Challenges Facing The United States

Innovation has been a topic that has dominated the main conversation across many organizations. How can governments reshape their role and redesign the existing systems they have and renew the benefits from the creation and development of individual processes. The recession of 2008 has created opportunities and has demanded things be done differently. Gone are the times when problems are solved with endless resources and labor to work their way to a solution. The energy has been refocused to determine the best solution to the different array of issues facing any organization. The national debate has begun to reveal strategies that have reiterations of the most prominent theories and suggestions related to problem solving and a devotion to avoiding crisis. Municipality’s revenues have diminished, leadership and experienced workers have retired, and the push to change and progress is paramount, while assets and resources have been cut or are nonexistent. The key phrase of “doing more with less” has been engrained in every employee in the public sector who was fortunate enough to of avoiding the painful reduction in force policies that have contributed to the demise of the communities. These organizations have been cut deep and are left with employees that faced lost wages, decreasing financial securities and trust that represents the culture and values of these organizations. The changes necessary to reverse the demise of these organization demands collaboration and a change

In a 2015 article, “Is U.S. military becoming outdated?” written by Stuart Bradin, Keenan Yoho, and Meaghan Keeler-Pettigrew, the authors argued that despite the U.S. military maintaining a position of global dominance “without peer” during conventional operations, it is not the ideal force against current and future threats. The authors claim that there are several negative factors arising due to the past sixteen years of war against several state and non-state elements, inferior cultural differences of government bureaucracy compared to commercial firms, and a misallocation of defense spending that leaves the US military waging war inefficiently while simultaneously losing technological dominance against current and future threats.

From the time when the first English colonies were established in North America until now, there has been some form of armed fighting force in place to protect the interests of the United States and its colonial progenitors. During the roughly four centuries in which this fighting force has existed, it has undergone numerous changes of varying degrees of significance. Technological advances have changed the nature of both defensive and offensive warfare, political advances have changed the nature of the relationship between the civilian population and its protectors, and geostrategic shifts have changed the role of the United States military with respect to the rest of the world. The most lasting and meaningful changes have occurred

We all know America is a diversify country. All different type of people with different races, culture,religion, and life styles are living here since decades. We all faces different types of challenges differently but today my essay will address challenge that we as an American face in our lives. My essay will explain it's causes and how badly it could impact on American reputation. Consumption of Alcohol in an excessive amount and creating social issues is getting worst in our homes, family and society.

Today American citizens undeniably face some of the nation’s greatest challenges. No matter the issue, there will be consequences as a result. A great issue as voted by most Americans is believed to be the high percentage rate of unemployment. Unemployment is a distressingly bad aspect, and unfortunately it is a daily normality and struggle for most individuals. There are a plethora of reasons why unemployment is intensively high; frictional, structural and voluntary unemployment for example, serve as major purposes to the leading cause of high unemployment. Frictional unemployment occurs from the amount of time spent in finding new employment in the free market. For example, a recent university graduate may not necessarily expect to find a job of their expertise and skills right away therefore the job hunt continues. This also occurs whereas people choose to be unemployed rather than accepting the first job that comes around or are in between jobs because they have become inessential or simply looking for a better, beneficial career. Structural unemployment occurs due to inconsistent labor skills such as occupational immobility where learning a new skill required for a certain occupation is complicated. For example an unemployed mechanic will struggle to find an occupation in the medical industry because of the difference in occupational knowledge. Geographical immobility

One of the most important responsibilities of our nation is to protect and serve its citizens. As the new millennium begins, our nation must overcome many challenges that affect this responsibility. Three of the most important are terrorism, illiteracy, and the lack of moral values.

