Roosevelt asked Congress for broad executive powers to address the economic crisis, marking the beginning of his New Deal program and the evolution of classical liberalism into modern liberalism. Throughout history, governing systems change and adapt to meet the needs of the people, as rejecting systems that no longer provide for needs has led to revolutions and new systems being formed by populations to better suit their needs. Liberalism itself was formed as a system to address needs that previous systems no longer met.
The document discusses opportunities for television advertising in light of the growing use of digital video recorders (DVRs). It summarizes that by 2007, 24.7 million US homes will have DVRs, allowing one-fourth of homes to fast forward through commercials. It then discusses various emerging advertising formats that can reach viewers who use DVRs, such as targeted advertising, video on demand advertising, DVR downloads, and branded entertainment. The document advocates that advertisers explore these new formats while DVR penetration is still low.
Canada has a representative democracy where citizens elect candidates to represent them in government. This system has worked well for Canada's needs and the people are generally satisfied with it. An authoritarian government would not be suitable for Canada as it goes against Canadian values of restricting single individuals' power. Authoritarian systems also fail to account for diverse public opinions and do not last as societies' needs change over time. As Canadians are currently content with the representative democracy, it remains the best system for meeting Canada's current needs.
The document summarizes key aspects of liberalism and rejections of liberalism through history. It discusses the philosophies of classical liberal thinkers like John Locke, John Stuart Mill, and Karl Marx. It then analyzes circumstances in Germany and Russia that made communism and fascism appealing rejections of liberalism, including economic turmoil after WWI and the Russian Revolution. Elements of liberalism present in communism and fascism are noted. Justifications for the rejections of liberalism in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia are provided due to citizens' desperation for stability. Contemporary rejections like the Taliban are also briefly discussed.
The document discusses the complex issue of suspending individual rights and freedoms. It argues that while rights are important, their suspension may be necessary to protect life and safety during emergencies. However, there are risks like government overreach if not limited. Examples show governments enacting and updating legislation to suspend rights temporarily during crises while placing restrictions to prevent abuse and ensure rights are restored. The suspension of rights becomes justified when more fundamental rights to life and safety are threatened, as long as limits are kept on how much power governments can take.
Depression and desperation increased as liberal policies focused on self-interest and competition without welfare or safety nets, causing the poor to get poorer while the rich got richer and the poor became more desperate.
The document contains the results of a beliefs and values inventory where the respondent answered questions about their perspectives on various topics. Their overall statement emphasizes that:
1) There is a time and place for everything and people should consider how their actions might affect others before implementing change.
2) Cooperation and teamwork are often better ways to achieve goals and move forward than competition or one person acting alone.
3) Rules are sometimes important for the good of everyone and should be obeyed, but other times regulations can be inconvenient and worth speaking up about changing.
The document discusses different ideologies through examples from Inuit society and perspectives on individualism and liberalism. It summarizes that Inuit society has shifted from a more collectivist approach of sharing resources to embracing individualism and private property. It also analyzes a quote depicting classical liberalism's focus on self-interest and competition. Finally, it notes how contemporary liberalism balances individual interests with collective interests through policies like welfare capitalism.
The document appears to be an inventory of beliefs and values where the respondent has indicated their level of agreement with various statements on a scale of Often, Sometimes, or No. Some key beliefs that received Often agreement include: things run better if planned by a team rather than one person; when people agree they can accomplish anything; we are only as strong as our weakest link. Statements receiving Sometimes agreement relate to taking care of others, being responsible for one's actions, personal fulfillment coming from accomplishments or helping others. The respondent expresses that there is a time and place for everything and people should consider effects on all before implementing change.

Modern Liberalism evolved in response to the failures of Classical Liberalism during the Great Depression. Classical Liberalism failed to meet the needs of the masses, risking revolt and systemic collapse. Franklin Roosevelt introduced the New Deal, expanding executive power to intervene in the economy. This marked the beginning of Modern Liberalism in the United States. Modern Liberalism, influenced by the ideas of Keynes, takes from economic surpluses to provide assistance during downturns. This evens out booms and busts, preventing the accumulation of desperate populations that could destabilize the system. Canada provides an example of the stability and popularity of the Modern Liberal system, with an economy that has not drastically declined under its established form of governance.

The document summarizes the author's experiences playing hockey over the past year. It discusses playing midget hockey and getting injured, playing a few games with the Central Alberta Juniors, and playing spring AAA hockey. It also mentions participating in track and field, winning a bronze medal in discus at provincials, and volunteering with MADD.
The document discusses three sources that take different positions on classical liberalism and modern liberalism. The first source supports modern liberalism and the idea of a welfare state that reduces fear and insecurity. The second and third sources support classical liberalism and are critical of socialism and policies that redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor. They view economic success as stemming from self-interest and competition rather than assistance for those who are less fortunate. Overall, the document analyzes the different stances the three sources take regarding theories of liberalism and their implications for economic systems and wealth distribution.
Any governing system must adequately meet the needs of its people or it will fail. Forcibly imposing a system on people will not have positive results, as humans naturally protect what they view as theirs. A governing system can only be supported if it is put in place and accepted by the people it governs. While intervention may seem helpful from the outside perspective, freedom can only be attained by those who want it, so foreign powers should not try to impose democratic systems but rather allow people to choose their own path.
Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge rose to power in Cambodia by exploiting dissatisfaction with the corrupt and oppressive previous government. Pol Pot aimed to establish a communist system to address poverty, but he and the Khmer Rouge were misguided and unprepared for governance. Their harsh rule and brutal policies led to the deaths of about one in seven Cambodians. While Pol Pot maintained loyalty from his inner circle through charismatic leadership, the Cambodian people grew discontent with the Khmer Rouge due to war, famine, and lack of improvement. The Khmer Rouge eventually turned on itself and Pol Pot was exiled, dying before facing trial for his crimes against humanity. Governments that ignore the will of the people they represent
1) The document discusses how facing uncertainty and problems in life can overwhelm us or restrict our thinking, making it hard to find solutions.
2) It argues that escaping our normal environment and thoughts by retreating into unrelated activities can provide new perspective and allow us to see problems in a new light.
3) The author finds that playing hockey provides an escape where they don't have to worry about responsibilities or who they are, allowing new thoughts and answers to surface.
Depression and desperation increased as liberal policies focused on self-interest and competition without welfare or safety nets, causing the poor to get poorer while the rich got richer and the poor became more desperate.
