United States of America
In assignment one, I choose to exploration of country United States of America website. The website is divided into seven parts on the top of the website. The seven parts of the website which included: “government agencies and elected officials, health, housing and community, jobs and unemployment, money and shopping, travel and immigration, and more services.” In this website, it shows us how to find the government services and information by topic in the middle of the website. The amazing part of the website is we can contact government agencies and elected officials to the president, U.S Senators, U.S. Representative, federal agencies, governor, state

The agencies are under the three branches of U.S Government. According to the website information, “the constitution of the United States divides the federal government into three branches to ensure a central government in which no individual or group gains too much control included: “legislative to makes laws, executive to carry out laws, and judicial to evaluates laws.” Legislative branch has the power to “enact legislation, confirm or rejects president appointments, and has the authority to declare war.” United States has totaling 100 senators in Senate and 435 elected representatives in House of Representatives agencies to support to Congress. President, vice president, and the cabinet are the key roles of the executive branch to carries out and enforced laws, so the American citizens have the right to vote. “The judicial branch is interpreted the meaning of the laws, applies laws to individual cases, and decides if laws violate the Constitution,” describe in the website. Supreme Court, and other federal courts are the part of the judicial branch. In the contact government by topic page, government programs, including: “benefits, consumer products and safety, government officials, health, military and veterans, travel and transportation, children and education, fraud, law enforcement, and crime, government social media and mobile apps, home, community, and work, and money and business.”

The Southern States of America was made up of the following, Georgia with Atlanta as the Capital of the new union, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. Although, Kentucky wasn’t a sure bet at this point, there was still a lot of work to do in that state.
Following numerous events in the 1850’s and early 1860’s, eleven of the southern states of the United States of America would make a fateful decision to succeed from the Nation. They would in turn create their own independent country, the Confederate States of America. This action and its ramifications echoed throughout the world during the Era and the effects are still felt today. A civil war would ensue, lasting from April of 1861 until May of 1865. During this conflict approximately 700,000 people would lose their lives and the end would come with the Confederate States of America surrendering at Appomattox Courthouse.
In document 1, the picture shows different countries represented by little people. In this picture they are all in a school yard, which represents the U.S. , and they are all out of control. You see the filipinos represented by the monkey looking child, you can also see china and other countries. What this picture wants to show is that the countries are acting like little children in the way that they cannot govern themselves while the U.S. is the woman taking care of them. The United States believed that these countries need help in government so they wanted to step in and “help”.
SEAL Team One had furnished two ‘volunteer’ teams for the Panama Mission. Both teams boarded the single C-17 that was provided with the additional fuel tanks, one team would be dropped by parachute with the newly modified short wave radios at the Pacific side of the canal. The modified radios still have the distance to transmit any place in the world given the proper antenna dimensions. However, the radios were designed to be compact and given a hardened casing that would better protect them for military use. They all used either hand-powered generators or AC current.
Despite the short history, it’s undoubted that the United States are the world power. Their resources and capabilities well sustain a power that outranks all the other countries’ ones. Their military forces and their effectiveness are point of reference for the others. The dimension and the heavy employment of US Armed Forces around the world are rich source of experience and considerations. It’s, then, interesting for this analysis to examine the values that sustain the USAF in order to find useful elements that can be implemented in the Italian reality. The joint regulation mentions honesty, integrity, loyalty, accountability, fairness, caring, respect, promise keeping, responsible citizenship, and pursue of excellence as primary values. The USAF first introduced in the early ‘90s six core values: courage, patriotism, integrity, competence, tenacity, and service. The Air Force reason behind this new concept was the reaction to a series of ethical failure happened in those years. Their ethical value was outstanding, but after few years, the USAF decided to institutionalize new core values with the publication in 1997 of The Little Blue Book. They were developed at Academy a couple of years before. The new core values, integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do collected outstanding ethical values in a much more efficient way, a built-in model to bring them to life.Integrity first is the most important values as it comes “first.” As specified in
During the 1800s, the United States of America underwent some drastic changes. President Jefferson introduced a simple idea of expansion with the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition; President Madison allowed the country to slip into the war of 1812 after complications with the impressment of American seaman by British navy in the Great War during Jefferson’s time. After the war, an “Era of Good Feelings” promoted national unity and Marshall’s supreme court decided many cases that promoted power of the national government over the states. The Monroe Doctrine told European powers that they must not interfere with events in the Western Hemisphere, and the creation of the national bank also took place during this time.
