When the government takes "the lead in economic planning and in improving the lot of ordinary citizens" as it did during the era of the New Deal, a twice-implemented collection of economic programs during the Franklin D. Roosevelt presidential terms, necessary improvements are made and obstacles to social equilibrium are exemplified (Give Me Liberty! 794). Turning obstacles into opportunities for improvement and executing them were the methods set forth by the components of the New Deal. From creating a plethora of new jobs for the vast amount of post-Great Depression unemployed Americans to expanding the government’s role in the economy while establishing a relationship between industry and labor, the New Deal laid the foundation for an era
Johnson doubled the amount of money being poured into the office of Economic Opportunity to improve the vile conditions in the Appalachian Mountain range. Also passed were Medicare laws which provided health insurance for both the elderly and the poor. While his policies “to give almost half a million underprivileged Americans…” assistance were beneficial, much of the assistance was taken from the program to help fuel the Vietnam War (Doc. B), (Doc. E).
Although both leaders shared a common goal of independence and freedom for the people of Vietnam their manner in which they chose to display their leadership styles differed, making them a favorite among their followers. Ho Chi Minh Ho Chi Minh, whose name means “bringer of light” envisioned a unified Vietnam that would be governed under communist ruling. The war left North Vietnam in a complete state of destruction. Ho Chi Minh immediately focused his attention on rebuilding the nation. He wanted a nation that had not only a strong foundation internally (Devry, 2014), but also one that would be “economically self-sufficient”, (Moss, 2010, p.64).
Most importantly they had leadership qualities. They communicated, problem solved, showed respect and used teamwork. By using their leadership qualities they created change to improve society. Their personal eagerness to change the world made a huge difference to support good change that forever changed what we call the United States of America. Based on reading Julius Caesar I learned that neither Marc Antony nor Julius Caesar would make a good president of the United States.
Both heroes, though differing in time period, display similar qualities in helping humanity, having a genuine reasoning for their efforts, and using their strengths to overcome others. Despite a gap in time period and different personas, the intentions of each hero are vital for accomplishments and very similar, even preceding any phenomena of physical strength or verbal oration. Rooted within each is the desire to improve the world for others, relative to his time. The intentions of Martin Luther King would not be relevant in the time of Beowulf, but their values coincide. King was determined to abolish any segregation.
Krikorian presents a good argument and has done his homework. The author seems to respect patriotism and feels we have a greater obligation to our citizens than foreigners. Krikorian speaks of a country we once were when our grandparents came to America but not that same country now. He argues our immigration laws need to be shaped to improve the United States along with the government enforcing more stringent immigration laws. This would shrink the illegal population and life for American workers would improve.
Even though there are clearly a lot of similarities and differences, many people wonder whether the similarities are greater than the differences. Firstly, both modern and classical liberals shared the belief that humans are rational creatures, they believe that humans have free will and are responsible for shaping up that they become. They have the belief that humans are rational creatures who are different to everybody else and are not defined by their social positions. Liberals believe that each individual should be the best judge of their own interests and therefore should be governing themselves without forms of interference. Liberals also believe that the growth of human knowledge will enable society to constantly keep on improving with each generation advancing more than the previous one.
The competition with other countries like America and Germany influenced our politicians to look deeper into the society and solve the social and economic issues that weakened our nation. First the government was concerned about the healthy workforce and better educated future generation therefore, the Liberals passed Acts for children. The first Act that was passed, was the School Meals Act in 1906 which allowed local authorities to provide needy children with a free daily meal. Local authorities were allowed to raise local tax by half a penny to help fund this scheme. This act was passed to improve health and ensure children were sufficiently educated.
When our country was founded, we continued to have decisive relationships with other world powers and nations to carry out the role of global manager. With the purpose of staying a flourishing country, we needed to understand the total social development of the United States accordingly from the transition of an individualistic, patriarchal, white supremacist society to a more bureaucratic organization it is today. We are much more further advanced than the previous times, but we still remain very different. After the ending of WWII, National Security meant much more than simply defending the nation's territory against invasion, it came to be identified with the creation and preservation of a free-trading capitalist world order. U.S. policymakers became determined to awaken the global capitalist economy by depending on a world system of free
The early twentieth century was an era of business expansion and progressive reform in the United States. The Progressive era was a time of immense change in America and American society. The progressives, as they called themselves, struggled to improve American society by working toward equality. Progressives shared optimism about American citizens’ ability to improve social conditions, by actively intervening, both politically and morally, and ensure social justice. During an age of mass industrialization and urbanization, obtaining social justice was of vital importance because with social justice established, social control would naturally be achieved due to the satisfaction of citizens being treated equally.
