Dr Dole Queue” Adrian Wooldridge states, “the returns on even-higher education can actually be negativeIn the article, “Dr Dole Queue” Adrian Wooldridge states, “the returns on even-higher education can actually be negative”. He is basically arguing that higher education is just a waste of time. I believe that Wooldridge is not persuasive when he claims that BA’s, PhD’s and other degrees are not worth what they used to be worth, I concede that Wooldridge’s point about higher education and the large amount of debt that follows is an important point that needs to be taken seriously. In the article, Wooldridge states higher education is not worth what it use to be. This is not persuasive because one of those reasons are from the research I have done for my own career field (video editor); you need a secondary education in this field and it needs to be related to a film school diploma.
Discuss the different reasons listed in your text as to why national health insurance has not developed in the U.S. A reason why National Health Care has failed in the United States is because it failed to get an early start due to labor and political views. Also, the AMA had a history of opposing national healthcare initiatives. Other reasons were that the middle class Americans opposed to increasing the taxes that would benefit in the program. The middle class had traditional beliefs and values that consist with capitalism, self-determination, and distrust of big government. 2.
Having looked at three different sources which talk about, and suggest reasons for the lack of improvement in, public health in the 1840’s, I can see that there were multiple obstacles hindering its progress. One of these obstacles is the laissez fare attitude which the government held at the time, and the way they neglected the needs of the working classes due to their lack of political impact. Another factor was the fear of centralisation, the conflict it would cause with local authorities, and the fact that it would lead to a more continental European system- with the traditional British methods and values losing out. The final obstacle I’m going to look at is the issue of costs, and the financial burden brought onto the middle class tax payer from having an advanced public health system. Overall I think the sources suggest that the biggest obstacle from public health was actually the fear of centralisation, as the sources provide evidence to suggest that, although cost may have been used as an excuse for a lack of progress, enough funds were available to introduce public health boards and create water systems- meaning there must have been a different reason other than cost stopping progress happening in each area, and centralisation is the reason the sources use most.
DEA overlapped with the Treasury and the role of Chancellor, Callaghan and Wilson didn’t know who to listen to, this resulted in Brown/DEA in competition with Chancellor Callaghan and the treasury. This problem worsened as Brown was impulsive and lacked consistency (drink problem). Brown came up with National Plan, this created in unison with trade unions and industry but did not have support of united government. Potential third problem was that Wilson was trying to keep everyone happy rather than pick best team for the job and this resulted in the DEA being ineffective and not helping the economy at
Working on an article is a privilege not a right, but I do believe that it wasn’t right when the editors didn’t think they had a chance. I also think that the editors did not encourage them because when Woodward and Bernstein had some of their articles published, no other journalist were re-printing their story. They became worried, and wanted to drop the story, thinking that if Woodward and Bernstein continued it, it would get nowhere. I think the story of Watergate was scandalous. It was an American Political scandal and a conflict in the 1970’s and also led to the resignation of president Nixon.
In my opinion it is a sick cycle, which enviably will reduce the standard of living in the United States. The individuals seeking to pay less for their purchases don’t realize the effect it has on the surrounding economy, including reduced wages, reduced community support, reduced business opportunity, reduced land values, reduced tax base, and ultimately lower standard and quality of living for most members of the community. I personally think that Wal-Mart is a modern day monopoly. It kills the competition. This is harmful for our economy.
Both the tea party and occupy Wall Street movements have been dismissed as not being very important. Both movements have started out being rooted in anger with the government’s financial decisions. And they are outraged by the federal bailout of Wall Street in 2008, “according to several experts who study political and social movements.” (Douglas,
The Effectiveness of Reconstruction The end of the Civil War spawned waste and corruption, with Americans untrusting of their political system. The death of Lincoln brought upon the nation unqualified presidents, whose policies did little to ease the dilemmas that the country was facing. Most prominently was Reconstruction, which sat heavily on the shoulders of the government, and had to be handled with utmost care and tact, as it would determine the relationship between the North and the South for years to come. Nevertheless, the inept government led to the failure of Reconstruction. In the Union, though preserved, still lingered resentment between the two sides the Reconstruction failed to soften, and slavery, though abolished, still existed through different forms and the oppression of black rights ensued.
However, because of over generalizing the democratic populous, and arguing with a vagueness in the terms, ‘desire’, ‘passion’, ‘appetite’, and ‘spirit’, Plato’s theory proves to lack in consistency and thus weakens its validity. As well because of the elimination of social class systems and separation between government and economy, the platonic drone does not need to rule with tyranny rather he may participate in both government and economy as separate institutions in a democratic capitalist society. Finally by overlooking intellects and their normative desires to participate in society, Plato stereotypes the entire populous of a democracy and therefore makes incorrect assumptions such as that of unavoidable
The government didn’t calculate how much this would all cost and what would be delayed because of it. Not only did it hurt the government, but it may have discouraged people from taking jobs in the government.