One of the biggest challenges facing America is poverty. At 14.5%, the poverty rate is a great obstacle over forty-five million Americas must overcome. Many of these people struggle to find jobs that can keep them above the poverty level. It not about creating the most jobs, but creating the jobs that have good pay and benefits. America has a pretty impressive un-employment rate hovering around 5%. But many of those workers struggle to make a living on the minimum wage. Minimum wage is set for first time workers. Many companies can get away with paying minimum wage because of the demand for jobs. It is nearly impossible to a family below the poverty line on one minimum wage income. In order to get those living beneath the poverty line we must

The United States spends roughly $600 billion a year on defense, more than the rest of the other great powers combined. More impressive is that this massive expenditure is still essentially being done on the relative cheap. Defense spending today is at a rate of approximately 4% of GDP annually, a percentage that, while higher than those of other great powers, is lower than the rate of 10% of GDP spent in the mid-1950s and the 7% spent in the late 1980s . This is a fact that is overlooked by proponents of retrenchment. For example, Eugene Gholz, Daryl Press and Harvey Sapolsky’s “Come Home, America,” an article advancing retrenchment was published in 1997, a point where U.S. defense spending was near a fifty-year low at 3% of GDP . Military spending, however, is not the best device through which to frame capacity as it is ultimately a voluntary action on the part of the state, and as such is inherently variable. But, taken over time, it reveals something integral: long-term investment in the capacity to generate military power. Indeed, the United States over the span of decades has accumulated military capabilities nearly impossible for any state to match. This is especially the case in the modern world given the increased complexity of weapons systems and their long-term development process. If anything, simply using defense spending numbers underestimates the global military gap . By using Barry Posen’s “command of the commons” as a framework for an analysis of comparative power potential, it becomes clear that the capacity of the United States military remains unmatched. For Posen, command of the global commons-the sea, space, and air- is “the key military enabler of the US global power position” allowing the United States to project its power far from its border. In his analysis of each “common” Posen uses multiple indicators, such as number aircraft carriers and

The general capabilities of joint force 2025 I believe necessary to rebalance the force based on the current strategic direction, and global security environment is the global surveillance and strike (GSS) network, increased naval and air investments and increased investment in cyber technology. The GSS system would allow the U.S. military to strike quickly and remain engaged for increased periods of time while additional forces are moved to the area of concern. Naval and air investments are critical. The Navy and Air Force allows us to project power to areas of the world far from our base of operations. Air power also enables us to provide support for ground forces and deterrence and denial of enemy forces. Cyber investments are critical because cyber technology will increasingly be the engine that runs our future military and allows us to attack adversary’s cyber networks and infrastructure.

The opportunities and challenges in today’s economy that have affected USA Today are the same challenges that are affecting its competitors. Therefore, USA has had to battle not only its competitors but the environment in which it thrives.

In life you are bound to face constant challenges, whether you want to be or not. What is important is how you handle yourself in the face of those challenges. Should you shy away and let the challenges beat you or should you face them, thoroughly accomplish them, and become a greater person due to the trial that you endured? These are the experiences in life that mean the most. People in my life challenged me and presented opportunities since they knew I could handle it and that it would help to shape my character. Others may need the same push in recognizing the challenges that will help them and the encouragement to participate in them. Challenging others in the same manner that you have been challenged is incredibly important. If only a few people change, then the world shall remain stagnant. You can question your friends and push them to learn or you can question the status quo, as I have attempted with the research I have conducted during my undergraduate career. I have come to think positively about challenge in two ways: to face challenges head-on and with fortitude and to challenge others, from your peers to the status quo.

The United States has a huge number of military obligations. Notably, the US is the largest and most influential military in the NATO alliance, meaning that any attack on any NATO nation is considered an attack on the US. The US also has various defence agreements with Australia, the Philippines, many Southeast Asian nations, and a large number of Latin American Nations. Because of the United States’s huge military obligations, it has to maintain an large, powerful, and constantly active military. To do this, the US spends 4.35% of its GDP on military activities, totalling in at nearly 800 billion USD annually.

There are a number of opportunities and challenges in today’s economy, that has an affect and still is affecting USA Today. Marketers are no longer able to control and manipulate their customers as they once did in the past. USA today is one of the largest print newspapers read, however, their is a decline in of printed readerships (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014).

We are caught in a time of our nation 's history when misfortunes, mismanagement, corruption, and leftwing ideology come together in a powerful concurrence of circumstances that leave our once dynamic nation at risk for disaster.

Transforming America’s defense for the 21st century will require a longstanding commitment from our country and its leaders. Transformation is an endeavor that must be embraced in earnest today. The challenges the Nation faces involve
