...Donald J. Trump has made a lot of promises during his campaign to become the next President of the United States. If elected, however, many of Mr. Trump’s proposals would be moderated by Congress before being passed. This is not the case with promises Mr. Trump has made regarding international trade policy, however. Although Congress has the power to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations”, they have actually delegated much of the power to do so to the president. In this regard, Mr. Trump has made several threats including, but not limited to: raising tariffs on imported goods from China and Mexico, ripping up the North American Free Trade Agreement, and withdrawing from the World Trade Organization. Although Congressional approval is...

...Nickolas Galaviz Ms. Medina INRW 0376 M09 8 November 2015 Why Donald Trump Should Be President? Donald Trump should be president because of his political experience. Trump is a tough dealmaker and unafraid to have an honest debate even though some may not agree. Trump becoming president will be the best solution for America’s future. Donald is first and foremost an experienced businessman that established a multi-billion dollar real estate empire all by himself. He’s known as an American hustler who built all of his fortunes from the ground up. His business experience has helped him be involved with negotiations behind scenes with political candidates. Therefore, giving him key insights in different parts of the world, pursue trade agreements, and is aware of financial global competitors. Undeniably being a great negotiator, he has had experience with a variety of industries, businesses, and investors. All his life he has been dedicated to business industry, so he will manage the budget fairly well. With this being said, as president, there is a large portion of negotiating in favor of the U.S. and by applying his skills would be very helpful to this country. Trump has the confidence and personality that will work perfectly in politics, and make it less likely to let his personal power be manipulated by outsiders. Donald has experience creating jobs, which make him more aware of the problems that occur in the workforce. His views on immigration are what America needs...

The following design cycle explains my point of view [Working families] on climate change. Criterion A Need for Solution/Target Audience Need for solution Ten out of the last thirteen years were the warmest on record. It is also estimated to have gotten one point two to one point four in the last century. 97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is not caused by naturally occurring activities but more likely to be caused by human activities. Today, many people are not informed that climate change is a real and serious issue we’re facing [For example President Trump]. It is only a matter of time to think for a solution to explain the threat of climate change. Target Audience: In the dilemma for this project, it will be presented to the students of Summit International Preparatory, in Scott Michael Delcambre classroom.

...Marijuana, an immense and controversial topic currently being discussed and debated in the United States. The question is, should it be legalized on the Federal level or not? Both the Washington Post and Time Magazine have recently released articles, discussing the political and monetary effects of legalizing the drug. On the monetary side of the debate, within three years of its legalization in Washington State, the price has dropped at a dramatic rate. The price currently has dropped at an impressive 67% since its 2014 debut in July. Based on Steven Davenport’s study, he believes that the prices will continue to drop and highlights the effects of prohibition for drug companies. On the political side of the debate, Time has released an article...

...For instance it is the best compromise between having congress select a President, and an election by popular vote. (“What is the Electoral College?”) So rather than simply having our elected Congressmen vote, every eligible American has the opportunity to vote; however, the votes are funneled down to the Electors, but this protects from uneducated voters and those who vote randomly. The Electoral College also ensures that we have a definitive answer as to who won the Presidential election. ("The Electoral College: Top 3 Pros and Cons.”) That is one of the issues with an election by popular vote, every single vote counts, and because every vote counts one would have to ensure that every vote is accounted for. Rather than the federal government being in charge of the nation’s 300 million plus votes through the Electoral College each state is responsible for its vote’s and the government is only responsible for 538 votes. This makes for a quicker process with much less error. In conclusion the electoral college, flaws and all, is still the best...

Although some may believe that the electoral college is undemocratic and outdated, in actuality, the electoral college is still necessary to prevent the more populated states from controlling the presidential election. The electoral college was put into place more than 200 years ago by our founding fathers. The founding fathers were striving to find the fairest way to selecting a new ruler and best avoid having a power hungry dictator. Their solution was...

...23, 2010 President Barack Obama signed the affordable care act into law (American Public Health Association, 2014). This law will potentially provide up to 44 million people the chance to be able to gain a health care plan that they can afford. Several people have a big issue with this because some regulations of the law give a large amount of control to the federal government. People argue that this involvement from the government makes the law unconstitutional. The biggest question being is if the pros outweigh the cons and if the plan will benefit the people of this nation There have always been issues in this country with healthcare being extremely expensive. This being the case, many people have been forced to go uninsured and put their own health at risk simply because they could not afford to make it a priority. Not only does this cause them to go without preventative care, but when the time comes in an emergency and medical attention is needed the average American cannot afford to pay the out of pocket medical bill and ends up filing bankruptcy on the medical bill resulting in the hospital losing a ridiculous amount of money. President Obama along with many Americans agreed that something has to be done to change this travesty. There are many pros and cons to the Affordable Care Act that needs to be evaluated in order to decide if this law is good or bad for our country. The following are some main points that we all need to think about: Pros: • Affordable...

