of removing government control and opening the deregulated passenger aim transport industry to market forces. Changes were drastic, and airports quickly went bankrupt. The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 was also symbolism for chief executive. The act declared national parks, national wildlife Refuges, wild and scenic Rivers, and national forest systems in various public lands in Alaska. Under the act, nearly 18 acres of land were provided as refuge. The act too gave…
ever ask if the images are true to the original.” ~Ronald Reagan Very few figures in American history are as studied and scrutinized as Ronald Reagan. Reagan was elected to the presidency in a crucial period in American history; a recession threatened American prosperity and the Soviet Union’s aggressive expansion threatened the freedom of the entire world but Reagan endeavored to combat these evils with his strong Conservative beliefs. Reagan was an influential figure in U.S. history and…
The middle class struggled because their taxes were being raised to pay for special programs for the lower classes. The people of the middle class also experienced cuts in their jobs. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan cut social services and many residents came to protest against cuts in funds for the teacher, firemen, and police force. The middle class also felt the pressure on rising prices and the uneasiness of finding a job. Zinn states that, “a college education is no longer a guarentee…
era of reasonable growth with rising inequality, from 1980 until the present.”(Krugman 54), due to the rise of Movement Conservatism. What might very well be proof of the effectiveness of the New Deal, is the consequences which occur as members of the far right attempt to wither away at its policies. “The New Deal 's greatest legacy was a shift in government philosophy. As a result of the New Deal, Americans came to believe that the federal government has a responsibility to ensure the health…
reforms of crack sentencing laws, much higher penalties still exist for possession and sale of crack, even though they are almost chemically identical. Because of the obvious disparities between the penalties for the different forms of cocaine, many believe that the mass incarceration of people of color in this country —particularly African American youth— is a blatant way of systematically controlling minority groups; much like the Jim Crow laws were until the mid-1960’s. The War on Drugs was…
Congress continually looks the other way ignoring the fact that the required oversight is not being provided. Again, the underlying question here is why isn’t Congress willing to do its job? Recent rhetoric coming from Congress suggests a bipartisan desire to do something but nothing seems to ever come to fruition. Karoun Demirjian highlights the fact that many Members have proposed new authorizations to use military force, including one by the President; however, none have made it…
disguised as refugees, to infiltrate our country” (Prescription). Finally, Dr. Carson’s views on education include supporting teachers more, helping expand educational opportunities for everyone, and lowering the cost of education. He believes that “teachers are the greatest resources in our educational system”, that “a student’s zip code or race should not determine their success”, and that “we must take affirmative steps that lead to a reduction in tuition costs and student loan debt” (Ben).…
When you hear the word ‘flood’ what do you think of? The majority of us probably think of the scientific definition of the word: a natural disaster that happens when a large amount of water covers an area of land that is normally dry (Merriam-Webster Online). However, in recent years, this scientific definition has been taken out of context to form a tasteless political metaphor. In the United States, immigration has/is frequently referred to as a flood, a stream, a tide, a wave, a tsunami, or a…
Just say no,” was a popular slogan when I was growing up. Throughout the 1980’s President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy created a powerful anti-drug campaign that used images like an egg representing a brain, and an egg frying for a brain on drugs. As a kid I couldn’t watch Saturday morning cartoons without being bombarded with anti-drug advertisements. Today kids get a different kind of message, not all drugs are bad regardless of the law. They are getting this message through the…
