In recent months, there can be no denying that the 'Aam Aadmi party' has not only dominated the media and the newspapers but has also been the subject of talk in many households across India. It still may seem early to judge and scale the party so far, but the Aam Aadmi party's exposure and experience in the political world remains an area of concern. The subject that I'm sure not only concerns me but I'm sure concerns many other individuals also is the economic policy of the Aam Aadmi party . Whether a political party like the Aam Aadmi Party will be able to pull of the task of ensuring economic progression amongst the common or 'aam' citizen of India remains a question unanswered.
I am sure we all are aware that the Aam Aadmi Party's economic policy will revolve around empowering the people belonging to the ordinary or lower class and the elite or oligarchs will have a run for their money. For once we can anticipate a decrease in crony-capitalism that has harmed the country in a profound way especially in the last decade. What the AAP proposes is to take money from the rich and it over to the poor however in modern economic terms this model just cannot be acceptable. We must keep in mind that poverty is not the only area to be tackled in an economic revival but factors such as growth is essential for emerging economies. Unfortunately India’s rate growth is slowly relenting and leaving out areas such as growth for an economic nation will definitely be detrimental for a country like ours. I firmly believe the lack of experience and lack of knowledge on how an economy functions is where the aap will fall short. It is necessary the crony capitalism ends in our country however there are more economic friendly ways of doing it wh...

... end( at least hopefully) and we can rely on a government which does not eat our money for all the wrong things and pocket it themselves is heartening to see. Hopefully we can see an end to an economy adversely harmed by corruption and selfish deals. Crony capitalism cannot last forever and I'm certain that this is one aspect of the economy that the AAP are going to deal with well.
To conclude, in no way am I criticizing the AAP and nor am I pinpointing or targeting any individuals, but to the contrary I am massively impressed by their ideology . As a concerned citizen I am just pondering over the possible flaws that their economic policy could have and points that every citizen should be aware of. Whether they will get the chance to implement these policies and whether they make much needed changes in the economic approach will only be known in the near future.
The summer of 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson finally decided to sign the Civil Rights Act. This bill permitted people of all races and skin tones to be free from segregation. It promised the extension on voting rights, stronger equal employment opportunities, and guaranteed all Americans the right to use public facilities such as schools, restaurants and swimming pools (Politics or Principle 405). Many Americans questioned if the true decision behind President Johnson signing the civil rights act of 1964 was political or principle. I strongly believe Johnson signed it in a principle matter due to seeing different perspectives in living with prejudice, he would do anything to get the bill signed and he was finally free from the South's persuasive bonds.
The La Raza Unida Party began in the 1960’s as a social movement in the small South Texas town of Crystal City. Although Mexican Americans made up the majority of the population at 85% they had very little clout within the political landscape, which was dominated by Anglos. The Mexican Americans experienced no political representation and many were denied the right to vote because they didn’t speak or read English and many could not afford the poll taxes. The discrimination experienced by the Mexican Americans in this small town was comparable to the discrimination of African Americans in the Deep South, yet the brave Mexican’s in Crystal City, Texas chose to band together to generate change, awareness, and hope in creating new perspectives with respect to politics.
To wrap up, I think that the New Deal is a good start to a long process to fix
George Orwell’s 1984 novel goes through the life of Winston who is trying to resist the power of the totalitarian government of Oceania known as The Party. Although the proles do seem to be marginalized by the inner party, they aren’t aware of it. They are free and have the sense of individualism to live their life. On the other hand, the outer party is aware of the Party’s manipulative powers, and they are capable of rebellion. Because of this, they are put under severe monitoring. Through showing different ways the Party exercises their supreme power, Orwell marginalizes the outer party.
The United States, comprised of much political diversity, has only two major political parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The Republican Party was founded by anti-slavery activists on March 20th, 1854, and is represented by its mascot, the elephant. Often referred to as the “Grand Old Party”, or GOP, Republicans favor customs that exude traditional Christian values with a platform based on American Conservatism. As a Christian myself, the values I share with Republican ideals are a main reason I side with the Republican Party.
Political Analysis Political analysis is the method by which the judgement upon any political event, in any part of the world, is performed. It is based on the perception of the political reality of the region or the country in question and the perception of the relationship of this political reality with international politics. In order to perceive the international situation and international politics, it is imperative to have general outlines that explain the political reality of every state and the relationships of these states with the other states of the world, especially the major powers that influence the progress of events in the world. Since the Islamic Ummah is commanded to carry the Islamic Da'wah to all people, it is therefore obligatory upon the Muslims to be in touch with the world with awareness of its conditions and perception of its problems. The Muslims must acquaint themselves with what motivates the states and the peoples and pursue the political actions that occur in the world.
