The Recent Executive Order Signed By President Trump Stating

In the constitution it states that the Presidents purpose is; to be chief of state, chief executive, chief administrator, chief diplomat, commander in chief, chief legislature, party chief, and chief citizen (The presidents job description). As the chief of legislature, one of the presidents duties is to not only review bills being proposed by congress, and occasionally say they must be revised but to also enact laws affecting the people of the United States immediately, rather than wait for them to move up through the many levels and debates of congress. For this, he can use the power of an executive order, a constitutional way to provide laws that relate to national welfare or the good of the citizens. A few good example of this would be executive order 13767, which moves for additional border security on the United States southern border, and executive

The EEO Was born on September 24, 1965, When President Lyndon Johnson issued an Executive Order. This Order basically said that the leader of each executive department and agency needed to provide equal employment opportunity for all employees, workers, and applicants for employment within its company. This Executive order later evolved into another EEO Executive Order. On August 8, 1969, past President Richard Nixon signed Executive Order 11478, that executive order said that the United States government must provide equal opportunity for employing persons in federal buildings this order prohibited discrimination in employment based on race, sex, age, color, religion, national origin, physical or mental handicap. As a result of this, EEO laws

The prevalence of environmental issues in the public awareness reached a point where government was forced to take action in 1979. When Henry Love abandoned construction of a canal in New York in 1920, the site was bought by Hooker Chemical and used as a toxic chemical waste dumping site for the next 33 years (Schons 2011). Then in 1953 Hooker Chemical sold the Love Canal to the school board, and construction of a school began. In the mid to late 1970s, when children’s shoes began melting to the ground and children got sick the residents organized and protested. Media coverage increased and showed toxic black sludge oozing into people’s basements (Schons 2011). The lack of awareness of environmental and health consequences of chemical dumping

Donald Trump has a new plan for the immigration executive order. The original order was not as successful as it caused a lot of confusion. However, his new order will achieve some of the same goals.

My policy problem is that Congress now wants to reverse President Obama’s executive order and this reversal will be a huge step back in the process of the immigration reform that is needed. This reversal of action can be detrimental to many immigrant families by separating families with deportation and delaying families from being reunited after only parts of families were able to come to the United States. The government has been deporting illegal immigrants and the path to citizenship is difficult for illegal immigrants because of the complications and financial burden of the whole process.

As we all know, Donald Trump issued an executive order which restricts immigration on the following countries:

The United States is known to have the largest immigration population in the world. There are often three reasons for immigrants coming to the United States. One reason is to take advantage of superior economic opportunities. Another reason could be to escape political or religious oppression that may be occurring in their home countries. A third reason could be to reunite with family members who are already in the United States. Since there are individuals of other nations coming to the United States to live and find workable jobs, the American economy is being effected. Although these effects occur, it does not mean that they are bad or good. These effects just come naturally due to immigration. This paper will examine three effects that

The greatest achievement that I have been able to accomplish in terms of securing the material national interest of the United States has been the agreement of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This trade agreement amongst twelve member states (United States, Canada, Chile, Peru, Zealand, Australia, Brunei, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Japan) was adopted to strengthen the economic ties for a more interconnected global economy. For the average working American it shows great promise to increase their income and for the nation as a whole. It also possesses the potential to allow for the growth of the nation’s GDP and annual exports, thereby increasing the living standard.

Globalization has become one of the most influential forces in the twentieth century. International integration of world views, products, trade and ideas has caused a variety of states to blur the lines of their borders and be open to an international perspective. The merger of the Europeans Union, the ASEAN group in the Pacific and NAFTA in North America is reflective of the notion of globalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement was the largest free trade zone in the world at its conception and set an example for the future of liberalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement is coming into it's twentieth anniversary on January 1st, 2014. 1 NAFTA not only sought to enhance the trade of goods and services across

Independent studies have shown that the TPP can increase the US GDP by 0.5 percent, and the US export will be 9.1 percent higher by 2030 (Calmes). Even though the US will be the largest beneficiary of the TPP, other 11 Pacific Rim states will be benefited substantially as well (Petri and Plummer). The displacement of labor in industries that are vulnerable to external competition, due to the TPP, is less than 0.1 percent (Calmes). Besides the economic benefits, the TPP serves a political purpose of confining the increasing economic and political influence of China.

