Jfk and His Media Importance

...The essay topic I have selected is that of the Presidency of John F. Kennedy and why America hailed him as "American Royalty", not only through his Presidential years but also through the legacy he left. I will be using recent books and media but not limited to the ones below. · Brauer, Carl M.. "What John F. Kennedy Meant to Americans." In The John F. Kennedy Assassination. Farmington Hills: Greenhaven Press, 2011. 20. · Goodman, Jon. The Kennedy mystique: creating Camelot. Washington, D.C.: National Geographic, 2006 · Reilly, Bill, and Martin Dugard.

New York: Bloomsbury USA, 2013. The excerpt from the first book concentrates on giving an overall view of JFK's life from start to finish including his school years (childhood and early career). Most of this information exhibited why JFK became The President he is known to be. I plan to use this to give background depth on his life prior to his actual Presidency. The boook The Kennedy Mystique will be used to address how JFK often manipuated the media to establish his and his familes name and the mythical lure that went a long with it. I would particularly like to utilize this book for its inside look that it gives into JFK's private affairs that were the primary purpose for the creation of Camelot. I also plan to use The...

Deviant Behavior

...illegal or an act of bigamy to live with multiple spouses. Some cultures see this as an act of hierarchy but to many that do not comprehend the behavior they will see it as deviant. In my outlook, some behaviors in American culture are categorized as deviant because of labeling. Our culture puts categories on many behaviors and automatically categorizes them as being deviant, such as cousins marrying each other or public bathing. In addition, when an individual has money and power and they commit an act of crime, when all is said and done they can get away with a crime either by having money or pull to get out of the problem. Just take the cases of OJ Simpson, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Michael Jackson, Robert Blake, Senator Ted Kennedy, and President Bush, just to name a few. In many cases, people that have money and power get many unique freedoms than most of us would in the same type of circumstance. If we were ever found guilty of crimes that they have been accused of, the law would have no issues with imprison us. People with power and money can get there way as far as terms served in jail or what conditions they serve their sentences. For example, Paris Hilton, she spent forty-five days in prison and she did not carry out the entire length of the sentence. She was placed in a cell away from other prison mates and was treated...

All My Sons Reaction Paper

...Through his character, Chris Keller, in the play All My Sons, the playwright Arthur Miller he explores the theme of accountability and responsibility of man which is as universal and relevant today as it was in the post WWII era. Chris Keller calls for corporate responsibility and the human universality of man looking out for man. As humans we have a highly developed brain, capable of abstract reasoning, language, and problem solving, with this in mind if we are smart enough to start of businesses then we should be responsible for the effects they cause. What does it mean to say that "business" has responsibilities? Only people can have responsibilities. A corporation is an artificial person and in this sense may have artificial responsibilities, but "business" as a whole cannot be said to have responsibilities, even in this vague sense(Friedman, Milton). Joe Keller owned a small factory that manufactured many spare parts and Steve was working for him. During the war the factory manufactured cylinder heads for the Air Force planes. One day they shipped some bad parts to the Army which resulted in the crash of twenty-one planes and the death of their pilots. That was a great scandal. Both Joe and Steve were arrested and brought up to trial for that terrible crime. Joe was clever enough to get off with it. He proved to the court that he had nothing to do with the shipped those bad cylinders. Life is full of many hard decisions that people have to take, often on the...

Freakonomics Summary

...Information is crucial for buyers and sellers in the business world today, and sometimes the buyers don’t always have all the information. The second chapter in the book FREAKONOMICS tells us how individuals, organizations, and businesses often exploit their access to crucial information at the expenses of others. The KKK used to be a very profitable organization in America until the 1940’s. Stenson Kennedy had a hatred for the Klan, and in the 1940’s joined the KKK to exploit the Klan’s secrets. What Kennedy found was the Klan was a slick moneymaking organization for those near the top of the organization. The Klan had a number of revenue sources: thousands of dues from membership fees, businesses that would hire the Klan to scare off unions, or pay the Klan protection money, and Klan rallies that generated huge cash donations. When Kennedy discovered this he wrote a letter to the governor of Georgia requesting the charter be revoked. The reason for this was the Klan had been designated a non profit organization, but Kennedy had proof it was clearly devoted to profit. Kennedy still wasn’t getting the desired affect he wanted because even though this would damage the clan in Georgia there would still be other clans around the country that wouldn’t be hurt. He then decided to turn to the radio, once he knew the secrets of the Klan he told them to a famous radio show host at the time. After the Klan secrets were broadcasted over the radio for the entire U.S. population to hear...

