Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: USA, grade: 1,3 (A-), Dresden Technical University, language: English, comment: Argumentative Essay , abstract: In this paper I argue that the anti social liberalism critique of the 1980s did not live up to its strong rhetoric. This is due to a number of reasons. First and foremost, during Reagan's presidency the Democratic majority in Congress had the power to block any means going beyond their accepted limits. Second, Reagan and his fellow Republicans knew very well that Americans had become very attached to certain aspects of the post-New Deal welfare state, especially health care and unemployment benefits. Other aspects, such as the support of labor unions, had a weaker standing in the general population and thus were more open for debate. Reagan pushed for deregulation to solve a situation that was in some aspects similar to that of the 1930s - the economy was stagnating, unemployment rose, inflation was threateningly high. Yet, in other ways the 1980s were, of course, completely different. The middle class had gotten used to an ever increasing living standard in the previous four decades. New technologies had become widely available, economic ills had been almost absent for a vast number of white working and middle class people for the longest period ever in the history of the United States. The fear of economic deprivation was rooted deeply in the American people, yet America was far from the desparation of the Great Depression. When Reagan promised a 'morning in America' many voters gladly turned to this cheerful, persuasive former Hollywood actor. It also helped that Reagan predecessor Carter did not seem to have any means to stop the recession and that independent candidate John Anderson split the vote in the 1980 election.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0 (A), Dresden Technical University (American Studies), language: English, abstract: This paper aims to collect opinions on the development of the stock markets since the 1990s. People from varying fields and backgrounds have written about the recent situation of the economy. First, there are economists like Yale professor Robert J. Shiller, whose book Irrational Exuberance coincided with the bursting of the bubble in 2000. Then there is political analyst Kevin Phillips who reconstructs and discusses the boom and decline of the markets in a political and historical context in Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich, or radical journalist Alexander Cockburn whose articles for publications like The New York Press and The Nation focus on the aspects of corporate fraud and the politics behind the market dilemma. Others, like financial economists Robert E. Hall and Alan Reynolds reject the idea of bubbles and argue that the recent decline of the stock markets is merely part of a normal economy cycle that may be derived from historical context as well as from mathematical equation.

Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, Dresden Technical University, course: The Reagan 80s and the Clinton 90s, language: English, abstract: This paper works with the underlying assumptions of Dick Hebdige¿s study of subculteres. Here, the word subculture is used synonymously to youth culture, which is a contrast to Stefanie Grimm¿s Die Repräsentation von Männlichkeit im Punk und Rap, where she defines subculture as a necessary step for groups that are rejected by the mainstream and thus have to find their semi-invisible niche. She specifically names the gay culture. Youth cultures, Grimm writes, are at the border of subcultures and popular culture.1 But since youth cultures are as much a mystery to mainstream society as for example the gay culture, I choose not to make a difference between the words.After a short introduction to the theory of subcultures and especially theory in punk and hardcore, this paper aims to discuss the youth cultures¿ similarities and differences, the reasons for changes and continuity in the scene, and the relation to politics. Sources cited will include academic texts, popular texts like Andy Greenwald¿s book Nothing Feels Good. Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo, as well as original voices from the scene, for example collected in interviews by Beth Lahicky for her book All Ages. Reflections on Straight Edge. As music is the starting point of all discussed youth cultures, there will also be comment on exemplary lyrics.Most of the last chapter on the latest form of punk rock, emo, will be in interview style. To date there is one book written on emo. The author Andy Greenwald offers his readers an online messageboard to discuss his work, emo and everything related to it. He actively participates in the discussion and was so kind to answer my questions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.
