Read this linked article on Barack Obama and make some comments on whether you think his ideology and policies are more reflective of Roosevelt's New Nationalism or Woodrow Wilson's New Freedom
I think Obama's idealogy and policies are more reflective of Roosevelt's New Nationalism because he's calling for more government regulation of businesses and more social welfare programs. He has tried to boost the democracy by enforcing better welfare programs for the poor in paying for college and health insurances for everyone. Too much freedom will get out of control, so the market needs to be watched by the government and Obama is against monopolies. Against having a low income tax would also be new nationalism.
I agree with Catherine that Obama's policies reflect Roosevelt's New Nationalism. The government plays a more involving roles in businesses. More government regulation is evident in welfare programs, and as well as the recently pass health care bill. The bill hurts big businesses.
I also think that Obama's polocies are new nationalism because it is once again getting the gov't involved and watching what the big buisinesses do. Which i think is helpful to the workers because it gives the more rights and more help with things like welfare and health care as derek said.
I agree with the comments above that Obama's policies are similar to Roosevelt's New Nationalism. Obama's policies are toward helping the smaller businesses. The reflection of New Nationalism is also shown in the welfare programs of Obama. -Sagar Patel
I agree with everybody in which that Obama's policies can be seen as Roosevelt's New Nationalism. The new policies are intended to help businesses prosper and thus helping out the economy through jobs and such. All this is caused by the government starting to get more and more involved. -Eddie Roman
Discussion Blog: I've created this blog to supplement class discussion. Questions will be posted at random and often coinciding with discussion questions from class.
Points: Each time you make a comment to any question on this blog you will get 1 speaking point added to your discussion grade (for all you modest mice).
Comments: Should be at least 6 lines in length, thoughtful, relevant, polite, politically correct, clean, and feature analysis and evidence. They should also address at least one other person's comment on the question (unless of course you are the first to comment!)
