Abstract
Successful management of the media is a key element of politics today. This paper assesses the manner, and extent to which, the US administration and the media cooperate to manufacture consent. It highlights the extent to which The New York Times merely restates the administration's position and relies principally on administration sources. The influence outside of the US, in Canada, is also briefly examined.

Abstract
This paper explains that two major problems in health care today in the U.S. are staffing shortages and the health care needs of the retiring baby boomer generation. The paper also explains that there are ways that hospital administrators can address these problems and describes what these methods are.
From the Paper
"Two major problems in health care today that can be addressed by hospital administrators are staffing shortages, and the health care needs of the retiring baby boomer generation. The issue of staffing in America's hospitals began when salaries were cut, working conditions became inadequate, and overtime was mandatory at many health care facilities. Because of these factors many nurses left the health care field, and those that were considering nursing careers chose other professions. Now, as the baby boomer generation prepares to retire in massive numbers, Americans are concerned that there will not be a sufficient number of nurses to care for this aging population. Yet, hospital administrators have the ability to begin a resolution to each of these issues. Staffing shortages in health care are primarily evident in the nursing field, with fewer individuals in these groups comprising the staff at..."

Abstract
In the early 1990s, under the Clinton administration, a system of national healthcare was proposed for the United States. Although the plan failed, many Americans still believe that they would be better off if the government paid for the costs of healthcare. This paper examines both sides of the argument - those who are pro-national healthcare and those who believe that the physician-patient relationship is not the proper province of government. The paper examines Europe's policy of state sponsored healthcare to compare with the United States.
From the Paper
"So, no matter how many facts and figures each side brings to the table, the basic argument remains -- is the field of Healthcare appropriate for federal intervention? Regardless of the scope of European successes, regardless of the contribution to the general welfare, and regardless of its equalizing propensities, the use of federal dollars to pay for Healthcare in the United States will remain controversial. It is not that one side does not wish to help the other, the well-off to help the unfortunate, but rather that there is a difference of opinion on the ultimate extent of personal responsibility. For so long Americans have made so much of the concept of "self-reliance" that the mere mention of the creation of a new government program conjures up images of an uncontrollable and meddlesome monster."

The United States War Doctrine, 2007.
This paper argues against President George W. Bush's war policies.
2,099 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the attacks of 9/11 should not have been unanswered by our government's war policy, but the characteristic of military engagement has translated into little-to-no progress and an increasingly negative international image for the United States. The paper contrasts the multiple foreign interventions of President Ronald Reagan's administration in response to the threat of Communism during the Cold War. The paper notes how the Reagan policies were far more successful. The paper contends that until the Bush Administration revamps its methodology in war policy, we will continue to be plagued by a restricted economy and the disturbing images of war and terror.
From the Paper
"Over five years ago on a Tuesday fall morning the people of the United States became victims of the single most deadly and hideous terrorist act ever recorded in history. Americans woke up that morning with an everlasting sense of security within the borders of their hegemon nation but hesitantly retired to bed on that same day questioning their safety and future in the United States. The television images seen by Americans and the dusty chaos experienced by surviving New Yorkers scarred every citizen's memory and marked the beginning of a new era for America. The World watched and then waited to see what the Bush administration was going to do in response to the terrorist acts committed by a handful of Middle Eastern radicals."

Abstract
The paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its potential benefit to the United States, as well as to the remainder of the international community. The paper criticizes the Bush administration's opposition to the treaty, as it explains the faults of arguments raised by the ICC's opponents.
From the Paper
"The prosecution of the most ruthless war criminals, it is widely agreed, is a worthy goal that all nations should pursue. A universal court, it seems, is based on the assumption that the prosecution of such abhorrent war criminals supercedes the value of national sovereignty, as all nations should be able to agree on crimes that are incompatible with the values of any civilization, nation-state, or any other tribal association. But during the years of the Cold War and the de-colonization processes reaching such a universally binding goal was not possible; with the end of the Cold War, the movement towards the creation of an international court began (Carter & Jackson 2002). While the crimes that the court should address are generally agreed on, other issues such as its effect on states? citizens throughout the globe turned out to be an obstacle that induced the United States, as well as a handful of other states, to oppose the jurisdiction of the court. While the US has legitimate concerns vis-?-vis the ICC, it is an imperative that American policymakers support the vision of a universal court and eventually act to ratify the American support."

"The United States was once under British rule and in fact the American Revolution was fought for the purpose of removing the U.S. Colonies from the rule of the British. The American Revolution was fought and independence was won establishing America as an independent and separate nation from Great Britain but only after a grueling war. Great Britain was determined to keep the Colonies under British rule and after an attack on Charleston and lives having been lost the colonists stated their intentions in a document entitled "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities to Take up Arms" and the action to break away from what most considered to be their mother country began. It has been stated in history that most of the colonists identified with the British and that many of the colonists considered themselves to be Britons."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The third model is the 'public interest model' (PI) stated to have as its cornerstone "...the efficacy of science" which was believed by reformers of the late 19th century to be the solution to "current public problems and inculate morality." (Rabin, Hildreth, and Miller, 1998) there was a stated need of creation of "governmental structures that empower experts: people who possessed relevant scientific knowledge. Expertise would be indicated by educational credentials, beginning the American concern, if not obsession, with academic degrees." (Rabin, Hildreth, and Miller, 1998) This is a concept of science "which is more correctly termed 'technology'. It is stated that reformers held the perception of there being very little limitations "to the efficacy of science and its ability to solve all current problems by the application of unbiased general laws." (Rabin, Hildreth, and Miller, 1998) This belief is stated to be derived in philosophy from what is known as the Enlightenment movement." (Rabin, Hildreth, and Miller, 1998) Within this framework "rationality was seen as not only desirable but also feasible in an era of urban-centered technology. (Rabin, Hildreth, and Miller, 1998) Stated as a critical element of the "new politico-administrative system was management, since science enables administrators to be rational." (Rabin, Hildreth, and Miller, 1998)"

