Pluralists believe that that politics and decision making is located within the government and outside sources have no influence on the government, which is a lie since interest groups an election fundraising exists. The book Winner-Take-All Politics had a perfect quote, “The flaw in the pluralist heaven is that the heavenly choir sings with an upper-class accent”. If pluralist were real, then only those in power or the “upper-class” have a say in what goes on in the USA, therefore profiting the upper-class more than the middle and lower-class. Now the Elite political model is the least related to the book. This model believes that a small group of wealthy people should be in control of all
Overall I disagree with this view because, even though some parts of domestic policy were successful for Henry VIII and Wolsey, most aspects of domestic policy failed. For example Wolsey used the Courts to get revenge on old enemies as well as giving justice to all people despite their status or wealth. Source 7 suggests that Wolsey was a useless chief minister and only survived because he knew how to please Henry. Source 8 agrees with source 7 but also says that he was successful in 'centralising English politics'. Source 9 was written by George Cavendish and gives a positive view of Wolsey's contribution to domestic policy.
To what extent should leaders rely on polling results to guide them in voting on legislation? Partially it will depend on how well the pollster informs the public on the Leader’s issues. It is not important to correct the prevailing opinion on popular questions as much as correcting the inaccuracies of polling results. Eighty-one percent say when making "an important decision" government leaders "should pay attention to public opinion polls because this will help them get a sense of the public's views." Only 18 percent of the public said "leaders should not pay attention to public opinion polls because this will distract them from deciding what they think is right."
Ethical Relativism In society, behavior of one’s person is always questioned if being ethical or not. The case study of “death row inmate set free” the questioning of ethics is involved. One ethical theory is ethical relativism. A definition of ethical relativism is that morality is relative to a society’s laws of their culture. In other words, what is determined what’s right or wrong of a person’s actions depends on the laws within that society.
I personally say that strength is not given but earned by what you do to get others to approve your intensions. In other words, strengths and weakness depends on a personal capacity to influence the conduct of those in government. Power seems to be based on how influential or persuasive one can be. However, I also think that no matter how much the President tries to get what he wants during his term, the President will never be the most powerful man in the country. He is always sharing his power due to the checks and balances system.
Applying Ethical Reasoning to Kennedy and Romney During the presidential elections, candidates often make promises that they do not intend to keep. They have citizens believing in every word they say. Unfortunately, most citizens cannot detect when candidates are not applying ethical reasoning to their speeches. Ethical reasoning is not just following a set of norms or morals; it is being honest to one’s self and to others to promote good or to create fairness by using the characteristics of ethical reasoning. Presidential candidates can apply ethical reasoning to their speeches such as, John Fitzgerald Kennedy did on September 12, 1960 and Willard Mitt Romney did on December 6, 2007.
Lasheena Jackson English –Comp 101-25 Midterm “Liberators” In my opinion I believe that the Occupy Wall Street protesters deserve the appellation liberator. The protestors are liberators because there goal was to free American citizens from the current state of the American condition. Even though the protestors were not as organize as they should have been, it is no denying that they was able to spark a movement that quickly expanded across the nation. Addressing these people as occupiers to me is disrespectful because it downsizes all of their efforts to bring awareness to the nation’s current state. Occupy Wall Street protesters were a group of brave individuals who took a stand on the issues that they believed in, they should never be addressed as occupiers.
The president’s image is important in a campaign, but it should not be the main factor to which they deserve to be sworn into office. Television has made it so the Presidents who have the most influential
Teamsmanship is not a produce of polarization. With a huge investment in party platform, the image of the party is a key asset. In a polarized democracy representatives worry very little about the opposing party. The more constant they are with the party values the more approval they receive. People attempt to argue that polarization promotes the creation of safe seats within the House of Representatives.
Political parties were not used by the government in Greece, but they did believe that if the public officials were elected by popular vote then there was a great possibility that the richest and most famous citizen would be elected. The Greeks use the sortition
