Application of Critical Perspective in Topic Examination The question of how the author uses crucial aspects in the article is depicted evidently in the report. For instance, the author takes the example of advertisements which describe the most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb of his/her mother. He states that during the pregnancy period, the unborn child faces the danger of being killed through abortion. The bitter disparity is that the supporters of the billboards pertaining to abortion claim that the messages on the ads are true. For example, the ads during the 2011 protest claimed that for every 21 seconds, an abortion is performed, thus claiming the life of the next possible leader. The author says that disparities about health exist all over all races, gender, and class. However, he states that the difference varies most when it pertains to women from the minority group. In the advertisements, the type of messages being displayed by black women also differs from the messages posted about white women. For instance, the words with black women show diseases…

The voting turn out The voting turn out has declined tremendously over recent years, although we call ourselves democratic. Although there is an increase in access points where the citizens can still influence the political outcome, the trend is disturbing. According to Russel J Dalton, there is a legislative gap in all the political actions. The social status of a person and the level of education people have are the strong predictors of participation in the voting process. The low turn in voting is there, but the states and neighborhoods where people are in the lower social status the turnout are the smallest (Dalton). While the better-off citizens continue to vote like before, this widening participation gap implies unequal representation; therefore, in such a government, democracy is questioning. In his presidential address, Arend Lijphart stated that Unequal participation signifies unequal influence, which a significant dilemma for representative democracy. A democratic country dictates that society benefits from the ultimate involvement of the citizens. The government would understand its complications if the citizens participated in various ways. Approximately 6 out of 10 people…

Please share your opinion of what makes an effective organizational leader? In my opinion, an effective leader is one who is good at planning organizing, directing and controlling activities within his or her jurisdiction. I want to emphasize that an effective leader must portray good communication skill because leadership planning organizing, directing and controlling requires excellent communication. Explain your leadership style, do you have a dynamic personality with charisma that people naturally follow your direction or do you lead quietly and let your skills and knowledge persuade others to follow you? I would say, I have a dynamic personality with charisma and my colleague workers follow my direction although I don’t dictate what they should do.
