Sex And/Or Scandal: How They Extend And Illuminate The Study Of Past Societies And Cultures
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Sex and scandal have existed synonymously throughout history, serving to extend and illuminate the study of past societies and cultures all the way back to ancient Greece. That the two work synergistically when paired – and not necessarily in a positive manner – speaks to the inherent connection between forbidden temptation and humanity's innate desires. Associating sex and scandal with the political world is no less commonplace than correlating the cohesive existence of alcohol and drugs: each respective element is inexplicably drawn to the other. To examine political sex scandals as limiting the overall accurate historical perspective of a given culture and/or society is to understand how a handful of political representatives do not necessarily reflect the higher moral integrity of their constituency.

Teddy Roosevelt and the Progressive Movement
[ send me this paper ]
(10 pp) Progressives were a loosely knit group of activists, who occasionally even seemed opposed to each other. According to Schulz (2000), while not opposed to capitalism as a concept they did want to change the relationship of labor to business. Immigration was viewed as a 'problem.' Some felt the solution was the 'Americanization' of immigrants; others felt immigration should be restricted by legislation. Private utilities and transportation methods should have some regulations; others felt the government should straighten out 'the whole mess.' Political reform was a necessity. Could it be done, by eliminating the 'political machine,' or were there other solutions? We might say that during this time the country was beginning to 're-think' itself, and looked for a leader who could either provide answers or guidance. Teddy Roosevelt was just the guy for the job! Bibliography lists 6 sources and two photographs of the President.

The Appropriate Use Of A United States Presidential Pardon
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The powers inherent to America's highest political office are both grand and far-reaching to such an extent that decisions are made and policy is upheld that exists nowhere else. Inasmuch as upholding the office of United States president innately affords one the opportunity to wield certain power privileges as supported by the Constitution, one of these advantage – as written in Article II, Section II of this historical document – states how the president "shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment" (U.S. Constitution). According to Ashley M. Steiner's "Remission Of Guilt Or Removal Of Punishment? The Effects Of A Presidential Pardon," however, there is a great deal of concern over the reason presidential pardons existed in the first place. Was it included as a means by which to "blot out all guilt for a crime" (Steiner 959) or merely to "remove the punishment for the crime" (Steiner 959)? Either way, the historic perspective of presidential pardons – both public and private – has often been less than flattering. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

A 15 page paper discussing the management technique of this president. President George Bush is maligned by some, labeled ineffective by others.

Of course a single person cannot "run" the government, and his success largely depends on his ability to exercise sound management and surround himself with good people. George Bush was deficient in both areas. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

On a more fortunate note, however, Clinton's term was temporary and the American Presidency lives on even in his absence. In all Clinton did nothing towards changing the institution of the presidency itself. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
