This opened the door to a series of affirmative action policies that would change the way business and government carry out their basic functions. A few years later, the federal government set goals for its departments with respect to the amount of federally contracted dollars it should award to minority-owned businesses. In 1995 the Supreme Court was asked to decide the constitutionality of affirmative action regulations that supported the government in reaching its goals. The case that would change the way affirmative action regulations are interpreted is called Adarand v. Peña. In 1989 Mountain Gravel and Construction Company (Mountain Gravel) was awarded a $1 million prime contract from the Department of Transportation (DOT) to build highways in southwestern Colorado.
Examples that support the relevance and influence of Parker’s principles during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) are the rapid acquisition of the Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle, the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) model and troop surges in both conflicts. During the early phases of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S Forces entered combat operations using Vietnam and Cold War era equipment that proved to be insufficient in the operational environment. To overcome these equipment shortfalls, our national industrial base used advanced technology and research to develop and manufacture new vehicles, uniforms, and weaponry to increase our combat effectiveness. For instance, when coalition forces experienced a significant increase in casualties and deaths as a result of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), the Department of Defense (DOD) called upon America’s industrial base to develop and manufacture the MRAP.

Broken-windows theory has suggested a way of thinking in the community. Citizens feel safer when police departments conduct more foot patrols in the neighborhood, and feel the police were more aware of the crime that are occurring. As time progressed into the adaptation of the motorized patrol, some people felt that the police had lost touch with the community and were not aware of the small underlying issues of the bigger crimes that occurred. Through the theory of broken-windows, a zero-tolerance style of policing was developed. Some police departments, such as New York, implemented the zero tolerance style and claimed that it lowered their crime rates in the mid 1990’s.
