Essay about Extreme Political Polarization
Extreme Political Polarization
The political climate today is increasingly becoming more turbulent as Republicans and Democrats volley for superiority in Washington. The two
parties are becoming more polarized by the hour, and this is affecting the ability of the government to move forward and pass legislation and continue
to improve America. The Senate is in a state of gridlock on some of the most important issues to the people of the United States to date, and yet the
senators which the people elected are instead caught up in fighting the people on the other side of the aisle. They should be listening to what their
constituents need and want. Today Republican senators are using filibusters, scare tactics, and even entire news networks...show more content...
The blocking of legislation is nothing new to the Republican party. According to the article Why Washington's Tied Up in Knots, Republicans have
been blocking legislation since the late nineteen sixties, where they blocked a little less than ten percent of major legislation using the filibuster tactic.
The filibuster was a rare thing to behold, on average only occurring once every ten years, until during Bill Clinton's term in which nearly fifty eight
filibusters had been enacted by the Republican party. The number of filibusters has nearly doubled in just the past year alone, with a whopping one
thirty eight filibusters (United States Senate), all instigated by the Republican party to block as many of President Barack Obama's initiatives as
possible, including the delay and possible destruction of the all important health care bill. Filibustering is not the only tactic that has been used to
polarize politics in government today. Propaganda is also one of the more widely used tools by today's politicians. Propaganda can take many forms,
and often uses every type of media to perpetuate stereotypes, fear mongering, and slant the story, often making the task of finding the truth increasingly
difficult. Traditionally used in magazines and print media, propaganda often took the forms of humorous cartoons, with symbolic illustrations and

Examples Of Political Reform
"I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws, and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these
are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, not court can save it" (Judge Learned Hand,
uen.org). In other words, one should not depend on these constitutions to make the changes they wish to see. In history, there have been numerous
examples of political reform and change, but, in many cases, it was possible because an individual or group of people believed in something so
strongly that they did everything in their power to initiate a transformation in society. Some tactics used were very successful, while others weren't

In the early 1900s, New York was home to a large number of factories whose workforce was made up primarily of young immigrant women helping to
support their families. The working conditions were catastrophic, their wages were approximately two dollars a day and the workday was at minimum
14–hours. The factory conditions and employee wages caused workers from all around the city to protest and participate in strikes. Unfortunately,
the protests and strikes often led to violent retribution from employers, which was a common method to suppress the reformers. For example, Clara
Lemlich, a very influential individual during this time, was beat up by a man named Charlie Rose for her offense of leading a massive strike. Many
rights that the employees were fighting for would have never come to fruition if it hadn't been for the tragic triangle factory fire, which brought to
light the horrid working conditions and resulted in over 30 laws being passed. Comparatively to the strikes held by the employees of these large
companies, in the fall of 1968, students and faculty of San Francisco State University participated in a strike that made national news. The reasoning
behind this strike was that off–campus students were experiencing discrimination based on culture and ethnicity, and no ethnic programs were available
to the students on campus. The police suppressed the reformers by

Examples Of Political Correctness
Political correctness is frequently satirised as a construct of a heavily censored society. However, it is not essentially censorship, where it is the public
or institutions censoring the language. Instead, politically correct language is essentially self–censoring, as it is concerned more with the mechanisms
of the thought process and trying to change them. This is done by the encouragement of use of certain lexemes, the creation of neologisms and finally,
the semantic shift in various lexical items. Through the use of these methods, politically correct language achieves its goal of being contextually
inoffensive. Pushes toward certain lexemes being adopted or dropped from one's idiolect by lobby groups only succeed if accepted by each individual

Various groups have been known to 'reclaim' words from their dysphemistic connotations to become their preferred word of reference (cf queer). A
currently ongoing example of this is the 'SlutWalk', provoked by a comment by a Toronto policeman who called a schoolgirl a slut for dressing
skimpily, despite knowing it was politically incorrect. The organisers around the world of 'SlutWalk' are trying to reclaim the word 'slut' be removing
the connotations of an 'easy' woman. According to Ruth Wajnryb in her book Language most foul, this movement can "raise public consciousness
about the offensivess of negatively loaded words, which hitherto had only been registered as such by women." Conversely, phrases created to gloss
over politically incorrect terms or taboos are also subject to semantic shift. A majority of politically correct language is of euphemistic origin, however
have the possibility of becoming tainted as stated by the Allan–Burridge Law of Semantic Change: bad connotations drive out good ones. When this
occurs, it is up to users of these phrases to find synonymic expressions because, as previously stated, it is through self–censoring that political
correctness occurs. Semantic shifts in politically correct language are due to changing taboos but the lexemes themselves are ultimately chosen by each

