It's Still A Mad, Mad California Summary
I agree with the author of this specific article,"It's Still A Mad, Mad California" that California is by far the most contentious and over-regulated state in America. The author brings up a good point: those who convey passionate beliefs against Trump and his policies, believe they are fighting for the poor's rights, end up as hypocrites. This is because many of the people who have spoken against Trump are amongst the rich that would want government regulation to keep them safe from the same people that they believe they are speaking out for. Of course Trump is not the main issue here. Many of these so-called rich "liberals" do not give much thought that they are giving into the same beliefs they are against. California reminds me much more

    Shitty First Draft Summary

    In her article, “Shitty First Drafts”, Anne Lamott writes about how having “shitty first drafts” is one of the key components of the writing process. She believes that writing a “shitty” first draft will lead to writers writing “good second drafts” and “terrific third drafts.” Lamott illustrates through her experiences as a food critic that writing does not always come easily. In order for there to be a “terrific” final piece of work, the writer needs to first allow for the words and thoughts to come flowing out without restriction. Lamott explains that she would go to the restaurant to review them numerous amounts of times with her friends. She would then write down her friends’ opinionated words about the restaurant. Here she was writing…

    In “Dangers of a Single Story,” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie means that a single story creates many stereotypes in society. One particular story can never give us the full aspect of something.

    The Fourth Branch Of Government: Article Analysis

    Originally, California was an idolized state as the agriculture, diversity in regions, and diversity in people made it an attractive and financially beneficial place to be. Now California has one of the highest living costs, poor employment rates, low education scores, and a lack of quality public facilities. One of the causes, according to the article "The Fourth Branch of Government," is Governor Hiram Johnson's implementation of a more direct state democracy with referendum, initiative, and recall. The article explains how initiatives are more powerful and dangerous than referendums, which I partly agree with. Then it discusses how direct and indirect initiative differs as well as their consequences, which are true, and how the problems…

    Texas Low-Tax Model

    The state of Texas is known as a low-tax state because of not having a “statewide personal income tax” (Yarbrough). This is a result of a conservative legislature with conservatives believing that having an income tax would “stifle the state’s economic success” (Batheja). Since Texas is mainly a Republican state, Republicans that support conservative ideals are the reason why a conservative legislature has been elected, leading to low taxes and little spending.…

    ASHFORD POL 201 Week 2 DQ 1

    The U.S. government's expansive role in public policy is caught in a swirl of conflicting cross-currents. On the one hand, popular expectations about government's responsibility to solve problems often exceed the capacity of state and local authorities to respond effectively. On the other hand, policies developed at the national level may not sufficiently reflect the great diversity of interests across the U.S. to be effective at the local level. Moreover, the search for effective policy is further complicated by theoretical debates about the constitutional framework of federalism, e.g., what limits on national power can be derived from the Tenth Amendment?…

    Research Paper On Six California's

    Six California’s Six California’s, proposed by a man named Tim Draper, is an idea in which California is to be split into six, individual states. This idea is said to be an opportunity for California to start fresh and to create a better future for the citizens. As of right, California is facing numerous problems that are impossible for just one governor to attempt to solve, but creating six California’s allows us to fix those problems. The current proposition to split California into six individual states gives us an opportunity to solve the many problems we face, such as poor representation, however it could create more problems than it solves. To begin, currently in California, we are not all well represented.…

    When I think of my hometown I think people being shot, robbed, and raped. One of the biggest problems in our town was a man being given the death penalty for raping and mutilating a woman. When you cross the line between Albany and Leesburg, it is like stepping from a gang movie into Sweet Home Alabama. Albany is the murderous blood stricken world of gangs and thugs. Lee County is where I grew up and it just is not what it was when I started going to school there. I would never want my child to be raised in what Lee County has turned into in the past few years.…

    The Influence Of Political Culture In Texas

    Texas is a large state with a vast population that has a variety of diversity and perspectives about the government. The perspectives of the people are important since they define the political culture of the state and affect how others in different nations perceive us. Texas is often described as having a combination of traditionalistic individualistic political culture. Some patterns that reflect Texas’s political culture are taxes kept low and social services minimized. Also, business leaders are the people that have a major say in how the government is managed. In Texas the state has a diversity of views in how the government should be managed which makes it more difficult to classify the political culture. (Champagne and Harpham, pg. 6)The…
