Explain the concept of federalism, the separation of powers, and the role of interest groups in general

Federalism refers to a system of government that is made up of the central and regional government with each having distinct powers. To maintain the independence of these two governments, the concept of separation of powers comes in to enhance the distribution of power within the different arms of the government. These arms include the executive, the judiciary, and the legislature (Baker & Preston, 2005). Ideally, each of these three arms has their separate functions and thus it is of paramount importance to protect their independence that is most likely to be affected by encroachment by either of the other ...

Uyghurs are a tribe in the Turkish heritage, and they are Sunni Muslims living in the Xiangjian Autonomous Region in China.

Introduction

Throughout is history, the American society has exhibited an unrivalled sense of national identity. Being an American citizen has over the centuries since its independence was seen as the most significant facet of an individual living within US borders. As such, US citizens who are residents in other countries also take much pride in the numerous benefits accruing to them, by reason of their American citizenship. As Bradburn provides, the boundaries defining real aspects of what entails an American citizen have since been blurry and undefinable since independence (1094). The main cause for such an outcome was the fact ...

The autobiography of Catalina de Erauso is very attractive for scholars, who investigate such aspects as identity, authorship, sexuality and gender; the most important aspect can be considered masculinity of this character.

Collectivist and Individualist Cultures

Introduction Cultures are naturally grouped into two: individualist and collectivist. On most of the occasions, cultures differ regarding the importance of individual welfare and group welfare. Societies where personal welfare is cherished nurture members who are more of self-promoting and dependent naturally. In contrast, collective societies highlight the significance of group welfare over the individual desires and needs, thus creating a more inter-dependent society. Because not every individual within a given society will be affected in precisely the same way, each individual claims a cultural personal-identity, which manifests some culturally recognized values. An individual’s cultural identity then offers ...

Prehistory

Soviet suppression of the anti-socialist events in Poland and Hungary in 1956 showed that Western hopes for Soviet Union easing its foreign policy were in vain. As well, the victory of Nasser in events related to the nationalization of the Suez Canal, contributed to a further change in the correlation of forces in the Middle East in favor of the national liberation movement (Hahn, 2001). Arab East - most consistent followers of anti-imperialist positions as well as the Arabian Peninsula started to show the rise of political movements. The British and French imperialists found themselves pushed off to the ...

The 20th century was a remarkable period for many women who are fed up with the discrimination they faced based on gender. Females in the previous centuries were confined to the spheres of their homesteads and not allowed to participate in public activities. The patriarchal perceptions dominated the thoughts of most Americans. The work of Kate Chopin, a renowned feminist, motivated woman to evaluate their situations critically so that they could realize the unfair burden society placed on them. One of the pieces she wrote was the Story of an Hour. Succinct analysis indicates that Chopin tackled complicated issues ...

Impact of the Sarbanes-Act on the Threats to Auditors’ Independence

The last decade of the 20th Century and the early 2000’s witnessed an increased rate of corporate scandals and audit failures in major companies not only in the United States in the entire world. However, it is U.S that mostly felt the pinch with companies such as Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Xerox, and Adelphia almost collapsing. The scandals saw the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002 which served as the ‘messiah’ in the accounting sector by introducing major revolutions. Analysts had for a long time criticized the accounting profession because of its apparent inability to control/self-regulate itself. ...

Before Texan independence, there existed very strong differences in Texas based on the issue of independence or, in other words, the break of Texas from Mexico. This was mainly associated with the racial lines that existed at that time. The Anglo whites in Texas who were mainly slaveholders wanted to break away from Mexico. This was because at that time Mexico had apparently banned slavery (Denial 1). Bearing this fact in mind, they knew that their ability to practice slavery would be in jeopardy if they did not disassociate themselves with Mexico. Take, for instance, Jim Bowie, a well-known ...

