Essays on Political Culture

In the book, Edward Weisband and Courtney Thomas have discussed political culture, its application as well as the different aspects related to it. According to the authors, a political culture refers to all the factors that enable the thriving of a particular political system. In fact, the practices, the values, the beliefs, and the shared systems, all contribute to the formation of a political system that defines an administration. In as much as most people believe that such a culture is naturally formed, this notion is not true because it takes many years to develop fully and take strong ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

No region has experienced as much growth as the south as far as development and prosperity of the area in the United States of America are concerned. The region has been a victim of the conflict and was once said to be uninhabitable characterized by the lack of progress in the early late 19th century and early 20th centuries. The change in the region, especially in the contemporary society associated with its growth, demonstrates that indeed political progress is not cast in stone. The paper, therefore, embarks on providing an argument both positive and negative on the political issues ...

Question 1

Both China and India are on the way to becoming world-renowned economies (Bosworth & Collins 45-66). One of the reasons for the economy growth is that private firms are now allowed to practice in markets in which they were previously barred. The move attracted foreign investors to these countries spurring the growth currently seen in the countries. The growth seen in China also results from the good relations between the governments and the private businesses as well as investors. Another reason that the two nations have experienced tremendous economic growth is the fact that they have large markets for their ...

Question and Answer; Government

Things the Government Must Do The government has an obligation to carry out some actions in order to ensure that the country forges ahead. Firstly, any government has a duty to ensure that it has in place the various policies that empower women, in order to ensure that the women in their nations are empowered in all fields.

Without a doubt, American political culture, values and exceptionalism has hurt the quality of care that is available to most Americans. While such a statement might not seem intuitive when one considered the more popular known principles of American political culture such as the rule of law, and equality; it does make more sense when one considers the political values that are most involved in the healthcare system and its administration. Those values include federalism, liberty, capitalism, and democracy. Federalism refer to the constitutional principle that the federal government is a government of limited power; and those powers it ...

For this comparative research, we selected Spain and Germany, two countries of the European Union with similar political parliamentarian systems. Personification is a distinctive feature of presidentialism and it seems reasonable to examine to what extent this trend occurs in European parliamentary systems today.

The position of political leaders in parliamentary systems is different from the position occupied by them in the presidential republics. Lijphart identifies three characteristics that distinguish essentially presidentialism and parliamentarianism (Lijphart, 2000). Firstly, in a presidential system the executive chief is elected directly by the electors by popular vote and therefore without legislative intervention, so ...

America is a country with various cultures and races working together to advance the current economic, social and political structures.

The purpose of this paper is to try to analyse two symphony concerts which are performed by the Danish conductor Thomas Sondergard. The both concerts consist of the pieces of music of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and his symphonies No. 5 (C mol) and No. 11 (D mol). These concerts do not have lyrical mood, but they draw bright musical picture which is rather dramatic. Abrupt change of rhythms, dissonance notes, dialogues of musical instruments immerse the listener in the world of misery and opposition to the evil. Both symphonies have life-asserting character though.1 The four part symphony No. ...

Introduction

When people live in a society, they are imparted with specific values and norms which shape their understanding of different things. One of the unique understanding that people develop is their notion of how they expect the government to work. They also develop unique belief on what they expect the political system to do for them (Roskin, et al. 106). These beliefs towards the government or the political system that individuals of a given society develop are what are referred to as the political culture of a nation. The political culture varies from one nation to another. There are ...

The Ideological Origin of the American Revolution, published originally in 1967 by Harvard Professor of History Bernard Bailyn, is one of the most respected studies of the ideology and world view of the American Revolutionary period.

Bailyn’s text was part of a new movement in the study of history which actually focused on the actual documents produced by real people, including ordinary people, to create the historical narrative.

A feature of political culture is that it makes not policy or political process, but their understanding, an explanation.

One of the fundamental features of the political system is the pressure groups. Pressure groups represent organized groups that do not have their representative candidates for elections. However, the main aim of these groups is to influence government legislation or policy. They can also be referred as cause groups, interest groups, or protest groups.

“Should Immigration Require Assimilation?” by Tom Gjelten explores the complex dimensions of what it means to be “American” through the experience of one Salvadoran immigrant and several theorists’ views of assimilation. Gjelten focuses specifically on the experience of Hispanic immigrants to the United States, as well as the political and cultural aspects of “American identity” (Gjelten 4). I agree with Gjentle’s assertion that what it means to be an American is not as simple as citizenship, but I do not agree with his assessment that “ ‘Americanization’ brought certain obligations” (Gjelten 5). I agree that American identity is composed ...

A reflection on the United States elections held in the years 2004, 2008, and 2012 depicts a wider array of resemblances and differences. The differences are mainly related to the campaign issues that were dwelled on during these elections. To be precise, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were the main notable concerns in the 2004 and 2008 campaigns. In the year 2004, the incumbent president; Bush ran a smear campaign against his main contender; Kerry. Nonetheless, Kerry’s campaign was a pro Afghanistan and Iraq war campaign; hence, he was seen as a war hero. This is because a significant proportion of Americans ...

The Great Depression which was experienced between 1929 and 1933 was the most severe economic downturn in the modern times. The depression enhanced economic changes such in macroeconomic policy, economic theory, and economic institutions.

Part 1---The Issue

The action of police officers has often raised concerns of “excessive force.” It is common to see video reports and news showing the police beating and kicking a suspect. There are no clear lines defined as to where to limit the start and use of excessive force. This is because the term ‘excessive’ will tend to have different meanings in different jurisdictions. The police departments continue to make headlines due to the allegations of excessive force, drawing public attention to the issue of law enforcement reforms. The power and authority are central concepts of political order, and police, work ...