...granted. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made something as simple as seeking medical treatment when needed possible for many Americans. The Affordable Care Act is an act in the healthcare system that was enacted into law by President Obama in 2010. The Affordable Care Act has three main objectives; making healthcare insurance affordable and available to many Americans, expanding the Medical care insurance to cover all adults earning less than the 138 percent of the national poverty level, and promoting innovative procedures of delivering the medical care so as to lower healthcare costs (Schembri & Ghaddar, 2018). The ACA has promoted health care access by many...

...position that is currently being used by researchers in personality psychology is cultural blendedness. Cultural blendedness captures the degree of overlap vs. dissociation or compartmentalization perceived between the two cultural identities of orientation (Huynh, Nguyen & Binet-Martínez, 2011). Binet-Martínez and Haritatos (2005) examination of the demographic, contextual and personality correlates of BII showed that cultural blendedness and harmony encapsulates different psychological components of the bicultural experience. They saw that cultural blendedness was positively correlated with openness to experience but negatively correlated with linguistic/structural types of stress. The accuracy of this theory accurately shows the pros and cons of cultural blendedness and how it positively and/or negatively impacts BII. In the study, when individuals scored high on cultural blendedness, they felt more part of a combined culture. Huff, Lee & Hong (2017) hypothesized that individuals with higher levels of identity integration will exhibit greater interpersonal tolerance toward others holding dissimilar values and preference. The study goes in depth about the difference of cultural blendedness and harmony. As more students and individuals correlate themselves with either being bicultural or multicultural, it is important to see/understand such importance. Cultural harmony captures the degree of harmony vs. tension or clash perceived between the two identities and/or orientations...

...Many things have been written and said in the media, both pro and con, about perhaps the most polarizing individual in America today. Opinions and emotions are very strong concerning the current President, and even some well known mental health professionals as recently as last Tuesday held a panel discussion in Washington D.C. titled “The Increasingly Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” [1]. It was claimed that the President’s “mental instability” was supported by now well-known examples of exaggeration, lying, and personal vanity. Although many politicians and public figures are controversial because of these behaviors, I thought it would be interesting to examine and explain Donald Trump’s personality using two different perspectives: Freud’s...

...Pro removal of the second amendment The removal of the second amendment is a very controversial topic because most people can’t seem to agree on what laws should be put into place for firearms. Like you see here, we have pro and con on this matter but some things are arguable when it comes to this topic. For example, quite a few pro-gun activists believe that everyone should own a gun… including people with mental illnesses. Yes, everyone has a right to protect themselves but does everyone really need to have a gun? No, not everyone needs to own a firearm because that is how accidents happen. Last year during Obama’s tenure, he set a rule saying that people with mental illnesses, from anxiety to schizophrenia, could not purchase firearms....

...of our news cycle, not distinct from or extraneous to it but a part of it, embedded within the news apparatus as a spoke is embedded in a bicycle wheel.”(16 Fake News Stories Reporters Have Run Since Trump Won) All the fake news stories and their nature as a method of attacking the president show the misinformation being spread by media sources due to bias and haste to produce a story. In an article on media malpractice for Investors.com, Tom Westervelts claims, “...throughout the campaign, the Huffington Post published the following editor's note at the end of stories about Mr. Trump, ‘Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.’”(Media Bias and the 2016 Election) This editor’s note by Huffington Post in every single story printed about trump during the election cycle is a clear attempt to misinform readers, it would be understandable in stories specifically about something that could be interpreted as xenophobic, or misogynist, but to add that to the end of every single story about the man clearly shows that the Huffington Post was attempting to turn readers against Trump with misinformation. In an article published for the Washington Times not long after the 2016 election, Jennifer Harper says, “Inaccuracies, melodrama, bias, outrage: Journalists showcased plenty during...

...Marijuana has been legalized in states like California and Colorado, congress has been involved since president George W. Bush and in present time Trump seems to be letting the states handle it, rather than the federal government. Trump’s Administration has stepped in and promised to “get tougher” on drugs including marijuana (National Review). Many people in the federal government would like to step in but they may not exercise their power if it was never granted. In 2013 Deputy Attorney General James Cole said “state-regulated marijuana businesses are less likely to impinge on "federal enforcement priorities," such as stopping interstate smuggling and sales to minors.” Cole did not tell U.S. attorneys to leave state-legal cannabusinesses alone, but since then they generally have (Sallum)....

...Consensual Relationship Agreements (Case Study) Dr. Tameria Vickerson Business 520 – Leadership And Organizational Behavior January 27, 2013 Strayer University Abstract The focus of this paper is to outline the pros and cons, explain, and explore the ethical issues of a Consensual Relationship Agreement (CRAs) between coworkers, corporate vice-presidents, executives, and/or managers in the workplace. It will present arguments for and against the use of CRAs in the workplace by analyzing the relationships between the basic organizational behavior models of individual groups and organizational processes. Additionally, this paper will discuss the ethical principles that are involved in the use of a CRA, how ethical decisions are made within an organization as it pertains to a CRA, and how these relationships impact and/or affect productivity. Finally, it will explore other options that would address the issue of workplace romance (Don Hellriegel & John W. Slocum, Jr., 2011).