It is an ascertained fact that an understanding of the national culture and local peculiarities of business environment “can give managers an advantage in competitive industries” (Deresky, 2003, p. 90). However, if managers ignore cultural aspects in building productive business relations with their foreign partners, such ignorance might turn into minor troubles and lack of understanding or even into a serious breach of business relations between companies or economic relations between countries on the whole. Therefore, in order to hold the meeting efficiently and with success and to help the foreign parties from different cultures get together and engage ...

The two main factors in the formation of the United States as a sovereign country were the American Revolutionary War in 1775 and the American Civil War in 1861. In both cases, it was a struggle for independence and unity against the oppressive regime. In first case it was a struggle of the 13 British colonies against Britain and its loyalists (colonists who remained loyal to the Crown) between the Patriots (ordinary Americans). In second case, it was a war between the Americans from the North with freed or escaped slaves and the Americans of the South with slaves. ...

The book, Year of the Elephant (1989) was written by Leila Abouzeid and is a strong reminder of the way of Moroccan women before independence. The book also goes on to explain how Moroccan independence brought about changes in the lives of women. Much like the author herself, the protagonist of the novel Zahra was born a few years before independence and hence has seen the lives of women both, before independence and after independence (in 1956). Within the novel, the protagonist, Zahra, is divorced by her husband. The worthlessness of a woman in a marital home is described ...

The Texas Revolution took place in 1835-1836 when the United States had already been established as an independent, democratic country. Starting from 1820s, when Texas was a part of Mexico, the new Mexican government started bringing Americans to settle Texas territories. The country struggled from Indian tribes, and with the help of American settlements the government hoped to control them. By the year 1834 the population of Anglos in Texas had been about 40,000, while the number of Mexicans had been limited to 3,500 (Americanaction.us). Americans could not assimilate with the Mexican culture; they refused to become ...

Introduction

1.0 Introduction The rate at which the availability of natural fuel resources are getting depleted is higher than the consumption (Huang, Krock and Oney 158). This calls for clean energy sources such as Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion whose short form is abbreviated as OTEC is essentially based on the utilization of temperature differences (Plocek, Laboy and Marti 1). In particular, the difference of incumbent temperature between the deep and the shallow areas of water become the source of electrical energy. This electricity is produced when the temperature difference is used to run a heat ...

A war of independence is commonly considered as a justified action, accumulating the struggling of one nation against another. The Texas Revolution, however, represents a peculiar exception to this patterned characteristic of these military conflicts. This event, crucial for Texas, is considered either in a negative way, accusing Texans and Americans of expansion of Mexican territory, or even passed over in silence. At the time when Texas began inhabited by Americans and Europeans at the invitation of the Spanish authorities, the Spanish themselves expelled its small Texas population, accusing it of treason during the years of 1810-1821s (Beisner, American ...

Personal Statement: Increasing Research Profile

Personal Statement: Increasing Research Profile Excellent research informs on an individual’s career, and therefore dictates their success. Ensuring that people in various industries are aware of one’s efforts, which regards the eligibility of their research to get to the academic committee, is crucial for building their work and develop new opportunities in future. Several people have a vague perception that good work sells without exertion of any efforts (McGill-Franzen & Allington, 2010 p. 50). However, developing and a stable professional profile would automatically increase the impact of an individual’s work, facilitating for its credibility in larger audiences ( ...

Similarities and differences between the United States Declaration of Independence (1776) and Bill of Rights, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789); and Haitian Declaration of Independence (1804).

All the three documents advocates for men being created equally and the creator has endowed everyone with definite unalienable rights, including the right to happiness, life, and liberty. According to these documents, contempt and neglect of these rights were the primary cause of the public calamities. Therefore, it is the duty of the government to secure these rights. In the three documents, the citizens are complaining of the inhuman ...

The United States of America officially gained its independence in 1776. The new country needed to create own governing system. It was a difficult decision, because former colonies wanted to have the central government, but did not want to loose their sovereignty. These contradictions became a basis for the Articles of Confederation, which preceded the American Constitution of 1787. It restored main weaknesses of the Articles, but there were many arguments before all states accepted the new document. Constitution’s content stimulated the creation of political parties.

