Running head: EFFECTS OF WELFARE REFORM ON POSTSECONDARY 1 EDUCATION Effects of Welfare Reform on Postsecondary Education Kathleen M. Sawtell Creighton University Running head: EFFECTS OF WELFARE REFORM ON POSTSECONDARY 2 EDUCATION Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine data about the welfare reform in America that was gathered and presented by authors Jerry A. Jacobs and Sarah Winslow. Their work, "Welfare Reform and Enrollment in Postsecondary Education" was published in the 586th volume of Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science in 2003. The data that is addressed in this essay originates from a variety of sources and discusses the issue of the federal welfare reforms (specifically the
The Lingering Problems of Direct Democracy: Potential for Abuse in a Time of Technological Change In considering the possibility of implementing a form of web and computer-based direct democracy in American society, the benefits, as they pertain to transparency and responsiveness, appear to be significant. Problematically, however, and in spite of the technological growth which has made large-scale direct democracy foreseeable in a federal republic, several elements of human nature and of American life alike preclude the possibility of its real emergence. For one, the problem of the factions, discussed at length in the Federalist Papers, might create a context in which direct democracy would become oppressive to America’s minorities. Additionally,
It is clear that pressure groups do gain influence over election results as there are concerns that pressure groups play a too significant role in elections, potentially making politicians more responsive to their agenda than to the concerns of the voters. This concern has transpired due to a pressure group tactic that helps gain influence with those elected that monitors a politicians’ response to a pressure groups’ agenda. The tactic involves pressure groups issuing “reports cards,” on how much support their agenda has received, those with the highest grades can expect considerable support in their campaigns. This tactic allows pressure groups to constantly influence election results as politicians know the consequences of their actions if they go against the pressure groups agenda. For example in 2006 Republican Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio received a grade F from the NRA with the group vowing to punish him in the 2006 election and contributed to his defeat.
Tuition Reimbursement Programs Student’s name: Institutional Affiliations: Tuition Reimbursement Programs The constitution of the United States of America, by way of several legal acts, allows employers to provide their employees with reimbursements for either graduate or under-graduate education. The Benefits USA 2010/2011 survey put the percentage of employers who offer tuition reimbursement to their employees at 84.7% (Garcia, et al, 2011). Consensus lacks in academia regarding whether tuition reimbursement is a worthy cause or not, especially taking into account the volatile economic circumstances afflicting many American businesses today. In this paper, we review the program to identify its advantages and disadvantages to employers, and draw conclusions on whether it is an economically sound effort. Tuition reimbursement programs provide employees across the United States with a strong incentive to further their education by either paying part or all of the cost.
The government have to govern to the national interest rather than smaller sections of the community with a particularly large voice, in that sense these views can often be outnumbered by national beliefs yet a louder voice allows them to be implemented against the majority which can only be considered a disadvantage as it allows for sometimes unpopular and extreme beliefs to be taken into consideration when the ‘national interest’ would not wish them to be. In defence we can say that they act on behalf of minority interests such as racial minorities and how they're treated, it cannot be argued they do not deserve equal rights and so groups like the Civil Rights Movement in America was a benefit to democracy
It’s one of the most important privileges that we have over the citizens of other countries. The information is there to prove that a slight change in the voters can influence the course of elections, so what’s stopping someone from stating their opinion? When someone considers whether or not to vote, think about how one vote could alter the course of
