All Americans are afforded freedom and safety to live their lives, but unfortunately, this is not the case for the LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender) community, specifically speaking the use of public restrooms.

It is possible, however, that in accordance with propriety, we have become too caught up with how candidates act, or how they speak, and are not concerned enough with what they want to do, or what they will actually do. In some cases we are not concerned enough with what they have already done, as well. In the cases of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, we find very good examples of this. Throughout their debates over the course of the presidential primaries, ...

Since leaving the State Department, Clinton has provided some indication about what her policies would be in the Middle East in general and Israel in particular. Nevertheless, a certain degree of uncertainty still exists. While there ...

1-How Was The Economy When Obama Took Office? (Unemployment Rate, Inflation, and GDP)

The US government has recently been embroiled in a series of fresh scandals under the Obama administration. The nature of the United States dictates that the actions of the government elected over the polity are in direct oversight of the polity by virtue of the rights of citizens. This creates an environment wherein political figures are often tried by the court of public opinion despite the possibility of the ostensible legality of their actions. In what was one of the most sensational scandals of the last century, President Bill Clinton saw his administration stained very seriously following his illicit sexual ...

Notwithstanding the fact that the war on terror was officially launched by the White House a little more than a decade ago the main trends in the American foreign policy regarding Middle East have changed significantly in these dozen-something years a couple of times.

The founding fathers of this nation pieced together Constitutional guarantees for the citizens of the land to protect them from anarchy and tyranny.

The Fifth Amendment allows a citizen not to testify in court if the information would be self-incriminating. The Sixth Amendment allows citizens to the right to have their day in court.

American Foreign Policy on the Cold War and Modern Russia

History has long portrayed the United States and Russian Federation (or the former Soviet Union) as bitter rivals since the time of the Great Wars and the onset of the Cold War. Both became the leader of the West and the East as the world’s superpowers in the Cold War, with one becoming the de-facto leader of the international community and the other becoming a silent entity in the European region. For years, both countries remained in conflict in several aspects within the international arena and in the side of the United States, their foreign policy had indicated some ...

The president of the United States of America is required under Article two of Section three of the United States Constitution to give a state of the union address to the nation. It is usually delivered once a year in January or February. The tradition began in 1790 when George Washington delivered a State of the union address before a joint sitting of the congress, usually in the House of Representatives. Thomas Jefferson discontinued the tradition, arguing that it was too monarchical in nature and it was replaced by a written report by the president. In the twentieth century President Woodrow Wilson re-established the ...

Question 2: Guard Dogs & Watch Dogs

Corporate America had grown so powerful and pervasive that it can manipulate the government and its agencies to further its goals. Ideally, the government, which comprises the executive, Congress, and the judiciary, is expected to regulate the economy. While the judiciary has remained largely independent (even though ideological factors still play a role), Congress and the executive have become too deeply entangled with private individuals and firms that policy decision-making is not always driven by public interest. Harvey (2007) argues that the rise of neoliberalism in key countries across the world has seen the reduction of the power of organized ...

Introduction

Humanitarian intervention as a concept can be traced back to the seventeenth century. This is the time when the foundations for the contemporary internationally recognized system of sovereignty of states and the principle that such sovereign states have control over all the matters within their borders was established. Since them, the concept has been reformed to enable the international community through the United Nations to protect citizens within sovereign states from human rights abuse, civil wars, ethnic cleansing and political abuse (Piereson, 2013). Although the United Nations charter does not allow the intervention in sovereign states, various humanitarian crises since ...

Illegal Immigration and the Obama Administration

Introduction The current influx of illegal immigration at the United States and Mexico border affects every aspect of American life. For each individual residing in the United States, citizen or alien, the legal status of each person should matter to all of us.

We can no longer turn a blind eye to the political, social, and economical issues that have slowly resulted due to weak attempts to combat the flood of illegal immigrants crossing into America (Savino 88).

Effective leadership involves the process of developing motivated and satisfied followers (Hughes H. R., 2012). Motivation provides direction, power and determination to behavior.

Satisfaction deals with how one feels about the work activity, promotion and pay (Hughes H. R., 2012). Best leaders are those who motivate workers to perform at a higher level but at the same time, they maintain a higher level of job satisfaction. Motivational theories and approaches such as ...

Egypt's military-backed government led by Abdel Falah al Sisi is trying to establish a political order since July 2013.

The tendency of different media sources to cover the same story differently or with bias is common in the modern days. Obviously, this happens because of many reasons that operate in the background of each media station or forces behind influential individuals in various media. Of course, all the biases in the media attest to the popular notion that the media is not neutral. This is something that we can all agree. Noticing that claims must be backed up with facts, a close analysis and comparison of the coverage of president Obama’s speech on ISIS across the guardian newspaper, ...

Section 1: US Government

When the US constitution was set up, the founders divided the new government into three co-equal branches of government: The Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial. Each was given separate areas of responsibilities, that were designed to make the branches work together to govern the county. The idea was that no one branch would grow to dominate the other two. To make sure that didn’t happen, the founders built a system of checks and balances into the constitution. This system consists of a series of powers that each branch has over the other two, to prevent any one branch from ...

The advert titled “Mitt Romney: Be Not Afraid” by Mitt Romney during the 2012 elections has significant lessons in political communication.

Ethical issues in this ad This ad amounts to “misrepresentation of the opponent’s messages” and mudslinging. The Romney ad stated that the Obama administration had declared “war on religion” (usatoday.com). It took advantage of the opinion in the San Antonio Express- News that had the following words “Obama’s Insurance Direction Declares War on Religion” (usatoday.com). As such, the ad was blowing a newspaper opinion out of proportion and misrepresenting facts. In actual sense, the Obama administration had required employers to provide health insurance that is inclusive of free contraception (usatoday.com). Since Catholics and conservatives are opposed to ...

As Salaam (2012) asserts, the American economy was already on the decline way before the 2008 crash. He suggests that the recession began way back in 2000 and most notably in 2007, but the country was spared the pains by the unsustainable boom in property sector. When the slump hit in 2008, the country was least prepared for it. This slump has persisted to this day. VCU (2014) concedes to this fact saying that the recession has resulted to a ...
