The governor of Georgia, currently Nathan Deal, is the chief executive officer of a vast modern enterprise. The need for specialized expertise in governing and coordinating society means that Georgia's governor must work with a variety of other elected officials and appointed administrators. Article 5 of the Georgia Constitution, adopted in 1983, establishes an executive branch of government directed by a governor who serves a four-year term of office. The executive branch consists of more than 100,000 employees. There are seven other popularly elected constitutional executive officers: the lieutenant governor, currently Casey Cagle, who presides over the senate; the secretary of state, currently Brian Kemp; the attorney general, currently Chris Carr; the state school superintendent, currently Richard Woods; and the commissioners of agriculture, insurance, and labor, each presiding over his or her own executive department. The current commissioners are Gary Black (agriculture), Ralph T. Hudgens (insurance), and Mark Butler (labor). In addition, the five-member elected Georgia Public Service Commission reports to the governor, and Article 4 of the constitution creates a variety of agencies, boards, and commissions, each with its own chairperson, some of whom are appointed. The employees and elected officers of the executive branch provide many of the social services associated with the modern state. Three services dominate the executive branch's budget: education, public health programs, and transportation. The state school superintendent, for example, is responsible for distributing funds, more than $9.7 billion in 2014, to K-12 schools, pre-kindergarten programs, and the HOPE Scholarship. The Department of Community Health, Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, and the Department of Public Health, all members of the executive branch, promote health programs around the state, take precautions against infectious disease, and provide maternal and child health care. The Department of Transportation constructs and maintains the state's 117,238 miles of public roads and bridges. Finally, the Department of Natural Resources and the Georgia Department of Economic Development respectively seek to preserve Georgia's natural resources for recreational and economic use and to promote Georgia as a tourist attraction and investment opportunit
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Indeed, young people have historically failed to participate in the election process - fewer young people vote than those of other age groups.
I think this occurs because young people feel there is a lot of corruption and lies in the political system, and that politicians do not act with integrity.
Many youngsters notice how legislators endlessly argue with each other in the House of Representatives and the Senate, or how is the relationship between the executive branch and the legislative branch. And they don't like what they see. They turn to the other side
How does this negatively impact democracy in the US?
Of course, that behavior is not good because youngsters are the next generation that is going to run the United States.
They have to be prepared, informed, ready to fill the highest political spots and corporative spots to take the US into the next decade. And if they are not informed and actively participate in politics, it is going to be difficult for them to understand what the country needs to move forward.
As the Soviet Union dissolved and the cold war ended the balance of power in Europe and especially Eastern European changed forever.
While earlier, the Soviet Union held sway over much of Eastern Europe, that completely disintegrated overnight. The Soviet influence in the region was shattered.
On the edges of Eastern Europe were the NATO countries, who quickly became the dominant political and military force in the region without any rival.
Communism and socialist policies also ended as newly freed countries started to transition to market-based economy.