Political Institutions Essay
Political institutions have been around since nearly all human societies were organized tribally. Over time they have developed into various
organizational features and eventually taken the shape they do today. They have proven to be fundamental in virtually all societies worldwide and by
being so omnipresent we often take these institutions for granted and do not realize how vital they are for our society. Moreover, because they are so
important and play such a big part in our society, there is a major purpose to compare them between time and place. Therefore, this paper will first
elaborate on explanations for political institutions and through that process come up with a working definition. Furthermore, it will explain why political

Political institutions have been developed by human beings throughout history to generate order and diminish insecurity (North, 1991) One of the main
explanations to why they create order is because by influencing the way entities interact in politics, these political institutions significantly affect the
potentials for individuals and groups to resolve collective problems and identify shared interest (Weir, 1992; Moe, 2005; Johnson, 2001). One
apparent example is how parties create political alliances and in some cases governmental coalitions. Therefore, political institutions are vital as they
stabilize and structure interactions (Hall 1986; Przeworski, 2004), and by being forces of stability also offer predictability (Hague & Harrop,
2010). Furthermore, Moe (2005) claims that political institutions essentially exist and are significant because they make people better off. Whereas
North (1981; 1990) and Minier (2001) do not fully share this opinion and rather contend that in order to benefit everyone in society and also for the
economy to grow rulers have to adopt the correct political institutions. Thus, in order to find what the "correct" political institutions might be, there is
an intrinsic motivation to compare these between time and place.
To be able to comprehend the bigger picture of political power it is crucial to understand how political institutions work and in order

Examples Of Political Socialization
Political socialization is something that goes unnoticed for a while until you realize what your political views are and why they are that way.
Political Socialization can be defined as the lifelong process by which people form their ideas about politics and acquire political values. This
process can be influenced by several factors such as what our peers think and what see on the news. These factors will shape an individual's set of
political attitudes and form opinions about social issues. Political ideology is a certain set of ethical ideals, principles, doctrines, myths or symbols of
a social movement, institution, class or large group that explains how society should work, and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a...show

The school I attend has students and staff members are from all over the world and have many different religions. Despite the diversity in my
school, our political views are quite similar especially due to our geographical position in the U.S. where this region is mostly democratic. Last
year in my history class when the 2016 presidential election was going on, my teacher hated Donald Trump with a passion. He felt that he was not
suitable to be the U.S. president and that Hilary Clinton would've been an exceptional president if she was elected. My school is in Elizabeth, New
Jersey and it is considered a relatively low income state so we receive a lot of federal funding so our city can function and has everything it needs.
Donald Trump wanted to cut federal spending to schools because it was putting the country in an "unredeemable" debt but without federal funding, the
well–being of schools in Elizabeth would cease to exist. School has greatly informed me on what is going on in our world today and has shaped my
political views to what they are. The media is a source of information that all U.S. citizens have access to. Either they have a cell phone, a computer,
or a television, everyone can get information from the media. Mass media have been considered a powerful agent of political socialization, affecting
political attitudes and behaviors of voters and non–voters. Newspaper and television news use significantly predicted internal

Essay on Power and Politics
Introduction Have you ever wondered what role politics and power play in organizations? When used effectively they can be compatible in reaching
the organizations goals. Power is defined as the ability to get someone to do something you want done or the ability to make things happen in the way
you want them. (Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn, Chap. 15). Power is important within organizations because it is the way in which management
influences individuals to make things happen. When power and influence combine, most of the time "politics" become involved in some manner which
may pose some problems. Organizational politics is best described as management influenced by self–interest through the use of means not necessarily

