The article “Iran and the Shah: What Really Happened” by James Perloff is biased as the article lacks coverage of the other side and how discontent they were. The author identifies the Shah to be a long-term ally of the United States explaining that while the Shah was in power, he made his country have a well established economic growth even though not everyone seemed to enjoy the growth, and he made women have the equal amount of rights as male citizens of Iran.

This shows that Reagan was naturally gifted…

Yes, I believe the Challenger disaster was a result of groupthink. There were many things presented in the brief reading above that leads me to think this.

A prime example of this is that Morton Thiokol management advised against the launch, but reversed their decision at the behest of their engineers. Another sing of groupthink is that the members are very concerned with reinforcing the…

Prominent Leader: Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan is by far one of the most charismatic leaders I’ve ever heard of. His charisma is clear in all of his speeches and so simple to understand. Rallying Americans across the United States to take a stand and keep government small and the people’s interests big.

In the passage, Thatcher begins with “ We [the American citizens and herself] have lost great president, a great American, and a great man”.…

“America's public enemy number one in the United States is drug abuse. In order to fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new, all-out offensive.” – Former President Richard Nixon. The impact a short speech can have on a cultured society is surprising where a man’s thoughts drastically changed people’s lives on a larger scale than any political policy or agenda in the past 40 years. Just 6 short months after his speech Nixon managed to sign his policy into law in January of 1972.…
