Ducey's Focus Entry#5

Introducing a correspondence, boldly note that I was unable to finish analyzing the third page of Governor Doug Ducey Next Step instead my two sense rudely interrupted, ha-ha culture value education as a choice and nomination of Parental Duty. It is important to interrupt and look at each separately before considering an opinion. First off, Under the Sea raising the bar section, he regretfully points out that on 42% of Arizona in adults have a college degree. My thought is that why is that unacceptable?

 After all, education is a choice that is supported by Ducey. Not to mention, how is it logical to put standards upon an issue that varies person to person, and their needs versus wants with keeping an open mind to the fact that it’s a choice not a requirement. Then I wonder how does he plans on actually raising this percent to 60 one? Maybe also described as changing 18% of people’s decisions, at what cost though?

Next, is the false pretense that parent empowerment is valued in the community. Although it is surely realistic it does not describe the current parental standards at all. The phrase parent empowerment is a concept that describes parents as the primary teachers to their own children, according to the online source, Families and Schools Together. On the contrary, it has seemed that statistics regarding parents are rising in child abuse due to the increase in single-parent homes partnering with a survival requirement of two- income producing parents, as explained on the Health Profits website. If that’s the case, it should be questioned, if child abuse is all time high 48.8% and is due to lack of Parental availability, then when does the parent have time to take on a study session with their kids?

 Actually, it sounds like Ducey is prioritizing the wrong kind of issues, in my opinion. Ultimately, by bringing up these two points together it is obvious that somewhere someone would like to mislead the public into thinking ideally about having a choice, but he fails to inform the plan of enforcing new policies and manipulating basic standards so that it will force the public in only one direction. Of course, that direction will give officials more power, less free choice to the public, and will end up hindering society’s overall ability to pursue happier living circumstances.

Despite obvious speculations, Ducey’s plan to support Proposition 123 in the community has already approved 142 million dollars to K through 12 education and another 38 million to universities. Hopefully, this additional money may be used for not only in new ways of teaching parents to role model for their kids, but even more significant underlying issues, like teacher’s pay currently being under reasonable standards. In turn, that should help aid the concern of poor teaching methods.

Capitalism: A Love Story Entry#Extra

The year in the year 1789 was the separation of the United States from Great Britain. The National Archives of Founding Documents proves that the Constitution was formed to shape the federal government. highlighting in order to form a more perfect union. US Constitution, one contrary to a more perfect union, is Michael Moore’s movie capitalism. It is a true reality that will slap even the most ignorant communities in the face. In order to provide an understanding first, compare the term capitalism to the intentions of the constitution. In the movie, more walks his viewers through our country’s Miss guidance into a nation that is run by corporate offices and money. This means that the corporate world is free enterprise to profit off their consumers in any way desired. Therefore, quality, the equality that is seen within a union is challenged by the concept of capital business.

 At first, capitalism is marketed as “free enterprise” with advertisement promising Americans the choice of where they want to work. Of course, Moore’s point of view exploits the marketers’ deception through contrasting what the policy says verses what it actually ends up doing. It’s undoubtable that capitalistic actions have been completely opposite to what was originally promise. As previously mentioned the industry was disguised as offering diverse options of employment to the city; However, the film describes otherwise while describing Ms. Andrew’s desperate job hunt every morning since being laid off (28:27). Therefore, the profiting industries heighten the cost of items, lower the material’s quality, terminated more than half of the available jobs, and overall bringing the economy into an unemployment crisis. Meanwhile, the wealthy class were provided tax cuts.

 Even worse, this sort of enterprise endangered work unions which results in no job security for Americans. The nation’s middle class slowly is began deteriorating as well. With that in mind, the outcome looks like the poor stay poor or lose what’s left while the rich stay rich or just get richer; Basically, most people will not have an opportunity to grow beyond being poor.

 Referring back to the simple online definition of capitalism, Miriam - Webster’s Learner’s Dictionary defines the practice as a way of organizing an economy so that things that are used to make and transport products (such as land, oil, factories, ships etc.) are owned by individual people and companies rather than by government ¹. An illustration of this can be seen in the mid beginning of Morris film as he observes President Ronald Reagan giving a public speech. During this Don Regan, corporate owner of Myrle Lynch and State Treasurer Chief Secretary of the State (Ronald Reagan’s presidency) informed the president of the United States that he needed to “speed it up” (19:02). As pointed out, since Don was richest man, his word was more powerful than the government and camouflaged itself by hiding control over government officials, like the president.
