President Obama pushed to continue the tax cuts for all but the wealthiest citizens. Congressional Republicans objected to any i

ncrease in taxes and called for deeper cuts in government spending. President Obama and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, were unable to reach an agreement that would satisfy conservative House Republicans. When these negotiations failed, the Senate Republican leader met with the vice president and crafted a compromise: Only Americans with incomes over $400,000 would face an increase in income taxes. A payroll tax cut for taxes that fund Social Security would be allowed to expire; federal unemployment benefits would be extended; and massive spending cuts would be delayed. This compromise passed both the House and Senate, though most House Republicans refused to support it. On January 2, 2013, President Obama signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act into law. What was the conflict between the president and Congress? Do you think the underlying cause of the conflict was more philosophical or political? In your opinion, which type of conflict would be harder to resolve? What steps were taken to resolve the conflict? Why do you think negotiations between the Senate Republican leader and the vice president were more successful than talks between the president and the Speaker? How might this case study help you understand other presidential-congressional conflicts?

Answer:

To be honest, I think it more political. See, conservatives fought for slavery and lost. (hooray!) Due to this, most conservatives decline the offer because Obama, obviously is a person of color. When to resolve the conflict, it took a large amount of time and effort to convince Republicans and conservatives because well, the president is a democratic person of color, so of course they declined. The senate republican leader and the vice president could sort things out more, due to them kinda being at the same rank. This case can help to understand the discrimination, settlement, agreement, etc.

Roman55 [17]

The media's emphasis on the slowly improving American economic situation in 2012, rather than the record number of long-term unemployed Americans is an example of agenda setting.

Agenda setting is described as the "ability to influence" the importance of topics on the public agenda. Since the media focused more on the improving economic situation, the general public was less concerned about the high unemployment rates. Many people likely didn't realize this was the case if they only received their information from the media.

Three strategies parents can used to communicate with their children
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Hello there!

#1 Strategy 

They could constantly ask them, their day, how they've been doing. And the thing's that they have been going through, either at school or other informal locations.

#2 Strategy

Another thing that can be used, you could perhaps give them a cell phone, to always be in touch with him/her and always be communicated.

#3 Strategy

Make sure that you are talking to them at a correct time. Don't give them a hard time as they are not feeling in a mood that is not pleasing. By you doing this, your communication would improve with your children.

I hope this helps you greatly!

Closure of an area to stop people or goods from entering or leaving a place.
lesantik [10]
When one closes off an area to stop people or goods from entering or leaving a place this means that an embargo on goods is present. This is usually done when one doesn't want a nation to continue its economic relationship with other nations. When people are stopped from entering or leaving a place, this would mean that they are put under quarantine.
