...Case Study #3 The Democrat and the Dictator Jazmyn D. Mitchell Chamberlain College of Nursing For our Week 3 online lesson, we were assigned to learn about the rise of charismatic leaders of the 1930s who dramatically changed the world (CCN, 2016). The two leaders I learned most about where Franklin D. Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler. According to Week 3 online lesson, “Franklin D. Roosevelt was a practical politician with charismatic qualities who provided leadership during the Great Depression” (CCN, 2016). He was considered or labeled as being a dominant leader figure to the people of the United States preceding World War II (CCN, 2016). “During his first week in office, he called a special session of Congress, declared a bank holiday, sponsored an Emergency Banking Act, and held his first fireside chat” (CCN, 2016). In accordance to Week 3 online lesson, he promised the American people a “New Deal” for America, which consisted of relief, recovery, and reform (CCN, 2016). FDR promised to provide jobs for the unemployed, protect farmers from foreclosure, conserve farmlands, rebuild the economy, abolish child labor, and regulate banks (CCN, 2016). According to Week 3 online lesson, “Adolf Hitler was a charismatic leader who rose to power in Germany during the intra-war period” (CCN, 2016). Through what they labeled as their period of dissatisfaction and uncertainty, Hitler had the support of the German people (CCN, 2016). It is understood in the lesson that Hitler had more...

...Leadership Styles Reviewing the past to prepare ourselves for leadership roles Leadership is important because it is a critical part of our group dynamics. Even in the most democratic groups, someone must ultimately take the role of organizing or facilitating for the group. The role of the leader is present in every area of our life in some manner. Consider the leadership roles of teachers who instruct, managers who drive business, artists who inspire ideas, politicians who lobby to fulfill needs, entrepreneurs who bring a vision to life, and caretakers who provide supportive services. Each is affecting the lives of others by assuming a leadership role that brings benefit to them both. While most of us will find ourselves in a leadership role at some time in our life, simply being in a leadership role doesn’t make someone an effective leader. (Gordon, 1977) It is important to recognize different types of leadership styles and to how these styles fit to individual personality types. Three general types of outstanding, frequently traveled, paths are charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic. In order to be an effective leader, it is not necessary to radically change a personality style. (Ponder, 2005) It is much more beneficial to identify inherent tendencies and learn how to develop those traits into effective attributions. It would be beneficial to understand each of the formidable leadership styles and how to develop the style that comes intuitively. (Mumford, 2006) ...

...Many Greek Societies, more commonly known as sororities and fraternities, have a bad reputation in the eyes of the public. This is due to the fact that social media primarily highlights the negative aspects of Greek Life, which are alcohol and substance abuse, and hazing. This is not what all sororities and fraternities are about; in fact, being in Greek Life can be very beneficial to an individual. Many successful people such as Charles Berger, the vice president of Apple Inc., eighteen U.S presidents including Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and George W. Bush, and many actors and singers have been involved in Greek Life. This demonstrates that not all students in Greek Life are your stereotypical frat guy or sorority...

Capacity to Listen to Different Points of View While researching her Pulitzer Prize winning book, Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, Kearns Goodwin learned that Lincoln had the capacity to listen to different points of view. He created a climate where Cabinet members were free to disagree without fear of retaliation. At the same time, he knew when to stop the discussion and after listening to the various opinions, make a final decision. Ability to Learn on the Job Lincoln was able to acknowledge errors, learn from them, and then move. In this way, he established a culture of learning in his administration, said Kearns Goodwin. Ready Willingness to Share Credit for Success In response to concerns expressed by friends about the actions of some of his Cabinet members, Lincoln stated that the "path to success and ambition is broad enough for two" said Kearns Goodwin. When there was success, Lincoln shared the credit with all of those involved. Ready Willingness to Share Blame for Failure When mistakes were made by members of his Cabinet, Lincoln stood up for them said Kearns Goodwin. When contracts related to the war effort raised serious questions about a member of his administration, Lincoln spoke up and indicated that he and his entire Cabinet...

