...was , in 1864. )Abraham Lincoln was an outstanding president, and he achieved great things while he was in office. Lincoln was elected as president during one of the toughest times in U.S. history, the Civil War. Under the circumstances, Lincoln was able to form a Reconstruction plan to unite the Union and the Confederate States. (Mikael. You need to have a Thesis Statement in your intro that is the basis for the entire rest of your essay, as well as briefly introduce your 3 major points that will support your thesis statement in your intro. ) One route history could have taken if Abraham Lincoln hadn’t been shot would be that his plan for Reconstruction worked. The North and South would agree to terms and sort out their differences. It would be a give and take relationship between the two sides. Lincoln’s plan would have worked more quickly and efficiently than Jackson’s (Andrew Johnson’s)plan. With Lincoln as president, the South wouldn’t have been treated as bad as they had been. It may not have...

...strategy - benchmarking Definition Benchmarking is the process of identifying "best practice" in relation to both products (including) and the processes by which those products are created and delivered. The search for "best practice" can taker place both inside a particular industry, and also in other industries (for example - are there lessons to be learned from other industries?). The objective of benchmarking is to understand and evaluate the current position of a business or organisation in relation to "best practice" and to identify areas and means of performance improvement. The Benchmarking Process Benchmarking involves looking outward (outside a particular business, organisation, industry, region or country) to examine how others achieve their performance levels and to understand the processes they use. In this way benchmarking helps explain the processes behind excellent performance. When the lessons learnt from a benchmarking exercise are applied appropriately, they facilitate improved performance in critical functions within an organisation or in key areas of the business environment. Application of benchmarking involves four key steps: (1) Understand in detail existing business processes (2) Analyse the business processes of others (3) Compare own business performance with that of others analysed (4) Implement the steps necessary to close the performance gap Benchmarking should not be considered a one-off exercise. To be effective, it must become an ongoing...

...Neither of my parents ever went to college, but that did not stop them from wanting the best for my siblings and I. Growing up they have always taught the importance of education. That is probably the main reason I both love and excel in school. In school I have taken every honors class available and done well in each one. I have only received mostly A’s while not ever having a grade lower than a B. I will graduate this May in the top ten percent of my class with a GPA above 4.0.

Intro: * The UN was established at the end of ww2 * Its main purpose: maintaining international peace and security * Un charter: refers to the needs and interests of peoples * The UN remains to be relevant however it tends to be flawed in many ways possible Although there are many flaws to the UN, it remains to be relevant due to the crucial consolidating role it played in, promotion and development of public international law, defence of the universality of human rights, dissemination of new ideas about peace and security, advocacy of plans against poverty, protection of the environment, protects 22m refugees and hosts to 7,500 meetings a year in Geneva alone. Although we do have political order since the presence of the UN, such political order might not be good because due to its flaws, the UN’s unstable trust and legitimacy is what keeps Yes we do have political order, but that might not be good because trust and legitimacy is what keeps the institution moving on the path all states can depend on.

Intro This essay intends to discuss the mechanisms by which sports and politics are inextricably linked.

...United Nations | Intro to Political Science GOVT 2304-23404 Spring 2016 (INET) Word count:729 | Edgar Calvillo | Every year hundreds of young women start the process to pursue their long lived dream of becoming Miss USA. The majority of America watches, even if they deny doing so. During the interviewing segment the candidates are asked “How to solve world peace”. Not to take away from their effort, but it takes much more than a short and well-rehearsed statement along with a pretty smile. The true efforts of world peace lie in the hands of The United Nations, UN. The UN is the world’s second attempt to have a united front to obtain world peace after the failure of the League of Nations. To identify the United Nations true success we must look at what they have attempted. We must not overshadow the good and fair attempts with the failure that have come up. The job these individuals from all around the world have been chosen for is not one to take lightly. Their efforts should be praised but not overlooked. We live in the world where the unexpected is to be expected. For this reason we have certain people put in place to protect are needs. There are 196 delegates from 26 countries who are entrusted to maintain order and peace in our world. The UN was established in 1945 in efforts to keep peace after World War II. This international organization helps us in many ways. The United Nations is involved with political, economic, and human right activities...

...Gun Control Hypothesis Paper By Christopher Fields Intro to Sociology Prof. Hennington Outline Hypothesis/ opening statement My opinions Love-hate relationship Crime rates Democrat Opinion Republican Opinion Evidence 1 Evidence 2 Evidence 3 Closing statement References After recent school shootings in America, the American people are starting to wonder when is the government going to stricken the gun control laws. After recent studies I will tell you which party republican or democrat is for the stricken the laws and which of them is not. Personally, I feel like you should be judged by your actions. If your criminal background portrays you as violent you should not be allowed to have a gun. On the other hand, if your have never shown any act of violence you should be allowed to have a gun. Crimes such as fraud, drug possession, and other mediocre crimes should not count. Everyone deserves the right to protect themselves, their family or even a stranger. If gun control laws are stricken gun violence will decrease. I’m going to prove this by using the Social Conflict approach which is a macro-oriented paradigm in sociology that views society as an arena of inequality that generates conflict and social change. Guns have a love-hate relationship with society some people fear guns and some people feel safe around guns. Most people fear guns because people think that they are going to get shot and killed for no reason. While others use guns for safety which is...

