PERSONAL LIBERTY
SELF DESTINY
SELF DETERMINATION
FREEDOM TO REACH ONES GOAL

DO WE REALLY HAVE PERSONAL LIBERTY TO BECOME WHAT EVER WE WANT? IN

OUR FIRST POWER POINT WE LEARNED FROM DR. MCCOY THAT WE AS PEOPLE
HAVE FULL CONTROL OF OUR DESTINY WE ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE
OUR LIVES WITH NO RESTRICTIONS.

WE LEARNED THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE PUT IN A GOOD OR BAD SCHOOL IT IS UP TO

YOU IF YOU WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE NOBODY ELSE WE LIVE IN DEMOCRATIC
NATION WHERE IT STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIFE,
LAND , AND THE PURIST TO HAPPINESS. SO IF SOMEONE ASKS YOU IF YOU HAVE
PERSONAL LIBERTY THE ANSWER IS YES BECAUSE NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU
FROM REACHING YOUR GOALS OR FULL FILLING YOUR DESTINY.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
WE ALL HAVE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN LIFE NOBODY CONTROLS WHAT WE DO IN LIFE GOING TO A GOOD
OR BAD SCHOOL DOES NOT DETERMINE IF YOU GET IN TO A GOOD COLLEGE IT DOES NOT DETERMINE WHAT
JOB YOU GET IN THE FUTURE BUT IT DOES ALL DETERMINE HOW YOU PLAY THE HAND YOU ARE DELT MAN,
WOMEN, BOY, OR GIRL, BLACK, OR WHITE IT IS COMPLETELY UP TO YOU HOW YOU WANT TO BUILD YOU LIFE
THIS WAS TALKED ABOUT ON SLIDE 8 ON THE AMERICAS CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY WHERE IT ALSO
SAID AS A QUOTE THE ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUALLY THAT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE JUST AS MUCH
RIGHTS AS THE NEXT PERSON.

INDIVIDUALISM

INDIVIDUALISM- REPRESENTS THE COMMITMENT OF THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TO THE INDIVIDUAL.

SO IN A SHORTER SENSE POWER BELONGS TO THE INDIVIDUAL ALSO KNOWN AS THE PEOPLE

IN THE TEXT IT STATES ON PG. 5 THAT INDIVIDUALISM EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, WORTH, FREEDOM, AND WELL-BEING THIS MEAN THAT EVERY
PERSON IS ALLOWED ONE VOTE AT THE POLLS DURING ELECTION IT ALSO MEAN THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE ALLOWED TO OWN PROPERTY . THIS ALSO MEANS THAT IN THE UNITED
STATES EVERYONE'S ECONOMIC RIGHTS AND THEIR POLITICAL FREEDOMS ARE PROTECTED.

STATISM
STATISM SUPPORTS THE NOTION THAT THE

RIGHTS OF THE STATE ARE SUPREME OVER THE

RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

THIS IS QUOTED FROM THE LECTURE IT MEANS

THATS THE STATES RIGHTS ARE STRONGER THEN

THE PEOPLES RIGHTS

IN THE BOOK ON PG.27 IT SAYS THAT STATISM IS

A FORM OF GOVERNMENT BASED ON
CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY AND CONTROL,
ESPECIALLY OVER THE ECONOMY.

THIS MEAN THAT STATE BASICALLY HAS

CONTROL OVER THE ECONOMY.

IDEALISM

ON PG. 566 IT SAYS THAT IDEALISM IS A THEORY OF INTERNATIONAL RELATION

THAT FOCUSES ON THE HOPE THAT NATIONS WILL ACT TOGETHER TO SOLVE
INTERNATIONAL PROBLEMS

EXAMPLE

JOHN LOCKE BELIEVED IN LIFE LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT TO HAPPINESS

JOHN LOCKE ON THE LEFT

IMMANUEL KANT BELIEVED THAT PEACE IS NATURAL AND THAT EVERYONE CAN
ACHIEVE IT.

IMMANUEL KANT ON THE RIGHT

AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT

THEOCRACY
IN THE POWER POINT IT STATES.

BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION OF DIVINE

RIGHTS.
THEY ARE LEAD MAINLY BY RELIGIOUS
LEADERS.

EXAMPLE: THE POPE IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF

THEOCRACY BECAUSE HE IS THE HEAD OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH

COMMUNISM

FACISM

IN THE POWER POINT IT STATES.

IN THE POWER POINT IT STATES.

ECONOMY IS CONTROLLED BY THE ELITE

STRONG GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL

EXAMPLE: IN CHINA THE GOVERNMENT

CONTROLS HOW MANY CHILDREN YOU ARE
ALLOWED TO HAVE AND IF YOU HAVE MORE
CHILDREN THEN, THEY DO THIS TO CONTROL
THE POPULATION.

RULE BY EMOTIONS
REJECTION OF RATIONALITY

EXAMPLE: ADOLF HITLER ATTACKED THE JEWS

BECAUSE HE FELT THAT THEY SCUM AND THE
SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IN GERMANY AND IF
YOU WENT UP AGAINST HIM HE WOULD KILL
YOU TO.

AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT
MONARCHY

DIVINE RIGHTS OF KINGS AND QUEENS

INFERIORITY VS. SUPERIORITY
IN THE POWER POINT IT SHOWS AN IMAGE OF THE QUEEN REASON BEING BECAUSE MONARCHY MEANS TO BE BORN IN TO, THE QUEEN WAS BORN IN TO ROYALTY AND SHE NOW
HAS A TITLE THAT GOES WITH HER BIRTH, THERE ARE EVEN TRACES OF A MONARCHY IN AMERICA, PEOPLE WHO WERE BORN IN TO POWERFUL FAMILY ALREADY HAS A
STATEMENT MADE FOR THEIR SELF BECAUSE OF THE NAME THAT THEY HAVE.

