Essays on Political Science

“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

This theory is a good fit for the research project as it weighs the benefits of gun control against the setbacks. It relates directly to the research question and clearly involves a variable that can be measured (Moore, 2001). As such, I intend to use it by comparing how the gun control laws prevent people from owning and using guns for their protection. Research will be conducted on scholarly sources to determine how much gun control laws have put people at risk of being attacked, when they could have been capable of self-protection (Van Evera, 1997). This theory operates ...

Introduction

In the early part of the 1950’s, in what has now become the “Simon-Waldo debates,” began to be published in The American Political Science Review. Starting as a reference in Waldo’s “Development of Theory of Democratic Administration” work that was released in March 1952, the high profile debates was anchored on Waldo’s doubts on the concern of “logical positivism” and the response of Herbert Simon in the succeeding June issue of the Review. As newcomers to the discipline and both in their early 30s, Waldo and Simon discussed the issues of democracy, efficiency, and principles, ...

Labor impacts play an important role in the analysis of impacts ...

CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ROLE OF CRISIS IN INDUCING POLICY CHANGE

Introduction Most nations make policies after they enter serious crisis. There is a general notion that a critical problem requires a critical solution. Thus, nations that came under Nazi or Japanese attack in the eve of the Second World War declared a state of emergency and made sweeping changes to their national policies. These changes had far-reaching impacts on the functioning of the arms of governments and the entire nation had to suspend various activities to implement the policies in response to the crises. However, after World War II, significant events have been considered as turning points in national ...

Introduction

In their attempt to identify appropriate research approaches in politics, feminists have often criticized traditional social science methodologies. In her article on women and democracy and the patriarchal welfare state, Carole Pateman raises the issue of the highly patriarchal political scene. She indicates that the positive and social democratic perspective is that a welfare state provides social meaning and equal worth to the political and juridical rights of all citizens. A second, more pessimistic, view on the welfare state, according to Pateman (1987) is that it provides the government with new approaches to exercising power over and governing the ...

Summary Synthesis

In this paper, the author aims “to offer a more compelling understanding of the foundations of new international relations theory” (Vitalis 911). He seeks to do this not merely from the perspectives of historical sociology and international law but also regarding the racial anthropology and racial biology in the American historical context. He argues that there is a problem in the way social and political scientists understand the place of race and how the early scientists of these centuries construed or thought about it. He considers it an error for modern scientists to examine the works of early scientists ...

In countries that have experienced high rates of lawlessness and rebellion from citizens, governments and organizations can use employment to curb or reduce violence and violence related crimes. The belief is that once someone is engaged in productive work in which he/she will benefit at the end in terms of payment, he/she will concentrate on it. In addition, such employment opportunities, where the job itself is free of risks, are embraced. This is different from cases of violence where victims will keep looking over their shoulder constantly because they fear that the long arm of the law will finally ...

Britons’ decision to exit European Union is a reflection of their socio – cultural specificities and their expectations for an envisioned life in United Kingdom. When analyzing the Brexit decision, there should be considered the tight vote, as 52% of the voters opted for leaving EU, while 48% voted for remaining (Erlanger para 4). This score indicates that leaving EU was not a unanimous decision, but one that reflected the diverse interests and reasons of Britons. Connected with the liberal ideas coming out of enlightenment, this liberal exercise of reasoning echoes Kant’s urge to reason, breaking free from religious ...

Two Founding Fathers, Washington’s closest advisers, the first secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and the first secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, presented different viewpoints of the American Revolution and were one of the first people, who shaped the political landscape in the new-born independent country. Their debate and opposition have eventually led to the founding of the dual party system in the U.S., which still operates today. Although the economic conditions and political needs were different at that period, the basic principles and ideals remain currently central. In the first part of 20th century Hamilton and Jefferson ...

Importance of Entrepreneurial Activity to the UK Economy

Assignments 2 Introduction The constant growth and evolution of economic relations, both between countries and between entrepreneurs within a country, are requirements for the creation of new business forms. Entrepreneurship is an important, but not a sufficient factor in economic and social developments of countries (Waschik, Fisher and Prentice, 2010). However, if left uncontrolled by the state, entrepreneurship can become just as harmful as the administrative-command system in an economy. Entrepreneurship is essential for the development of a competitive economic environment; in order to give the final consumers the freedom of choice, but does not content with goods offered ...

Importance of Entrepreneurial Activity to the UK Economy

Introduction Constantly growing and developing economic relations, both between countries and between participants within a country, are prerequisites for the creation of new forms of business. Entrepreneurship is an important, but not the only factor in economic and social development of many countries (Waschik, Fisher and Prentice, 2010). However, uncontrolled, no adjustable (wild) business (without the supervision of the state) is just as harmful as the administrative-command system. Entrepreneurship is essential for the development of a competitive environment, in order the final consumer of products has the right to choose, but does not content with goods offered to him/her ...

