This can slow down the political process immensely, and as the government has a mandate to put through such legislation, pressure groups become undemocratic and start to undermine the democratic process. One last reason why pressure groups undermine democracy is the fact that they themselves may be undemocratic, and the leaders of these groups may not truly represent the views of their leaders. This undermines the whole point of pressure groups groups and thus can be seen as the 'politics of self-interest' and can present the public with overbiased and false information. Overall however, pressure groups are more likely to help the democratic process rather than hinder it, as they advance and improve political participation, and as participation is a vital part of democracy, pressure groups are an important part of the UK's democracy. While pressure groups may have unbalanced influence due to varying methods and funds, they are generally good at being a channel of representation between the people and the government, keeping the government in touch with the people.
Because of America’s history. If we didn’t have unequal treatment we would not have to deal with things such as Affirmative Action. It is a shame that A.A. has to be enforced. It is also a shame that we down a minority because of his or her ethnicity, and say that he or she is not capable of what everyone else is. Therefore it is only fair and good that we have Affirmative Action because of past issues denying someone of something because they’re a different nationality.
Ethnocentrism is the way an individual look at the world from his/her own beliefs in their culture. They feel that their culture, race, or ethnic group is more significant and that their culture is more superior than any other culture of other groups. In feeling this way the individuals will judge other groups, such as their behavior, the language in which they use, religion. How it could be detrimental to society is that it could lead to false speculation about the differences in cultures. It leads to society making premature judgments about other cultures, not knowing all the facts about another culture.
When ethnocentrism is present, it has the affect of having people sort out members of society by group lines, usually by using an easily identifiable characteristic (skin tone) into "us" and "them". But Noel cautions that ethnocentrism by itself is not enough to cause ethnic stratification. There exist historical examples of groups with ethnocentric beliefs that lived side by side in peace. A second condition cited by Noel that is needed for ethnic stratification is competition. Competition is where there is a struggle for scare resources which could include anything from land, labor, jobs, and housing to educational opportunities.
I prefer not to be touched so much. Some people feel disrespected to be greeted with a left hand, when it my be acceptable in another culture. There are so many examples of how individuals want to be treated differently that I could go on listing them, but I wont. I will, however touch on the fact that some people think that that they deserve more then they actually do. It may be unfair to be required to treat a peer like royalty simply because he or she feels entitled to such.
For example a person in position of authority should not steal unless their citizens can do it also. There are many different ways of describing a person or particular group of individuals who has integrity. Majority of the time these people have slight advantages. Example a favored person can be described as having integrity while a non- favored person could lack it. Ironically in some cases this can be a very bad thing.
Conclusion -> draw together main ideas/arguments An outsider does not fit into society and they will do what they see to be right. Although the legal system is meant to be fair, it is only fair to society. If some one is different society tries to outcast them. More often than not, justice does not reach as far as the outsider. Justice is what is seen to be right and just by society and this means that society is catered for.
Therefore, the merit systemand spoils system have different opinions on patronage. In conclusion, patronage can have positive effects on the United States. It can also have negative effects on the United States.The merit system is against patronage and the spoils system is in favor of patronage.Patronage could make the United States stronger or weaker depending on the officials who are elected in office, but it is up to the people to determine who would be honest, loyal, and respectful politicians. The word ‘patronage’ will no longer mean corruption instead it will mean loyalty to all
While that might be the case in many instances, freedom of speech is a more positive advantage than a negative threat and abridging it is against the First Amendment. In his essay "Regulating Racist Speech on Campus", Charles Lawrence writes "I am troubled that we have not listened to the real victims, that we have shown so little understanding of their injury, and that we have abandoned those whose, race, gender, or sexual preference countinues to make them second- class citizens." He implies that freedom of speech thretens minorities because it allows racial insults and offensive speech. However, the same took that is used against minorities can be used to fight back. Freedom of speech can be used for them to defend themselves.
Finally A third negative aspect of the personalised screed as oppose to a generic format is the fact that the former is only designed to help one person while the latter can be used on a local, national and even global basis. Thus in conclusion from a sharp analysis of the former I believe that a personalised induction will not always be the most effective, it all depends on the circumstances. For example it would be more effective in a one on one session where there are no time constraints; however a generic script would be more beneficial in group
