Politicians promise to make better the system, to create new job opportunities, and to give people the lives they deserve. However, most of them are not able to keep their promises and this has made people lose their faith in the government. Hillary Clinton promises to protect women’s rights, enact an immigration reform and prevent gun violence to help America progress with their economic and social status.
Within the past 50 years, there has been an increasing amount of women in the government. Whether these women hold powerful positions such as Secretary of State, or hold minor positions such as PTA President, a political revolution is brewing. The United States of America is lacking substantially with regards to females in office, in fact if one were to look statistically at the amount of women in the government, the United States is failing tremendously. Although the United States likes to claim that they are the land of opportunities, it seems as if the only ones reaping those benefits are cis white males. But, there are women who choose to break the glass ceiling and attempt to explore the opportunities that are in front of them, and one
She has also put her agenda to strengthen unions and protect workers bargaining power. Hillary wants to protect the worker from employer misclassification, wage theft and other various forms of exploitations. She will fight for all hard working americans should deserve a secure and comfortable retirement plan.
Although there are many candidates in the presidential campaign of 2016, we citizens focus most on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. They both make efforts to demonstrate ethos or credibility in their presidential bios. Furthermore, they both stress their reputations/expertise and authority to persuade the people that they are worthy to lead the nation. As Republican Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had stated in Hillary’s bio, she “ ran the State Department in the most effective way that I’ve ever seen.” From this feedback, she showed that she can work under the conditions of the government and still go over expectations. This is a valuable skill that is claimed useful for a president and in the end, she is capable
In one corner we have Hilary Clinton, if she wins than she would be the first female president for the U.S (which would be a big achievement for women hear at the U.S), but no good will come from that. Here are some examples of why. When her husband was governor, she took a $100,000 bribe that was paid to her via shifty dealings. She has done nothing that has made her qualified to be the president, the only reason she got elected for senator of New York was because her husband was president once. She became Secretary of State and did
“You have to be true to yourself” (BrainyQuote). This is a quote by Hillary Rodham Clinton, a very important woman in the decade of the 1990s. Many events occurred in the 1990s that still impact the entire world today.
Hilary Clinton has been called many slanderous things: controversial, a cheater, and a corrupt emailer . However, American voters should take into consideration her potential as a grandiloquent leader. Hilary Clinton has several years of political experience due to her being the first lady during her husband’s 1992 presidential run . In addition to this, she has served as the United States’ Secretary of State from 2009-2013 , Arkansas First Lady , and as the United States Senator for New York from 2001 to 2009 . Her political influence can be compared to numerous female political figures such as Madeleine Albright , the first woman to be appointed as the United States Secretary of State or even “the Iron Lady”, Margaret Thatcher, who was Britain’s
In reality, however, women are equally and in some ways more qualified to hold leadership positions than men. Although there is no single explanation for why women are underrepresented in politics, the gender gap in the political arena stems from the lack of female participation in elections as women are often discouraged or feel threatened by society to run for political office. Young women who aspire a career in politics encounter both structural and emotional barriers, which prevent them from running for political office. Women battle issues of self-confidence, face stereotypes, and derive false perceptions of political campaigns, all of which broaden the gender gap in the political
Perhaps one of the most interesting times in a president’s administration is during the end of his term in office. Having reached the ultimate goal in a politician’s career, a president no longer has to worry about public opinion or any of the other political give and takes that usually influence a politician’s actions. He is truly free to act as he pleases almost free of consequences. Bill Clinton’s final days in office certainly demonstrated this fact. Using the ultimate unchecked executive power of clemency Clinton issued over 140 pardons and thirty six sentence commutations. He protected over a million acres of land through the creation of six new national monuments. He also nominated nine new federal
You know politics are completely out of whack when you have Political Party members calling their Candidate cancer. The act Hillary Clinton should’ve taken her to jail. After reading this article, I have come to find that most people in America vote for the party, not the person who is running for it. How before electoral college votes, Hillary was still up in the election after all she had done and contributed to the debt of the DNC, I have no idea.
of the system but she should help those who really need it. I want to believe that my vote really makes a difference,
Some people believe women are not socialized in a way that prepares them to hold political powers. Some view politics as a masculine domain. This is a gender stereotype. It is the public’s perception that women cannot make a difference in politics which is often influenced by the
Many people doubted women’s abilities to take care of the same issues that men handled. Nonetheless, over time, women have been able to spread awareness about their deserved rights; they have “established strong lobbying groups, won legislative and judicial victories, survived the defeat of the ERA, changed public attitudes about the equality of women, and helped overcome some of the gender imbalance in elective and appointive public office” (Women, 1961-present). Although equal rights have not been fully granted, women accomplished many feats in the past ninety years. Females have gained access to holding public office, with many of them reaching high positions. Women still must work to gain equal rights, but they have come a long way in terms of political
There have been many significant strides since 1970 when women occupied almost no major elective positions in U.S. political institutions. Today’s society has reflected remarkable changes in women’s equality and acceptance. In 2008, Hillary Clinton received 18 million votes when she fought for presidency of the Democratic Party . In 2011, Sarah Palin was listed at the top of her candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. However, women are consistently being underrepresented in the political world reaching beyond just the federal level. Clyde and Thomas attest the underrepresentation to two basic reasons: lack of political ambition as well as historic exclusion of women from professions that tend to lead toward the political arena . Three central barriers contribute to the difficult road ahead for the
Clinton promises she will work to ensure a fair and just immigration system. She is fighting for an America where every family has a sense of belonging. She believes it is important to keep families together and ensure a more human immigration enforcement system instead of breaking up hardworking, law-abiding
Much is made of the impact of leadership on an organisation. Theory has moved on from the idea of born leaders and specific traits that deliver effectiveness, to behavioural approaches and a distribution of the function through the organisation. ‘The Rise and Fall of Carly Fiorina’ (Johnson 2008) details Hewlett Packard’s recruitment of a celebrity CEO who took the organisation away from 60 years of distributed leadership, to implement an autocratic leadership style. This essay examines the case study and discusses elements of leadership and leadership failure. The continuum between task oriented and relational leadership is examined in the context of the scenario and a contrast is drawn between the autocratic leadership style employed and transformational leadership. While hindsight suggests the match between Hewlett Packard and the incoming CEO was hopelessly flawed, there is reason to blame Fiorina’s lack of emotional intelligence for a style completely at odds with organisational culture.
