Recommended: The ways which govt affect our daily life

Every decision made by a key politician or governing body will inevitably affect peoples’ lives, positively or otherwise. I first had an inkling of this concept when my country was struck with the SARS outbreak of 2003. The manner in which my Government handled the various aspects of the crisis was so meticulous that it fascinated me greatly. Its intricate complexity and relevance to my everyday life had further intrigued my younger self. I have since aspired to be able to influence and aid my nation in the way that my Government did.

This interest evolved into a passion as I received the opportunity to be a runner in a school-based Model United Nations (MUN) conference. I was then recognised for my dedication, patience and diligence in these conferences by my school. This then allowed me to represent my school as the Head Delegate for two other Model United Nations conferences following the initial one that I had attended. Finally, due to my experience and remarkable flair for such conferences, I was then placed as the leader of the organising committee (Secretary General) in my s...

    Democracy is rule by the people; the people elect governing officials based off of their personal values and beliefs. Different political parties rule the political scene and are serving to represent the people’s opinions in the best ways possible. Previously, I had a belief that my political view was essentially the only one possible and therefore it was the best. These views changed quickly once I learned the different political parties, their views, how they represent the people’s views, and how public opinion shapes politics. The government is formed around differentiating opinions on which policies should be in place and which social aspects need to be considered first. Not only is the government guided by opinion, but the people’s lives are guided by opinion as well. Each individual holds a different view, and each view can have an influence on society. Fortunately, after roughly eight weeks of studying American Government, I now have a better sense of complexity and the value of

    Ever since my seventh grade teacher taught me the rudiments of government, I have always loved politics. Every time an election is coming, I eagerly await new polling and predictions. Of course, no time is more exciting than when the actual results come in. In addition, reading political journalistic articles has added to my knowledge to this particular realm. My added knowledge has helped me immensely in many of my subjects in high school, including history, government, and economics. For example, many of my classmates struggled in our recent class about United States government. Because of my acumen about current political affair and the foundational basics of government, I was able to excel in that class while in turn helping many of my peers.

    We should bring to thought the idea that within every action or speech it has an effect to something or someone. C. Write Mills the author of the text “The Sociological Imagination”(1959) he discusses that we all have a cause in this world and we are connected to everyone and everything. If we would like to change the standards of something it is capable. Mills connects the notion of how people feel when confronted with something they think they cannot handle, but everyone is capable of doing. He states; “Is it any wonder that ordinary men feel they can cope with the larger worlds with which they are so suddenly confronted.” Mills is describing that sometimes men feel as if they cannot change something that is in a larger social problem (War, Animal Cruelty, Child Hunger ,etc…) But this question is raised for us to go out of the thinking routine and discover the answer that we can fulfil anything we want with one simple thing to take action. Because we are part of this s...

  • Public Administration And Public Choice Essay

    Persons studying public choice do not consider that government officials are in fact concerned with public interests. The dispute here is that these administrators function in an environment which replicates poor communication on current political issues or just do not care to address these issues. Administrators do not focus on public choice since their main objective is policy making process. It is certain in all societies that there will be self-interest in all aspects of public policy making. For example, government officials will prepare a country’s budget based on their own self-interest and how they can be benefitted mostly.

    In today's world, economics associated disciplines are of fundamental significance and application and this has encouraged me to pursue a degree in Economics. Economics has an important relevance in all of our lives. As consumers we try to make the best of our limited incomes. As workers we take our place in the job market. As citizens of a country our lives are affected by the decisions of our government: decisions over taxes, decisions over spending on health and education, decisions on interest rates, decisions that affect unemployment, inflation and growth. As dwellers on the planet Earth we are affected by the economic decisions of each other: the air we breathe, the water we drink and the environment we leave for future generations are all affected by the economic decisions taken by the human race. It is these stimulating issues that excite me about economics. I enjoy studying Economics enormously and believe my passionate interest in economics is continually strengthened by my regular reading of 'The Economist'
