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.

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.Servant leadership

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.Lokaj Grupoj en Usono: La nuna stato

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.Sociocracy

Noam Chomsky was interviewed about his views on anarchism, Marxism, and hope for the future. He discusses being attracted to anarchism as a teenager because it challenges all unjustified structures of authority and hierarchy. He sees anarchism as advocating placing the burden of proof on authority and dismantling it if its justification cannot be met. Chomsky notes the achievements of the Spanish Revolution, where millions of workers and peasants established grassroots democracy to manage production through participatory means. He is skeptical of some leftist traditions like Bolshevism that were elitist in viewing workers as only capable of "trade union consciousness" rather than deeper political thought.We media and democracy student revision ppt

After the fall of Rome, within Western civilizations, the Church ultimately became interwoven with the centralized power of the appointed kings and queens. But over time, philosophers, and then the people, wondered if this was the best way to organize a government. They began by questioning the Church's role in government, and ultimately expanded into an examination of the need for monarchies in general.
These thoughts began with the work of Niccolo Machiavelli in Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries. In The Prince, Machiavelli discusses the role of power in maintaining rule. Although not a direct link to democratic thought because he is advising a prince on how to keep his control over the people, his work was one of the first to hint at a need for a separation of church and state, which is a concept that still elicits controversy today.
Roughly a century later, Thomas Hobbes also questioned the role of the Church within the government. In writing Leviathan, Hobbes advocated the need for a large governmental structure (thus a leviathan) to rule over the people and he began to question the role of the Church in this process. Although a supporter of authoritarian governments, Hobbes was not a supporter of the Church's power within government. Outside of this premise, he is also known for coining the phrase "state of nature." This idea stems from his examination of what people look like without any government. He saw this state as very bleak, representing utter chaos and strife, because he theorized that without a strong ruling government to keep the peace, people would be at war with one another as they attempted to seize power from one another as a means of getting what they desired and as a way to avoid what they did not. However, in contrast to what he was proposing, by looking at humanity at its core, he introduced the idea of humanity as thinking for itself, which is the foundation of any democracy.
It was this concept that John Locke then built upon a few decades later by suggesting that the people move away from an all-oppressive ruler to a government based upon the rule of the citizens with a system of checks and balances,.

The document summarizes the flaws with both conservative and liberal extremes when applied to systems of government. It argues that neither a minimal centralized government approach favored by conservatives nor a maximal socialist approach favored by some liberals have ever proven effective when implemented in real world governments. According to the author, this is because systems that deny the basic human drives of fear and greed cannot properly control or motivate society. The most effective solutions are those that do the most good for citizens rather than being most popular or ideological, and are fair and efficient rather than purely conservative or liberal. The conclusion is that some form of smart government is needed rather than one that is either too big or small.Federalist Papers No 28, Restraining Legislative Authority of Common Defense (3)

There are three main points discussed in the document:
1) It explores how there can be a moral right to revolution even if there is no juridical right, by considering Locke's view that a sovereign loses authority by abusing its powers. This means revolution need not lead to a state of nature.
2) It examines the conditions for a just revolution based on just war theory, including proportional means and not targeting civilians. However, revolutionaries often face dilemmas in meeting these conditions.
3) It discusses Allen Buchanan's view that revolutions rarely meet just war criteria while ensuring success, though external support could help. Overall, a moral right to revolution can exist if revolutionaries' actions do notMEDIA CONTROL - Noam Chomsky

The document discusses different conceptions of democracy and the role of media and propaganda. It summarizes that some theorists argue democracy requires a "bewildered herd" of citizens who are spectators rather than participants in decision making, which is left to an elite "specialized class". The successes of Woodrow Wilson's Creel Commission in manipulating public opinion through propaganda showed how the public could be influenced en masse. Some theorists like Walter Lippmann argued this system of "manufacturing consent" was necessary, as the interests of the majority elude them and are best determined by experts. Propaganda was thus seen as important in democracies to keep the public distracted while an elite few make decisions.MEDIA CONTROL - Noam Chomsky

