Propaganda in American Political Cartoons
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page report discusses American political cartoons and the commentary they make regarding events taking place in the public arena. Of course a cartoon is supposed to be a light touch. It does not exactly accuse. But in many ways, it is far more powerful than any accusation because it has the power of social sanction. Cartoonists are simply using their art as a means of conveying a message that suggests the reader consider a situation in the light of its fundamental absurdity. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Proper Tasks Of Political Representatives
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Political representatives exist for no other reason than to reflect the peoples' position; they are elected officials who are chosen to act for, speak for and stand up for the constituency they represent. While this is indeed the definitive definition, whether or not it is adhered to is an entirely different matter and the very reason why Anti-Federalists fought so vehemently against constitutional ratification. Would the United States be overcome by tyranny because its own political representatives became too omnipotent? Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Proposal Paper: Veterans Affairs Benefits
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. The main thing on the minds of every soldier coming home from military conflict is to realign themselves with the lives they left behind. Work, friends, home life, familial relationships – all of these and more require a great measure of readjustment for veterans whose entire existence has centered upon war. Even those without any battle-related encumbrances - such as mental, physical or emotional injuries – still need help assimilating back into the society they left behind in order to protect. Veterans Affairs (VA) has been an instrumental force in providing much-needed education, home loans, pensions, medical care, life insurance and vocational rehabilitation for both the veteran and his/her family, however, as beneficial as VA has been in helping veterans piece their collective lives back together with such assistance, the system has become so overloaded that more and more veterans are going without benefits they are qualified to receive. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Prospect Theory
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. The quest for global peace resides at the very basis of international relations; without some semblance of theoretic order, such relations would not only fail to reach their objectives, but the entire global dynamics would be rendered ungoverned. International relations require a significant amount of political reciprocation in order for nations, also termed actors, to rise to the expected level of participation. Orchestrating these sometimes-precarious actions are theories that help – and sometimes hinder – the overall process of communication. Prospect theory is one that possesses a descriptive rather than prescriptive composition, in that it explains several phenomena observed in experiments and in life. Clearly, the very foundation of prospect theory revolves around risk factors and the potential outcome of a particular action. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