(Insert Institute) Most of the American Reform Movements date back to the nineteenth and twentieth century. Finding a basis in the political, economic, and social traditions within societies living in the United States, said movements sought to alter certain practices and beliefs amongst the citizens. Consequently, different minority groups, with the support of various allies, called for changes to alleviate their current positions within the social order. The primary goal for the movements revolves around raising awareness amongst community members and in turn, steer the country into policy changes (Kennedy and Bailey, 2001, p. 320). It is important to ...

- What theory or theories of crime best justifies or justify the imposition of capital punishment There are several legal theories that justify capital punishment in many jurisdictions. In such a punishment, the state puts one to death as a punishment for the crimes they may have committed. Legally, only capital offenses can attract capital punishments. The death sentence has always elucidated various reactions from the public, with some opposing it, and others support it. For instance, as of 2014, only 58 nations in the world actively practiced this punishment. 98 countries have so far abolished the punishment because it ...

“What political forces are involved in the Presidential election?” – The Party System In order to best understand the political forces involved in a presidential election, it is necessary to delve into the intricacies of the American political party system, and how these forces interrelate. Political parties essentially exist as a means to an end for politicians, who use them as a vehicle to advance their own agendas; parties are not created in a vacuum, but instead happen as a result of these politicians’ drives and goals (Aldrich 4). The primary parties involved in American presidential elections are the Democratic and Republican parties, effectively creating a ...

JAPANESE CULTURE & POLITICAL SYSTEM

In Japan, the natives follow the Confucian-inherited cultural practices and this has also slowly seeped into their political system as well. It would be inappropriate to say that the Chinese philosopher had no bearing on the country’s political system today, and so, in order to understand the influence of his teachings on Japanese culture and politics, the idea of understanding the concept of political culture can be studied. According to Sugino (1994), “political culture consists of both the constant and dynamic elements of a polity, maintained and transformed by the process of political socialization.” The Chinese philosopher’s teachings ...

Hobson defines the concept of state as: “State is a community of people, occupying a definite territory, organized under a government, which is supreme over all persons and associations within its territory and independent of all ...

Introduction

The Protestant Reformation was one of the most earth-shattering moments in European religious history; the split of the Christian Church between Catholicism and Protestantism started out small, with Martin Luther’s thesese, and quickly spread and developed throughout Europe. The impact of the Reformation on European life and religion was vast and widespread, as well as far more complex than anyone could have anticipated – different regions had different reactions to the Reformation, leading to distinct reactions to the huge religious change in different parts of the continent. The work of Pettegree (1992), Dickens (1993) and Duke (2000) strives to ...

Since U.S. was established as a nation, its citizens have been reluctant to give the government too much power. Many a time, they have expressed massive suspicion of the politicians.

They have also strongly given the government unwavering support in times of war. The government’s power started expanding in 1933 in order to meet the crises that were created by crash of the stock exchange market in 1929. Congress passed legislation which brought American government into the businesses of ...

Essay Question

It is irrefutable that the New Deal heralded a period of progression in America. It in fact greatly contributed to reversing the effects of the great depression (Skocpol and Finegold, 1982). However, historians have argued that the New Deal came at a price, especially in relation to racial equality. It is argued that leaving African-Americans out of the deal was the price the government had to pay to get the much needed support of the South (Katznelson, 2005). Accordingly, government policies, political culture, and laws entrenched racial inequality, which had far reaching consequences to date. The biggest breeding ground for ...

Texas State is unique because of its political culture. The unique political culture dates back to the Texas Revolution, Reconstruction and frontiersman life.

It is a fact that state and local governments affect our lives on a daily basis. They provide services which we consider basic such as snow and garbage removal. They as well set the standards for early and secondary education. It will not go unmentioned that they further determine the amount of money we pay in property taxes. Nevertheless, not all states can be graded equal in the quantity of resources at their disposal. Socio-demographics, geography, economic indicators, political culture and political history all have a proper influence on how the states collect their revenue thus affecting the policy outcomes. For ...

Are political conventions obsolete?

Political conventions in the United States have been a political culture that has been exercised both at a grass-root and federal level for a long time. As a stable democracy, the United States' political terrain is competitive. This necessitates the formulation of competitive platforms that leaves no leeway for counter-partisan criticism. Political conventions have been used to demonstrate that each party has a clear framework of the policy windows that they intend to formulate if elected to office. The just concluded Democratic and Republican national conventions was a clear indication that each party is geared to persuade and convince the public that their policy approach ...

The political spectrum of the United States is founded under four key political ideologies Liberalism, conservatisms, populist and Libertarians. The commonly applied ideas are those of liberals and conservatives. Therefore, since independence the political wave in the region is always a tussle between the liberals and the conservatives. Thus, the conservatives have a strong association or support with the Republican Party while the liberals gear towards promoting the Democratic Party. However, between 2004 and 2008, the American political culture has evidently been shifting towards the Liberal ideas therefore, changing the political wave in the region.

It is essential to realize that every society has a unique political culture. This political culture is shaped by the common needs exhibited by the members that constitute that particular society. The similarity of needs with a society means that that the electorate within that given area would be willing to vote to office leaders that have an agenda that seems to address these needs (Ellis 57). This is the phenomenon that has engulfed the State of North Carolina for many years. Most of the members that constitute the state both a local and state level tend to be in favor of ...

The terms political culture and socialization are all important in describing the political system of a particular society. Dickerson et al., defines political culture as the attitudes of people in a society towards certain notions, principles, and habits related to their government and politics (49). On the other hand political socialisation can be defined as the learning process in which the beliefs, traditions, and values that are accepted by a political system are transmitted from one generation to another (Greenberg 13). It is from this knowledge that we can safely say that the political culture of a society is directly related to its ...