The document discusses different conceptions of democracy and the role of media and propaganda. It summarizes that some theorists view democracy as the public being barred from managing their own affairs and information being strictly controlled. Another view is that the public should have means to participate and access open information. The document outlines how early 20th century US government propaganda successfully turned public opinion to support entering WWI. This taught leaders that propaganda supported by elites can influence people. Some theorists then argued that a small group of "responsible men" understand the public interest better than the "bewildered herd" of citizens. They believe democracy works by the public occasionally choosing leaders, but otherwise being distracted spectators. The document critiques this view that thePosition paper 0610

This document discusses the principles of modern liberalism and when it is acceptable to suppress human rights within that framework. It argues that modern liberalism generally promotes individual freedoms and human rights but that governments may suppress some rights during times of crisis like war or terrorist threats. As an example, it discusses how the Patriot Act passed after 9/11 restricted some rights in the name of national security. While controversial, measures like this aim to protect citizens when serious dangers arise. Overall, the document supports modern liberalism but acknowledges that governments must have flexibility to modify it during emergencies to fulfill their duty of protecting public safety.Authoritarian Media

Authoritarian media theory holds that all forms of communication are under the strict control of governing elites or authorities. The theory originated from philosophers like Plato who believed power should be concentrated among a few wise individuals. Under this theory, media ownership can be both public and private but content is tightly controlled by the state through censorship, licensing, and other regulations to maintain the status quo. Critics argue it violates freedom of expression and denies people's right to information. Some modern regimes have adopted competitive authoritarianism, combining some democratic processes with authoritarian control over media and harassment of opposition voices.Normative/functionalist theories of press

Normative theories provide ideal views of how media should operate in terms of both structure and performance. The document discusses four main normative theories of the press: authoritarian, libertarian, social responsibility, and Soviet communist. The authoritarian theory views media as subordinate to state authority, while the libertarian theory advocates for media freedom from government control within a free market system. The social responsibility theory holds that media have obligations to society as well as rights of expression.Western Civilization

- Political thinkers have historically distinguished between competent political elites and the incompetent masses, though this distinction is controversial in democracies.
- Democratic and totalitarian regimes differ in how the ruling elite maintains power and allegiance - democratic elites use persuasion and allow themselves to be voted out, while totalitarian regimes use force and intend to rule for life.
- Contemporary liberal democracies are often described as "rule by competing elites" where elites gain power through elections and are replaced when incompetent, though who exactly comprises the political elite remains contentious.Theories of Sovereignty

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.More Related Content

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.Part3 v

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.Responsibility in afghanistan

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

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.

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.Individual resistance 4

Most people are used to receiving regular monthly pay cheques, hopefully with the occasional bonus and an annual rise. But while this is often taken for granted, for other workers the size and timing of their pay cheques are far more volatile with knock on effects on their ability to pay bills, save, plan ahead and smooth their living standards over time. But with Brits notoriously adverse to talking about pay, the scale of earnings volatility across the country is unknown.
How many workers are subject to volatile earnings, and how much does the timing and size vary from pay cheque to pay cheque? Who is most likely to experience earnings volatility, and in which industries is it most prevalent? What are the wider living standards consequences for families? And what can policy makers do to mitigate the impacts of unpredictable earnings?The Johns Hopkins Maya Trial_ A Landmark Case of Medical Negligence.docx

- 1. I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis--- broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were invaded by a foreign foe This quote marks the start of Roosevelts New Deal which is what evolved Classical Liberalism into what it is now, Modern Liberalism. In any government system the needs of the people are what shape the system. Through the past we have seen many societies reject their form of government when it is no longer adequately meeting their needs. Through this there is a clear pattern that governing systems are not embraced but created and constantly changing to fit the needs of the people. .<br />Throughout history governing systems have changed from one thing to another, from monarchies to ____ to classical liberalism and dictatorships to modern liberalism. The idea of embracing these concepts would leave you to <br />-revolution nazi, lenin, dirty thirties<br />As such systems cannot be imposed, people need to make them themselves, if there is not enough want for something it will not be accepted/established<br />We dont embrace systems, we make them to suit our needs <br />Liberalism didnt exist, as populations grew and more people began to reject the system new ones were formed with ideas from various people.
