The new president took a leading role in the world in which popularity became its main ally. Especially in Europe, Kennedy represented the figure of a different leader, the image of a new time; A sort of king with a contemporary cut type. The programs of the new president seemed to want to turn the politics of the Republicans, who put the weight of their actions in the political relations with the towns. Kennedy's policy was for economic and cultural relations. Kennedy relied on the formula of global responsibilities to defend the interests of the United States in the
Kennedy had adviced progressive taxation, anti-crime bills, the extension of social welfare, and more low-cost public housing. “He had also proposed new social programs such as medical care to the elderly, urban mass transit department of urban affairs regional development in Appalachia and federal aid to educate” (history.com). Though the department of urban affairs had been rejected and the major medical program for the elderly being shut down, he still was able to manage minimum wage for the community. Though his attempts to act taxes and broaden civil rights were watered down, he changes his attitude towards religion, He was the first Catholic president so he has loosen up to advance Jews into high government
Kennedy’s structure of foreign policy was much different from Eisenhower’s foreign policy. During the Eisenhower years, America had a detailed national security structure, with a “massive retaliation” idea, while Kennedy was more informal, with his “flexible answer”, which I think fit his New Frontier model. After the rigid structure of Eisenhower, Kennedy and his advisors wanted a new, less formal way of dealing with international affairs. He was an activist, who was very popular with generations both young and old, and I think that he brought a new idea of informality to the way the White House worked. For example, he preferred to work directly with the officers in the Department of State, and he relied on his assistant for national security affairs, McGeorge Bundy, instead of the usual Operations Coordinating Board. In dealing with crises, and seeking advice, Kennedy had a small number of close advisors that were also his friends, one of which was his brother Robert Kennedy, the attorney general (Miller Center).
Kennedy called his new legislation program the “New Frontier,” with which he planned to promote educational support, aid to health care, redevelopment in cities and civil rights. However, he wasn’t able to keep many of these promises; Congress refused the pass most of his proposals, including a medical plan for the elderly, tax reductions, and more civil rights. He concentrated on promoting present civil rights, sometimes dispatching troops to enforce racial integration in schools. Although action to improve civil rights and health care wasn’t very successful, Kennedy still managed to improve the economy (e.g. Increasing minimum wage) and negotiate a limited ban on nuclear testing.
The Kennedy administration foreign policies were less rigid and had an ideological approach. His policies displayed and promoted ‘Liberalism, Diplomacy and Military action’. His Foreign policies were popularly
The 20th century consisted of many difficult and controversial foreign policy decisions. From President Jimmy Carter, elected in 1977, to President Ronald Regan elected in 1981. Carter attempted at peacemaking efforts to help bring stability to the Middle East, but faced the challenge of the Iran Hostage Crisis in 1979. He shaped his foreign policy through integrity, morality, and honest, to bring trust in the government to the American citizens as the previous president, Richard Nixon made the people lost their trust in the government. Ronald Regan supported a conservative foreign policy and greatly increased military spending, putting the United States in huge deficit. Ronald Regan is also given credit for the end of the Cold War, and
For my rhetorical paper, I decide to select Senator John F. Kennedy as my candidate, because I felt that John. F Kennedy was very effective and confident in answering the questions. I felt that John F. Kennedy’s overall target audience are those who believes in freedom and supports the Democratic party. Also, individuals who agree that the Congress should give medical aid to the aged, a comprehensive minimum hourly wage bill, and federal aid to education. I feel that the purpose and goal that John F. Kennedy wanted to achieve is to make America strong by promoting freedom, good leadership, and getting other countries to view America as a strong country like China and Khrushchev as Kennedy stated “I want people in Latin America and Africa

The actions the President had taken for both serious world situations allowed the country to judge and watch Kennedy’s every move in dealing with his handling of the problem. Kennedy was popular man to many citizens within the U.S but to some he posed as threat and must needed to be taken down.
When the World War II finally ended, the United States was the most powerful country the history has ever witnessed. Politically, economically, and militarily, the United States possessed an unmatched power. The Soviet Union soon built a comparable nuclear force but was far behind economically. The enormous power the United States possessed forced it to assume the responsibility of leading the Western world in the struggle against Communism around the world. To understand and properly evaluate the leadership of Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and John Fitzgerald Kennedy, it is necessary to keep in mind this historical development, as it provides a context for understanding specific leadership styles and policies these presidents adopted. Both international affairs and domestic concerns influenced the actions and leadership styles of Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. George Moss's Vietnam: an American Ordeal makes it clear that Eisenhower was a strong and decisive leader but domestic politics continuously inhibited his liberty to act. Kennedy, in contrast, seems to have been a weak decision-maker, despite the fact that international affairs and domestic concerns continuously pressured him to make prompt and crucial decisions.
President John Kennedy, although elected was constantly questioned on whether or not he was sufficiently experienced to run a country at such a young age. Since the beginning of presidency, each president had been formerly christian so President Kennedy was incessantly criticised on the fact that he was a catholic. If that wasn't enough, Kennedy was accused for tampering with the votes. Regardless, President Kennedy still remained on his journey towards his proposal to aid the stagnant economy by aiding it move forward. In Kennedy’s fleeting presidency, he had a fairly even amount of failures and successes. President kennedy’s ideas were mainly about improving the economy, assisting the poor, and contributing to the space program. As the recession continued,
The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy is one of the most tragic events that shaped America. JFK was born on May 19, 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, but little did he know that his life would be abbreviated in his future. Kennedy became the thirty-fifth President of the United States; he was assassinated on November 22, 1963. He was allegedly shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. Although, many pieces of evidence conclude that Oswald could not have done the deed by himself. There is a broad conspiracy behind this major assassination. The conspiracy consists of the “single bullet theory” introduced by former United States Senator Arlen Specter; it also implicates future presidents of the United States, including George H. W. Bush,
In the age of “Camelot,” President Kennedy was a young, fresh, opponent running against his off-putting fellow candidate Richard Nixon. Kennedy represented not only a fresh start to a rejuvenated government, but also provided a strong platform on which Americans could find a way to serve the nation themselves. Although the Peace Corps was an ideological call for Americans to serve their country, President Kennedy ultimately used it as an international propaganda tool.
President Kennedy accomplished many things while in office including, establishing the peace corps, emphasized public service, set a goal to put man on the moon, prevented nuclear war, etc. Kennedy depicted a “get-it-done optimism” which was so powerful for America to witness. Jackie Kennedy referred to her husband 's presidency as "Camelot," a wistful nod to the legend and idealism of King Arthur and his round table of heroic knights” (Walsh). During JFK’s presidency, Americans believed that they lived in an enchanted country where people could strive to better their lives (Walsh). Subsequently, JFK was fixing to run for president again to ensure that America stayed in a place of peace.
John F. Kennedy was one of the most influential presidents ever; The decisions he made during the Cold War evaded the chance of a nuclear holocaust during his presidency. His had to make many life changing choices during his presidency. Many of them could have extreme impacts on the public 's opinion of him, the American economy would be affected. And the war with the Soviets was extremely costly to create new technology to protect ourselves. John F. Kennedy influence on the American people was profound, and his decisive actions changed history during the Cold War.
"The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been” (Henry). This quote from Henry Kissinger is a representation of the Kennedy term in office. President Kennedy took the world to a whole new level; he succeeded in many tasks in his short time as president. John F. Kennedy was great president because of his involvements in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Peace Corps.