Information can be controlled to a "need to know" basis and/or just limited to the upper management. This type of power compliments the legitimate
power. Finally, there is Representative power in which an organization uses an individual to be there spokesperson both within the organization and
when dealing with people outside of the organization. The second source of power that influences individuals and organizations behaviors is known as
Personal Power. This power focuses more on the individual's independent nature within the position that he or she has been placed. There are three
sources under this power that are apparent in most organizations that are well managed. The first is expert power in which control is based on the
knowledge or experience that the individual possesses in the position that he or she holds. Rational persuasion is the power to control behavior by
being able to show the desirable out comes through reasonable and acceptable means within an organization. With the diverse personalities within an
organization it is essential to have management that is levelheaded and rational. The final basis of control within personal power is referent power. It is
controlling an individual's behavior within an organization by allowing them to identify with the source of power that is over them.

Cal–trans provides a wonderful freeway system for southern Californians to get as far as Los Angeles and back in time for dinner. Without such

As a conservative, I still feel that the social class of the individual greatly affects the political ideology that they have chosen. I have analyzed, that
the education of the individual has a great deal of affect on the political party of their choice. Most liberals are only against conservatives due to

determining the political party or political ideology of our choice; therefore education is one of the leading issues many Americans feel strongly about

Essay about Defining Politics
Defining Politics Politics is the collective name given to many different systems, ideas and real world issues. It is impossible to define politics as any
one thing in particular, but as a label for many different aspects of life encompassed into one.
Politics is largely about decision making, Politicians dispute on a regular basis about pending decisions to be made. Decisions to be made, of course
vary in size and some are obviously much more important than others. Nevertheless, politics nearly always sets–out to make decisions in the best ways
irrespective of how big or small they may be. Groups of...show more content...
Politics strives to reduce this conflict and keep it to a minimum. Politics is responsible for taking all views into consideration and reaching a consensus
– something all people involved can agree on to a certain extent.
Politics also goes hand in hand with the concept of power. Power, in any form of politics is of utmost importance, without power, politicians
wouldn't be able to enforce rulings on a population. Power concerns being able to get others to do/act as other people would like them to. Power can
be enforced in a number of different ways, power, of course cannot be assumed unless the people with power have something strong to back up their
rulings. Sometimes, force is used to provoke obedience (coercion), while a legitimate government will often not need to resort to means of force.
People are likely to comply with the law simply because they believe the government to be making the correct decisions. Coercion and legitimacy work
in tandem to maintain obedience.
Politics concerns people, people's involvement in politics is key in running an efficient political system. Voting is possibly the most important aspect of
political activity. Elections are held in which people vote for their preferred political party, while referendums also play a key part in making major
political decisions. Political involvement doesn't stop with voting. Pressure Groups can be joined in

Essay about Political Socialization
Political Socialization
Political socialization begins early on in life and is an ongoing process affecting individuals throughout. It is how people eventually identify personal
beliefs and expectations in American politics. These political views can include our level of patriotism, faith in the democratic system, standards by
which we hold governing bodies, and opinions regarding public policies. From the playground to the classroom, the office to the dinner table, much of
our lives affect our political opinions. The most easily identified agents of this are family, schooling, peers, mass media, political parties and religious
influences. Furthermore, these means indoctrinate us in the political society through four basic...show more content...
As one matures, a certain peer groups reinforce beliefs. Elisabeth Noelle–Neumann, in her book Spiral of Silence, explains individuals inherently fear
social isolation from peers and are apprehensive of speaking out against group ideas (Patterson 161).
Religion appeals to one's sense of affective socialization by encouraging puritan values and morals supported by the church. The highly inviolable issue
of abortion parleys condemnation by the Catholic Church against the advocating for women's rights by pro–choice groups. Catholics, while the
strongest advocates, do not stand alone on this issue, as many religions preach abortion is the murder of a child. By relating a medical procedure to
murder, people are emotionally affected, and instead of thinking rationally, resort to emotions to defend their stance.
Schools are another important faction in delivering affective socialization, but also deliver instrumental socialization to America's youth. Elementary
classroom instruction is generally where children receive their first concrete lessons on the American political system. Teachers perform the important
civic duty of instructing young Americans in political history, general laws and rights, and patriotism. Take for example the Pledge of Allegiance,
recited across the nation in elementary classrooms.

