Timeline voting rights activists (1)
Voting rights in the United States have expanded over time from only allowing wealthy, white, male property owners to vote to ultimately allowing all citizens aged 18 and older the right to vote regardless of race, sex, or wealth. Key events included granting white males without property the right to vote in 1856, the 15th amendment in 1870 giving African American men the right to vote but facing literacy tests as barriers, women gaining suffrage in 1920, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibiting literacy tests and lowering the voting age to 18 in 1971.
A solution for immigration fys
The document discusses immigration rates and statistics in the United States. As of 2011, there were 40.4 million foreign-born people living in the U.S, including 15.5 million naturalized citizens, 13.1 million legal permanent residents, and 11.1 million unauthorized immigrants. The author believes immigration can expand cultural diversity if illegal immigration is addressed properly. They propose a program where immigrants regularly update the government on their work and contributions to society to prove they deserve legal status.
Martin luther king in politic
Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for nonviolent protest against all forms of injustice and
oppression around the world. This included supporting the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa
and calling for economic sanctions against the apartheid regime. Similarly, King would have
supported the Palestinian struggle for freedom and equality, as Israel's treatment of Palestinians
amounts to injustice. To truly honor King's legacy, Israel needs to end its oppression of
Palestinians and work towards a just solution where both peoples can live as equals in peace
and harmony.
PRELUDE TO CIVIL WAR
First and second lectures for second year ISLN students in American history. The lectures focus on the economic political and social divide of the American nation in 1860-1865
human rights and security forces
Human rights are inherent to all humans, regardless of attributes, and include rights to life, liberty, freedom from slavery, and more. The UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. India's 1950 constitution secured justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all citizens and included fundamental rights like equality, freedom of religion, and constitutional remedies. While security forces have powers like arrest and search without warrant against anti-national elements, they must respect human rights and not use excessive force or detain people longer than necessary. There is a debate around balancing the human rights of civilians and security forces performing their duties.
Final Exam Essay
The document discusses Samuel Huntington's theory of a "multicivilizational system" consisting of three phases: separation of civilizations, Western dominance, and a revolt against the West leading to resurgence of other civilizations. It argues Huntington was correct by citing China's economic growth reducing US influence and the rise of ISIS countering Western influence in Iraq. It predicts China will become the dominant economic power, Russia the military power, and the US will lose power due to becoming a multicultural nation unable to present a unified front, while Islam and cultural conflicts increase tensions globally.
TWW #2 (Eng 102)2
The document provides background on Martin Luther King Jr. and summarizes his historic "I Have a Dream" speech delivered in 1963. It notes that King grew up in Atlanta, earned a doctorate in theology, and became a prominent leader in the civil rights movement fighting against racial segregation and discrimination. The speech was delivered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to a large integrated crowd seeking equal rights and liberties for Black Americans. In his speech, King addressed the hardships of the past but urged continued non-violent action until full equality was achieved. He envisioned a future where people would be judged based on character rather than skin color.
Migration and refugee presentation
The document discusses migration and refugees. It provides context on the definition of immigrants and refugees, noting refugees are forced to flee while immigrants choose to resettle. The origins and history of asylum and refugee crises are examined, including events in World Wars I and II that led to large population displacements. More recent events like the 2014 crisis of unaccompanied minors migrating to the US are also summarized. Causes of migration patterns within countries like China and the US are outlined.

Supply and Demand
Supply and demand have an inverse relationship, where if price is too high, surpluses occur and sellers drop prices with sales, but if price is too low, shortages happen with long lines. Price floors and ceilings, as with policies like rent control, minimum wage laws, and price controls in places like the Soviet Union and Venezuela, can ignore the rules of supply and demand, leading down a road to economic problems according to the document. The bottom line is that one cannot ignore basic supply and demand principles of economics without unintended consequences.
Introduction to Capitalism
This document provides an introduction to capitalism, including its history and key concepts. It discusses how earlier economic models like mercantilism and command economies were government-directed, while Adam Smith proposed letting individuals make their own financial decisions through a market economy. Smith argued this "invisible hand" of self-interest through banks, businesses, and markets meeting would increase a nation's wealth. Capitalism is then defined as the accumulation of wealth through capital, with banks taking capital and making it available to others through investment and interest rates, fueling long term economic growth.
