    The Great Depression, which lasted from 1929 up until 1941, defines the time period when there was a financial and industrial collapse in America, causing unemployment rates to skyrocket, as well as the amount of homeless people. Caused by the constant speculation and buying on margin that took place so frequently in the stock market, the Great Depression left America in just that state of mind: depressed. Republican Herbert Hoover was elected president of the United States in 1928 after a race against democrat Al Smith. Hoover believed in three concepts that would contribute to the initiation of the Great Depression: rugged individualism, the belief that citizens should not rely on the government but themselves in order to create a well-lived…

    President Obama’s Hypocrisy President Barack Hussein Obama is the forty fourth president of the United States elected in 2008 and he is the first president, under the constitution, of African descent. He worked his way up from the Illinois State Senate to the US Senate and was officially sworn in as president on January 20, 2009. Given his background in politics, logically, people assumed that he was a responsible, trustworthy candidate for president; however, his actions prove otherwise. His past work does not stand for his mental ability to run and decide for a country. Instead of his idea of “hope” and “change”, his presidency has brought the United States to the brink of ruin.…

    George Herbert Walker Bush came into the presidency as one of the most qualified candidates to assume the office. He had a long career in both domestic politics and foreign affairs, knew the government bureaucracy, and had eight years of hands-on training as vice president. Still, if presidential success is determined by winning reelection, Bush was unsuccessful because he failed to convince the American public to give him another four years in office. Generally the Bush presidency is viewed as successful in foreign affairs but a disappointment in domestic affairs. In the minds of voters, his achievements in foreign policy were not enough to overshadow the economic recession, and in 1992, the American public voted for change.…

    History is usually suggested as a continuum of similar events that occur repetitively. Machiavelli’s quote, “Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past, for human events ever resemble those of the preceding times”, is exemplified by events in history and issues that still exist. There are multiple historic occurrences that can attest to Machiavelli’s thinking, specifically three will be discussed, each within a different spectrum. In order to attest to Machiavelli’s thinking, a comparison between the Great Depression and the recession of 2008, a correlation between Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump will be made, and the similarity of the Jewish refugee and Syrian refugee crises. Machiavelli’s words still hold to be accurate, from…

    For roughly the past 100 years the presidential elections have been a very sensitive subject, and it begs the question of what makes a good president. Although there are generally a few presidents who rank at the top, to name someone the best president is very subjective. Opinions can change due to many reasons; the main being the political party one associates their self with. One way to gauge a president is by how many terms they served. Teddy Roosevelt had served two terms and, although he did not win the election of 1912, he is still generally considered to be one of the most effective presidents.…

    While President Obama is giving his speech at Michigan’s graduation ceremony he starts off by trying to relate to the American people by having to do normal everyday things like commuting in traffic. Obama also wants to connect with the American public by telling them that he reads their letters every day to show them that he is a part of them and not in control of them. He has a progressive mentality when opening up his speech. He is reaching out to the hearts and minds of the average person by telling a heartwarming story about a kid in kindergarten and asking him if people are nice to him. When Obama says “there are some things that we can only do together, as a nation- and that our government must keep pace with the times” I believe that…

    A bully pulpit, despite what it may sound like, has nothing to do with bullies; not in the modern sense of the word, anyways. It is a phrase coined by our twenty-sixth president, Theodore Roosevelt, describing not himself, but the white house as a metaphor. He was using an older meaning of the word bully, which meant excellent or superb, as an adjective to his position. A bully pulpit is, in his context of the phrase, describing the white house as a fantastic stage from which to promote an agenda. So the scenario we as a country are faced with, again and again, is this: we have multiple issues that need attention.…