approach when it is in means of foreign policy and international issues. It is known as "realpolitik" and emphasis that the most important actor in global
politics is the state, which pursues self–interests, security, and growing power (Ray and Kaarbo 3). Realists generally suggest that interstate

The declining use of military force is the questionable aspect of this perspective because throughout the years it has been demonstrated that this is not
true. Military engagements in the nations states continue to be a problem and a violation to the state's sovereignty established by the Peace of
Westphalia in 1648. Although both of these theoretical perspectives have their flaws, they can both be used to analyze current issues of today, thus
establishing different interpretations for the same events, such as the oil crisis, global warming, and the most recent issue the occupy movements. To
begin with, one of the issues in today's society that has remained a dilemma for many years has been the oil crisis. The oil crisis is the problems where
the major industrial countries of the world, particularly the United States, faced substantial shortages of petroleum. As mentioned in Maxine's
presentation in my Pols–311 class, the two worst crises of oil have been the 1973 oil crisis, caused by the Arab Oil Embargo of OAPEC, and the 1979
energy crisis, caused by the Iranian Revolution. The issue of the oil crisis has lead many nations to seek petroleum by violating states sovereignty and
using the military in many occasions to do so. It has also lead nations like the United States to military support monarchies and dictatorships that would

U.S. Constitution has several fundamental principles and each one of them works in the American political system. Limited government is a principle

Finally, a new system of government was created to replace the Articles of Confederation. The addition to the bill of rights was accepted by the
Constitution proponents due to Antifederalist criticisms, but it was because of the vision of the Federalist that succeeded. The framework that was
created in 1789 was from the adopted Constitution, this was for a powerful national government that defended the nation's interests, promoted its
commerce, and maintained national unity (Ginsberg, Lowi, Weir & Tolbert, 2015, pg. 63). The system of internal balances and checks has worked
well in preventing the government from controlling its citizens, and this is how the Federalist pictured it to be. It is very hard to develop a government
that is stable and compatible with liberty, equality and democracy. Government is a formal institution where a land and its people are ruled (Ginsberg,

In 1997, New Labour capitalised on the number of women who were elected, establishing the impression that the party is 'female friendly'. The
Conservative party is also aiming to recruit more women and ethnic minority candidates in time for the upcoming general election in May 2005. It
has also given higher platforms to those women already elected: Several years ago, Theresa May was appointed as party chairman. Not only by
modernising themselves to represent current populations in Britain, parties also modernise themselves by generating new ideas for changing times.
The labour party is the most famous for adapting its policies and ideology. Labour changed its name to 'New Labour' under the leadership of Tony Blair
in 1997, to reflect these radical changes. At this time Labour chose to adapt its policies, and lose a lot of its socialist values. Under 'Old Labour' state
ownership was held under high regard. But after Thatcher's privatisation of state businesses, Labour acknowledged that it would be dangerous to
radically reform businesses and bring them back under state ownership, thus they modernised their policies adapting them to the New Britain, by
sticking to privatisation which had been warmly received. This promotes democracy, as policies are adapted to suit the electorate, rather than parties

It is very important to be aware of what is going on in the world however sometimes reading can be a better source or information than watching

code. I am fortunate to have been given the freedom to develop my own social and political views. Having political guidance from family is
important but being told that only one particular political belief system is infallible is not the ideal way to educate. My parents have always preached

individual to work no more than 39 hours a week. If this was no law however Tesco's might not have a rota to keep track of who and how many
hours they are working during a week. However the individual can work more than 39 hours if they do over time. It can also influence how many
people they take on with this statute because the less hours someone works the