Shutting Down the Federal Government
The document discusses the legislative process and divided government in the United States. It notes that the founding fathers designed a government with separation of powers between branches that would require negotiation and compromise. The legislative process produces bills, but consensus must be reached between Congress and the President for a bill to become law. This forces compromise through adversarial negotiations, which can result in government shutdowns if budgets are not passed. While not efficient, the system of federalism and divided government prevents tyranny through a system of checks and balances.
The Electoral College
The document discusses the Electoral College system for electing the U.S. President. It notes that citizens vote for electors from their state who then cast votes for President, with 270 electoral votes needed to win. The document raises the question of whether the system should be reformed by implementing a direct popular vote across all citizens instead of the current state-based Electoral College process.
Divided Government: Conflict and Consensus
The document discusses negotiations between branches of government in the United States. It notes that the legislative process produces legislation but divided government through separation of powers and adversarial political parties makes consensus difficult. Compromise is necessary but challenging to achieve in practice. When branches cannot agree on a budget, it can lead to a government shutdown. The system of federalism and divided government forces compromise through endless negotiations between leaders like the Speaker of the House and President.
Democrats and Republicans
This document summarizes the key differences between the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States. It outlines the core constituencies and beliefs of each party. Democrats believe in redistributing wealth through government programs and regulating personal behavior. Their coalition includes minorities, union members, feminists, and environmentalists. Republicans believe in limited government intervention in both economic and social spheres. They advocate for free market principles and personal responsibility. Their supporters include rural residents, veterans, and religious conservatives. The document also lists some general tendencies of each party on issues like spending, taxation, health care and gun control.
Euthanasia and Dying
This document discusses euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. It profiles Ramon Sanpedro, a Spanish man who became a quadriplegic at age 25 and fought for 29 years to legally end his life with assistance. It also profiles Jack Kevorkian, a doctor who performed over 130 physician-assisted suicides and was criticized by other doctors for not following guidelines. The document examines debates around autonomy at the end of life, medical responsibilities, and whether ending suffering constitutes murder or mercy.
My Approach to Gov and Econ Class
This document outlines the teacher's hopes and fears for teaching a 12th grade Government and Economics class. The teacher hopes to slow down discussions compared to AP US History and do more in-depth projects that are fun rather than pointless. However, the teacher fears having to act as a jailer to senior students who dislike school and may disrupt class with bathroom breaks, cell phones, etc.
Rise of the Robber Barons
This document discusses the rise of industry and robber barons in the late 19th century United States. It profiles several major industrial titans from this era, including Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and J.P. Morgan. These businessmen consolidated their industries and grew enormously wealthy, though their tactics like crushing competition were sometimes deemed unethical. Their successes revolutionized industry but also contributed to economic instability and a rising gap between rich and poor. Debates continued around balancing economic growth with democratic values and social justice.
Money and Happiness
This document discusses the difference between having enough money to live comfortably versus having excess wealth, and how having a meaningful vocation rather than just a job for money can lead to greater happiness. It presents opinions from Mr. Geib that encouraging people and ideas, rather than solely working for monetary gain, is important. A quote by Euripides is also included that divides citizens into three classes: the rich who want more, the poor who are envious, and the middle class who secure the state.
Banks and loans
This document discusses various topics related to banks, loans, and credit, including interest rates, credit scores, auto loans, payday loan services, credit cards, and the ethics of debt. It provides an example of an auto loan deal for someone with bad credit, noting the interest rate would be around 17.9% for a $16,000 car loan financed over 72 months. It also discusses the concept of "usury" and how views on lending money have changed historically.
The Legislative Process
Congress has the power to pass legislation and fund budgets by approving or rejecting bills through the legislative process. This process involves bills being considered by subcommittees and committees before possible compromise and approval from congressional leadership. Successful bills must navigate this process which can involve negotiating with interest groups that form iron triangles around issues.
