Essays on Ronald Reagan

In the summer of 2012, I was called to meet with director Alan Smithee in the “Old Animation” building at Disney Studios in Burbank, California. I have worked on previous Disney films, but our offices were not on the studio lot. It was my first visit to the “Old Animation” building, and I was looking forward to the meeting. During my career I was fortunate enough to work at many Hollywood Landmarks. It was always thrilling to work at a historical location, but I’ve never been moved to document the experience. As soon as I reached the front steps ...

How revolutionary was the Reagan Revolution and how was it revolutionary?

In regard to President Reagan’s statement on the criminalization of drugs, I find the following instances fallacious; He goes on state that, all youths are under the influence of drug abuse. In the opinion of these ensuing events, he failed to acknowledge the fact that, society is never uniform. His statement is, therefore, not logically conclusive. It is vague in the most of its positions.

On the same note, he failed to highlight whether the issue was affecting only the male or all categories of youths. Similarly, President Reagan just mentioned statistics of drug abuse among Americans without ...

Chapter 16 – World War II

Zinn begins this chapter by posing a series of questions. Was World War II a people’s war as it had been claimed at the time? Why did the US really enter the war? How much did the imperialist powers of the day differ from Nazi Germany in terms of racism?

Zinn’s views are extremely interesting, considering that even today, these are issues people hardly ever discuss or even learn. We learn at school that the American intervention was caused by Hitler’s atrocities and the extreme loss of human lives in Pearl Harbor, but never about the real motives ...

Introduction:

Jimmy Carter was a President with a difference and even today he is still quite appreciated for his philanthropic work although his term as President was marked by a rather benign foreign policy which unfortunately did not always work and left him with considerable baggage in this respect.

Perhaps the American nation had high expectations regarding foreign policy especially after the disaster of the Watergate scandal and the quite uneventful Presidency of Gerald Ford. Notwithstanding all this, Carter was also quite unlucky in the sense that a number of issues occurred on his watch which could have been avoided especially the Iranian Revolution ...

‘Instructor’s Name’

Presidents Compared: Reagan and Obama A Chicago tribune article published in the year 2011 states that Obama and Reagan are differently similar. Both these Presidents, though Reagan took office nearly three decades before Obama, have many remarkable similarities. They both came in when the country faced a severe economic crisis, and they both inherited wars- Obama the war on terror; Reagan the cold war & Iranian hostage crisis. They both were expected to do miracles both in the economic and war front, and when they didn’t meet expectations, many political observers were disappointed. Though both of them were ...

Introduction

There is a wide range of text on the practice and concept of leadership. Leadership as a practice and concept lends itself to various interpretations, categorizations and theories. These exist because the mystery behind why some leaders’ styles are more effective than others remains unsolved. Leadership style is the entirety of a leader’s demeanor, personality and methods of communication in guiding others towards a particular team or organizational goal. Research on leadership style is dominated by analysis of subordinates’ perceptions on their leaders’ behavioral patterns in interpersonal relations, instructional leadership, instructional leadership, planning, and management efficiency (Sheehan and Sheehan 10). The definition ...

At one point of time, former President of America, Ronald Reagan was said to have a photographic memory. His expertise at memorization proved to be an asset when he was an actor and when he auditioned for becoming a sports announcer. However, when the ex-US president marched into his 70s, things were no more the same (Lowman, 2011). In 1993 it was observed that Reagan forgot many things, including the names of his aides, Cabinet officers and dignitaries. And during a regular annual health check-up at the Mayo Clinic in 1994, he was diagnosed with the dreaded Alzheimer’s disease (AD) ...

In the introduction to his 1990 second edition of his famous book, ‘The Politics of History”, Howards Zinn’s main argument is against the treatment of history as private enterprise. Howard claims that it is a historian’s social responsibility to do work that will be useful in unraveling some of the problems that plague humanity. Zinn delves into the American history to support his argument and draws many important aspects from this history. For instance, he dedicates a significant chunk of his writing to exploration of Ronald Reagan’s administration where he tries to show how this administration glorified the ...

Introduction It is believed that Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, is strongly influenced by the notion of free enterprise.

Friedman ultimately believes that the social responsibility of businesses is to increase their profits. In the same way, Reagan’s relaxed environmental policies is, in one way or another, a reflection of his ...

Communication

As a whole, how did these speakers connect with the audience to build rapport and enhance credibility? Were there similarities in their methods?

Introduction:

Politics and leadership have always been important parts of the world’s historical makeup and these will definitely never go away. Obviously one has to keep in mind that times change and the sort of leadership that was right and correct for the 19th century is probably anathema today.

He also inserts an interesting but heavy dose on the politics of the renowned Florentine, Machiavelli whose ‘The Prince’ ...

Like many forecasts Tocqueville made his by his projections of the past and the present and how they would meld into the future. It must be noted that at this time all Russia and the United States had going for them was continents that were rich in ...

- The shift in public perception toward the New Deal in the 70s and 80s is a fascinating phenomenon, one in which the liberalism and faith in government intervention for the sake of the working class was slowly replaced by an antimony for said working class – the adage ‘greed is good’ became an unironic anthem for the capitalism of the 80s, and signaled a dramatic change in American sentiment. The swinging of this economic pendulum is interesting, as it stemmed from a new kind of conservatism that arrived in the wake of the Vietnam war and the prospect of racial integration. In ...