Introduction: Overview & Thesis

According to a PBS report in 2011, commenting on Middle East rooted terrorist group attacks, “While these extremely violent religious extremists represent a minority view, their threat is real” (Moore, “Evolution of Islamic Terrorism”). Today, of course, the most commonly popularized terrorist group gaining worldwide headlines in the news are the jihadists known as ISIS. Ever since ISIS has gained center stage internationally, there is hardly a human being who is not aware of the group’s presence on Earth. Currently it has been written that the contemporary world in the Middle East has been socio-politically changed, and the ...

Introduction

Contemporary academic analysis is concentrated on the issue of states’ emergence. The former is analyzed in different social, political, and economic contexts. Such state of affairs can be explained from the practical point of view, meaning nowadays there are many players at the international level which have recently appeared. However, in order to understand the nature of the aforementioned processes, the historical analysis is thought to be of great importance, since lots of contemporary phenomena took place in the previous centuries. Thus, in this paper, the correlation between the Sykes-Picot agreement, formation of the Palestinian identity, and creation of ...

Abstract

The modern bureaucratic system replaced the previous patriarchal system which had some flaws that slowed down the further development of the society. The administrative bodies make decisions and realize them, resorting to enforcement matters when it’s needed, within their authority. The bureaucracy tries to satisfy the needs of those people that it administrates, while those people are taking care of other things: production of material and spiritual goods, bringing up the new generation, health care, and their own professional and personal development. The bureaucracy acts in behalf of those people who empowered it to manage the public affairs. ...

Introduction

Since the end of the Great Wars, the US hegemony has remained superior than other countries and it was clear no one would be able to challenge their dominance in the fields of politics and the economy. Many countries often seek the advice of the US in terms of their political and economic reforms and seek aid to ensure their continuous growth. When there are major conflicts, the US is considered by many countries to act immediately due to its role as a world police. Considering its role in the international arena, many believed that the US would remain ...

Economics is an important discipline that concerns an individual’s daily activities. However, as much as the importance of economics to the people and the daily lives of individuals, it can be considered to have been influenced by other disciplines. Economics is a vast discipline that covers a lot of aspects that are important. As a result, the wide scope of knowledge covered by economics comes from multiple disciplines that are studies. Political science can be considered as one the discipline that influences economics largely (Malthus, Donald Winch, and Patricia James 194). Economics covers a wide scope of knowledge ...

This article asserts that some of the acts that the legislature defines as crimes are not actions that can cause much harm to the society and future generations, but there are acts that are defined as crimes that pose grave dangerous. Accordingly, the author notes that if one assumes that every person who commits a crime is a criminal then it is hard to find a person who is not a criminal in the United States. In this regard, the article presents two kinds of ‘ ...

Thomas Hobbes is a 17-century English philosopher famous for his contributions into the theory of political philosophy. Thomas Locke believed that that the success of any state is in the monarchy and that only people’s full obedience to the sovereign can guarantee them protection and safety. Thomas Hobbes saw a success of a state in the theory of social contract under which people, initially born with rights, relinguish all their rights to the monach who, in his/her turn, protects his/her people and guarantees peace in the state itself. This theory is based on the idea that all people ...

Introduction

Cultural diversity plays important roles in people’s identity. This is because cultures influence how people relate as well as how a society interprets its values. It is also through culture that nations are defined, for their identity is mostly founded in their cultures (Ruhl, 26). One country whose identity has had great influence from cultural basis is Canada. This paper looks into different aspects and features which are associated with Canadian culture. This is in consideration of Canada’s multicultural aspects with different traditions and customs derived from different people who form Canadian community. The paper attempts to ...

Political ideologies are collections of different thoughts that seek to communicate with the best form of government in the society (Heywood 12). According to many thinkers, the society is organized in different forms of governance, which determine how the administrative policies are made. In this precept, some ideologies are right and take the will of the people in structuring the way the government discharges its duties. On the other hand, some government philosophies are so harsh to its people and leave them with nothing to hope for nor to dream. This paper elucidates different ideologies as presented by various ...

Ideology expresses ideas reflecting individual aspirations and social needs of a group, class, or cultural organization. It is thus a set of beliefs that forms the core basis of political, economic, and social systems reflecting the interests and beliefs and characterizes the thinking of a common group of people such as a nation.

The term ideology was originally born of highly controversial philosophical and political debates and fights in the French Revolution resulting to acquisition of several meanings. However, the idea was to portray an aspect of “science of idea that separated ideology as general grammar and logic based on the subject, ...

I have always considered that the person who invented society was probably the greatest genius ever living on earth. Social norms, human relationships, communication, collaboration, progress, society, they are all part of a political system. Excepting the abstract concepts such as love, happiness or virtue, everything in the world, locally or globally, at micro level, or at macro level, is political. The dynamics and particularities of the international political scene fascinate me. It is with great interest that I follow the socio-political concepts integrated in the speeches or strategies of politicians or in the pleads and defenses of the lawyers. ...

Studying international relations is an important aspect as the same not only requires an understanding of state of affairs in between nations at present, but in the future the very same understanding capabilities may translate into formulation of foreign policies. Studying about international relations is a challenging task as the same requires knowledge of political science, law and economics, yet the subject area is different from these individual aspects. The reason being international relations is a combination of political science, economics and law as the underlying factors in each of the above domains result in the formulation of ...

