Presidential Candidate Contrast: Ben Carson vs. Hillary Clinton “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”-John Quincy Adams. Electing the next president of the United States is one of the most important rights of each American Citizen, and one that should not be taken lightly. In order to make an informed decision it is imperative to research each candidate throroughly by using credible sources. It is also…

Revolution. It is a small word with different variations across languages that strikes fear into the minds of all leaders, from fascist dictators to democratically elected presidents alike. For such a powerful word, however, “revolution” has a bit of a paradoxical set of themes in its definitions. For those of us here on this pale blue dot, we imagine a wave of impoverished peasants taking arms and flooding the streets, tearing down fortresses as if they were a child’s sand castle built too…

The occupation of Iraq began March 20, 2003 to May 1, 2003 but even though the invasion barely lasted over a month the United States spent over $53 billion in 2003 and upwards of $800 billion in 2012 through reconstruction. With such a massive budget it would have been advised that the objectives and operation of its entirety be successful; however, this has not been the case. Even though Iraq was believed to have weapons of mass destruction following the attacks on the World Trade Centers on…

government and U.S. citizens. President George W. Bush and members of his administration decided it was time to reconsider government policies and organize a rally in national security efforts. This rally became known as the U.S. Global War on Terrorism. The policies utilized in this War on Terror manifested widespread controversy,…

Introduction In this essay I argue that, the Iraq war is not an act of United State’s illiberalism nor is it a product of the a sharply changed American foreign policy. But rather, an adoption of a long-existed political agenda that devoted to spread democratic values globally. I will begin by summarizing the three directions that have been reported by the scholars and thus how the American belief in democratic value unceasingly function as the substantial influence that feed and shaped the…

his policies on slavery; James Madison was called “little Jemmy” because he was short; John Tyler called “His Accidency (he became President after the death of William Henry Harrison; Nixon was called “Tricky Dicky”; Reagan was called a dunce; George W. Bush was called a chimp (Stone 2); however, the insults did not refer to their race, and their citizenship was never questioned. Not so for President Obama. The insults and disrespect directed at President Obama have gone beyond the slurs and…

Strategic drifts are related to the responses of an organisation, which are encountering changes due to the dynamic external environment. Unexpected challenges may arise at any point of time during the development of strategic changes within the organisations. Strategic drifts are those incidents for which the organisations fail to identify the expected strategic outcomes (Analoui & Karami, 2009). Strategic drifts force the management to lose its focus from actual strategic plans and…

The race for the presidency in the year 2000 was very controversial. Now after watching the movie Recount it is obvious that George W. Bush illegitimately won the election. Firstly, older voters were confused on how to fill out the ballot, which ended up in a significant amount of dimpled chad that were not counted by the machines, therefore robbing thousands of people of their right to vote for the president they wished to be in office, not to mention that it may have costed Gore the presidency…

votes that chose the next president and vice president. Of those votes, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes, 270 or more. One of the most famous cases of how the Electoral College works with the 2000 election between Al Gore and George W Bush. Gore won the popularity votes by far, but in the end, Bush was elected president because his electoral votes won 271-266. It’s an interesting process. The electors are not required to vote for their states popular vote, so you who individually…

There are many factors seen as threats to the United States’ welfare and democracy. More specifically, the expansion of presidential power has implications that are a threat to our democracy. The United States’ democracy is seen as a form of government in which all citizens participate equally—either directly or, through elected representatives. The founding fathers also incorporated John Locke’s idea that the duty of the government is to protect the natural rights—life, liberty, and property—of…