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation were created with the great support of Whigs. ...

Located on Africa’s southeastern coast, Mozambique is a picturesque country with abundant natural resources, a diverse population, a rich cultural heritage, and a troubled political history. The former European colony underwent a period of turbulent political and economic change during the latter half of the 20th century. As Guilengue (2015, para. 2) asserts, the phases began with a decade-long struggle to gain its independence from Portugal in 1975. Mozambique continued its political transformation, going from a one-party state system (1975-1992) to its current multiparty democratic system (Guilengue, 2015, para. 2).

Introduction

Films are used to portray social and psychological trends in society through the use of various cinematographic techniques and tools. Some authorities identify that the role of women in society is portrayed through their roles and the kind of stories they feature in – this include linking women’s fortunes, power and status in society and showing it in a film. The purpose of this paper is to examine the film, Lost in Translation within a feminist context. To this end, the paper will critique whether the film in question really “depicts a woman’s struggle to find a signifying ...

July the 4th, 1776 is considered to be the birthday of the US nation, since that day the Declaration of Independence was adopted (History.com). Thomas Jefferson’s proclamation that ‘all men were created equal’ destined America’s political course towards democracy; however, the notion of ethnic diversity was excluded from defining traits of the American identity. The Declaration was written for white Americans, while other inhabitants suffered from being enslaved or dispossessed of their lands. According to historian Paul Finkelman (Race: The Power Of An Illusion), Thomas Jefferson was the first person, who implemented the idea of race in ...

Every country defines terrorism in different way taking into account various aspects of this notion, that is why there does not exist a universally accepted legal definition of the term.

Introduction

Immigration is a brainchild of globalization and has been a subject of critique by a group of Americans who may take a xenophobic or protectionist cast. These critics argue that immigration undermines the US economy due to the access gained by immigrants to jobs and other important resources. Others also argue that employment of immigrants encourages cheap labor and undermines the US industries. On the other hand, the subject of immigration is hugely supported by the IMF body that argues that overall, immigration and integration will extend its benefits to everyone both the American community and the rest of ...

Through early American history each new action and document established an important precedent for the young nation. For example, the Declaration of Independence created the foundation of a new country by not only declaring independence, but also by establishing essential truths on which the nation would be based. Equally important is the Gettysburg Address, which not only motivated future action, but also summarized actions that preceded it. In the Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln advances the idea that difficult tasks, such as wars, should be pursued to their successful completion in order to honor the fallen, a philosophy which has ...

While they had been Muslim previously, there was a shift in the nature of the people’s understanding during the Ottoman occupation ...

It has been close to two years since Malaysian Boeing MH17 being downed over the disputed territory of eastern Ukraine.

Hegel's philosophy is the culmination of the German philosophy development, which began from Kant. Hegel created a grandiose philosophical system, which covered the whole totality of theoretical knowledge at that time.

Hegel's political doctrine had a tremendous impact on the development of political and legal thought. In his teaching, Hegel considered the idea of the state and law, assuming the task of the science of law and the state not the development of ideas about proper and reasonable ...

Discussion 1

Indeed, the author is very accurate in his observations that self-biases have affected the independence and validity of examining personal data. In fact, these biases have resulted due to the need by an individual to generate a very fair opinion of him, while compromising on the real measures of his parameters. Furthermore, I tend to agree by the fact that validity of measures is determined by both the sensational and cognitive factors. Therefore, independence and accuracy of self-generated data could only be guaranteed when the intervention of an external and impartial person is invoked (Ellis, Hartley, & Walsh, 2010). Tests ...

Introduction

Human developmental process is a logical and semantic journey that all of us have to embark on in order to reach the full potential, and the lifetime is a journey that oftentimes ends up causing one’s death.

The stage of infancy is of utmost innocence, and the world does not get to children in these days. The roles and social responsibilities of a person change as he or she grows ...
