How soon can we get our management team into place over there in Italy and phase out their current staff? I’ve heard how slow and inefficient Italian businesses are, and I don’t want to waste time getting our company’s policies in action. Maybe we can get a head start on the European competition with good old American know-how. It’s not going to be that easy, Dave. I think it might be a mistake to send our people.

...University of Phoenix Detecting Media Bia HUM/114 The reported story of President Obama abandoning his campaign in Florida to deal with the state officials along the Atlantic Coast in wake of Hurricane Sandy was not clear but seems to be accurate. The information that was given from MSN.com did not seem to have enough depth. The story was short, but it seemed to lack what steps other than generators, food and water will be provided if needed. The areas that are currently being affected are areas that have public transportation. The families that relies on the city or state transportation system, what are they to do if they can’t evacuate? What safe havens are to be provided if any? The concerns of the President to worry about the people of his country, compared to just trying to win a consecutive term in office is very important. President Obama wanted everyone in the area to be safe and evacuate. The story did not address if the President was going to try and campaign after the storm, or if the concern of election weighed on him during this time. The news article did not express and further views from the world. No other perspectives were given in the story. The President assumed that this will be a long process to have these states up and running once the hurricane hits land. It has also been assumed “close coordination” amongst the government leaders that safety and security measures are in place after the storm passes over. The questionable assumptions that...

Even if we should wish to recover that older world we can do it only by an intensive study of the ways in which the media have swallowed it. -Marshall McLuhan (Sontag, 1977) Introduction ‘2012’- a film by Ronald Emmerich Hollywood's reigning king of catastrophe (Kois, November 13, 2009), came into public on 13th November 2009 with a view to making the audience experience the end of the world.

...Imagine yourself being the president of the United States of America. Do you want to be in those shoes? What traits do you see a good president having? In today’s society having this job isn’t going to be easy. This is the job for me because I’m a good leader, I’m honest, and I’m well organized. Vote me for president! First, I’m a good leader. A leader must be strong-minded, understanding, patient, and focused. Having a president with great leadership is what everyone wants for our society today. As a leader it is difficult to please everyone, you need to know how to guide and inspire people just like you might at your work. It also comes with negative effects that can discourage everyone. As has been the caption for the volleyball team for years, I can relate that everyone isn’t going to agree or even think the same, but if you show them and prove to them they will start respecting you more than what they did. Being a leader you will learn to listen and deal with the negatives. When voting for president choose someone with confidence and who can lead our country....

...Did you know that a president resigned because he was scared of being impeached? This happened in the court case of the United States vs Nixon when President Richard Nixon resigned because of his paranoia of being impeached from his scandalous behavior. After the court case of the United States vs Nixon, there was a decrease in the executive privilege because Nixon greatly abused his authority. So how was the Supreme Court put into action? It was all thanks to the Constitutional Convention. The Constitutional Convention was a meeting with fifty-five delegates from twelve out of thirteen colonies to make a government and rules that suited all the colonies. This took place between May 27th and September 17th, 1780 in Philadelphia. There was...

...Anatasia Manesis Ms. Connolly Government April 11, 2013 1. Democrat a. I feel that President Bush took a foot instead of an inch when he sent troops to Iraq after the 9/11 incident. The war led to a great amount of debt which did not need to happen and the losing the lives of our citizens. I think that the war lasted for too long which just had more problems Obama had to fix when he went into office. b. I feel like people’s perspective of Bush’s presidency affected how Obama was viewed when he went into office because people had already had no hope for the American govt. Obama’s approach to the national debt was handled greatly with the new reforms he made- for example the health care laws he tried to put into effect. c. The power of the President has definitely changed. I think that with changing times the president should stay up to date especially with keeping his presidency more modern than what it used to be. 2. Democrat a. It is hard to say whether or not the president has too much power or not because people do not truly know what it’s like to be president until they can actually experience it. I think that as the leader of our nation, Obama is under a lot of stress. We cannot forget that he is trying to fix a country that was basically ruined and it is going to take time for those changes to take action. b. With all these problems happening with North Korea, I feel that Obama should have more authority. I feel like the citizens of this...

...Presidential Elections and Voters In order for one to become president of the United States, he or she must gain the votes from the public. There are various ways of getting votes. Nominees go through months of campaigning to get the votes necessary to win the state. Some believe that the public makes the decision for president long before the campaigns even start, and others believe that the campaigns are necessary to gain votes for a president. A campaign in itself is not necessary to influence the public's decision. The focus is not whether the campaign has the influential power to change people's opinion, but the focus is on the actual individual who is voting. The individual has the power to choose whether to let the campaign influence his or her opinion or to make the decision before the campaign. There are both cases when the individual makes a decision for president before the campaign starts and when the individual makes a decision for president because of the influence of the campaign. Campaigns do matter in a democratic society and they are important to a certain extent for those who actually follow the campaigns, but they are not as important for everyone. Not anyone can just run for president. There are certain qualifications that a person must have to become president. He or she must prove the nation that he or she is able to lead a nation. The, " qualities of the candidate are extremely important influences on how people vote" (Fiorina and Peterson 302). Campaigns are...

...that the electoral college should be abolished or is it a good idea. The electoral college is a good thing because it gives everyone the right to vote and it helps to elect the president of the United States. I am going to use document A which is the electoral votes and the states that have the most votes. Then I will use document C which talks about the way the electoral college is and how it helps pick the leader for the United States. Then use document E which is how the electoral college should not be a thing and how it takes so long to figure out the president or who it will be as the next leader. Then last document F talks about how the electoral college and how the electoral college is unfair to smaller states. So the states that are bigger like california that has 55 electoral votes is unfair because is you take a state like wyoming that has 3 votes then they have less say. The two...
