...process? In the words of Abraham Lincoln, the democratic government is one “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” The factions (parties or interest groups) contribute to the democratic process in that they use the theory of pluralism, and unite through shared interest to influence public policy. Because of the wide spread of power in our democratic government, these factions are capable of causing change only through the influence of a branch of the government, or through the people. Through the lens of the elitist theory, it could be viewed that certain factions have more pull because of their...

...communist government. The reason for the invasion was mainly due to “Prague Spring” – the period of great hope for the Czech people led by the reform movement against the hard-line policies of the Czech and Soviet governments. The main justification given by Soviet Premier Brezhnev regarding the attack was that the USSR, a communist nation itself, had an obligation to stop anything that poses a threat to established communism in any country. This came to be known as the “Brezhnev Doctrine”, and was seen as a clear warning to other eastern European countries. This example is one of many in history that has raised the issue of whether or not great nations are justified in exerting influence over the affairs of lesser states. The issue of whether or not great nations are justified in exerting influence over the affairs of lesser states is extremely complex. Some people believe that powerful nations are not only justified but obligated to play an important role in the affairs of states that do not measure up in status or power. The main reason being that these states do not have the capabilities to handle their domestic and foreign policies without external influence of some kind. Others believe that every nation has the sovereign right to formulate domestic and foreign policies without external influence. Both groups of people are right to an extent. I do not think that the power of a nation justifies their interference in the affairs of other countries unless they influence the country...

...religion has no intention of leaving the public sphere, on the contrary its intention is to take an effective role in the construction of the public space.” As time has progressed through the many ages of mankind there has been one constant, religious influence. The origin of religion is equated to the origin of civilization. The conflict of interest that has been ethically lingering throughout history is the issue of religion’s influence in Politics. In “Religion and the US Presidency: Politics, the Media, and Religious Identity,” Michelle A. Gonzales writes about how John F. Kennedy was worried about his faith and the Roman Catholic background because he feared the population would worry that the Vatican would have an influence in American politics. He then realized that a candidate’s religious background has a large impact on the credibility and support he or she will receive from the population. This has shown many leaders that people will support a political candidate who shares a familiarity with the general population and religion is the largest familiarity to have with the population. The influence of religion in the government has been solidified by the origin of the position of spiritual advisor in almost every government. The spiritual advisor’s task was characterized as that of a spiritual animator. He or she was charged with the responsibility of enabling member...

As China’s economy is rapidly growing and in other to acquire the needed resources to support its rapid growth, the government have taken a great step in focusing in other part of the world to secure oil which they deemed necessary coupled with other raw materials across the world. The rising economy of China was stated to have grown in an extraordinarily large number of nine (9) per cent per annum in the last twenty five (25) years whereas its consumption of energy has been said to have doubled to the extent that it outstripped the production of domestic energy. (Africa-practice report, 2007, p.2) Significantly, to catch up with the demand of its market, the economic powerhouse has channelled its attention to Africa. A continent widely known for its social and political unrest, though Chinese active involvement in Africa is a necessary mission in other for them to secure new export market for their manufactured goods, there are several strategic ways adopted by the Chinese government in their bilateral relation with African states; however, amongst the strategic ways is by significantly carrying out investment in the continent thereby...

...Why do liberals favour limited government and how they propose it be achieved? (45 marks) Classical Liberalism advocates what is called the ‘minimal state’, in this style of government the influence of the state upon society is kept to its absolute basic necessities. Namely the only public sector services available is an army – to prevent attack by a foreign nation, a police force to keep law and order, and an adjoining judicial system to pronounce judgement upon criminals who break laws. The state is seen as a ‘night watchman’ and exists only to preserve the liberties of civil society. This is seen by Classical Liberals as a society in which individuals are allowed the most possible freedom to the extent to which they do not interfere with any other person’s freedom as the ‘harm principle’, written by J.S Mill suggests. This form of freedom is known as ‘negative liberty’ or freedom ‘from’ any external constraints. According to Thomas Hobbes using negative liberty, "a free man is he that in those things which by his strength and wit he is able to do is not hindered to do what he hath the will to do". The opposite style of government to this is what is known as the ‘enabling state’. The government has increasing more influence upon the people and often establishes certain methods of welfare to ensure that all have an equal amount of opportunities or liberties. This can manifest itself in the form of institutions such as ‘free health care’ as was established in Britain in...

...Research Paper: How the Media Affects National Psyche Following the American Psychological Guidelines Name: Institution: Introduction National psychology refers to the idiosyncratic emotional character of specific states, cultural groups or immigrates. It is a common assumption that diverse cultural parties or individuals habiting a specific state, are commonly characterized by a unique mixture of human attitudes, principles, virtues and emotions. National psychology plays various imperative roles in the development of a country. For instance, from a political dimension, politicians will appeal to people using common national identity such as the “ Russian people.” Media may refer to tools that are required to store and deliver information in form of processed data to people. There are various types of media known to man. However, this paper focusses on the various means of communication that include televisions, newspapers, radios and magazines. This forms of communication are widely known for their ability to influence people’s views and opinions. Media plays a vital role in the influence of national psychology. The influence of media on national psychology has been under scrutiny for several years. Studies show that media can indeed affect psychology of an individual directly or indirectly. There are several theories that have been postulated to support this notion. One of the theories is media psychology. “Theories of psychology have been formed from synthesis of philosophy...

Most important, the subject to discuss is how the initiative influences local government and communities and recognize how this initiative was implemented at the agency using the personnel structure. The subject to discuss in this project is also to deliberate if privatization is a better alternative to carry out this initiative. Finally, I will present an organizational chart of the South Carolina Department of Social Services that displays the relationship between the state government’s structure with the local government’s structure, along with each component’s function and how privatization influences both state and local structures.