Essay About Extreme Political Polarization

  • 1. Essay about Extreme Political Polarization Extreme Political Polarization The political climate today is increasingly becoming more turbulent as Republicans and Democrats volley for superiority in Washington. The two parties are becoming more polarized by the hour, and this is affecting the ability of the government to move forward and pass legislation and continue to improve America. The Senate is in a state of gridlock on some of the most important issues to the people of the United States to date, and yet the senators which the people elected are instead caught up in fighting the people on the other side of the aisle. They should be listening to what their constituents need and want. Today Republican senators are using filibusters, scare tactics, and even entire news networks...show more content... The blocking of legislation is nothing new to the Republican party. According to the article Why Washington's Tied Up in Knots, Republicans have been blocking legislation since the late nineteen sixties, where they blocked a little less than ten percent of major legislation using the filibuster tactic. The filibuster was a rare thing to behold, on average only occurring once every ten years, until during Bill Clinton's term in which nearly fifty eight filibusters had been enacted by the Republican party. The number of filibusters has nearly doubled in just the past year alone, with a whopping one thirty eight filibusters (United States Senate), all instigated by the Republican party to block as many of President Barack Obama's initiatives as possible, including the delay and possible destruction of the all important health care bill. Filibustering is not the only tactic that has been used to polarize politics in government today. Propaganda is also one of the more widely used tools by today's politicians. Propaganda can take many forms, and often uses every type of media to perpetuate stereotypes, fear mongering, and slant the story, often making the task of finding the truth increasingly difficult. Traditionally used in magazines and print media, propaganda often took the forms of humorous cartoons, with symbolic illustrations and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Examples Of Political Reform "I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws, and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, not court can save it" (Judge Learned Hand, uen.org). In other words, one should not depend on these constitutions to make the changes they wish to see. In history, there have been numerous examples of political reform and change, but, in many cases, it was possible because an individual or group of people believed in something so strongly that they did everything in their power to initiate a transformation in society. Some tactics used were very successful, while others weren't quite as...show more content... In the early 1900s, New York was home to a large number of factories whose workforce was made up primarily of young immigrant women helping to support their families. The working conditions were catastrophic, their wages were approximately two dollars a day and the workday was at minimum 14–hours. The factory conditions and employee wages caused workers from all around the city to protest and participate in strikes. Unfortunately, the protests and strikes often led to violent retribution from employers, which was a common method to suppress the reformers. For example, Clara Lemlich, a very influential individual during this time, was beat up by a man named Charlie Rose for her offense of leading a massive strike. Many rights that the employees were fighting for would have never come to fruition if it hadn't been for the tragic triangle factory fire, which brought to light the horrid working conditions and resulted in over 30 laws being passed. Comparatively to the strikes held by the employees of these large companies, in the fall of 1968, students and faculty of San Francisco State University participated in a strike that made national news. The reasoning behind this strike was that off–campus students were experiencing discrimination based on culture and ethnicity, and no ethnic programs were available to the students on campus. The police suppressed the reformers by Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Examples Of Political Correctness Political correctness is frequently satirised as a construct of a heavily censored society. However, it is not essentially censorship, where it is the public or institutions censoring the language. Instead, politically correct language is essentially self–censoring, as it is concerned more with the mechanisms of the thought process and trying to change them. This is done by the encouragement of use of certain lexemes, the creation of neologisms and finally, the semantic shift in various lexical items. Through the use of these methods, politically correct language achieves its goal of being contextually inoffensive. Pushes toward certain lexemes being adopted or dropped from one's idiolect by lobby groups only succeed if accepted by each individual ...show more content... Various groups have been known to 'reclaim' words from their dysphemistic connotations to become their preferred word of reference (cf queer). A currently ongoing example of this is the 'SlutWalk', provoked by a comment by a Toronto policeman who called a schoolgirl a slut for dressing skimpily, despite knowing it was politically incorrect. The organisers around the world of 'SlutWalk' are trying to reclaim the word 'slut' be removing the connotations of an 'easy' woman. According to Ruth Wajnryb in her book Language most foul, this movement can "raise public consciousness about the offensivess of negatively loaded words, which hitherto had only been registered as such by women." Conversely, phrases created to gloss over politically incorrect terms or taboos are also subject to semantic shift. A majority of politically correct language is of euphemistic origin, however have the possibility of becoming tainted as stated by the Allan–Burridge Law of Semantic Change: bad connotations drive out good ones. When this occurs, it is up to users of these phrases to find synonymic expressions because, as previously stated, it is through self–censoring that political correctness occurs. Semantic shifts in politically correct language are due to changing taboos but the lexemes themselves are ultimately chosen by each user of the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Political Institutions Essay Political institutions have been around since nearly all human societies were organized tribally. Over time they have developed into various organizational features and eventually taken the shape they do today. They have proven to be fundamental in virtually all societies worldwide and by being so omnipresent we often take these institutions for granted and do not realize how vital they are for our society. Moreover, because they are so important and play such a big part in our society, there is a major purpose to compare them between time and place. Therefore, this paper will first elaborate on explanations for political institutions and through that process come up with a working definition. Furthermore, it will explain why political ...show more content... Political institutions have been developed by human beings throughout history to generate order and diminish insecurity (North, 1991) One of the main explanations to why they create order is because by influencing the way entities interact in politics, these political institutions significantly affect the potentials for individuals and groups to resolve collective problems and identify shared interest (Weir, 1992; Moe, 2005; Johnson, 2001). One apparent example is how parties create political alliances and in some cases governmental coalitions. Therefore, political institutions are vital as they stabilize and structure interactions (Hall 1986; Przeworski, 2004), and by being forces of stability also offer predictability (Hague & Harrop, 2010). Furthermore, Moe (2005) claims that political institutions essentially exist and are significant because they make people better off. Whereas North (1981; 1990) and Minier (2001) do not fully share this opinion and rather contend that in order to benefit everyone in society and also for the economy to grow rulers have to adopt the correct political institutions. Thus, in order to find what the "correct" political institutions might be, there is an intrinsic motivation to compare these between time and place. To be able to comprehend the bigger picture of political power it is crucial to understand how political institutions work and in order Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Examples Of Political Socialization Political socialization is something that goes unnoticed for a while until you realize what your political views are and why they are that way. Political Socialization can be defined as the lifelong process by which people form their ideas about politics and acquire political values. This process can be influenced by several factors such as what our peers think and what see on the news. These factors will shape an individual's set of political attitudes and form opinions about social issues. Political ideology is a certain set of ethical ideals, principles, doctrines, myths or symbols of a social movement, institution, class or large group that explains how society should work, and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a...show more content... The school I attend has students and staff members are from all over the world and have many different religions. Despite the diversity in my school, our political views are quite similar especially due to our geographical position in the U.S. where this region is mostly democratic. Last year in my history class when the 2016 presidential election was going on, my teacher hated Donald Trump with a passion. He felt that he was not suitable to be the U.S. president and that Hilary Clinton would've been an exceptional president if she was elected. My school is in Elizabeth, New Jersey and it is considered a relatively low income state so we receive a lot of federal funding so our city can function and has everything it needs. Donald Trump wanted to cut federal spending to schools because it was putting the country in an "unredeemable" debt but without federal funding, the well–being of schools in Elizabeth would cease to exist. School has greatly informed me on what is going on in our world today and has shaped my political views to what they are. The media is a source of information that all U.S. citizens have access to. Either they have a cell phone, a computer, or a television, everyone can get information from the media. Mass media have been considered a powerful agent of political socialization, affecting political attitudes and behaviors of voters and non–voters. Newspaper and television news use significantly predicted internal Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Reflection Paper On Politics Throughout this politics course, I can confidently say that I have learn much in the sense of what issues are realistic and how these issues are handled within the government. Within each topic discussed, I believe all were current and had beneficiary gain to have knowledge about them. In this reflection paper, I will be going chapter to chapter stating what has stuck with in detail, as this course is coming to an end. To start, In chapter one, Professor Chandler challenged our class with a question stated as "Do you believe government order is necessary?" or something along those lines. As I was able to review my thoughts on this questions, I stated "yes" and that was because I instinct believe that was correct. Before this class, I ...show more content... In the year of 2014–15, about 57% of students received finical aid dollars being undergraduates. Along with, learning about America intergovernmental system and finding out that United States has over 89,000 local governments. To me, that is a high number. I never understood why so many local officials were needed all over our country, but know I understand do. Without these local officials being available throughout our communities, local issues could take much longer to come to agreement without their help. For example, the Flint Water Crisis was not able to gain the attention of the federal government, until commutation came within the state and local government. Further, Chapter 4 was my most knowledgeable chapter from this course. I gained much insight in political socialization and the media. Before learning about political socialization, I would have said that I were to be blind on how much effect ones family, school, community, peers, and media had. For example, as I do not like to judge people without personally knowing them, I never realized how many people from my culture or similar background have the same poetical opinion on things such as them races they believe to be "bad". My culture has been improving within years, though it is difficult to progress with many of them have close–minded thoughts. Another topic learning about that was a eye opener is on behalf of media, called the Federal Communications Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Essay on Power and Politics Introduction Have you ever wondered what role politics and power play in organizations? When used effectively they can be compatible in reaching the organizations goals. Power is defined as the ability to get someone to do something you want done or the ability to make things happen in the way you want them. (Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn, Chap. 15). Power is important within organizations because it is the way in which management influences individuals to make things happen. When power and influence combine, most of the time "politics" become involved in some manner which may pose some problems. Organizational politics is best described as management influenced by self–interest through the use of means not necessarily ...show more content... Information can be controlled to a "need to know" basis and/or just limited to the upper management. This type of power compliments the legitimate power. Finally, there is Representative power in which an organization uses an individual to be there spokesperson both within the organization and when dealing with people outside of the organization. The second source of power that influences individuals and organizations behaviors is known as Personal Power. This power focuses more on the individual's independent nature within the position that he or she has been placed. There are three sources under this power that are apparent in most organizations that are well managed. The first is expert power in which control is based on the knowledge or experience that the individual possesses in the position that he or she holds. Rational persuasion is the power to control behavior by being able to show the desirable out comes through reasonable and acceptable means within an organization. With the diverse personalities within an organization it is essential to have management that is levelheaded and rational. The final basis of control within personal power is referent power. It is controlling an individual's behavior within an organization by allowing them to identify with the source of power that is over them.