During Mao's era, ideological fervor provided the basis of the Party's right to rule. However, since Deng Xiaoping's market reforms in the late 70's and 80's, the CCP has increasingly relied upon economic progress as a source of political legitimacy. The Party has promised economic prosperity in return for the undisputed right to rule. Any slowdown in economic growth could potentially lead to political instability. Therefore, all available resources are directed to maintaining a healthy pace of economic growth (Yu p. 186).
The Aam Aadmi Party, on the other hand, believed that the safeguards provided by the constitution of ‘equality and justice for all’ had been breached. They believed that India’s political and economic elites had taken advantage of their position at the expense of the common man. Thus came about the name of the party- the Aam Aadmi Party or the Common Man Party. Even through its election symbol of the broom, which symbolizes the dignity of all labor, AAP aligns itself to the Marxist message of the importance of the
Many people do not realize that Indian people are around us everyday. They could be our neighbors, our bus driver, or anyone that we see on a daily bases. In Thomas King’s essay “You’re not the Indian I Had in Mind,” and his video “I’m not the Indian You Had in Mind,” he exemplifies the stereotype that many people make about Indians. King mentions in his essay that people always would say to him, “you’re not the Indian I had in mind,” because he did not look like the stereotypical Indian. Through King’s essay and video, I have been educated about this stereotype that I was unaware of. Since I now have an understanding of how unrealistic this stereotype is, I now can educate friends and family members on this issue.
Party identification is the political party that an individual categorizes them self with. Political parties came about as a way to organize citizens with similar beliefs and attitudes. These parties then attempt to influence the government by electing members into office. Today there are two main parties people can identify: Republican and Democrat. There is also a third choice, being an Independent, but for the purpose of this paper this group will not be recognized as a political party. These reasons will be discussed later. There are many different theories as to why people do or do not identify with a political party, including social psychology, issue related, and psychological attachments. I believe the social psychology theory has the right idea. Sociology is about studying human society and how it develops and functions. So, it makes sense that social factors would have a big impact on whether we identify with a political party or not.
The Federalist Party is the best choice over the Democratic – Republican Party. However; there are many flaws in the Federalist Party being the elite aristocrats, but every citizen desires for a strong united nation. Among our primary aims, national cohesiveness and unity lies at the core of the Federalist Party values. The above aims can only be achieved if a fiscal sound and nationalistic government is developed. Through it, the rule of law by the constitution is achieved. On the other hand, a nation cannot take pride in itself if it is unable to support itself economically. Because of this, the Federalist Party believes in the admonition of industrialization, which would lead to economic development. At this period where the abuse of power

India was pushed into the global market in the 90’s by IMF (International Monetary Fund) and in May of 1991, their government started a policy. The “New Economic Policy” this policy was a Structural Adjustment Programme. Due to this program, the value of their currency went down, social development programmes also decreased, and industries were now privately owned. When these social programs were cut back it made it harder for their citizens to receive an education, and healthcare. The effects of this policy were extremely bad for the women in India, especially since they are often discriminated against in terms of how much food, healthcare, and education they receive (Sarap, Das, and Nagala 2013:456). Education was considered nonessential and luxurious, and 62% of the females did not receive any form of education (Argiropoulos and Rajagopal 2003:613). The lack of education lead these women in being a part of the reserve army of labor, or the
It is in my opinion that government intervention, though necessary in certain circumstances, should be largely limited to its role in protecting property rights, upholding the rule of law, and maintaining the value of the currency. The market itself is best at deciding how and when to manufacture its goods and it is unnecessary for the government to step in to try and improve the efficiency of the economy. One should look to the entrepreneurial creativity of millions who are willing to risk their own resources and reputations in order to progress our country. Before you place your trust in such entrepreneurs however, you should gain an understanding of the differences between political and market entrepreneurship as well as how government subsidies can undermine our economy in such a deceitful manner.
As a result, research and public policies are designed to try and solve the problems. Dye (2008, p 7) observed that, in the American context the problems faced by communities include; ingnorance, crime, poverty, racial conflict, inequality, poor housing and ill health. It follows that in attempting to resovle these issues there are limitations that disturb the good process of public policy for the benefit of the society. Dye (2008, p 7) said, “there are many reasons for tempering our enthusiasim for policy analysis, some of which are illustrated in the battle over education policy”. The reasons or limitaions include; limits on government power, disagreement over the problem and complexity of human behavior. Argawal and Somanathan (2005, p 13) has discussed the shortcomings to public policy in resovling economic and political issues as excessive overlap between policy making and implementation in the context of India and some of those are; excessive fragmentation in thinking and action, excessive overlap between policy making and implementation, lack of non-governmental inputs and informed debate, lack of systematic analysis and integration prior to policy-making and reforming the policy-making
