Peter Ediger was important to the Nevada test site because he was one of the founding committee members of the Pace e Bene which was a nonviolence service. His committee was in charge of fighting against the test site to try and stop the bombing going on. Ediger and three other people, Louis Vitale, Alain Richard, and Julia Occhiogrosso, started the committee in the mid-eighties and got groups of people together to shut down the Nevada test site. Ediger is a religious man, which many people were during that time. He main ideal was that God did not want the test site to do what it was doing because it was harming his followers. Before Ediger arrived on the scene there were some protest going on against the test site. These people were the citizens of Nevada who wanted to live in the desert in peace. They did not want to be radiated so close to their homes. When Ediger joined later on he wanted to make sure everything was organized against the test site, but they were still not taken seriously.

in keeping its position as the global supremacy. As a group, we spoke about how we saw power today playing out as more of a hard power, rather than soft. With countries growing and building, it is not as easy to use persuasion or compromise to resolve issues. Even Joseph S. Nye, Jr., in his article The Future of American Power: Dominance and Decline of Perspective, states that “power is the ability to attain the outcomes one wants, and the resources that produce it vary in different contexts”…

City-states of the ancient world were one of the first political entities with democratic governance. Part of the democratic process is authorizing individuals to make decisions, holding these individuals accountable, and for these individual to be responsive to the needs of the community (Pitkin, 1957). Today, cities have low levels of democratic participation that hold elected officials accountable and authorize them to have the power to make a decision. At the same time, a majority of the…

the User-Friendly Budget may not create further citizen engagement based upon the research. Research has shown that by studying the budget process in all 50 states, we ended up with a wide variety of requirements. The only similarity that appears through this study was that state governments are primarily only concerned with the first step of informing the public.

Riding With Staph “Let ‘er buck boys!” and the chute gate swung open and the beast blew outta there like Mr. Sweeney’s temper when he feels he is being ignored. He exploded into a series of spins and belly rolls. My thoughts were stuck on making the eight second ride, as if it were the only thing that mattered in the world. In great disappointment, I felt a quick pop and recognized that my hand has blown outta the handle on my rope. One, two, almost three more jumps I ride without anything to…
