United States should adopt certain aspects of a welfare state similar to the Europeans and also have more progressive tax rates. I believe that universal health care and education are essential parts in a welfare state while some other programs like unemployment benefits are not as important. First I will first explain why the government has a moral responsibility to help the people they govern. Next, how the European healthcare system is much more effective than the Americans and we should adopt how
Role of Government in Education What are the roles of federal and state government when it comes to American education? The roles of education have evolved from historic liabilities to current liabilities. There are many laws and cases that have had an impact on American education that still has a strong influence on education today such as the debate between church and state, racial desegregation, and education finances. Other impacts as relevant are testing standards and special education programs
Throughout the history of civilization, education has been an important tool in shaping an individual as well as the society that the individual is a part of. In the older civilizations, only the elite upper class had access to education. This kept these people at the top of the social ladder, and suppressed the common people who did not have access to the same education as the nobles. We have come a long way since then, with every child having access to a free high school degree. However, there
In this following essay I will explain why I believe we should give the native americans money for our governments acts against them. Due to the recent 1800s, I've learned how harsh and devastating it was for the Natives to move out of there so called “homes.” I've realized the aftermath of what our government did and now understand the government had damaged their communities and how their industry went down and destroyed many future for the Natives.

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) was formed in 2006. This government agency, previously known as the Office of Indian Education Programs, controls the direction and curriculum for all Indian schools as well as managing the funding. Three legislative acts developed the roles of the BIE. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 and The Education Amendments Act of 1978. The only more recent legislation was The No Child Left Behind
In 2016, only 55.5% of American voters turned out to vote in the 2016 election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. (Voter Turnout in the United States Presidential Elections.) The fact that these statistics are only based on American voters makes many people wonder how much of an impact it would make if immigrants voted as well. But here is the catch: immigrants cannot vote at all in the United States unless they are actual citizens of the United States, and this is one of the problems Project
Illegal Immigration: Too Large a Burden on America “Households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than 26.3 billion dollars in costs on the federal government…and paid only 16 billion dollars in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost 10.4 billion dollars, or two thousand seven hundred dollars per illegal household” (Miller 1). Some people would argue that immigrants come to America to take jobs that no one else will do, but the illegal immigrants are in fact draining social services
Proposed Education Policy is a Good Idea In America, “college tuition cost have skyrocketed since the middle 20th century, rising by 1,120 percent between 1978 and 2012,” ( Resnikoff). Tution at selective private colleges and universities has risen by two or three percent annually, which is more than the rate of inflation says Ronald Ehrenberg the Irving M.

telling us that education is so important. If it is then why doesn’t the Federal Government spend more money on education?The Federal Government doesn’t spend enough money on education. In 2015 they spent only 2.67 % of their funds on education. They Federal Government should spend more money on education. For one, the Federal Government should subsidize teachers pay in each state.
