Can Ordinary Americans Develop a More Effective Democracy
[ send me this essay ]
This 4 page paper tries to answer the question: Can Ordinary Americans Develop a More Effective Democracy? This paper relates the fact that when our Founding Fathers created the Constitution, one of the central dictums of the preamble was that if the government stopped working for the people, that another form of democratic government should be developed in its place. Most agree it can't happen. One of the fundamental reasons that this is the case is because it can be argued that ordinary Americans do not have enough of the qualities needed to develop a more effective democracy. In order to understand this argument, then, it is beneficial to consider some of the perspectives of a number of theorists, including James Madison, Gabriel Almond, Sidney Verba, Fareed Zakaria and de Toqueville.

Canada and the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page contention that while the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis composed the first real threat to North American territory since the bombing of Pearl Harbor in World War II, the reaction of the two countries most threatened by this crisis was considerably different. The U.S. reaction was swift yet perhaps somewhat premature. Canadian reaction was considerably slower. Concludes that while many criticize Canada's reaction to the Cuban Missile Crisis and the U.S. request for Canadian alert, her caution was actually prudent given the threat of all-out nuclear world war as a result of U.S. actions and the concerns for Canadian sovereignty in regard to the control of her military.

Canadian Administrative Reforms: Trends, Improvements and Concerns
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing Canadian administrative reforms, concerns and improvements. The Canadian federal government reforms over the past fifty years have shifted a great deal in their initiatives, structures and priorities which have deeply impacted the reforms and initiatives of the provincial and municipal governments as well. The reforms in the 1960s and 1970s in Canada initiated by the Canadian government established an increase in social systems, benefits and an increase in the public sector which allowed for the support of these programs. While no major shift occurred during the 1980s, the recession of the early 1990s and an increasing federal public deficit of over $540 billion led to a great deal of restructuring and shifting of initiatives and resources in the mid to late 1990s. Federal funding was drastically reduced by reforms which led to the decentralization and privatization of programs and industry and an increased responsibility placed on each provincial and territorial government. The provincial governments in turn enacted reforms which led to drastic cuts in education, health care and social programs which are still considered controversial and a major concern today. Recently, governmental reforms have shifted slightly again to highlight business networking, accountability, regulation and e-government in order to increase efficiency and accessibility of governmental services.
