What is Obama?

Barack Obama's presidency is a major subject of study in political science, public policy, American history, and government courses. His two terms in office generated significant academic interest across multiple disciplines because they intersected with pressing national questions about race, economic recovery, healthcare reform, energy policy, and civil rights. The 2008 and 2012 presidential elections are treated as landmark events in American political history, making Obama a frequent subject for essays examining electoral dynamics, democratic participation, and the evolving priorities of the American public.

Student papers on this topic approach it from several distinct angles. Analytical essays examine the role race played in Obama's electoral victories, particularly in 2012, while others apply frameworks like rational choice theory to specific policy decisions such as the approval of international sanctions. Comparative policy analysis appears frequently, with papers weighing Obama's healthcare approach against President Clinton's proposals. Other essays focus on rhetorical analysis, treating speeches such as Obama's address to students as artifacts through which to study presidential communication. Additional papers assess specific policy areas including energy, housing, and gay rights.

A strong essay on Obama should establish a focused, arguable thesis rather than offering a broad biographical overview. Evidence drawn from policy outcomes, electoral data, or close reading of primary sources such as speeches tends to carry the most weight in academic writing. The most effective papers connect Obama's decisions to larger theoretical or historical frameworks rather than relying on general impressions. A common pitfall is conflating personal approval or disapproval of his presidency with substantive analysis — strong essays maintain an evidence-based, analytical stance throughout.

Community Health Oklahoma Modern Healthcare

Health wise, Oklahoma is a conundrum. It was the 21st largest recipient of medical funding from the federal government in 2005; almost $76 million in immunizations, bioterrorism preparedness and health education being the top areas of focus. However, the rest of the state ranks above the US in the percentage of people with asthma, diabetes, cancer, and hypertension. Even Oklahoma's own Health Department acknowledges that strokes, heart disease, diabetes and chronic lower respiratory diseases are more prevalent in Oklahoma at higher than national average rates – primarily because of the dual issues of obesity and tobacco use. These statistics, in fact, result in a much higher total mortality rate than for the rest of the nation.

Media analysis of a current political issue relating to immigration

Immigration is a fundamental element of American history. Centuries ago, immigration was not the issue that it is in the 21st century. There is a very small percentage of Americans that can trace their heritage back to the beginning of the country without at least one family member or even generation of family that are not immigrants. Around the turn of the 20th century, with the advent of industrialization and the mass exodus from numerous countries into the United States, immigration has been a white, hot point of contention in American culture and American media. The focus of this paper is a very recent article in The New York Times about President Obama's decision to allow a specific demographic of illegal immigrants to remain the country legally providing them opportunities to obtain legal documentation, attend institutions of higher education, and work without fear of sudden deportation.