POWER OF MASS MEDIA

IN THE LECTURE DR. MCCOY TELLS US THAT THE MASS MEDIA REFERS TO ANY METHOD OF COMMUNICATION DESIGNED TO REACH THE MASSES.
THAT MEANS THAT THE MEDIA IS EVERY WHERE YOU GO AND IT IS SHOWING 24/7 THEY CONTROL EVERYTHING THAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORLD AND WHAT'S GOING ON IN
IT.

DIFFERENT FORMS OF THE MASS MEDIA IS: TELEVISION, INTERNET, RADIO, AND NEWSPAPER, MAGAZINES, ISSUE ADS, BOOKS / JOURNAL BUT NOW OF DAYS IT IS MAINLY WE GET
MEDIA ELECTRONICALLY THERE IS ALWAYS A ADVERTISEMENT BEING SHOWN SOMEWHERE TELLING US WHAT'S COOL AND WHAT TO BUY.

THE MEDIA IS SO STRONG IT HAS CONTROL OF POLITICS THEY TELL US WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE AND WHO IS A BAD ONE THEY MAKE THE PRESIDENT LOOK LIKE A HERO OR
ON SOME DAY'S THE BAD GUY, THE MEDIA EVEN ON ELECTION NIGHTS TRIES TO DETERMINE WHO HAS ONE THE ELECTION BEFORE IT IS OVER.

POWER OF INTEREST GROUPS

A GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH A COMMON INTEREST

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF AN INTEREST GROUP IS TO IMPACT PUBLIC POLICY.
INTEREST GROUPS BASICALLY ARE JUST PEOPLE WHO GET TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT WAYS TO PUSH POLICY THAT THEY BELIEVE IN THE ARE HEAVENLY SEEN INVOLVED IN
POLITICS

EXAMPLE: REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS, AND THE T.E.A PARTY A DIFFERENT FORMS OF INTEREST GROUPS

INTEREST GROUPS ARE KNOW FOR THEIR SIZE AND THE RESOURCES THEY PROVIDE THEY ALSO ARE A GROUP THAT STICKS TOGETHER AND WORK WELL TO GATHER AND THE
HAVE A WAY OF PUSHING THEIR INFLUENCE TO THE PEOPLE. INTEREST GROUP PUSH OUT A LOT OF MONEY IN POLITICS TO INDORSE A CANDIDATE OR TO CONGRESS SO THEY
COULD VOTE IN THEIR FAVOR FOR A POLICY THEY WANT THIS IS CALLED LOBBYING.

IF YOU DIDNT KNOW BUT IN THE LECTURE WE ARE TOLD THAT LOBBYING IS ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO INFLUENCE MEMBERS OF GOVERNMENT

POWER OF CONGRESS

THE CONGRESS HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION IF THEY NEED TO ITS CALLED AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION, CONGRESS ALSO HAS THE POWER TO IMPEACH
THE PRESIDENT IF HE IS CONVICTED OF A CRIME .

CONGRESS HAS THE POWER TO CREATE TREATIES AND TO DECLARE WAR THIS IS KNOWN AS SHARED POWERS, CONGRESS CONFORMS TO 535 PEOPLE , 435 IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES AND 100 IN THE SENATE, MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE TERMS IN OFFICE LAST 2 YEARS WHILE THE SENATE S TERMS LASTS 6 YEARS

IN THE LECTURE DR. MCCOY TELLS US THAT CONGRESS HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE SIZE NOR THE DIVERSITY OF CONGRESS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS QUITE OR GETTING
ELECTED IN TO OFFICE ALSO IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR IF THE ONLY PEOPLE IN CONGRESS WAS ONLY ONE RACE. NO MATTER HOW HARD CONGRESS WANT IT TO ONLY BE JUST ONE
RACE RUNNING IT .

POWER OF THE PRESIDENT

THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT IS A GREAT BUT VERY STRESS FULL JOB THE PRESIDENT HAS TO, BE PARTY LEADER, PROSPERITY MANAGER, MORALE LEADER,
JUGGLER OF ROLES DOING ALL OF THIS PLUS BATTLE WITH CONGRESS ON WHAT BILLS SHOULD AND SHOULD NOT BE PASSED CAN AGE YOU RAPIDLY DO TO STRESS

THE PRESIDENT CAN ALSO PARDON YOU FROM A CRIME AND ALSO VETO AND BILL THAT HE FEELS CARRY'S NOT IMPORT ANTS THE PRESIDENT IS KNOWN AS THE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, COMMANDER IN CHIEF, CHIEF DIPLOMAT, CHIEF LEGISLATOR THE PRESIDENT CAN LEAD US IN TO WAR , HE CAN WRITE LAWS, THE
PRESIDENT CAN PROMOTE PEACE AND HE IS IN CONTROL OF THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE.

THE PRESIDENT CAN DECLARE WAR BUT HE HAS TO GET PERMISSION FROM CONGRESS TO DO SO THE REASON IS BECAUSE IN THE BOOK IT STATES THAT IN 1973
PRESIDENT NIXON AUTHORIZED BOMBING WITHOUT LETTING CONGRESS KNOW AND FOR THAT THEY CREATED THE WAR POWERS ACT IT GIVES THE PRESIDENT
POWER OVER THE MILITARY BUT NOT TO MUCH TO THE POINT HE CAN JUST BOMB PLACES WHEN EVER HE FEELS LIKE IT.
