Social Issues

Throughout the entire world there are issues with our societies brought upon by the lack of clear thinking and/or compassion. Many of these issues may not be problems necessarily but just topics discussed when the word “issue” is brought up. One can clearly compare our society to the society described in Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World. In this novel the society Huxley has created is meant to be a utopia, made up of a hierarchy known as the caste system. Social classes in both societies create issues due to the fact that everyone has always had different standings in society.

When the Preamble starts, it says "We the People", that is talking about every citizen in the United States of America. The Preamble also states the goals that the Instead States wanted to have.

“We the people” is a phrase that was first coined in the American Constitution. The Constitution is a crucial part towards the foundation of the American government and its established system of checks and balances. In a majority of societies all over the world, the government has always been viewed as the powerhouse and reliable source for a country’s decision-making process. Another similar source of official government documentation exists in the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was written by the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. During that time period that Jefferson seemed to be the most significant towards the political spectrum, America was just about to enter a birth of a new

“We the people…” the first three words of our constitution have changed in meaning and who the “people” represent also has changed over time. The U.S constitution laid out the framework for the future government of our country, everything from the branches of our government to our rights as U.S citizens. As our country has evolved from the institution of the constitution to our modern-day country, the representation of the “the people” has expanded and changed in the years since the establishment of the U.S constitution.

Taxes are an important aspect of the American economy. Due to the vital role taxes play, it is a controversial issue among politicians especially between fiscal Republicans and Democrats. As a result, tax policies fluctuate as a president leaves and a new one takes his place. For example, Republican President Ronald Reagan and Democratic President Bill Clinton had a different approach on how to revive the American economy. Despite the differences between their tax policies, Reagan and Clinton share some similarities regarding their tax system. All in all, Democratic President Bill Clinton and Republican President Ronald Reagan's created tax policies that have similarities and differences.

Social issues have plagued the women and minorities of our country for decades upon decades, degrading them as if emotions and morals were not evident amongst them. The article entitled "Affirmative Action" states that as representation of minorities and women became more and more necessary, a movement called "affirmative action" became an important issue. Affirmative action is not limited to the uplifting of certain genders and races, but it focuses on establishing standards of certain ethical codes. Affirmative action concentrates on a broad array of issues including equal opportunity, systematic exclusion, and diversity.

I learned that in the beginning the Catholic Church provided human services. They supplied services for the poor, orphans, the elderly, and people with disabilities. People with deviant behaviors would be put into asylums.

He formally addresses the people of the nation by saying “your tranquility... your peace… your prosperity” all in an effort to create a sense of ownership that can be felt by the people. Repetition combined with encouraging diction gives the American people a sense of pride to have a nation run “by the people and for the people,” just as the constitution states. He continues to expand upon these democratic beliefs in the later part of the speech. He compares the United States to surrounding nations by focusing on how opposing nations are “tied together by similar governments” and how their governments are “inauspicious to liberty.” In this he looks to convey to the American people that they are fortunate to live in a free nation, and not be citizens of a monarchy like that of the nation they freed themselves

Similar to Bush, Barrack Obama’s inaugural speech considers the American people a crucial force within democracy that must be nurtured and encouraged to use their good will to create a more balanced, enriched nation. In a time when international relations were causing uncertainty at best, Obama looked to the theme of the American mission greatly during his speech. Being the first non-Caucasian president, there was a

In between Rebekah’s bookends laid out all of Obama’s ambitions and national priorities for the year. It transitions into burdensome situation that American workers are facing like how to provide childcare for employed women and the working class’s demand for a rise in the minimum wage. It discussed Obama’s proposal for free community college so “student debt doesn’t derail anyone’s dreams.” From there, the address shifted into the deliberation of updating cyber-security based on recent worrisome events. The centerpiece of the president 's address was the democratic tax proposal that increases the capital gains rate on couples making more than $500,000 annually to 28 percent. From there, the address segued, into the topic of humanity rights, and the increasing warmer temperatures in the environment. Finally, the address returned back to the underlying grand themes of America and its people. Obama managed to present these main points of his agenda without resembling a grocery list; the successful utilized pattern allowed for smooth transitions throughout.

Twisted explores current social issues such as bullying and rumors which is great for readers to relate to and empathize with. The story essentially follows a boy named Tyler, the narrator, throughout his year in hell also known as senior year. We learn that Tyler (on page 2 of Twisted) had gone from “Nerd Boy” into “Tyler the Amazing Hulk”, a “somebody”, after he had spray-painted the schools walls and proceeded to be caught. He was put on probation & made required to work (this led to Tyler’s body image improving which got the attention of his dream girl.) Tyler goes into senior year unequipped for the struggles to follow which include harassment from his dream girls (Bethany) brother (Chip): (pg. 18) “instead of a friendly pat, he smacked me as hard as he could.

These implications are most common among alcoholics. Unfortunately, the alcoholics themselves do not realize this until they have gone through treatment. The most troubling social implication is the loss of family and dysfunction. “Comparisons between alcoholic and normal families have revealed that families of alcoholics are more troubled and dysfunctional” (Rotunda, R., Scherer, D., & Imm, P., 1995). I believe one can overcome most of the social implications that are listed, but it is difficult to repair the damage one causes their family. I know the result of damaging family relations as my sister has become an alcoholic. She refuses to accept that she is an

Andrew Mellon’s plan contained his four main points of what he thought the government should do in order to better the economy. First, he said that it was necessary to cut the top income tax rate to 25 percent. This was done in order to produce more revenue for the government. Melon believed that high-earning investors would pay no more than this percentage before they locked their money into tax-exempting bonds. Mellon’s tax cuts, which cut the top income tax to 24 percent, brought the income revenue to over a billion dollars in 1929. The increased revenue proved that these tax cuts were successful.

A social problem is a condition that at least some people in a community views as being undesirable. Everyone would agree about some social problems, such as murders and DWI traffic deaths. Other social problems may be viewed as such by certain groups of people. Teenagers who play loud music is a public park obviously do not view as a problem, but some other people may consider it an undesirable social condition. Some nonsmoker views smoking as an undesirable social condition that should be banned in public buildings.