The United States of America was founded on the basic principles and ideals that gave citizens a voice in the dictation of their country. The “We the People” mindset has been a clear example of the American citizen’s right to the ballot. This right was originally only given to white men. Not everyone was entitled to enfranchisement. Some citizens had to fight for their right to vote. Passed in 1870, just five years after the War Between the States, the 15th Amendment was passed, granting African American men the right to vote. While this was a huge step towards equality at the ballot box, a large portion of the population was still missing basic equalities. Women still were not granted the right to vote, and had no say in any political
The United States has always been the land of the free, a quality that attracted many immigrants in search of a new life. As a result, the U.S is one of the most heterogeneous countries in the world. Today, three hundred and eleven languages are spoken in the U.S (Rhein, 2007). While the U.S has no official language, English is the most commonly spoken language in the country. Ever since the 1980’s, there has been a phenomenon known as the English-Only Movement, which is driven by those who believe English should be made the official language of the U.S. This phenomenon began in the 1980’s when Americans started to fear that immigrant languages would take over English (Crawford, 1998). For the past three decades, this movement has continued to have an impact in the U.S. Some of the common justifications for making English the official language is that it would make America more unified and it would improve the lives of immigrants (Brice, 2014). Another common justification is that it would save the federal government billions of dollars. The government spends large amounts of money every year to keep multilingualism alive, and it is in turn hurting the economy. Multilingualism has also had a major effect on the grades of school children who do not speak fluent English. Since the 1980’s, many governments have made efforts to reduce multilingualism. In order to improve the lives of immigrants, the economy and the grades of students in the U.S, English should be
The United States of America, a country that used fight for the small guy, that used fight to protect the people that needed to be saved. Yet now we can barely save ourselves from a water balloon fight. This country got caught up in the small thing .We are fighting ourselves about bathroom rules, being democrat or a republican. Recently people are making a deal about the pledge of allegiance some people who don 't believe in a religion or have a different region than most people in this country.
The United States of America, throughout the early and mid 1800s, was going through a rapid transition of social and economical changes. Immediate changes to its democracy continued to be a constant work in progress as well. The early and mid 1800s was also around the same time when the Market Revolution and the idea of westward expansion -- also known as the Manifest Destiny -- sparked an interest to many working Americans. After a few decades of winning independence from British sovereignty, America had already had its fair share of progress and of great leaders. But to be a leader who ideally understood the voices and needs of the so-called “common man”, a term that was coined during this era to describe the average American citizen, was a part of an ideology that was new movement of its own.
Does the United States of America actually get the media it deserves? This is a crucial question for not only U.S. citizens to be asking themselves, but the media personnel as well. If a country’s media is not efficiently and effectively providing its citizens with news stories, there is a huge problem at hand. While the media thrives off of breaking news stories, it’s generally the minute details that grab the attention of viewers. In essence, the minute details are what makes a breaking news story a truly breaking news story. If the media withholds certain details from a story, which happens daily, they are depriving the viewers of “real news.” Due to this, American citizens often times do not get the news they deserve.
The United States of America: Land of the free! Home of the brave! A place where opportunities are endless and equality is everlasting. Speaking on behalf of others in my generation, I believe it is safe to say many of us have seen a lot of selfish and outrageous acts develop drastically. From white cops killing innocent black citizens, to people supporting the evil Donald Trump, to ostracizing ourselves from the LGBT community and looking down upon them, it is quite obvious that the saying “America: the greatest country in the world” isn’t so accurate. We are naïve to the destruction that occurs daily and have a habit of sugarcoating our mistakes. The matter of the truth is: our generation is distorted and unethical, which is why in 200
It has been a well-known fact that the United States has been a model example for the world since its inception. Through the course of time, the influence of the United States has slowly grown. The roots of this influence lie within the core of the United States government and have since branched out into language, the arts, food, and more (Zimmerman). While these aforementioned examples have largely come around in the past century, the origin of this process was first defined in around 1800 (Dictionary). During this time, we started to first see the term “Americanize” in the British vernacular, which subsequently led to the adoption of the term “Americanization” by the United States and the world.
The united states of america has been in many world affairs since its creation. One of the earliest international events that can be attributed to having direct links with the Great Depression was the Manchurian Crisis of 1931. War had broken out between China and Japan, who had both suffered due to the counter measures and high tariffs set by America and Europe to combat the Great Depression. Japanese army officers in Manchuria manufactured an incident, took over the province and on their own created the puppet state of Manchukuo. Japan saw the depression as an opportunity to find a market for Japanese goods without fear of repercussions 'while the American government confessed its financial impotence. Western governments simply did not have the financial resources to intervene in affairs twelve thousand miles away, so the world watched on as Japan began to gain a foothold on China. When the League of Nations confronted this behaviour, Japan exited the league of nations. Henry Stimson, Secretary of State to then President Herbert Hoover, suggested that economic sanctions be imposed on Japan, but his proposal was denied. Japan relied on imported US oil and was the third largest consumer of American exports, the US, in turn took in 40 percent of Japanese exports. Although economic sanctions would greatly hinder Japanese advancement, they would also harm American interests and Hoover neither wanted to provoke an enemy or invite a war. The result of this inaction was to be
The United States of America has a bad reputation abroad when it comes to what Americans like to eat. When people think about American food, the first image pops in their mind is –McDonald! But as we all know, the average McDonald’s meal contains so much sodium, unhealthy fat, sugar and empty carbs, it’s staggering. It is the exact opposite of what any doctor or nutritionist would consider a healthy diet. However, there are still numerous of people eating fast food because it is quick, easy, and cheap. Or they don’t know what else they can eat. Americans food is far inferior to the same foods in other nations. Many foreigners think that American has nothing else to eat besides FAST FOOD. However, THIS IS NOT TRUE!
