In addition, the States had socially influenced Canada greatly, in terms of culture. Canada did gain some political independence, hampered by the fact that Canada depended on the United States for much of its social and economic success. Canada’s prime minister, Mackenzie King, did not follow the regular rules set by Britain. Instead he refused to send Canadian troops with Britain to invade Turkey in 1922. (Cranny p.55) Normally, when Britain went to war, Canada would automatically be at war as well, but King took a big step in not following orders from the mother country.
This was established to ensure that our representatives could be renewed as often as needed to reflect the public’s beliefs. Proponents for term limitations feel that officials can become corrupt and abusive of their position. These groups wish to limit the overall time that an official can hold office to ensure that new blood will be able to inject new ideas and beliefs. The opposite to this thought is that by injecting new blood we will lose the experienced politicians that know how to get things done in the complex world of politics. There is a sharp learning curve that comes with holding
Why and how do US Pressure Groups attempt to influence election results? US pressure groups attempt to influence election results to get sympathisers into power and monitor how these individuals use the power. William Storey sums up the reason why Pressure groups try and get influence an election into two goals, the first is to help sympathetic people win elections. The second is to make sure those elected help use their power to advance the agenda of the group that helped them win. 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.
Comparing Canada’s and the United States’ government system, we can see just how different they are from each other. With Canada, they have a responsible government, where the executive functions at will of the legislative body. This type of government is the best way to maintain stability, because if the government wants to create a bill, it has to be passed by the House of Commons. However if that bill does not pass, then the Parliament would have a vote of non-confidence. If they get a majority in favour of non-confidence, then the prime minister must call an election.
Our government should be able to temporarily restrict our liberties for the well being and safety of all its citizens. The liberties that we have give us power such as freedom of speech this right I and of itself is a powerful authority. Freedom of speech can reveal government secrets and possible weaknesses that can be used to destabilize the government. We as humans know that surviving is a priority and that to survive we will do anything like reveal secrets to gain sanctuary from another country to survive the wrath of other countries. This can be true with Snowden revealing secrets.
I believe fear and people being scared is among the most likely causes of conflict. In relation to the issue of radicalised Australian teenagers fighting in the Middle East for the Islamic State, I’m convinced that they are fighting because they are scared and fear their own religion being defeated and fear losing to other nations in war. If these teens didn’t have the fear they did, they wouldn’t have chosen the path of fighting for an extremist group of terrorists. While at the heart of conflict is fear, at the heart of fear is conflict. Fear is defined as being an emotion generated by a threat perceived by living entities which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behaviour, such as running away, hiding or freezing from traumatic events.
When those in power face challenges to their rule, conflict may force them to commit horrific acts of cruelty and repression. When a power-hungry leader faces conflict which poses a challenge to his/her position, he/she may resort to unthinkable acts to secure his/her position. The desire for power and fear of the consequences of losing power may force someone in a position of power to turn into a cruel dictator. During the 2011 Syrian uprising, Syria’s leader committed repeated human rights abuses to cling to his power. President Bashar al-Assad, a western-trained optician and once viewed as a reformer, ordered the military to fire on protesters, with nearly 3,000 killed in the conflict.
III. I bet many of you would say, “Oh, I hate this noisy guy and we should sent him to a night club or other places.” Preview Statement: It seems that none of us would welcome a noisy guy in the dorm room. Therefore, if we want to be a good roommate, we should learn to be quiet in the dorm room. Transition: Today I will show you why you should not make any noise in the dorm room when it is bedtime. I.
57). If leaders of government imposed regulations on the people, he believed this would hamper society’s growth and the people would not maintain the highest level of happiness. This demonstrates a good leader should empower the people to become more independent and to instill trust in the people to make the right choice. Machiavelli, a totalitarian thinker, believed that a leader should maintain a dictatorship rule with complete power by any means necessary without regard to the people’s expectations. He states, “Hence it is necessary for a prince who wishes to maintain his position to learn how not to be good, and to use this knowledge or not to use it according to necessity” (38, ver.
Another way of looking at it is to look throughout history. To control the people is to instill fear in their hearts. Some leaders that controlled and banned the weapons of their people are Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and the communist party chairman of the People’s Republic of China, Mao Tse- Tung all took away the citizen’s guns to have total control of their country. These are just some examples of leaders that wanted gun control. Saying that a revolution may happen is not the scariest part of gun control, if the government did succeed to limit guns in