Politics maily rely on the element of power. An individual or a group of people must acquire a control over the rest since he, or she has the power over them. The power in politics may be properly understood with proper understanding of the various political notions. Although, there are a number of notions that define political power the most critical ones at the moment are conservatism and feminism. Each of them is unique on the principles that define them as well as the political power that they hold. They have exclusive command on the flow of politics in the different countries ...

In finding the correlation and association between two numerical variables, determined sets of information must be as accurate as possible. Otherwise, discrepancies in results and intended/unintended statistical manipulation could change the course of a mathematically involved study. For me, two factors could change the course and the outcome of a specific research in a major way – these variables are known as measurements and biased sampling.

Measurements and biased sampling correlate with one another in data extraction. However, inaccurate measurements unintentionally or intentionally done are different. Measurements based on estimation and inaccurate are also different depending on mathematical circumstances. Measurements are variables ...

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 with that coalition government. ...

Jack Snyder talks of realism, liberalism and idealism in the context of United States of America.

However, despite these similarities, the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science (BAAS) is more of a vocational degree, which provides the learners with the preparations ...

Introduction

The debate on the adequacy and sufficiency of presidential versus parliamentary systems has been raging since the fall of the Soviet Union and its communist ideals. Academicians, scholars, and politicians from diverse parts of the world are deeply stratified by the two democratic systems, with each side professing more benefits than the other. The choice of a democratic system for a nation depends on varying factors such as their culture, history, demographic characteristics, and composition of the population (O’Neil, 2012). While each democratic system has its own merits and demerits, I personally think that the presidential system is better at ...

A Public Administration degree prepares and enables the student to administer public and private organizations, non-profit and service groups, and get employed in different organs of ...

Introduction

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

Introduction

According to Jowett & O’Donnell (1), propaganda is a method of communication which tries to elicit a response that propagates the desired intention of the propagandist. The art of propaganda has been studied in an array of multidisciplinary researches in the fields of journalism, sociology, history, political science and psychology. To study the art of propaganda as history means examining propagandist practices as distinct events and the resultant events as likely effects of propaganda. Nazi films were predominantly propagandist in that they aimed at influencing attitudes on life in a given context, and in terms of particular people and events. Perhaps the ...

1. Is comparative politics a science? Why is it so difficult to create a science of comparative politics? Comparative politics is an empirical study of political science that uses formulations and concepts that applies in many countries. Comparative politics is a method that is applied in political science to address local politics, conflicts, and political institutions. The field of comparative politics uses methodological approaches to compare patterns in various countries. Comparative politics does not use a substantive approach since it fails to define the objective of the study. The focus of comparative politics applies in multiple countries by use of methodology to ...

Question 1

Comparative politics refers to a scientific method of study in the field of political science. Comparative politics is a science because it involves comparison of two or many countries with an attempt to draw a conclusion drawing on those relationships. The method used in comparative politics resembles other methods, which scientists used in the field of physical sciences since it also tries to ascertain empirical associations between variables. Political science differs from physical science in one aspect, in that, in physical sciences, is the methods of testing available to each field. In the field of physical sciences, scientists can conduct controlled experiments ...

The political parties in Canada are consumed by the politics of identity. The political parties are trying to gain the confidence and favor of the ethnic minorities in Canada. The parties are addicted so much to the identity politics that they are desperately making efforts for appealing to the minority groups such as females, gays, evangelical and the disabled population of Christians. The politics of identity that is prevailing in the Canada’s political parties is paving the way to the fragmentation of culture and promoting individualistic behavior instead of togetherness.

Although he was the youngest and was adored by everyone in the family, he learned to become as responsible and as persevering as his older siblings. Faith in ...

Part 1: Do American’s Need Government?

Which institutions make a difference and how do they make a difference? Yes, American’s need government: the government is not only beneficial to the Americans in more ways than one, but also necessary. There are undertakings within the county’s setting that require the government’s oversight. The government is important as it ensures there is military control and protection of its citizens. Through the government, the country is provided with a defense system through which it can defend and or deter attacks within its boundaries. The government is also important as it ensures there is a means of representation for ...

The Central Intelligence Agency was established courtesy of the National Security Act in 1947. The agency has by large retained its structure and form until the recent changes introduced in 2004 courtesy of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act. However, by and large, the agency has often remained with one primary mandate. This entails the collection of intelligence for the consumption of policymakers in the United States of America. This role calls for a higher threshold of ethics and moral conduct given the sensitivity of the function in question. It is imperative to appreciate the fact that intelligence forms ...

My journey into attaining my Bachelor of Arts in political science has been a tedious process. I had to overcome several obstacles to finally achieve this level of education. However when I take a look at my journey and compare it with the Frederick Douglass story several similarities can be drawn. We cannot deny that Frederick Douglass lived at a time when life was harsh for Blacks as they were not allowed to learn how to read and write. This might not be the case now but I draw my determination from him and how he tried everything he could to succeed ...
