period of July to November involved various media outlet coverage on the matter as the nation awaited to see if Berkeley could do what other cities and states across America had attempted but failed to succeed in. Funding for the campaigns to pass the tax were used to a significant proportion in payment of media coverage and campaign consultants (State of California, 2014). The Berkeley vs Big Soda webpage reflects the efforts made through print and electronic types of media formats, through…
In order to preserve society, a balance of individual and state must be addressed as well as one’s personal conscience. Government’s hold a lot of power, and they let that power go to their head. They let their pride, fear, arrogance, and vanity get the best of them. This affects their personal and lawful decisions. Also people deserve to be able to stand up for what they believe in without being scared. These individuals are afraid to do what they think is morally right because of the fear of…
past, including welfare. One of the parts that catch my attention from the history of welfare is that it was one of the reason states started controlling the inflow of people in their territory. They started to keep records of new arrivals, limiting the time period they can stay, and turned people away if they were sick, or seem like they would become a burden to the state for any other reason. Some of the punishment back then for those who disobey were brutal. For example, if someone was…
Secretary Purdue, It has been brought to my attention that, in recent years, motions have been made to decrease NSLP funding. Over time, I have come to see a pattern in the NSLP. My findings include: less financial support (to the NSLP) makes for poorer quality, which makes for low involvement and student participation, which brings even lower income, and the cycle repeats. While funds may be a large part of the cycle, the food condition is the weak link in the NSLP. The decrease in…
But history has shown that liberalist and realist nation states behaviour differently to other states. How can an anarchic international society allow such behaviour? According to Alexander Wendt, argues that anarchy is a political concept that states manipulates to their political perspective. Therefore, it is the purpose of this essay to discuss and demonstrate how anarchy is perceived, the effects it has on realist and liberalist states behaviour. In order to understand Wendt's position,…
the fact that the Algerian people did not even believe that the French were justified to be in control of their country. After being conquered in the early 19th century, Algeria became a part of metropolitan France and was considered a part of the state herself. When French paratroopers were deployed to destroy the FLN and uprisings across the city of Algiers in the ‘60s, the reasoning was that because they posed a threat to the…
Two Reasons You May Qualify for Workers' Compensation Workers' compensation is a form of insurance that allows workers to collect money after sustaining an injury that prevents them from working for a certain amount of time. Unfortunately, many workers mistakenly believe that the injury must be something traumatic like a broken bone, but there are many different types of injuries that can happen to you that may make you eligible for workers' compensation payments and time off from work as you…
Why men call each other king and what it means My male friends are some of the most important people that I know. They have seen my cry, held me when I’m crying, given me jobs, told me when my fly was down, checked in on me when I decided to ghost, let me know when I put too much vaseline on my face, supported me, given me space when I was wyling out, texted me when I’m anxious and talked me out of dumb decisions. But more than anything else, they have loved me and appreciated me. I don’t know…
We return to the red planet of Duna - a long time favorite destination for players of KSP. Government In thinking of government, one should consider who settles Duna. Corporations would be much more interested in developing the Mun, which has a stronger business case. As a result, some ambitious Kerbin governments, or a wealthy Elon Kerman might try their hand at colonizing Duna. With a government effort, I could imagine the settlement government resembling the colonizing government. On the…
The United States government, primarily State and local, play an integral role in the education system. States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, establish schools and colleges, develop curriculum, and determine requirements for enrollment and graduation. Of an estimated $1.5 trillion being spent nationwide on education at all levels for the school year 2011-2012, 87.7 percent of the funds will come from non-Federal sources. Thus, Federal contribution to…
