Overcoming Fear Why do others feel afraid while others fear nothing? There was a moment in the in early morning of November 19, 1863 that Abraham Lincoln never felt so weak. He was staying at a lodge in Gettysburg and was getting ready to deliver his speech to the crowd to dedicate to the new Gettysburg memorial. He woke up with a severe headache and felt he had a fever coming on, felt nervous about delivering his speech, and felt that it wouldn’t properly honor the soldiers who died fighting in…

The 2016 presidential election is fast approaching, and as I write this it is official that the presidency will be between the Republican nominee Donald J. Trump, and the Democratic nominee Hillary R. Clinton. It wasn’t quite simple for me to choose between the two nominees. Hence, I doubt that neither of them are creditable enough to serve the country. Most likely the majority of Americans will speculate that they do not have a preference between the two candidates. Nevertheless, I evaluated…

The Electoral College was a system outlined in the United States’ constitution by the founding fathers, as the method in which they believe the president should be elected.

Bush’s 2004 presidential campaign ad “Tested” employed ethos with his message “Steady Leadership in Times of Change” implying that he was stable and trustworthy during the disastrous events that took place under his administration ,such as September 11th an event that would go on to change how voters viewed foreign and domestic affairs for years to come; meanwhile, John Kerry’s campaign ad “Optimists” would have successfully captured the vote of American voters because of his pathos…

To be an effective leader we need to understand our own style of leadership. My leadership style is transformational. A transformational leader is enthusiastic, innovative, charismatic, and serves as a mentor for subordinates (Deluga & Sauza, 1991). In this essay will discuss how characteristics of transformational can be applied in my workplace. I am surprised to find my assessment in this style, I feel that I my leadership style is procedural yet the results show I’m quite the opposite.…

An election, seen by the majority as the true symbol of a democratic country, is nothing more than an act that endows the people with the right for choosing who will be their leaders (Sidlow and Henschen). This right is expressed through a vote. This action constitutes the basis of any democracy around the world.

Divide and Conquer: Partisanship Government Partisanship polarization is not a new concept to American politics. The Founding Fathers were divided on the philosophies of federal government between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. American politics saw a decline of partisan politics during the 1950s and 1960s, however there was a resurgence in the late 1970s that has yet to cease (Brewer, 2005, p. 219). While the political elite have been divided along partisan lines, the results of their…