The environment around us has a powerful influence on the decisions that we produce and the views that we as American citizens choose to hold. After a semester in political science class my views and my political ideology have altered. Today I will explain how political science class has influenced my political ideology. When this class initially began I was sure, without a doubt I was a conservative. As the semester progressed I discovered the reasons I was considered conservative. The town a person grows up in, financial status, social class, age, gender and the race of the individual have a strong influence on a individuals...show more content... Cal–trans provides a wonderful freeway system for southern Californians to get as far as Los Angeles and back in time for dinner. Without such wonderful freeway systems and highway systems, the economy of California would most likely not be as good as it is right now. Unfortunately I still feel the American people are not ready to vote for the taxes we all pay. The government is doing a descent job with our taxes; however with changes in the social programs the American peoples taxes can be considerably lowered. As a conservative, I still feel that the social class of the individual greatly affects the political ideology that they have chosen. I have analyzed, that the education of the individual has a great deal of affect on the political party of their choice.

It is impossible to define politics as any one thing in particular, but as a label for many different aspects of life encompassed into one. Politics is largely about decision making, Politicians dispute on a regular basis about pending decisions to be made. Decisions to be made, of course vary in size and some are obviously much more important than others.

Politics strives to reduce this conflict and keep it to a minimum. Politics is responsible for taking all views into consideration and reaching a consensus – something all people involved can agree on to a certain extent. Politics also goes hand in hand with the concept of power. Power, in any form of politics is of utmost importance, without power, politicians wouldn't be able to enforce rulings on a population. Power concerns being able to get others to do/act as other people would like them to. Power can be enforced in a number of different ways, power, of course cannot be assumed unless the people with power have something strong to back up their rulings. Sometimes, force is used to provoke obedience (coercion), while a legitimate government will often not need to resort to means of force. People are likely to comply with the law simply because they believe the government to be making the correct decisions. Coercion and legitimacy work in tandem to maintain obedience. Politics concerns people, people's involvement in politics is key in running an efficient political system. Voting is possibly the most important aspect of political activity. Elections are held in which people vote for their preferred political party, while referendums also play a key part in making major political decisions.

