Political Advertising During 2013 Elections
A final year Bachelor Business Administration (Majors: Marketing) thesis researched and written to gauge the progressive trends concerning the art of campaigning during the Election Campaign of 2013 compared to 2009 Elections, through the electronic medium and the future potential of campaigning to woo the public into voting for the respective political party via political communication.
The Impact of Communication Technology on Politics
The document discusses how political campaigns have historically utilized new communication technologies to engage voters and influence public opinion. It provides examples such as William Hearst using newspapers in 1898, FDR using radio for his "Fireside Chats" in the 1930s-40s, the first televised presidential debates between JFK and Nixon in 1960, and Obama's successful use of social media and the internet in his 2008 campaign. While Obama was not the first to use these new technologies, he adapted them uniquely to spread his message and brand in a way that captured voters, particularly younger generations. The implications are that winners in new media will be those who both participate in emerging technologies but also figure out how to make them work effectively for their specific

The document also summarizes presidential powers, checks on powers, and traditions like the State of the Union address.
First Ladies
This document discusses the roles and contributions of First Ladies throughout history. It lists both traditional roles like hosting events at the White House, promoting charities, and accompanying the President, as well as non-traditional roles like advising the President, lobbying for causes, and taking moral stands. It notes that Jacqueline Kennedy worked as a journalist prior to marrying John F. Kennedy. The document asks the reader to consider what the most important role for a First Lady is, if any roles are inappropriate, and how roles may differ if the country has its first female president.
Federal Bureaucracy
The federal bureaucracy carries out the day-to-day work of the government as the nation's largest employer, with over 2.7 million employees managing tasks like mail delivery, regulating businesses, collecting taxes, and overseeing national forests. While it provides hierarchical authority, job specialization and formalized rules, the bureaucracy also faces criticisms of being inefficient, wasteful, and overly bureaucratic. The Executive Office of the President oversees executive departments like State, Defense, Justice and others, as well as independent agencies like NASA, Social Security Administration and the Federal Election Commission that operate outside the traditional department structure.
Vice President And Succession
The document discusses the evolving role of the Vice President of the United States. It notes that traditionally the Vice President was seen as an insignificant role, but over time the office has taken on more responsibilities. It highlights that Richard Nixon was influential in expanding the Vice President's role to include presiding over Cabinet meetings and temporarily assuming executive powers. The 25th Amendment further formalized procedures for replacing a president who is unable to serve. The document poses questions about qualifications for presidential succession.
Impeachment
Andrew Johnson, in addition to Bill Clinton, is the only U.S. president to be impeached. The impeachment process is outlined in the U.S. Constitution and allows for certain federal officials, including the president and vice president, to be charged with "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" by the House of Representatives. If impeached, the official is then tried in the Senate where a two-thirds majority vote is required for conviction and removal from office. The document proceeds to describe the impeachment processes of Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson.
presidential roles
This document outlines the topics and objectives for a unit on the American presidency. It will cover the roles and responsibilities of the president, including serving as head of state, chief executive, commander-in-chief, chief diplomat, and others. The unit will also discuss inaugural addresses and state of the union speeches, the growth of executive powers, impeachment, and other related topics. Students will learn about the qualifications to be president, term limits, salaries, and more through readings, discussions, and a vocabulary game.
Economic Stimulus Package
The document discusses the economic stimulus package passed by the US government in response to the recession. It provided both tax cuts and increased government spending, as Democrats favored more spending on infrastructure and industries while Republicans preferred broader tax cuts. The $787 billion package included $70 billion in tax cuts and the rest in new spending. Most economists believe the stimulus would create the most jobs in 2010. The document asks the reader for their opinion on what, if anything, the government should do to improve the economy.
Credit And Bankruptcy
- Credit cards allow you to borrow money and make purchases now while paying it back later. However, carrying a balance and paying interest long-term is costly. It's best to only charge what you can pay off each month to avoid interest charges.
- Your credit score reflects how reliably you pay your debts back and determines the interest rates you'll receive on loans. Factors like on-time payments and credit utilization are considered.
- Bankruptcy is an option for eliminating debt through legal proceedings, but it severely damages your credit for years and certain types of debts cannot be discharged this way. Chapter 7 involves liquidating assets while Chapter 13 sets up a repayment plan over 3-5 years.
Investing
The document discusses various investment options including stocks, bonds, index funds, and retirement accounts. It provides an overview of key concepts such as how companies raise capital by selling stock, how index funds work, the purpose of bonds, and tax benefits of retirement accounts. The main takeaway message is that the stock market offers investment opportunities, index funds are a good way to invest in stocks, bonds provide relative security, and higher risk investments offer higher potential returns.
Product Placement
Product placement involves inserting brand name products into media content so that they appear naturally within the story or environment. While this hidden advertising can influence viewers' opinions of the products, companies argue it is a less intrusive form of advertising than pop-up ads or subscription cards. Some key examples of product placement include placements in movies like Wayne's World and James Bond films.
Budgets
1) A budget is a plan for how to spend your money by setting limits in different spending categories and sticking to them.
2) There are key reasons to make a budget - to know where your money is going, ensure expenses are less than income, and identify problem spending areas.
3) To make a budget, track expenses to estimate categories, create a template to list income/expenses, analyze results, and adjust expenses as needed. Spreadsheets or cash envelopes can help track budget categories.

6 Market Economy
The document discusses key concepts of a market economy including how markets allocate scarce resources, utility and preferences, and how prices transmit information.

The pillars of free enterprise like private property, specialization, voluntary exchange and the price system are also summarized.
4 Supply
Supply refers to the quantity of a good or service that producers are willing and able to offer for sale at different prices over a set period of time. The law of supply states that, all else being equal, as price increases, quantity supplied increases and vice versa.

Factors that can change the supply curve include changes in marginal costs of production, changes in the number of producers, and changes in producer expectations.

The document then explores factors that can influence demand, including price, income levels, availability of substitutes and complements, weather, population changes, tastes and preferences, expectations, and more. Examples are provided to illustrate how changes in these factors can shift a demand curve or change the quantity demanded through the price effect.
2 Scarcity, Opportunity Cost, Trade Offs, & Ppc
The document discusses key economic concepts like scarcity, opportunity cost, and trade-offs. It explains that scarcity means the inability to satisfy all wants, and opportunity cost refers to the best alternative given up when making a choice. Several questions are also posed about applying these concepts, such as what the opportunity cost is of spending time studying different subjects or what resources might be scarce for a factory owner.
