The government has many functions it needs to perform to keep the peace and order through their respective nations. In my opinion the most important function of government in my opinion is to promote general welfare. I say this because without general welfare a lot of people will not have another chance at the american dream. There are pros and cons to this people take advantage of it and then you have the people that do not. I truly believe in the quote “expect the unexpected” because you may…

"We the Students Do you think that the federal, state, and local government should have the duty to monitor internet content? I think that it could go both ways. If the government could see and monitor our internet content then it could save lives and stop people from doing wrong things. For example, if someone was texting their friend saying goodbye like they were going to commit suicide then the government could stop them in time. But also, if they government could monitor what we do, we…

Native inhabitants of the island of Madagascar are called Malagasy. The island is called “Madagasikara” in the Malagasy language. Eighty percent of the country is living in poverty. Only eighteen percent of schools have access to drinking water, and only thirty percent have toilets. Forty percent of Malagasy children suffer from malnutrition (Life in Madagascar). Children of this country often live with other relatives as they grow up. Children are taught what to do, and what not to do, by the…

To assure our country's freedom, the government should be able to spy on its citizens. This is absolutely not right! Always being watched by the government becomes fear not freedom.Also there are plenty of ways for the government to ensure freedom without spying on citizens. On top of that freedom means the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without restraint. Spying on the citizens is taking that away from them.If the government does not trust its people then they need to find…

• • Devolution is a process in which state activity and improvement is primarily dictated by the individual state through the lessening of federal input on state activities. In the case of welfare, the states have been provided a means for independence from federal dictation through the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act of 1996. This welfare block grant provides states with funds that are generalized and therefore flexible to the differing problems in each…

One of the topics I am interested in writing about in my research paper is the concept of surveillance and how people are constantly watching others in order to keep control of them. The ideas I plan to talk about are how different characters are being watched by others and how they react to the feeling of a person always watching them. A quote that relates to the how people are being watched is, “The trust is that she is my spy, as I am hers. If either of us slips through the net because of…

The absence of government is more desirable than oppressive government, because it is much more difficult to truly live underneath an oppressive government than it is to start from scratch in a new, unorganized situation where you have more freedom. While it is somewhat unnerving to live in a circumstance with no government, and while no situation is void of issues and problems, a fulness of freedom would be present and the issues would be fixed much easier and quicker than in a despotic…

The flaws in a system are not always noticeable until they are viewed from the perspective of another system. In Terry Gilliam’s 1985 film, Brazil, the Ministry of Information exercises authority over the public through surveillance, strict procedures, and the collection of confidential information. These may sound like typical operations of a government department until one discovers the flawed means by which they are carried out. Franz Kafka’s short story, “A Hunger Artist” allows one to…

The American Government so strong in its power protects its land by creating a safe and secure nation. However, with security comes a strong enforcement policy. The government watches over its citizens as if the government were a hawk stalking its prey. After all, they are the ones who give infants a social security number, a number of which they are depicted by until they take their very last breath. The Government has a tendency to grasp bulk information about the “numbered” residents who…

Thank you Brandon and permit me to clarify some of your interpretations. You say,” “Your primary arguments seem to be that IOs do not have the strength to thwart actions conducted by other states and non-state actors, such as terrorists, and that IOs cannot exist in a multipolar world. Is this essentially correct?” My primary argument is, “The questionable successes of past international institutes are less effective in a new multipolar world, if they remain based on Cold War principles and…
