitution, which was introduced to the Egyptian public in December 2012. Some Egyptian observers have noted that initial promises from Washington to support democratic advocates in Egypt and the region have gone by the wayside, revealing that the ...

Prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination and privilege

A social issue is that which concerns and affects the lives of individuals directly or indirectly within a society (Mooney, Knox & Schacht, 2012). Societies are very distinct but may have similar or different social issues considering that all human societies are composed of humans who share more or less similar characteristics.

The exclusionary rule was established by the Supreme Court in the holding in Weeks. United States. It was intended to reinforce the Constitutional Forth Amendment provision that guaranteed privacy rights. Its principle is to the effect that violation of procedural safeguards excluded evidence so gathered from the trial process.

However, the rule is not cast on stone and should be applied with exception, case in point the good faith exception. It is my contention that in the case of United States vs. Leon, the majority had a stronger argument. Reading the holding one appreciates the wisdom in the ...

Justice emerges to become a paramount concern for many lawmakers and scholars today. From the perspective of Rawls, premises of justice appear to have a historical perspective that conceives an array of related concepts. These include moral righteousness and reciprocity of action. The various elements that revolve and determine the essence of these statements curtail the true nature of justice.

- Comment in agreement or disagreement with the following quote: “during the 19th Century Russia was considered to have the most conservative and least reform-minded, government in Europe." What factors in Russian history contributed to this situation? What was the response to this reality by liberal leaning Russian military and political leaders? In Russia, the central political and economic problem was serfdom, which was basically slavery under another name with the majority of the population in an un-free condition. Certainly some Russian governments attempted to deal with this problem, particularly Tsar Alexander II, who freed the serfs in 1861 and ...

Humanity has to shift its approach of dealing with prejudices and discriminations as wrongs committed against the rights of minorities, but should cast the challenges as affecting the interests of all, for instance gay, straight or otherwise. The past century saw the rise of activist groups that sought to fight for the rights of particular groups in the societies, the gay, lesbians, the disabled, minority ethnic groups among others. Intellectuals now realize the approach may be detrimental in the end as it creates divisions instead of fostering equality. Those who consider themselves to belong to the mainstream are known ...

PART 1: Reflection on Writing Process and Commitment  One of the most important things I have learned from doing peer review on other classmates' essays and the feedback process is the importance of constructive criticism. I have not had many instances of non-constructive feedback in this class, to be fair, but I have also learned how to give it. I sometimes tend to find myself getting slightly aggravated at the occasional spelling or grammar error, but for the most part I have learned to temper my own high-strung nature and provide criticism that addresses the issue without placing a ...

Hume and Bergeson were philosophical scientists who are remembered for their contributions on humanity nature. Bergerson’s philosophy advocated for the fact that a person has a free will, which is conceived within their hearts.

Hume on the other hand emphasized the ...

Every organization fosters its own leaders, each with individual leadership styles. According to Kurt Lewin, these leadership styles could be classified into three categories, of which the best is considered to be the democratic style. Even if there are leaders that come very close to one of the three styles identified by Lewin, I believe that some leaders could be combining the styles or slightly deviating from them in their work. This paper aims to explore my past experience in order to indentify a real life case of leadership and compare it to one of the leadership styles formulated ...

When Socrates was asked to suggest an alternative to his death sentence, he said he should be given free room and board for life, just like the Olympians.  Unfortunately, the 501 jurors deciding his case didn’t agree, and Socrates was executed by poison in 399 BC.  The charges? Corrupting the youth and not acknowledging Athen’s gods. 

No doubt the charges were trumped up and Socrates was executed for his radical philosophies that criticized the practices of the Athenian elite and attracted a following that included throngs of youth.  He saw politicians as corrupt, full of pumped up ...

Every American and most cable news watcher from around the world watched in shock and possible awe as the NATO missiles destroyed the old city of Baghdad. The regime of Saddam Hussein ended thanks to the American invasion in what was the alleged pursuit of Al Qaeda and the terrorist remnants. The missing link to this event was an independent role of the media and the subsequent pivotal role of the fourth estate in ensuring that whole account of war was independent. The much cherished liberal media in the western world lacked the precise corner stone that was supposed ...

A constitution is a written document embodying the fundamental states principles. Through the constitution, certain rights of people are guaranteed. It also establishes the conception and character of the United States government by prescribing the government’s duties, powers, and organization. Constitutional amendments are always anticipated. This is because the authors of the constitution are neither prescient nor infallible. Allowing constitutional change is a method of saluting democracy in any government, America being a democracy. These echoes the words of Thomas Jefferson of Each generation has the right of choosing for itself the form of government it feels is ...

In a family, the task of raising and educating children from birth or even before birth to the time the time such children become of majority age rests on the parents (Ambert, 16). Similarly, in the animal kingdom the animals take care of their young ones, provide them with the physical needs, and protect them until they can take care of themselves. In the human race however, things are a little different. For instance, in the animal kingdom the young ones are only raised by their biological parents. It is rare to find an animal raising the young one ...

Elite theory

The elite theory posits that the power, control and influence on government and corporations are vested on the minority. Indeed the American democracy is essentially a classical example of the elite theory. This is because of the lobbyists system of governance practiced in Washington. A perfect example of the rule of minority can be deduced on the Obamacare law that essentially gives insurances the opportunity to exploit the masses through the compulsory subscriptions as necessitated by the legislation. Thus far, no credible evidence can contradict the elite theory.

Charles Beard’s argument

The argument on property rights protection is attested by the fourth ...

On the positive side, Cox sees benefits such as improvements in decision-making, more innovation and creativity, and greater success in marketing to different ...

One of the people who are referred to as heroes is certainly Rosa Parks, whose name is equaled with African American plight for egalitarianism. Her calm and peaceful persona allowed her to accept all the unfairness African Americans were subjected to, but one time she had to step up and remain seated on a bus. This proved to be the catalyst of the already ongoing plight for equality, and after Rosa Parks’ ordeal, the African American community became even more fervent in their struggle for freedom.

True heroes are those who do not hurt others in their endeavor, who ...

1. Liberalism and Feminist theorist 

Central to the theory and practice of Liberalism is the freedom of individuals to make choices that will result to social outcomes. This particular school of thought believes that “the purpose of society is the advance of freedom, equality, and human happiness” (Auster, 2007, LA reply section). It is important to note though that when one person chooses not to respect the freedom and rights of other people, this violates the concept and therefore could not be considered under Liberalism. The various forms of liberalism: economic, social and political, adopt the central tenet, albeit ...