One of the main goals of free trade agreements is globalization. Globalization, or global free trade, is the creation of trading connections between countries throughout the world ("Globalization"). Globalization stresses free trade. Free trade is when tariffs are reduced or eliminated on exports or imports. Tariff tax percentages added to US imported goods have dropped dramatically from about 60% in the 1930s, to lower than 10% in 2005 ("International"). With less money taxed on products, corporations can expand, increase trade, and generate more revenue. Focusing on just the US, the value of goods traded with Canada was about $562 billion, and Mexico was $347.3 billion, in 2007 ("International"). Although globalization sounds very beneficial to the US economy and other countries ' economies, there are concerns of globalization being 'one-side. ' Due to the increase of free trade between trading countries, globalization was supposed to cause economic growth and improve living conditions in underdeveloped countries ("International"). Yet local business and farmers in countries like Mexico, are not getting a lot of business due to so many imported goods from large foreign corporations entering the market (Globalization). All the profits go back to multi-national corporations in more developed countries like the US ("International"). On top of that, there is the fear that because these multinational corporations are growing wealthier, they will have more influence over

“Globalization is not just one impact of the new technologies that are reshaping the economies of the third millennium” (Thurow 19-31). When speaking of globalization, most people will not have a complete understanding as of what it actually means or what aspects of the world it affects. Globalization promotes free trade and creates jobs. The capital markets attract investors, resort cheap labor, and leads to job losses in some areas of higher wage. While all of this is happening, the world economy is being effected: economically, culturally, socially, and politically.

The first piece of news I would like to write about is from BBC “World Business Report” reporting on the signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal in Auckland (New Zealand) on 4th February 2016. The aim of the TPP deal is to free up trade and investment between 12 countries across the Pacific Rim, that account for about 40% of the global economy: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, USA and Vietnam. Those countries now have two years to ratify or reject the pact; however, if only ten nations ratified without Japan and the United States, the pact would not be enforced. New Zealand trade minister, Todd McClay, stated that according to Central Bank forecasts all the participating countries would benefit from the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal. Despite the governments’ enthusiasm, there have been protests in different countries by those who claim that, because of this deal, corporations will profit and small companies and workers will lose.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a multilateral free trade agreement that aims to facilitate economic integration among its twelve member states. Scholars Capling and Ravenhill describe the agreement as “transregional” since it unites various states from five distinct regions: Oceania, North America, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. After eight years of negotiations, the TPP was signed on February 4, 2016 but has yet to be ratified and implemented by its signatories. Besides extensive market access, the agreement focuses heavily on establishing regulatory provisions regarding issues of human rights, labour standards, as well as the environment. As an active agreement that is open to new provisions and amendments, the TPP has the potential to expand and meet the standards of new innovations while embracing prospective members after its ratification. This trade agreement is significant for a multilateral arrangement as the member states considered together, represent over forty percent of the global gross domestic product (GDP) and has the potential to expand as new economies join. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficiency of the Trans-Pacific Partnership as a relative multilateral arrangement by exploring the agreement’s prospective socioeconomic impacts on its signatories. Utilizing a comparative approach, I will argue that the Trans-Pacific Partnership is an extension of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) through

Across the world, globalization is one of the most significant aspects that has occurred over the last fifty years. It allows a country to integrate economically with other countries through a global network comprised of people, trade, and transportation. With the global landscape only becoming more intertwined, globalization and its inherent pros and cons seem to be here to stay. In many areas, global powers tend to lack in rectifying the negative aspects and only focus on the positive side. America, for example, is a leader in the globalization efforts, even though it has greatly effected job opportunities at home, widening income gaps, and an increased standard of living due to fluctuating world markets.
