In the arena of international human rights, the United Nations came up with several declarations to protect the rights of humans. One of the declarations that Stone (2012) mentions is the 1969 International…

I think the voting age should remain at 18, for a few reasons. Among these are that older voters are more aware of the issues, younger voters barely if at all are interested in what is going on in the country, and at the age of 16, I don't believe people are mature enough to truly grasp the impact their vote can have in bringing about change. Older voters are most likely plugged in to the day to day issuses that effect the…

The Founder Fathers judiciously established the system of check and balances to avoid any of the three branches of government (legislative, executive, judicial) from having too much power. Checks and balances allows each branch to check up on each other, limiting their influence and power. When the new Constitution was written in 1787 the Founding Fathers did not wish to have a government system like the British, which the prime minister had the majority of power.

I think that there is a big difference between being a farmer and being a president. However, these jobs are both important in modern life. President’s life isn’t as easy as many people think. Of course, a president can’t make decisions on his own, his team always helps him, but he still feels pressure. He is responsible for the whole country, and it’s really hard to satisfy each citizen. Moreover, a president needs to travel around the world very often to negotiate or visit important meetings.…

Patrick Porter argues that the timing is right, based on four distinct trends, for policy leaders to examine the benefits and dilemmas of an alternate grand strategy. He proposes ideas for a new strategy that encourages varying levels of retrenchment and a willing acceptance of multipolarity. One of the trends, hegemony fatigue held by Americans, deserves further context by introducing additional political dilemmas. Appearing to abdicate American leadership under an increasingly polarized…

Should the voting age be lowered to 16? As the 2016 Presidential Election debate season comes to a close, many teens have been more involved than ever in their political views. Many leaders in today's government believe that the youth have a unique perspective and they’ll never have those experiences again.
