To start off, I’m not a very political person. When someone usually mention politics, I immediately start thinking about government and politicians. This is probably the most common answer someone will get from most citizens. Another response you may get is that when someone says politics, people think of social relations between two or more parties. An example may include that one person may get a promotion because they know the right people in the company. Some other person may be upset by this and blame it on politics of the company. These are correct because describing politics is no easy feat. In class, today (8/31), we talked about how politics is a vague term and can be used in a couple of situations. I, personally, am not into politics. I feel like we as a country could get so much more done in a quicker time if we didn’t always argue on what laws and policies to pass, or who should be our next president. As you can see after this past election America has been on a downward spiral socially. Everyone is now complaining and taking sides for or against our president. This is not a good condition to be in as a country is this time and place. While we have the threats of ISIS and North Korea at our doorstep we should be united as a country in stopping these threats. Instead the President of the United States is dealing with protests and riots on top of all the international threats. Don’t get me wrong though, I don’t feel as if we should be a
This is a reflective essay based on a event which took place in a hospital setting. The aim of this essay is to explore how members of the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) worked together and communicate with each other to achieve the best patients outcome.
Rules is a great book that allows its readers to view autism from a perspective not commonly shown. Catherine’s perspective varied from being a protective sister to being neglected child. After reading the incident with Ryan on pages 29-31, I was inspired by Catherine’s dedication to protect David. Catherine tends to worry about how others view her brother and this causes her to very defensive, even when people are not trying to be more or pick at David. For example, Catherine got upset when Kristi turned on the music and asked David to dance with her.
“Each funeral was a funeral for all of us”: Notions of Race, Identity and Mortality in Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
As part of my Business Innovation Development Project Unit, I had the opportunity to put myself into group with my friends or people I believed I could work well with. In the first stages of our group we all tried to get to know each other more through analysing personality and learning types’ test that we previously undertook. I realise we were going through the normal stages of the team formation in particular forming and norming (Tuckman, 1965). In my assignment group we had all Belbin team roles which helped us perform well throughout our project and also helped us to identify other team members’ behavioural strengths and weaknesses. During the initial stages of the group getting together I believed it was
An element that I found in the poem “They” that resonated with me was that the war changed them completely. It brought changes physically and mentally. No one came back the same and many people changed for the worse. I can just image the effect of seeing death so close every day but it is different to actually live through it. The poem states “When the boys come back, They will not be the same; for they’ll have fought” (Greenblatt 2023) Those lines make me think of how much we overreact to the small things when in reality people are giving up their lives to fight for my good-being.
Vital signs are a fundamental component of nursing care and indicate the body’s ability to maintain blood flow, regulate temperature and regulate oxygenate the body tissue. Taking vital signs are essential in revealing any sudden changes in the body, which could potentially indicate clinical deterioration of the patient.
Due to the economic strife the American public knows all too well what a recession is. It is economic hardship that has led to the loss of thousands of jobs and businesses. This economic hardship has led to many people losing their homes, cars and other valuables. Why is it that when the Obama administration talks about the recession they refer to it as “The Bank Stabilization Plan.” (Stewart) Something that has caused the total meltdown of the American Economy being referred to as “The Bank Stabilization Plan” (Stewart) seems outright ludicrous. Even if they are in the process of fixing the problem, the government insists on using modest language to confuse the public into believing that the issue is not a huge problem; Just a
This essay is a reflective essay on my learning development from a young age through to my current position as a University Student. I will be relating my learning development back to two theories of human development, Vygotstsky’s socio-cultural theory and Marcia’s version of Erikson’s theory of identity development. I will identify and discuss the challenge I have faced with my identity and how this has impacted on my development.
Upon entering my first semester at Southern Nazarene University I could not have told you my political ideology. I knew what my opinions, observations, expectations, and ideals were, but did not know the proper ideology that would define them. Through several courses that I have taken, I have become more informed as to the role that I would like to see the government take throughout society as a whole and in the economy. Upon reading the section of ideology in American Government and Politics Today: the Essentials I learned that the correct term for my ideology is right-wing Conservatism. I would like to see the government take action if necessary in the economy, yet let

From the time I was a little girl I was always interested in politics. At the age of four I began attending school board meeting with my grandfather, by the time I turned 10 I frequented city hall meeting so often most of the Aldermen knew me by name. My love for politics carried over into my college carrier, but as I sat in American Government, national security, and political philosophy, nothing grasped my attention as much as the subject matter of state and local government. Growing up I understood the impact of state and local government, but some how still fell into the common notion that the federal government holds all the power. After the course my passion for politics on a state level grew, I participated in the Tennessee State Intercollege Legislature, and had the opportunity t to experience first hand how senate and house committees work. With state and local government I just scratch the surface of how municipals work, with this course I hope to further my understanding on how urban municipals operate as well as increase my political savvy and literacy. In addition to what I hope to lean in a more educational sense, I hope to in prove on my time management. This is not a physical class, but I will have to stay as focused and detected to this class just as much as I do the others.
Political science includes a wide range of topics that attempts to describe and explain the political process, politics, and the relationship among governments. As American citizens we should all be informed and be educated about all these above topics. We as citizens cannot be unconscious of our government as the government can make or break our lives. The general areas of study in political science include American government and politics, political theory, public administration, public law, comparative politics and international relations.
With careful research done I recognize myself as a Liberal. Some of the stuff that exerted my views to the left was the safety of the environment, fairness to humans, and the ability to have comfortable freedom.
My first experience with politics was during the 2008 Presidential election. At that time I felt very strongly for Mitt Romney and was deeply saddened by his defeat. Because of this loss, I vowed to take the powers vested in me by the Constitution to make sure the US does not elect Obama, making the same mistake. He is a mistake because I consider him a failure. He has decreased the value of life for many citizens and ruined America’s healthcare system. I have become educated about current events as well as followed the political campaigns, to which I hope will be evident in the next section.
Politics. It is possibly the most hated word in the English language. Most people hate politics and government without really knowing what they are. Many different definitions of politics exist. One definition defines politics as the conflict between groups over something they both want. Another similar definition calls politics the "who gets what, when, and how." Government is defined as the institution that has the enforceable right to control people’s behavior. But why do people hate politics and politicians? Is it because politicians cannot be trusted, or maybe because they spend too much money? Whatever the reasons are for hating politics and government, both are needed as a mechanism for people to protect themselves. Possibly, if
