Structure and discipline for the child in school will bring a well-rounded American. Public education opened up more opportunity for women to be independent , it also paved the way for poor whites and blacks to better educated well rounded citizens in which I believed paved the way for everyone to be considered the same for the
Liberalism was drawn from the age of enlightenment in which many religious restrictions were broken in order for meritocracy to strive which allowed individuals to strive on their own basis. The main party that stands for liberalism within Britain is the Liberal Democrat party which is lead by Nick Clegg however parties such as Labour and the Conservatives have strong relations with Liberalism which is evident through their leadership style and manifesto proposals. One of the most leading styles of modern liberalism that is displayed in British politics at current times is the development of the welfare state which provides people with education and healthcare but also provides benefits for those who are unable to work for various reasons. The welfare state was originally introduced in 1911 as a result of a range of reforms due to investigation in to the living conditions of ordinary British citizens. The national insurance act was enacted by David Lloyd George and the liberal party and it meant that contributions were made to assist those who were unemployed or unable to work.
The main way they have an effect on public policy, they supply evidence to the legislators/ the political parties. 2. How do you think the media influences the decisions of citizens and government officials? - I think the media influences affect is by the agenda setting for them. Meaning that this connects to the quantity and the kind of news coverage on the main topic of issues being presented.
Our politicians have a great influence over what the media reports as well. At times the role of the media and the influence of politicians collide. Who wins out in the end is a complicated matter and is a very hot topic at present. I will elaborate on this idea and conclude with my thoughts on the “conservatives” charge that the media in general has a very liberal bias. The word “media” can be described many different ways, in both a positive and negative light.
‘Democrats have long valued education as the key to success; Roosevelt’s G.I. Bill helped create the modern middle class in America’ (http://www.democrats.org/issues/education). Robert Reich confirms it by talking about early childhood education, better public school and expanded access to higher education. The Republicans (State’s Right Oriented branch) are supporters of the maximum transfer of responsibilities from the federal government to the federal states, which is Gingrich’s idea in his Medicaid
(It is worth noting that legislation for such a program had been in process even before Sputnik; the satellite simply bolstered political support for existing science- and language-related initiatives and prompted Congress to act.) While few of the nation’s schools had been seeking aid in these areas—instead, most sought federal aid for school construction
This new Statutory Guidance on Inclusive Schooling from the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) is associated with the 2001 Act. It gives a clear and strong message to LEAs, schools and other bodies that the development of inclusion in schools is one of the Government's highest agendas. The Guidance establishes seven 'principles of an inclusive education service'. Two of these principles are taken directly from CSIE's Index for Inclusion: • 'Inclusion is a process by which schools, local education authorities and others develop their cultures, policies and practices to include pupils.' • 'Schools, local education authorities and others should actively seek to remove barriers to learning and participation.'

There are many reasons to choose year round schooling versus the standard schooling schedule. The first and most important reason that year round schooling is better is that it boosts test scores and retention rates. Another reason is that year round schooling provides different ways of scheduling the students’ school years to utilize the buildings and classrooms as well at the teachers and other staff. The third reason is that year round schooling helps parents keep a normal work and home schedule without the need of a caretaker for the long summer breaks. Here is a brief explanation from others of why schools should make the switch over from traditional school schedules to year round or modified schedules.
Some facets of “process philosophy” that has impacted American government and society include some educational, economical, legislation, family and marriage, and civil right shifts. There are many other things that have shaped the American government when it comes to “process philosophy”, however the educational shifts is what I have chosen to discuss in this paper. More specifically the consequences of Rationalism with its deistic ontology in the various academic settings. When it comes to educational shifts that have impacted and formed what we know today as our American government, during the Enlightenment timeframe Rationalism had replaced Theism with