...Civilization, Written Assignment 3 Intro: The Republic of Rome was not composed of one sole roman people, they were subdivided into two classes known as the patricians and plebeians. Despite living in close proximity, these two groups were put into separate social strata. Although both classes had rights, the patricians did not share the full rights of the people with their neighbors the plebeians. The economics and political differences became so great that eventually lead to a revolt by the plebeians within Rome. Body: In Ancient Rome, the patricians were the wealthy landowners who lived within the city and had their properties work by slaves. These men were composed of the aristocrats, noblemen and upper ruling class in Rome. The plebeian class consequently was made up of the commoners and other free Romans such as the farmers, merchants, architects and artisans. Despite the fact that quite a few of the plebeians had a abundance of wealth, they were still considered lower class and could not join the upper echelons of the ruling powers. The Roman nation during this time was going through a uprising, as they became increasingly intolerant of their tyrannical kings. In a act of this rebellious sentiment, the patricians and plebeians worked together to rid themselves of the monarchies. After disposing of the monarchs in Rome, they began to assemble new politics, created voting assemblies and instituted laws, such as Valerian Laws, that condemned those trying to become...

...Angel L. Mason Week 4 Application Intro to Public Administration Since the time of Max Weber and his sociological research on bureaucracy during the Pre-World War I era, public administration has played a major role in the ever shifting relationship between the individual and the community. This altered our essential concepts of the public and private monarchy within social life during the twentieth century. In the twenty-first century, the contemporary liberal democratic impulse towards both an unfettered individualism and a strong restricted civic community or culture has developed major challenges to Weber’s ‘modern’ approach to public administration. From former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s declaration that “the era of big government is over” in 1995, to recent proclamations within international theories of a new world order cemented by a ‘global’ civil society, ‘bureaucracy’, as the foundation of the contemporary nation-state, has been challenged on a theoretical and practical level. It is from this exemplar that democratic administration theory has largely emerged. Responding to the new challenges of traditional bureaucracy and their subsequent ‘hollowing out of the State’ as an effective institution, democratic administration theory has attempted to construct a new basis of administrative rule in which both the ‘expert’ and ‘client’ becomes leveled in their discourse through democratic and even radical reform of the administrative process itself. ...

...I. Intro When voting day arrives, you stand in line, the poll workers check your identification, you vote, and within 10 minutes, you are done. But what happens when you are in a wheel chair and you arrive to your polling location but the voting booth is too high to reach and you can’t fit. Or your manually and visually impaired and have no one to help you fill out your ballot. II. Question With all the state and federal laws in place –including the American’s with Disabilities Act, there are polling places still not making the proper accommodations for people with disabilities. So you might wonder now, has anything been done to ensure all polling locations are updated to fit the needs of all people with disabilities? III. History The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 and is a federal law which prohibits voting discrimination based on color, race, or membership in a language minority group (http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Voting+Rights+Act+of+1965). The act prohibits the states and their political parties from imposing voting qualifications or perquisites from voting that deny them the right to vote. Furthermore, 40 years later and people with disabilities are still being discriminated against around the time of elections. Some people even question if individuals with disabilities are able to vote and understand what they are voting for. Studies have shown that people with disabilities are interested in government and public affairs (http://www.accessiblesociety...

...consider all aspects such as, social, culture, technology, economic and political. Globalization has mainly impacted foreign policy, but it has also had an effect on domestic policies. Both policies are not only influenced by globalization, there are various other factors that contribute to the formation of public policies. Often times it can prove difficult to separate the effects that impact both forms of public policy because they are intertwined. Need thesis statement – what are you arguing or exploring in this paper. Also, should there be definitions in your intro? Maybe consider breaking the intro into 2 paragraphs.

...In this era of the new and social media, does it really matter who owns the `mainstream’ media? “It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.” (Clemens, 1897) Foreword According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights written up by the United Nations, its states that, “Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people” (UN, 1948). Articles 19 to 21 specifically target the freedom of thought, conscience and belief of human rights that a Democratic government must abide by and Egypt is no exception. Arab Spring Turmoil has been brewing in Egypt, causing great pain to its inhabitants, destroying homes and families and creating complete mayhem in the process. The first marked incident according to The Guardian is on the 1st of January 2011; a suicide bombing attempt took place outside a Coptic Church in Alexandria. By the 25th of January Egypt finally joined the Arab Spring alongside Tunisia, Yemen and Algeria.