...contorvery has become more heated in light of the two recessions and the housing collapse of late 2009. For this research paper, I will be going the history of Welfare in America. The purpose of this research paper is to look at how and why welfare became a policy and how it has changed since its inception. The sources that I have used are from published literature. In conclusion, the reader will have better knowledge on welfare, the history and changes. I first became interested in the subject of Welfare after working for the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family services; where I met with families and processed their eligibilty for: Food Stamps, Ohio Works First (cash assistence) and Medicaid. Unfortuanlty, durning my training as a case worker no history was given, I did not know that AFDC (aid for dependent children) had become TANF (Temporary Aid For Needy Familes). Looking at the names I wanted to know how did policy change when the name changed and when? As I can recall my parents were never on government assistence and if they had been, I being a child was not privy to familes financial status. Welfare, a public policy concept in which programs...

...realists “the international system is defined by anarchy—the absence of a central authority (Waltz). States are sovereign and thus autonomous of each other; no inherent structure or society can emerge or even exist to order relations between them,” where according to Liberalism “Liberalism makes for a more complex and less cohesive body of theory than Realism or Institutionalism. The basic insight of the theory is that the national characteristics of individual States matter for their international relations” (Anne-Marie Slaughter, 2011). Many looked at international relations in some other ways. In other words, each has looked at it according to their own agenda and benefits. In simpler words of my understanding, international relation is a study where it looks at the relationship between countries, which will of course include the role of different organizations and different policies. For a long time now, our world is highly filled with national security dialogues such as diplomats, statesmen and military positions, however, all of these managed to avoid women participation due to their lack of characteristics required to handle such heavy duties. Gender discrimination is not something new, proving that would be all of the feminist movements that happened over the years to address their issues. Many categories in life have addressed women’s issue for some changes even when it comes to the world of politics. However, not until recently where international relations has made some...

Our primary focus was to examine the issues facing the financial world pertaining to public issues in mergers, management versus stockholders’ interest, and the changing nature of the stockholders. In addition, we covered ethical dilemmas that investors, managers, analysts, brokers and employees confront in business. We went into depth analyzing case studies, researching and discussions on these current events that affected the core of business ethics at work, in society and on a global level. Our first week, we discussed Corporate Responsibility in society and business today. I wrote about the importance of having good ethical guidelines at a global level. The United Nations initiated a Global Compact containing ten principle guidelines that encourage businesses to partake in sustainable and socially responsible policies and report these progresses regularly. The ten principle guidelines covered areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption which countries agree and commit to these practices and public policies. In Bermuda, we have an Employment Act and the Human...

...needing adaptive equipment or better access to work areas. However, the time and monies invested will pay off in ways that a business cannot easily measure. Equality and inclusion for all makes good business sense for all parties involved. Disability Inclusion at the Work Place The subject of disability is not something the average person really thinks about, until he or she or a close loved one is confronted with the limitations and bias of a disabled person. There is one fact about disability that is imposable to ignore. There are no limitations on age, race, national origin, sex, physical fitness. Disability can occur at any time or place and to anyone. This fact alone is the reason this topic should be important to everyone. Franklin D. Roosevelt summed it up best: “We know that equality of individual ability has never existed and never will, but we do insist that equality of opportunity still must be sought" (Thompson, 2009). However, a disability in the work place has been a sore spot for many business owners in America. Until the last twenty years, the potential of hiring a disabled person was never a high priority. Yet hiring a physically or mentally impaired individual as an employee will benefit a business both financially and morally. There are many advantages to include those different than us including individuals with disabilities (IWDs); diversity can bring new life to a business. “The biggest barrier is employment. Corporate America and their lack of effort and...

...December 2, 2011 US Politics POLISCI 101.08 Theories of Presidential Power Under Article II of the Constitution When first researching the topic for this paper, I found many interesting theories about implied presidential powers. There are many people out there with interesting theories, but I will summarize only three that I found fascinating to me. The first is a theory by Richard Neustadt who believes that Presidents have the power to persuade. The next, a theory by Samuel Kernell, theorizes the presidential powers in terms of “going pubic.” The last theory I will summarize, a theory by Stephen Skowronek, theorizes the president’s implied powers in terms of political time. Richard Neustadt’s theory of power to persuade is an interesting one. His theory serves as one of the most documented well-known theories of presidential power. As well as being a political scientist, he also served as an advisor for many United States Presidents. In his theory, he states that presidents cannot lead directly. If they really want something done, they cannot do it by themselves the power of the United States government is vastly dispersed and the president cannot, by himself, command and receive. Its much more complicated than that. Other levels of government have different constituencies and different sources of power and interest. The president is one individual and needs others to get things done. Neustadt states that presidential power is a “function of his or her ability to...