Introduction to Congress
The document provides an overview of the structure and responsibilities of the United States Congress. It notes that Congress is made up of two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House has 435 members with two-year terms who must be at least 25 years old. The Senate has 100 members with six-year terms who must be at least 30 years old. Every ten years, congressional districts are redrawn based on population changes from the census, though this process can be politicized through gerrymandering. The House initiates spending and tax bills while the Senate confirms nominations and ratifies treaties. Certain requirements and limitations govern the legislative process and powers of Congress.
Roe v. Wade
Roe v. Wade was a 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide and established a woman's right to abortion under the 14th Amendment. Prior to this ruling, states had varying abortion laws and many women resorted to dangerous illegal "back alley abortions" with uneven access to medical services. Roe v. Wade determined that abortion is legal until viability at 24-28 weeks and superseded the patchwork of state laws. However, the decision divided public opinion and the country. Subsequent rulings like Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992 have upheld some state restrictions like waiting periods as long as they do not pose an "undue burden."
Abortion: Personhood
Mr. Richard Geib gave a presentation titled "PERSONHOOD" discussing at what point an unborn fetus qualifies for personhood and the rights associated with it. He notes there is a conflict between a woman's right to control her body and the state's interest in protecting life. The central question is when exactly in development from conception to birth does a fetus become a person. The presentation considers potential points such as 11 weeks and 6 days, 18 weeks and 6 days, 33 weeks, and seven minutes after birth, but concludes that determining when life and personhood begin is crucial but unclear, with various pregnancy terms and milestones to consider.
Abortion: The Complexities of Gray
This document discusses the complex issue of abortion and how most people fall somewhere in the middle rather than taking an extreme "pro-choice" or "pro-life" position. It notes that on complex issues there are often conflicting values and it is difficult to say if both sides can truly be "right." Most people feel ambivalence and recognize the complexity of the issue, taking a more moderate view in the middle rather than an absolute stance.
Abortion and Extremism
This document discusses the debate around abortion in America and the rise of extremism on both sides of the issue. It outlines the positions of radical feminists who see abortion as a woman's right to control her own body, as well as the forceful anti-abortion stance of the Catholic Church. More extreme anti-abortion groups have used violent tactics like bombings and assassinations, with one activist, Paul Hill, being sentenced to death for murdering an abortion provider and clinic escort. While the two sides have very different fundamental values, the practical effect has been fewer doctors training to provide abortions and fewer abortion clinics operating.
The Supreme and Judicial Interpretation
The document discusses the role and history of the Supreme Court of the United States. It notes that the Founding Fathers intentionally made judges semi-insulated from politics and that there are traditionally nine Supreme Court justices. It also discusses how Supreme Court rulings can change what is considered legal over time, through precedents like Brown v. Board of Education overturning Plessy v. Ferguson. The document examines debates around "judicial activism" versus "judicial restraint" and the pervasive influence of federal courts on areas like criminal law, civil liberties, and business law through cases such as Marbury v. Madison, McCullough v. Maryland, and United States v. Nixon.
To Be a Parent: It Is For the Committed
This document discusses different approaches to sex education in schools, including full sex education, abstinence-only education, and a middle ground approach. It notes that nearly half of women who have abortions did not use birth control, and over a quarter did not think they would get pregnant. Rates of teen pregnancy and STDs in the US are high compared to other developed countries. There is an ongoing debate around whether schools should distribute birth control and discuss relationships or take a more limited factual approach and leave broader discussions to parents.
Roe v. Wade: Reproductive Rights and American Law
This document summarizes the history and key Supreme Court decisions around abortion law in the United States, beginning with the legalization of abortion nationwide through the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. It discusses how prior to Roe v. Wade, abortion laws varied by state and many women sought dangerous illegal "back alley abortions". The document then outlines subsequent Supreme Court cases like Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992 and Gonzales v. Carhart in 2007 that upheld some abortion restrictions but did not overturn Roe v. Wade. It closes by noting the complex personal story of Norma McCorvey, the original "Jane Roe" in Roe v. Wade.