City on a Hill

...City on a Hill Speeches John Winthrop in particular has been quoted as a source of inspiration by U.S. presidents from John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. John Winthrop crossed the ocean from England to New England aboard the Arabella in early 1630s. His passengers were primarily Puritans who had fled England in search of religious freedom. John Winthrop's directive provided inspiration and caution to the passengers, and his determination was seen through John F. Kennedy’s and Ronald Reagan’s eyes. The “City on a Hill” speech was the motivational piece for John Winthrop, and the incentive for John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. The “City upon a Hill” section of the sermon called “A Model of Christian Charity” was written in 1630s by the Puritan leader, John Winthrop, while the first group of Puritan emigrants was still onboard their ship. The “City upon a Hill” passage has come to represent irritating Puritan pridefulness; they thought they were perfect, a city on a hill that everyone else would admire and want to imitate. In reality, the passage is far from a back-patting exercise. Winthrop knew that the events in New England would be watched not just by England, but by the world. It was in this context that Winthrop noted: “We must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us.” His language made it clear that we were not destined to be a shining example, only that we were destined to be an example, shining or not. In theory, his speech...

A lot of organizations feel using too many antibiotics in animals (whether its to make them healthy or for growth reasons) can have a harmful effect on humans.

Senator Edward Kennedy's Speech Analysis

...The time had finally come. The letter my parents had dreaded was in the mail just months after I had turned 18. The draft notice that required me to present myself for an Armed Forces Physical Examination. Despite my mother’s fear, my first was reaction was to just do what I was told and go with the flow. So that is what I decided to do, however this mindset did not stay for long. March 9, 1970, my fellow draftees and I were audience members in the Senate Chamber. Senator Edward Kennedy was set to make a speech today about voting rights for 18 year olds. Before entering boot camp, this thought rarely crossed my mind because of my shy personality. Sure I thought it was wrong that at my age I had to go risk my life for my country, even though...

Audience Analysis Paper

...When we are presenting quarterly sales information at an in-person meeting to a group of stakeholders, including managers, salespeople, and customers; we have to must consider the characteristics of the audience: age, gender, ethnicity, race, and cultural background, education, religious and political affiliations, economic status, sexual orientation, family background and group membership. Being aware of the audience, their characteristics, attitudes, interests and beliefs guide each step of the speech preparation process. Using these categories a speaker can sometimes predict the interests of audiences with certain characteristics. One student looked around her class of 23 males and 2 females and decided to give a definition speech on the word “bikini.” With a skimpy little model of a bikini as a visual aid, she had rapt attention from her mostly male audience throughout the speech. But on another occasion a county extension agent invited to speak to a group of homemakers picked the topic “Alternate Uses of the Coffeemaker.” Unfortunately this was a group of non-coffee drinkers. No one in the room owned a coffeemaker. So this demonstration fell flat on its face. A demographic analysis of your audience can be a useful guide, but it is not a foolproof method. While looking for similarities and common interests, you must always be aware of the rich diversity that some audiences exhibit. Audiences are still made up of individuals with unique characteristics and interests. ...