  • 11. Essay about Political Socialization Political Socialization Political socialization begins early on in life and is an ongoing process affecting individuals throughout. It is how people eventually identify personal beliefs and expectations in American politics. These political views can include our level of patriotism, faith in the democratic system, standards by which we hold governing bodies, and opinions regarding public policies. From the playground to the classroom, the office to the dinner table, much of our lives affect our political opinions. The most easily identified agents of this are family, schooling, peers, mass media, political parties and religious influences. Furthermore, these means indoctrinate us in the political society through four basic...show more content... As one matures, a certain peer groups reinforce beliefs. Elisabeth Noelle–Neumann, in her book Spiral of Silence, explains individuals inherently fear social isolation from peers and are apprehensive of speaking out against group ideas (Patterson 161). Religion appeals to one's sense of affective socialization by encouraging puritan values and morals supported by the church. The highly inviolable issue of abortion parleys condemnation by the Catholic Church against the advocating for women's rights by pro–choice groups. Catholics, while the strongest advocates, do not stand alone on this issue, as many religions preach abortion is the murder of a child. By relating a medical procedure to murder, people are emotionally affected, and instead of thinking rationally, resort to emotions to defend their stance. Schools are another important faction in delivering affective socialization, but also deliver instrumental socialization to America's youth. Elementary classroom instruction is generally where children receive their first concrete lessons on the American political system. Teachers perform the important civic duty of instructing young Americans in political history, general laws and rights, and patriotism. Take for example the Pledge of Allegiance, recited across the nation in elementary classrooms. Day–in and day–out, children are ingrained with a Get more content on HelpWriting.net

These assumptions can be classified into various known theoretical perspectives; the most dominant is political realism. Political realism is the most common theoretical approach when it is in means of foreign policy and international issues. It is known as "realpolitik" and emphasis that the most important actor in global politics is the state, which pursues self–interests, security, and growing power (Ray and Kaarbo 3). Realists generally suggest that interstate cooperation is severely limited by each state's need to guarantee its own security in a global condition of anarchy.

The declining use of military force is the questionable aspect of this perspective because throughout the years it has been demonstrated that this is not true. Military engagements in the nations states continue to be a problem and a violation to the state's sovereignty established by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Although both of these theoretical perspectives have their flaws, they can both be used to analyze current issues of today, thus establishing different interpretations for the same events, such as the oil crisis, global warming, and the most recent issue the occupy movements. To begin with, one of the issues in today's society that has remained a dilemma for many years has been the oil crisis. The oil crisis is the problems where the major industrial countries of the world, particularly the United States, faced substantial shortages of petroleum. As mentioned in Maxine's presentation in my Pols–311 class, the two worst crises of oil have been the 1973 oil crisis, caused by the Arab Oil Embargo of OAPEC, and the 1979 energy crisis, caused by the Iranian Revolution. The issue of the oil crisis has lead many nations to seek petroleum by violating states sovereignty and using the military in many occasions to do so. It has also lead nations like the United States to military support monarchies and dictatorships that would allow the United States to Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The addition to the bill of rights was accepted by the Constitution proponents due to Antifederalist criticisms, but it was because of the vision of the Federalist that succeeded. The framework that was created in 1789 was from the adopted Constitution, this was for a powerful national government that defended the nation's interests, promoted its commerce, and maintained national unity (Ginsberg, Lowi, Weir & Tolbert, 2015, pg. 63). The system of internal balances and checks has worked well in preventing the government from controlling its citizens, and this is how the Federalist pictured it to be. It is very hard to develop a government that is stable and compatible with liberty, equality and democracy.

In 1997, New Labour capitalised on the number of women who were elected, establishing the impression that the party is 'female friendly'. The Conservative party is also aiming to recruit more women and ethnic minority candidates in time for the upcoming general election in May 2005. It has also given higher platforms to those women already elected: Several years ago, Theresa May was appointed as party chairman. Not only by modernising themselves to represent current populations in Britain, parties also modernise themselves by generating new ideas for changing times. The labour party is the most famous for adapting its policies and ideology. Labour changed its name to 'New Labour' under the leadership of Tony Blair in 1997, to reflect these radical changes. At this time Labour chose to adapt its policies, and lose a lot of its socialist values. Under 'Old Labour' state ownership was held under high regard. But after Thatcher's privatisation of state businesses, Labour acknowledged that it would be dangerous to radically reform businesses and bring them back under state ownership, thus they modernised their policies adapting them to the New Britain, by sticking to privatisation which had been warmly received.
