Presidents play many roles. Using a news article from the last eight weeks, demonstrate which is most important and why.

Rubric is attached

Respond 200 words +

The president of the United States has many important roles. National security, domestic policy, foreign policy, and more. The level of importance of each role is fluid as it depends on the current happenings in the country and in the world.

In our textbook, American Government, there is a line portion that felt very relevant to the current worldwide pandemic: “What often shapes a president’s performance, reputation, and ultimately legacy depends on circumstances that are largely out of his or her control. Did the president prevail in a landslide or was it a closely contested election? Did he or she come to office as the result of death, assassination, or resignation?” This stuck out to me because right now one of the most important roles of the president it to relay accurate and timely information. Last week President Trump suggested injecting cleaning products in order to cure the coronavirus. He later explained that he was being sarcastic. This is absolutely reprehensible as he is not in a position to be sarcastic or joke about a situation where people will may be desperate to grasp to any solutions/cures. According to the New York Times, “the president’s comments, at a White House briefing last week, have already prompted widespread incredulity, warnings from health experts and a spike in calls to poison control centers around the country. The makers of Clorox and Lysol urged Americans not to inject or ingest their products.” The president of the United States should be a credible source! The president has an astronomical impact. People watch his press conferences for guidance and clarification in an uncertain time. Credible, accurate, safe information is what should be presented.

Good Evening Professor C/Class,

I decided to post on the roles and responsibilities of the President as week 4 is centered on the Presidency. The President is certainly attached to many roles that are manifested through imperative responsibilities, tasks, and duties to execute decisions that affect the United States as a whole. The term “chief” is mentioned in every title of the President’s many roles: Chief Citizen, Chief of State, Chief Diplomat, Chief Legislator, Chief Executive, Chief Administrator, Commander-in-Chief and Party Chief. What does this mean? The President is the head leader in multiple various areas of government who holds significant power (with limitations to balance) to succeed decisions as stated in the Constitution. The President is designated to speak and lead for the people, he/she is responsible for executing the laws pushed by Congress, enforcing those laws, having exclusive direct power to the military, determines involvement diplomatically with other countries and leading political parties.

With the COVID19 pandemic taking place for the last couple of months it is very clear the President’s movement has been watched with many mixed reviews and emotions. I do not think one role of the President’s is more or less important than the other. Each role has a heavyweight with a significant amount of pressure between himself, decision making, the public, Congress, the government, political parties, and most importantly the people of the United States. But for our post-discussion, I believe the President’s role as Chief Legislator is highly recognized during this time as he is working strategically with Congress to pass budgets to support United States during COVID19. Millions of people have lost their jobs, businesses have shut down and there is a shortage of medical equipment/PPE to name a few. One article suggests that President Trump is the right individual for this current job and situation “Today, within a week of recognizing the crisis, Congress is working on multiple bills that amount to over $2 trillion in the form of direct checks to Americans, interest-free, forgivable loans to small businesses provided they do not fire their workers, and bailouts for decimated airline, hospitality, and other industries” (Karabell, 2020). He has been scrutinized and criticized for waiting too long to address the COVI19 before the spread, for not having a detailed well thought out health plan and heresy of demonstrating the lack of administration skills. Yet he has displayed the actions of working with Congress to pass bills and budgets to financially supporting those in need during COVID19. “And, now, the newly scared Trump is prepared to do what he does best: spend gobs and gobs of money” (Karabell, 2019).

Thank you!

Jairus McCain

Imagine yourself as a staff member of the United Nations assigned to keep ambassadors up to date on human rights issues and government policies to address them.

Steps

  1. Select a recent or ongoing human rights issue. You may research one of the example issues from the Human Rights Issues List down below orchoose one the following case studies provided for you:

Human Rights Issues List

  • Child Soldiers (ex. Sudan, Yemen, Somalia)
  • Ethnic Cleansing (ex. Libya, Kashmir, Darfur)
  • Prisoners’ Rights (ex. Iran)
  • Violence Against Women (ex. Afghanistan, Chad)
  • Repression of Political Dissent (nation other than Cuba, ex. Egypt, Syria)

 

  1. Learn about your issue. Carefully read the case study provided in step one, or research the alternative human rights issue you chose. News outlets and the following websites can help you learn about your issue:
    Human Rights Watch
    US Department of State
    United Nations

    Be sure to find out how the United States and other countries are attempting to address the issue.

  2. Create a policy update for the United Nations including at least three well-written paragraphs that address the following:
    • Origins–How did the human rights issue come about? Who does it affect and how? How does it affect human rights?
    • Responses–How is the United States government responding to the issue? How are other governments both inside and outside the situation responding to the problem?

/in /by

Deliverable Length: 400–600 words- 2-3 references- APA format!!

 

Part of a business owner’s costs, when it comes to pricing, competition, manufacturing, and distribution, are tariffs. Tariffs can be used by a country to increase its revenues or protect its own domestic industries. When expanding internationally, a business owner may run across countries that have tariff and nontariff distortions to trade. 

 

Discuss the following issues regarding tariffs:

 

  • How do countries use tariffs to increase revenues or protect industries? 
    • How do they affect exports?
  • Who benefits from tariffs?
    • Producers or consumers?
    • Small, developing countries or large, developed countries?
  • What other costs are involved in importing and exporting?
  • When are tariffs good, and when are they bad? Why?
  • How does a business owner find out what tariffs exist in individual countries, and what percentage of the cost of imports and exports is from tariffs?
    • What government agencies in the United States provide this information?
  • Should the United States use tariffs? 
    • Why or why not?

business communications 3 questions

/in /by

Answer these questions

 

  1. Recently you had an autobiography assignment (email) which required you use direct message protocols. For question #1 please write a purpose statement that would accurately introduce the autobiography you sent me.
  2. In complete sentences, provide 3 examples of workplace messages you will have to write to your boss or to co-workers and explain why these 3 are indeed direct messages.
  3. In a short paragraph explain why a memo to all employees from your boss announcing the specific parking procedure for employees to follow beginning on a specific date is a direct message.

Just need short sentences not too long.

 

For question# 1 here is my autobiography that I sent:

 

I have been here in the United States for two years. When I came here I started to learn English as a second language. I’ve taken writing classes here at ***, such as, RWS92, LING100, and LING200, and my experience in writing has been improved from these classes. My fears are that I’m learning English as a second language and I’m not familiar with the business communication, since I’ve never worked and I don’t have any experience. One thing about me that I prefer to use my laptop in the class, because it helps me a lot with spelling and translating words that I don’t know to get a better knowledge.

 

thank you