Efca

...EFCA Employee Free Choice Act Relissa Watson Business 405 November 29, 2009 “The EFCA is a bill presently being considered in the United States Congress.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employeefreechoiceact The EFCA’S main focus is the amendment to the NLRA (National Labor Relations Act). The amendment will allow employees the choice of forming, joining, assisting labor organizations, and it will provide injunctions for unfair labor practices. The present labor law uses a process called check card. The process starts with employees receiving blank cards from their current union, and getting signatures on the cards from their colleagues. At least 30% of the workers must sign these cards in order for the employer to ask the NLRB to hold a secret ballot election, to decide if the employees want to be in a union. Check Card results are not revealed to the employer until at least 50 to 60% of the employees have signed the cards. If the EFCA comes to pass it will change the present procedure and require the NLRB to certify the unions as bargaining representatives. This process will change the process that is currently in place and it will change the secret ballot process employees of a bargaining unit are currently using. The new process will allow employees to use secret ballot elections when the majority has decided to join the union through the check-card process. The NLRA established in 1935 made it legal to form unions once the majority has signed bargaining cards. Bargaining...

301 Mini Criticism Paper

...Comm 301 May 8, 2014 A Pentadic Analysis of Hillary Clinton Interview The artifact we are analyzing for our study is a live television interview that Hillary Clinton was giving to San Francisco’s KTVU-TV in late February of 2008. This interview was broadcasted via television and is also available on YouTube and other video media sources. The interview was being hosted by a man named Ross McGowan of KTVU-TV to senator Hillary Clinton, and that within itself makes it a significant artifact. The live interview about healthcare that Hillary Clinton was giving had to be cut short when the New York senator began having a coughing fit. Prior to the cough attack, the interview was directed but not limited to the subject of health care. Senator Clinton was speaking of issues such as the pulling troops from the Iraq war,  California’s mortgage crisis, Americas current health care system, and the idea of a universal health care system. In the end of the interview Clinton fails to answer the question regarding her husbands role in her campaign by coughing for the remainder of the interview abruptly ending it. Whether or not the actions by Clinton were intended, speculation of this interview arose. In 2000, Hillary Clinton became the first women to be elected a seat in the United States Senate.  At first glance, Clinton’s aggrandizement to such a respectable political position seemed like a victory for herself and the ongoing women’s movement effort. However, the continual reminder of...

Juvenile

...Juvenile Criminology Student’s name Institution My discussion question Adult prison system is unsuitable to meet the needs of young offenders as shown by various research studies. The process of maintaining public safety, successful integration of young offenders to the community, rehabilitation, skill development and treatment are the main goals of the juvenile system. As suggested by Howell, (2003), justice can never be served by forcing juveniles through a system never intended to process teenagers, moreover transfer laws have worsened the implications they intend to address. Juvenile justice system was essentially established because many teenagers were subjected to awful violations in adult jails and prisons hence resulting to the society as more hardened criminals. Placing young offenders in adult prisons heightens criminal behaviors after release according to the findings. There is well founded fear that several number of young offenders slated to be placed in adult jails are more likely to be assaulted ,commit suicide and raped. Juveniles are driven to desperation and abused regularly in adult prisons because they are not specific measures to protect the young offenders from the adult prisoners.

Supreme Court Case

...Supporters of affirmative action fear that the Supreme Court could curtail or further restrict the use of race-conscious admissions policies at public universities. On Wednesday, all eyes will be on Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote is considered pivotal in the case brought by a white Texan who has sued the University of Texas at Austin, claiming that she was denied admission to the school in 2008 because of her race. Abigail Fisher, who has since graduated from Louisiana State University, said she was subject to unequal treatment in violation of the 14th Amendment. "I was taught from the time I was a little girl that any kind of discrimination was wrong, and for an institution of higher learning to act this way makes no sense to me," Fisher said in an interview clip posted on the website of the Project on Fair Representation, a legal defense foundation that's providing her with legal representation. On the other side are lawyers for the University of Texas, who argue that, like many other universities, UT seeks to assemble a class that is diverse in innumerable ways -- including race -- and that "race is just one of many characteristics that form the mosaic presented by an applicant's file." More than 90 friend of the court briefs have been filed in the case, with the Obama administration weighing in favor of the university. Others, who support Fisher, argue that diversity can be achieved through race-neutral programs, and that race-preferential admissions policies can...
