Reflection On Legislative Meeting

Reciprocity and free trade are two distinct debates which has occurred at separate periods throughout Canadian history. Both are periods in which the Canadian and U.S. governments attempted to broker a deal which would lower tariff walls and allow good to move smoothly between the countries. Reciprocity occurred in 1911 when the Prime Minister Laurier attempted to implement free trade with the U.S. Free Trade is prominently in terms of the 1980’s in which the government under Brian Mulroney wished to once again implement a free trade deal with the U.S. in 1911 free trade was defeated and the government of Robert Borden won an election on the issue. In 1988 once again an election was held on the issue of free trade, this time it was successful and implemented following the election.

We recently did a debate on a major problem in the world today, environmental issues. Two students were given a topic, like landfills, deforestation, wildfires, etc., and had to debate on pros and cons on whether or not it is good for the environment. I did not like the setup of the debate because I could not hear some people and I did not feel fully engaged in the conversation. Overall, I liked how we were free to talk at times and the connections to real life scenarios. This was the first time I heard about Live Google which I thought was a really cool part of the presentation as I was able to expand on an idea more. Here are summaries of some of the topics the students were given.

While some Americans blame the government for it being undemocratic, the elected officials have provided us with evidence that America is undemocratic. An ideal democracy is how the government puts the people’s interest before the businesses interest. In Lindblom’s story “The Market as Prison”, it introduces a mechanism called the automatic punishing recoil mechanism (APRM). This provides businesses to have a privileged position in society.

Every leader had their own special blend of perspectives and world views that influence their approach to leadership. A frame is a perspective from which a person views the world and it influences how they interacts with others. There are four frames of reference: structural, human resource, political, and symbolic. These viewpoints are developed overtime achieving a more poised mindset and approach. How does each frame influence my personal leadership style and relate to my work environment?

The effect of Lobbyist in a democratic society is substantial, in both their economic and political power to sway votes in their favor. Throughout the history of Texas government these entities, both corporations, and people have seen their influential muscle flexed throughout the city of Austin. Examining how and why these groups exist, as well as in what manner they go about making money and contributing money to causes that they deem important. Gives a good insight into what exactly makes this world so appealing to all involved. After taking a look at the way, these lobbyists come to survive and thrive. A look at how one man and his backing help keep an entire pharmaceutical company in the position of running a monopoly. This man is named

The act of influencing legislation in government is called “lobbying”. The right to lobby is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. It states “Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to petition the government for a redress of grievances” (APUS, n.d). Besides, this is considered to be part of the Freedom of Assembly and Petition Clause in the First Amendment. This essay will discuss the impact of lobbyist on legislation in Washington, DC and the amount of dollars spent to influence federal policies.

On September 5th, 1774 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the first Continental Congress meeting was held in Carpenters Hall. Fifty-Six delegates from all of the colonies

The substantial controversy enveloping the many accomplishments of the Gillard governments (2010-2013) has resulted in the establishment of a highly criticised legacy which, when assessed, is acknowledged as both positive and negative in Australian political history. Within a brief term, Gillard attained many considerable successes regarding legislative achievements (Curtin, 2015, pp.193) and established a global, feminist legacy. There has been, however, a negative impact on these achievements and ultimately the Gillard government’s legacy from a parliamentary democratic perspective. Julia Gillard’s contentious rise and fall in prime ministership has produced a negative legacy in Australia history, which overshadows the successes of this

We live in a world where the communication is the foundation for sharing information between people and debating is a formal way of communicating. Debating on the “Insurance policies obtained through the Affordable Care Act should be replaced by High Deductible Health Plans paired with tax free Health Savings Accounts” was challenging in many ways. My team was on the con side. From the beginning, all members of the team agreed that the Affordable Care Act is a controversial and complicated topic, however, ACA has made a number of positive changes to the health care system and increased access to health care services. In addition, the ACA has a tremendous impact not just on patients, but also on health care providers and workers.

The Anti-Federalists believed competition between interest groups would make governing impossible and could lead to anarchy. However, historical evidence shows the Anti-Federalists were clearly wrong. Although interesting groups may invade others’ rights, they are good because no one voice should rule and having them allows government to address various needs of the people, as long as laws are put in place to control them.

Prior to taking POLS 1101, I had already obtained much knowledge about America under British rule, and the struggle that led us to become the independent country we are today. What I did not know is our current government structure and the processes and systems of our government. I also learned more about the Electoral College, the United States Supreme Court, the Nuclear Deal, and Britain’s “question time.” I enjoyed participating in these discussions, because each post required research, exploration, and consideration before meaningful dialogue; it requires students to analyze textbooks, the media, and much more, leading to one gaining a well rounded knowledge on a subject. I have also enjoyed the opportunity to read what my peers had to say on the exact same question, comparing and contrasting our answers and opinions.

It is not just protecting children against abuse and neglect, but also to help a child to achieve their best, giving them the opportunities, nurturing and providing facilities along with keeping them safe.

All right, fantastic. We are going to move on to this question here, do you do anything else right now to make money or is you’re your main job?

Effective leaders must learn to embrace conflict because it is an inexorable part of human interactions and without intervention, it seldom finds its own productive solutions (Myatt, 2012). The failure to address conflict early on will likely lead to workplace acrimony, disengagement and poor communication and cooperation (Myatt, 2012).
