Government Corruption On Earth

Improved Essays
Corruption on Earth is the norm, no matter what the government style. Our 2050 Martian colony will embody the best of historical government styling from Earth. To avoid government corruption in our colony, I will establish a royal president, the king or queen, and an elected parliament to bring fairness plus tradition, flare, and personality to the government. The best of socialism will be maintained through a strongly regulated and funded health care, education, and public service programs. Because I value each citizen 's constitutional values, I plan to create laws to advocate for freedoms of speech, press, and expression as the best of the democratic government style. I believe that we can create and operate a colony on Mars that practices …show more content…
People are allowed to voice their opinions about what they feel is right and what they believe in. Citizens are allowed to post anything they want on a social media site, such as photos, opinions, publications, etc. People are allowed to voice their opinion about other people, but not oppress them. People are not allowed to sit on a media website or in front of a person degrading them by talking trash or making false statements. A person is also not allowed to tell another person to kill themselves, or else they will be charged with slander or attempted murder.

Freedom of expression will allow people to express themselves how ever they feel the need too. Whether it be through clothing, hairstyles, music, religion, etc, a person has the full right to express themselves. This right has only age limits when it comes to doing something permanent with their body, like a tattoo or a piercing. The age to get a piercing with a parent is 13 and the age to not have a parent with you is 16. When getting a tattoo, you have to be 16 with a parent, or 18 to go in by yourself. The freedom of expression cannot be taken away in school or a work place, as it is a basic human

    Freedom of expression is a uniquely American tradition, at least to the extent we have here. Amy Witherbee, a researcher who studies how democracy and censorship go hand and hand said “At the core of censorship is always a parallel belief in the ability of an idea to alter lives and change nations. The challenge is to let those ideas wreak their havoc, and trust in our capacity as the citizens of a democracy to make of the damage something better than what was there before. If, on the other hand, we close down the arguments, retract the controversies, and avoid the challenges, then what we have is not a real democracy, but a nation afraid to lead itself” (Witherbee Par. 12). The First amendment is in place to protect citizens from censorship.…

    Fair and effective governance are crucial components to preventing civil strife within any modern society. Unfortunately, in most instances where gross negligence and misappropriation of government resources occurs, the sovereign state will typically lose its ability to effectively conduct policy at nearly every level of infrastructure. In the end, the Hoi Polloi are often the ones who bear the largest brunt of the instability generated by those who mismanaged a nation’s available resources. The research presented in this chapter will portray corruption as the solvent that ultimately dissolves the bond of a functioning society; eventually, continual graft will lead to lawlessness, which in the end, leads to unlawful yet, lucrative moneymaking ventures, such as wildlife trafficking.…

    A lot of people like to pop the question "what does the FBI serve to the U.S.A and what do they contribute to the country?. " Not knowing what they do and how they contribute to the country, could be pretty hard knowing the fact that they like to stay secretive and most of their cases are top secret.

Which are terrorist attacks, foreign intelligence operations, cyber based attacks with high-technology crimes, combat public corruption, civil rights, combat transnational criminal organization, enterprises, combat major white-collar crime, significant violent crime, federal state local international partners, and upgrading technology to fulfill their missions.

    Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy, that is as well technically a constitutional democracy under the dominion of the British Commonwealth; however, the British Commonwealth is purely ceremonial and does not possess any real control over the direction of Canada nor any actions dealing with Canadian foreign policy. The head of state of Canada is Queen Elizabeth II of the British Commonwealth, but as I stated earlier she holds no real power in Canada and is ceremonial. The true power in Canada is endowed to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is selected after a federal parliamentary election is held, and the party with the most seats in the House of Commons will elect their party leader to become the new Prime Minister whether through…

    After reading all things about the online privacy and freedom of speech, it can now cause someone to form an opinion on the big question. Should the people really have the right to the First Amendment or anonymity online? The strong arguments from both sides will always be building and building but a person cannot deny that everyone has the constitutional right to their freedom of speech.

    The United States Congress is the ground for policymaking in our nation. I chose to write about corruption in Congress, because the 535 members of the House and the Senate have the power to place limitations on levying taxes, and solving problems that cause America to be so divided. The legislative branch is able to control almost every aspect of American life in some way. A Princeton University study comparing 1,779 outcomes to what the public actually wanted found that groups representing business interests have substantial influence on the outcome of certain bill. Since the House and Senate are highly influenced by special interest groups and economic elites, Congress can become a market for corruption with many groups out to buy votes.…

    The First Amendment protects citizen’s rights to free speech. The First Amendment is “applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, restricts governmental interference with citizens’ free expression rights” (McCarthy, Cambron-McCabe, & Eckes, 2014, p. 93). However, students’ right to free speech in the educational setting can be limited if “the expression is likely to disrupt the educational process or collide with the rights of others” (McCarthy et al., 2014, p. 98). The Supreme Court applies the First Amendment in many cases regarding free speech. Through these various cases, the Supreme Court has established four legal principles to guide student expression rights in public educational facilities (McCarthy et al., 2014, p. 95).…

    Abel Fields Free Speech

    • 570 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Today I’m here to express my views on the U.S. vs. Fields a very distinct and intriguing case that involves the topic of free speech. First we have the defendant Abel Fields who was convicted under the Stolen Valor Act, after Mr. Fields portrayed himself claiming that he had “military experience” claiming he had a Purple Heart, also the Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, and even the Air force cross. This made him believe that it gave him the right to speak with authority on the issues but these claims were false. Abel Fields appealed his decision to the court, stating that he viewed the Stolen Valor Act as unconstitutional and believes that his right to the first amendment was being violated. Field’s prosecutors argue that even though Mr. Fields…

    To me both freedom of speech and academic freedom serve the same purpose and necessity, especially on a college campus. If institutions of higher learning are allowed to infringe on the expressed rights of students, faculty, and staff as a nation it is my belief that we have lost all hope in our government, and in the laws that are implemented to serve and protect us. The Bill of Rights was implemented to protect society, institutions of higher learning were also implemented to protect society, if one disregards the other it will be a systemic failure that we will all…
