The parliament would have been able to muster volunteers, but there was no money to equip them with weapons, and the only way that the Parliament would have been able to make money, would be by introducing taxes. However, the Parliament simply couldn’t just create money from taxes as everyone refused to pay the taxes. The payment of taxes could have been enforced, but there was no army to do the enforcement. There were no consequences to the people of the German Empire if they disobeyed the decisions of the Frankfurt Parliament, so decisions were not followed by the people. This was not surprising, as there was no previous history of a democracy in Germany before the Frankfurt Parliament, therefore there was not much support from the ordinary people for the new concept.

No longer just the basic networks, television offers all day coverage of the news on specific cable television channels like CNN and Fox News. With an increased emphasis on spectacles and the now, television often presents the news without the proper perspective, placement in time, and context (Fallows 53). This focus has created a “crisis in broadcast journalism” as the quality of television continues to deteriorate (Baym 259). But the creation of comedic television shows that brand themselves as “fake news” have recently captivated viewers. Although not necessarily the first comedic television show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart achieved much success by becoming the first “fake news” show.
However, Americans, regardless of all these progressions, feel unhappier in their government as they feel that their country has a fundamentally flawed political system; and have declining faith in their democracy. The Implications of this are that political participation has declined dramatically, since the 1960’s the voter turnout for presidential elections has fallen 20%. Voting is the least demanding of civic duties, other civic duties include party membership or participation in a school council. The past 40 years has seen an even more dramatic decrease in these kinds of political engagement. Some people blame this loss of faith in democracy on Watergate and Vietnam; however the doubt in government began before these events.
Multi-threading is a very important aspect to television today, but Johnson believes it has not received the credit it deserves. I agree that multiple threading has positive impact on television today, because of the different characters and plots make TV more interesting. Shows today you have to pay more attention to or you will not understand what is going on. For example The Wire, you have to watch every episode to understand the show. Shows with less multiple threading are easy to understand, because you can predict the ending most of the time.
A majority of this nation does not support mandatory voting in this country. Congress should not pass this bill because America simply does not want to be forced to vote. Mandatory voting will cause ignorant voting. The government is silly to think that mandatory voting will cause the people to increase their attention to politics. Not every citizen will have a political interest for each election or knowledge of the ongoing election.
He also says that illiteracy undermines democracy in the US since most illiterates do not vote, “Illiterate citizens seldom vote. More frequently, they vote for a face, a smile, or a
The nation’s economy has been affected, because of poorer health, with a 65 to 130 billion estimated annual cost. Some estimate that nearly nine million children are uninsured in the country. The lack of insurance for children causes their caretakers to seek less medical care for them, leaving conditions untreated and resulting in improper development. Adults are at a higher risk of developing chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease. The article has considered four possible solutions to the health care dilemma.
This is making the country broke. According to Gallup, ten percent of American’s are unemployed, and twenty percent are underemployed, meaning they are not getting enough hours or money they would need to support them and or their family. The book “The Coming Jobs War” describes it as “30 million Americans are fighting a war – a war for jobs – that they won’t win. And the 18 million with no hope are dead and critically wounded.” “Joblessness is the strongest core driver of national
These votings do show an even worse story. The population of the DPRK is 25,354,258. That means almost 25 million lives live in fear and hope for basic necessities of that most of the world would take for granted. Without a true democracy, human rights violations will follow. Today Kim Jong Un stands as the leader and to some, one of the most vicious North Korea has had.
