Industrial Revolution
What Was Changed
How it Changed the Economy
Examples (one from 1900, one from Today)
The main thing that changed was the United States shifted from an agrarian society to one that was industrial and manufacturing in nature
The main thing it changed is that it shifted families from being self-contained units to having people (including some women) leave their homes daily and go to work
An example from 1900 would be the mass assembly of things like farm implements and tools. An example from today would be any automobile assembly line

Research and record three definitions of revolution and terrorism, and then develop your own definition of each. Describe what each means to you, and provide examples.
Merriam-Webster offers three definitions of revolution:
The usually violent attempt by many people to end the rule of one government and start a new one (Merriam-Webster, 2015).
A sudden, extreme or complete change in the way people live, work, etc.
(Merriam-Webster, 2015).
3) The action of moving around something in a path that is similar to a circle (Merriam-Webster, 2015).
My personal definition of a revolution is closest to the second one. It would be when there is a major change in...
The author of this report would consider American post-9/11 a revolution because it completely changed things…at least for a time.
Terrorism only has two definitions on the Merriam-Webster website. They are as follows:
1) The use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal (Merriam-Webster, 2015).
2) The systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion (Merriam-Webster, 2015).
3) The FBI website defines terrorism using two lenses, those being domestic and international. Domestic is terrorism that meets the following criteria:
a. "Involves acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law (FBI, 2015).
b. "Appear intended 1) To intimidate or coerce a civilian population 2) To influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion or 3) TO affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping" (FBI, 2015).
c. "Occurs primarily (if not entirely) within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S." (FBI, 2015).
The author of this report would define terrorism as any activity meant to instill fear as a means to force people to do (or not do) something. A person calling in a bomb threat is a terrorist and so is any member of ISIS.…

Government Mandated Gun-Free Zones THERE SHOULD BE NO GOVERNMENT MANDATED GUN-FREE ZONES IN PUBLIC SPACE. Banning guns for masses and establishing gun-free zones are one of the most controversial topics in American politics. There are clearly two schools of thoughts on this subject. The right to keep a gun and displaying it publically is directly related to individual's rights under the second amendment of the prevailing constitution. However, despite the recognition of
Republicans construed Obama as suggesting government bailouts for new industries, or at the slightest a more lively federal government function in generating or supporting jobs -- concepts abominations to a lot of conservatives. The Obama campaign countered the idea as political spin that does not replicate the president's feeling or meaning, pointing to full circumstances of the quotation as confirmation (Koch, 2011).

System of Checks and Balances Power The concept of Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances is more or less the same thing. Both of these ideas were introduced into the government to ensure that one branch of the government does not have all the power. Another reason it was introduced was so that the responsibilities and duties are distributed among different areas to ensure that the government is doing its job
A micro considers the interests and rights of the individual company as the primary concern. Both of these views are valid depending on the lens that one wishes to use. The problem arises when the government is forced to develop policies regarding procurement in this volatile debate. The government must decide whether to take a micro view, favoring the rights of companies, or a macro view that places the

Government Spending In the last ten years, the increasing levels of the national debt have become a major area of concern. This is because there has been an increase in this amount of over 200% from 2000 to 2010. As, this number went from: $5.67 trillion in 2000 to $13.56 trillion in 2010. This is troubling, because if these kinds of increases continue in the future there will more than likely
