Patricia Wallace Ingraham's "The Foundation Of Merit: Public Service In American Democracy
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Patricia Wallace Ingraham recognizes the incongruities inherent to public service amidst the United States political system. In her book entitled "The Foundation of Merit: Public Service in American Democracy," the author delves into such issues as civil service being in direct contrast to the overwhelming presence of bureaucracy; power and politics – the not-so-strangest of bedfellows; and the constant struggle to attain an equitable balance. The evolutionary path of political organizations can be traced back to the very first time man realized that he could exercise power over another individual. From that point of enlightenment, political organizations have sought to control virtually every element of human existence, an objective Ingraham claims often resides at the crux of political disheartenment.

Peter Schrag/Paradise Lost, Decline in CA
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page book review that focuses on Schrag's principal thesis in his text, Paradise Lost, California's Experience, America's Future (1999). According to Schrag, at one time, California was very close to being perfect. It had good schools, good roads, a welcoming atmosphere and believed in a progressive future. However, that was roughly thirty to forty years ago, and today everything has changed. Schrag's basic thesis is that the quality of life in California has been steadily declining over the last several decades and that the culprit for this degeneration is the "orgy" of "voter initiatives" that have caused the consistent erosion of public services (Schrag 9).
