RETIRED TRIBUNAL At the spinal cord of democracy, Juries are a globally acknowledged tradition that has withstood the test of time, but is it all over now? JESSICA CRANE asks, has a retired jury really retired the palladium of free government after 800 strong years of prosperity? Increased demands for no jury orders that have streamed through the courts in recent years pose a great threat to fair trials and judicial stability. A jury represents the arbiter of fact who maintains a balance of power within the courtroom by acting as an independent and impartial fact-finding body1. Without a jury in place, a judge alone is more likely to exercise his or her power through autocratic decision making.
There is a great deal of controversy over the availability of health care in the United States. The year 2008 is a presidential-election year, and nearly every candidate for the presidency also has a platform that includes health care reform. The fact that, “The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not provide universal access to health care and that the United States has the most expensive health care system of any industrialized nation” (Marshner) should be a wake up call to every citizens. However, The United States government guarantees our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the Constitution. The right to life is as fundamental as it gets.
Holmes and Rahe notices that many patients, in particular those with heart disease, reported significant life events in the preceding year. They introduced the concept of a life event as a change in life circumstances requiring a degree of adjustment on the part of the individual. To rate the impact of different events they asked 394 people to compare 43 life events with marriage in terms of the degree of adjustment necessary. Death of a spouse was rated as the event that requires the most adjustment, and is therefore the most stressful with divorce and marital separation following but a long way behind. At the bottom was holidays and Christmas.
By using these specific words, Douthat is saying that the Democrats are not to be relied on or trusted. In his column, liberal Ronald Brownstein writes that demographics gave Obama the boost he needed to win the presidential election of 2012. He uses logos to demonstrate how demographics helped Obama win. He says that ever since 1992 Democrats have won the popular vote in four of the past five elections. He also writes that in
For instance, on April 20, 1992, President Bill Clinton was asked by the MTV generation to discuss his underwear, which turned out to be briefs, on a nationwide broadcast (Hart and Triece). Why would a man of such high standards burden himself this way? The answer is simple; in this modern world, things of such importance and immaturity seem to engage the public, which shows what drastic measures a president is willing to go to keep his people interested. Even though President Clinton might have made a fool out of himself on national television, not all the blame should be put on his shoulders. In this present time many of the standards for people have changed, and this includes presidents.
When I was watching Romney’s debates, he was talking about “Obamacare” is not good idea and his one could be better, but I agreed to what Obama had to say and he had some strong moments, particularly when he criticized Romney's plan to turn Medicare into a voucher-like program and noted that "Romneycare" looks an awful lot like "Obamacare." I agree with the President Obama that he's not only thinking about now he is thinking about future. Us students who need good teachers and good technology - without these things we cannot succeed. People should remember what reality is and think practically. They just cannot come and tell that they will cut taxes and provide cheap healthcare programme for
Going back to President Obama’s first run for the presidency, he used his Mom sickness as the means to better the cost of medical so others would not go without. I have looked up different prices of Obama care and they are harsh. Reading over the different rules and regulations of the Obama care in 2015, it states that the less you make, then the less you’re going to pay (Obama care Facts, no date).

Problems within the U.S. healthcare system Name Institution Problems within the U.S. healthcare system The United States healthcare system is facing numerous challenges at the moment. One of the central issues in the re-election campaign of 2012 is healthcare reform. The Supreme Court ruled recently to uphold the healthcare reformed championed by president Barrack Obama in the 2010 legislation, but the Republicans are wholly opposed to it. This may seem a straightforward political debate, but the healthcare situation is a big concern. Compared with other developed nations, America lags behind in the provision of quality and affordable healthcare to its citizens.
A person cannot survive without a heart, kidney, or liver, and if any of these organs would start to malfunction, the only hope is that an organ would become available through organ donation. “Every year, nearly 190,000 people suffer an injury or infection that causes their kidneys to stop working” (Marsa 1). Waiting for an organ can take years; some people do not have that much time to wait for an organ. Generally, assigning a person to the waiting list means the most severe medical cases are at the top. Continuing down the list, people will find patients that are at less of a risk for waiting.
Francisco Ibarra Govt II December 1, 2009 Americans and Elections As we know, presidential elections tend to have a certain amount of attraction even if you don’t really care for politics. The media always tries to put their own spin on it so it makes it look more enticing for people to see it and in turn they get ratings. The 2000 election was one of the closest elections seen, where George W. Bush beat Al Gore by a margin of less than one percent in the electoral votes. Many people believe that it was a mistake, Al Gore should have won. Four years down the road, its time to elect another president or re-elect the current one if he was a good choice before.