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the history, aims and actions of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The writer notes that during its evolution, the Food and Drug Administration has encountered numerous important problems which have created the necessity to enact and implement many laws and legislation. The writer discusses that the FDA petitioned for changes in laws concerning, among other issues, the quality of foods and the therapeutic claims of drugs. In conclusion, the writer maintains that the Food and Drug Administration is a professional and ever-evolving agency which has acted not only as a pioneer but has also maintained itself as a world leader in its field. Of course, leadership is a lonely road and despite recent criticism and media backlash, the writer feels that the agency has done an excellent job protecting the American people and has upheld its mission statement to the best of its ability.
From the Paper
"Generally speaking, drugs were considered adulterated when their standards of strength, quality, or purity differed or fell below that of the United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary. Misbranding occurred when drugs were imitated, offered for sale under the name of another product, and/or the contents of the package having been wholly or partly removed with other contents put in its place. Misbranding also took place when the package failed to state the presence of alcohol, morphine, opium, cocaine, heroine, alpha or beta eucaine, chloroform, cannabis indica, chloral hydrate or acetanilide on its labeling. Confectionaries were considered adulterated when they contained alcohol, any narcotic drug, terra alba, barites, talc, chrome yellow, other mineral substances, poisonous colors or ingredients detrimental to one's health."

Foreign Policy, Media Diplomacy and Propaganda, 2006.
This paper examines the role of media diplomacy, public diplomacy and propaganda in the reporting of the meeting between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel on April 15, 2004.

Abstract
The paper looks at several different reports of this event and analyzes how the use of media and public diplomacy, along with propaganda, shape the way in which news is actually reported. The paper discusses how the United States focused on the commitment to fighting terrorism as its outcome of the meeting, the Middle-East focused on the United States' public support of the continued oppression of the Palestinians while the United Kingdom saw it as another act of arrogance by the Bush administration and used it as an attack on its own Prime Minister. The paper shows how vastly different the reports of one event can be and what one event can mean to so many different people.
From the Paper
"Public and media diplomacy are closely related and often confused with each other. Public diplomacy is defined as a one-sided, usually half truthful communication designed to persuade public opinion where media diplomacy is essentially the same but uses a television medium to get the point across either locally or internationally. Many media and press outlets utilized this particular event to get their one-sided point across to the only audience that mattered, the one that was listening."

Abstract
The paper identifies and addresses the key issues pertaining to effective corrections administration. These issues are identified in respect to their historical context and the outcomes that are achieved when policy and practice are implemented and maintained within the correctional facility.
Outline:
Introduction
Changing Organizational Dynamics
Duties of the Administrator
Popular Leadership Models
From the Paper
"Winterdyk (2004) suggests that the foremost consideration in the adult correctional institution is the recognition by administrators and policymakers that many distinctive and seemingly separate areas of the institution are in fact directly connected. He writes that "it is generally accepted that in order to examine anything related to criminal justice in a comparative context, a historical perspective is also required since the phenomenal being studied [...] have developed and evolved under unique economic, political, and social structures" (p. 2). However, he continues to note that a new trend in "comparative issues analysis" has begun, wherein it is increasingly evident that areas of the correctional system are in fact heavily interconnected (p. 6 - 7). This indicates that a broader, more effective study of organizational dynamics within the correctional institution can be accomplished through integration of themes and information that has been acquired in these other domains."

Abstract
This paper introduces the issue of public administration and then discusses four major theories of public administration: the Hamiltonian Tradition, the Jeffersonian Tradition, the Madisonian Tradition, and Wilsonian Tradition. The paper then compares these traditions and provides an analysis of the traditions and today?s U.S. executive administration.
From the Paper
"Alexander Hamilton?s insistence on a strong executive branch was not based solely on his desire to push his own philosophy of public administration on the young nation. He had seen the failure of the Articles of Confederation in its attempt to solidify the country; states quarreled about everything before ratifying the Articles, and some even went out on a limb and had their own foreign policy. States couldn?t agree on paying for a national army, nor on taxation and spending. Hamilton?s balancing act was, how does the country create an executive ?powerful enough to make the government strong? (Kettl, page 30) and yet how does the country prevent a concentration of too much authority and power in the White House? Hamilton had plenty of experience in executive decision-making, as he was the very first treasury secretary in the nation; and it was his authorship of documents on public credit, national banking, and manufacturing that later formed the basis of the executive branch of national government."
