United States Secretary of Labor

thinks another considers itself superior in some way, regardless of which races are being compared. Ridiculous is the best word for it, as history proves this is a natural disaster in and of itself. If you look back in time, to the birth of the United States, you find a story of white supremacy. English and Spaniards came to America and ultimately used their own entitlements…

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, also known as OSHA, is a government agency that is part of the United States Department of Labor. The mission of the agency is to “assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education, and assistance” (“About OSHA”). Its purpose is to minimize injuries, illnesses, and deaths in the American workplace by protecting workers from dangerous conditions…

The Space Race between The USSR and The United States of America during the Cold War allowed the two countries to assert their dominance over one another. However, The US has not always had the goal of defeating the Soviets/Russians in outer space. The United States Space Program has changed in size, budget, and goals since the beginning of space exploration. Rockets as we know them today began in the mid-1930s in Great Britain as a means of anti-aircraft protection. However, Germany made…

It is fair to say that in the United States today there is a very clear division between the working class and the social elite. There are some who have it all, while there are some who are just scraping to get by, and in the middle are those who are working just to make enough to live a comfortable life. According to the film, Inequality For All it focuses on former Labor Secretary, Robert Reich and his push to wake America up and see that the gap between the rich and the poor is continuing to…

1920’s. The recent end of World War I and the Russian revolutions, along with various other communist revolutions around the world helped promote their paranoia. This paranoia led to those in power at the time taking advantage of the people’s frantic state and exploiting their rights and freedoms. They did this simply to further their own agenda, even though many claimed otherwise. They knew that there was no real, sizable threat to the US so they used the situation to their advantage. Many…

process that America knows all too well. Over the course of America’s history we have declared war 11 times; some for understandable reasons while other reasons are questionable. This was evident in the wars of 1898 and 1899. In April of 1898 the United States declared war on Spain over the treatment of Cuban citizens. From that war evolved the Filipino-American War that was declared in February of 1899. The Filipino-American War resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people;…

This election the nominees for the two main political parties for the presidency are Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party and Donald Trump for the Republican Party. Being a Democrat, I believe that Hillary Clinton as the best fit for the United States President for the next four years. That being said, Clinton has many incredible solutions to fix some of the problems in America, ranging from a fair tax system to expanding women’s rights and opportunities. Not only is Clinton bringing…

I chose Franklin D. Roosevelt because he was a central figure in world events during the 20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic depression and total war. His New Deal involved the great expansion of the role of the federal government in the economy. In the state election of 1910, Roosevelt ran for the New York State Senate from the district around Hyde Park in Dutchess County. The local party chose him as a paper candidate because his Republican cousin…

present day society as a means of distinguishing between the two opposing arguments. Nevertheless, there is one issue that Secretary Hillary Clinton and Mr. Donald J. Trump agree on: income inequality is a titanic issue in the United States of America. Despite agreeing on the problem, Clinton and Trump provide several different solutions that are as opposite as white and black. In a state of indecision, we must look towards eastern philosophy in order…

Afghanistan. Because the Taliban is a radical Sunni Islamic group, they do not believe in or support the belief of church and state. Extremist groups such as the Taliban impose every aspect of religion to be the law and way of life. According…
