General Government

The government of the United States has provided funding for many different projects around the world. The United Nations is an organization that had the best outcome to all the funds they have received from international aid. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) especially acquired greatest success. It is in the best interest of the United States to not only continue the funding for this organization but to increase it as well. The UNODC was established in the year 1997. It…

acquisition of knowledge, the needs of human life, necessity of freedom, inequality, the general will and the collective good outlined the beginning of civil society. It was from here that an understanding of the political society was built. Good government, sovereignty, and legitimate authority are the definitions upon which the modern state is built. Fundamental to our contemporary understanding of the modern government is the work of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jaques Rousseau. The…

Ancient Greece is an interesting case study on the roots of the concept of democracy. Ancient Greece was radically different than all other forms of government known at the time. It represents an interesting microcosm of unique historical factors and it produces some of the greatest and most time-honored thinkers of all time. Two of these philosophers were Plato (427 B.C.E- 347 B.C.E) and Aristotle (384 B.C.E- 322 B.C.E). Both of these theorists were among the greatest political thinkers of…

Imagine a world wanting to go forward, but only going backwards. A world where the government regulates its citizens to make sure that they are “equal” and of average standard, where if anyone dares to be above average, handicaps are forced upon them. This is the world of Harrison Bergeron, a world of dystopia, but in the meantime, will this also be the fate of America? Equality is the state of being equal in status, rights, and opportunities. Although equality is strived for everywhere in…

A balance between Democracy and Efficiency was the ideal government system; however, Parliament favored the efficient system more if the government manages to gain control of both the House of Representatives and Congress. Democracy is basically a government that is all about the people and for the people. For instance, in a democracy, the society has a voice on choosing what principles of a rule or law that…

An individual almost cannot exist outside government in the society of modern day, meaning that government plays a large part in the lives of the vast majority of people. But what should the government do for the people, and what should the people do for the government? This question stretches to ancient times, when people would rule for the sake of being of “sacred blood”, a monarchy, a king would rule over a land and the people would do whatever the king said, simply because he was the “king”.…

from reality; however, the control of government to preserve equality and politically correct self-esteem often stifles an individual’s creativity which further creates identity struggles as people attempt to balance their need to be a part of a community with their need to be self-aware. In both HB and Today’s society, people would find out that the government is controlling how they live and outweighing the desire of themselves. In other words, the government knows they got it under control.…

the situation has worsened even more. The article “Stripped of their powers, Venezuelan lawmakers charge Maduro with a ‘coup’” by Nick Miroff explains the recent events in Venezuela about a possible coup due. This is caused by the denial of the government to the lawmakers themselves to exercise their work (among other things). Therefore, let's say that that was the “drop that spilled the cup”. I could say that the main reason for which I was attracted to this topic is because I am Venezuelan.…

There have been many dictators in the world. Some examples of some past dictators include names such as: Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong-Un, and Joseph Stalin. A dictatorship is a type of government where one person, or leader, has complete control over the entire country that they are ruling over. That ruler has control of everything that any citizen can or cannot do. Such as: what they can say about that leader, what they can do for a living, and how well they are treated or how poorly they are treated…

The United States of American was founded on July 4, 1776 by the hard-work of the founding fathers and other revolutionaries. The country was established under the idea of democracy. Democracy is a form of government in which the citizens are the root of power. There are forty-five presidents in history and each of them has contributed to the United States in many ways. John F. Kennedy was United States’ 35th president and was probably one of the most debatable presidents in history. A careful…