...The United States has carried out intelligence activities since the days of George Washington, but only since World War II have they been coordinated on a government-wide basis. President .Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed New York lawyer and war hero, William J. Donovan, to become first the Coordinator of Information, and then, after the US entered World War II, head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in 1942. The OSS – the forerunner to the CIA – had a mandate to collect and analyze strategic information. After World War II, however, the OSS was abolished along with many other war agencies and its functions were transferred to the State and War Departments. It did not take long before President Truman recognized the need for a postwar, centralized intelligence organization. To make a fully functional intelligence office, Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947 establishing the CIA. The National Security Act charged the CIA with coordinating the nation’s intelligence activities and correlating, evaluating and disseminating intelligence affecting national security. On December 17, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act which restructured the Intelligence Community by abolishing the position of Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) and Deputy Director of Central Intelligence (DDCI) and creating the position the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (D/CIA). The Act also created the position of Director of...

We can look into centuries of history and see women of different eras and of different ethnic backgrounds, were they a picture of the traditional woman? Let’s look at some examples; let’s turn back the clock to Egyptian times. During the 15th Century B.C. there was Hatshepsut a women of political power promoting trade and arts. It wasn’t until a later times that she received the title of Pharaoh, Queen of Egypt. She was also one of the first known finding in Egyptian history. We follow with the most famous and ambitious of all, Cleopatra. She is mostly know for her struggles to win the crown and keep her country free among other things. She was with Julius Caesar, Roman general bearing him a son. Additionally she won the protection of Rome through an affair with Mark Anthony, and had three children with him. A lesser-known fact is that Cleopatra was highly educated and possessed an impressive intellect, being a student of philosophy and international relations We move now to the Victorian times and start off with Joan of Arc. Joan came from a peasant family, became a French heroine by leading the army of Charles VII. She captured and put on trial for witchcraft...

...A six year old child calls another child ugly. Should this child be charged with bullying? I would say absolutely NOT! So where do we draw the line with the anti-bullying law? Who decide what exactly can be considered bullying? I believe that our society has forgotten how to teach our children to love themselves despite what someone else might say! It is a shame that children are taking their lives because someone is bullying them. The recent rise in adolescence suicide is evidence of this. I believe that these issues are solely based on a child's self-esteem. I think the responsibility lies on the parents to teach their children how to love themselves. It is silly that simple childhood name calling can cause a child to be arrested. What happened to the old saying of teaching a child to have "tough skin?" No, instead we blame the school and everyone else for not protecting the child. Children need to be taught how to have high self-esteem. We have become a generation that seems to lack time and interest in our children. A parent's daily reminder that a child is pretty, or smart, or has nice eye, can help build a child's self-esteem. Yet, instead we work long hours trying to achieve this American dream of the rags to riches ideology. We now choose to blame the system for our lack of involvement. Bullying is unavoibable, but it is the adults who need to change how they respond to it by not running to the courtrooms. We’re talking about kids. Kids — and I don’t want to ruin anybody’s...

...2003, the United States began the daunting task of nation building in Iraq by rebuilding the Iraqi infrastructure and reformulating its political institutions. The military's role in modern stability operations, though seemingly new, fits into a preexisting American foreign policy formula. However, the military sees stability operations through contemporary ethical lenses. Since each case depends upon current ethical understanding about what the military should or should not do, past examples of stability operations do not necessarily provide fitting frameworks for modern efforts. This article focuses on ethical abstractions as well as the ways national and social views of how "right" and "wrong" translate into political and military application, and it examines examples of stability operations and the ethical challenges and implications such efforts raise.1 Morality in Post-war Operations Even though moral rhetoric often permeates stability operations, international stability and perceived strategic interests have overridden moral obligations as determinants for American military commitments. A study of the ethical implications of conducting stability operations today bridges a historiographic gap in the understanding of morality in warfare. Scholars have often alluded to the prevalence of the just war tradition in (Western) military thought.2 However, the Just War model is insufficient when discussing stability operations because it only describes jus ad bellum (rationale for...
