Hierarchical Bureaucracies

The American Administrative Agencies are a series of Agencies that are controlled by the United States Government and combine traits from all three of the Government's Branches to make laws, execute laws and interpret laws and statues of the agencyi. As such, I feel that it holds a unique place in our Government and could be considered a Fourth Branch of Government not quite under control of any other branch. However, despite it's necessity for functioning of our current Government model, I feel that it is somewhat undemocratic and that certain steps should be taken in order to better maximize the peoples' voice inside the Administrative Agency. These steps include first making higher level employees have to be elected similar to the President

When the framers of the Constitution developed our government, they gave Congress the authority to create the departments necessary to carry out the day-to-day responsibilities of governing - the federal bureaucracy. The vast majority of the departments, agencies, and commissions that make up the federal bureaucracy today were created by Congress through legislative acts. Congress is unable to act in a bubble though, due to the nature of the system’s built-in checks and balances, Congress must first get the president’s “buy off” which is represented by his signature. Although Congress has the authority to create these agencies (with the president’s agreement

The institutions and traditions of American life have contributed to the growth of adversary culture, which protects the personal rights of people and the expansion of those rights.

PA can be seen as a as a dense twist of organizations and branches of government which need to relate to each other in order to serve the public needs of the society. Bureaucracy, as a result, is the internal engine of each public branch of government which coordinate and organize through rules and in a hierarchical way, all the administrators, as to provide an efficient system which is able to satisfy all the public demand of goods and services. However, most of the time it is subject to ridicule and condemnation by the citizens and the whole society for several reasons. Firstly, because of the overcrowded staff which permeate the entire bureaucratic system. This is a crucial problem which many of the governmental organizations are

The Constitution is a plan to help the government help the people. There are many events that helped form the Constitution, but here are a few; Shay’s Rebellion, The Stamp, Sugar, and Quartering Acts, The Revolutionary War, and the First Constitutional Convention. The Constitution once worked for the United States, but we have since expanded. We have advanced technologically, we have a risk of an aristocracy, and the Constitution doesn’t give everyone representation.

Woll views the bureaucracy as the center of governmental power because agencies exercise legislative, judicial, and executive functions, and because of how strongly administration and politics are intertwined. Woll argues that contrary to popular thought, the President and Congress have infrequent control over the administrative process. Agencies make definite decisions that carry out vague policy initiated in Congress or by the President. Agencies also offer expert advice and are receptive to interested pressure groups. Not only do agencies determine the policies that the legislative and executive branches recommend, but the agencies affect the policy-making process through the decisions they make.

I selected this passage because it evidently displayed a connection to the theme of power hierarchies, moreover displays Rasheed’s character. Here it is shown Rasheed never calling his daughters by her name because he is ashamed to have a daughter. In countries such as Afghanistan baby boys were thought highly of and everyone wanted a baby boy. Rasheed being a typical sexist Afghan man wanted they same, a son, asz a result of not getting the son he wanted, he treats his daughter disrespectfully.A boy born in the family hold significance and is more meaningful for the family in preference to a baby girl. In countries like Afghanistan people have children for the sole purpose of having boys and if the opposite occurs they are treated poorly. Women as a result to this inequality are treated lowly and are thought differently than men. Although, Aziza

There are many pathologies present in the American bureaucracy and bureaucratic agencies. The major pathologies are red tape, conflict, duplication, imperialism, and waste. Each of these pathologies had at least some sort of roots in the case of the 9/11/01 terrorist attack. Had these pathologies not been prominent in the pre-9/11 bureaucratic government, it is very likely that our intelligence communities would not have failed to detect the terrorists.

Instead of having Congress, and the president accomplish all the tasks within the national government, some task are often delegated to various corporations and agencies. Whenever a policy or a program is created by the federal government, they depend upon the different bureaucracies to monitor it (Thisnation.com). The bureaucrats are often prescribed strict guidelines, by congress regarding the implementation of the new laws, and programs (Thisnation.com). There are four main bureaucracies within the United States, which includes: independent agencies, government corporations, departments, and independent regulatory commissions (Thisnation.com).

The Executive Branch is most commonly associated with the role of the President. There are many different types of departments under the president that he directly monitors. Among those departments, certain responsibilities are handed out to maintain and regulate what is done with our nuclear weapons. The Executive Branch Departments that monitor and make strategic decisions involving nuclear weapons in the United States are the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Homeland Security. Each of these departments have individual key roles that regulate the nuclear weapons our country currently has as well as foreign countries.

Just a few short decades ago, bureaucratic-authoritarian (BA) regimes were a common feature of many Southern Cone states. Economic crises in the 1960s and 1970s gave rise to military regimes that ultimately abandoned import-substituting, inward-looking developmental models in favor of neoliberal, outward-looking strategies (Kurtz, 142). Market liberalization and participation in the global economy became state priorities, a significant departure from policies that focused on production for the domestic market under more leftist regimes. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the effects of a fundamental

Dalman and Lei have a problem that should have never happened. Team leaders were overlooking the employees at each site, and the managers were overlooking the entire crew at each site. Having a control system in place for Sandwich Blitz Inc. will alleviate any future problems that may appear. There are four steps to a control system of which Dalman and Lei need to learn in order for their business to run smoothly. The steps include setting performance standards, measuring performance, comparing performance against the standards and determining deviations, and taking action to correct problems and

As the book states, the departmental agencies operate under the President’s Cabinet and the independent agencies operate without the oversight of Cabinet’s secretary. With the Senate consent, The President appoints Cabinet secretaries as well as the heads of independent agencies. Although the independent agencies are a part of the Executive Branch, they are, or should be, independent of presidential control. Departmental agencies are under a direct control of the President.

Why do some people love their jobs and some people dread going to work every day? If you think it because of the pay, you will be surprised. Not only is pay not the main factor in workplace satisfaction, it is not even one of the top five reasons people are happy in their jobs according to a recent survey by JobDig. So, if it isn't money that makes people happy at their jobs, what is it? Would you believe that the secret is "lifestyle"? When your job is in alignment with who you are, there is happiness. When your job conflicts with the things you find important, the result is stress and workplace displeasure.
