Assignment - 1 -Research Topics with Explanation

The topic on tax alteration for people earning over $250000 annually was selected because it was an important factor to consider in the presidential campaign of 2012. Many governments have high regard for tax cuts since it stimulates economic growth (Merino, 2011). Various government officials and the Congress form the target audience since they perform the functions of legislation and law amendments in the United States. Various economic experts and the Congress should therefore, advice on the effects and most appropriate changes on price cuts (Boorts & Linder, 2005). There should be tax cuts on incomes above $250000 as they stimulate a country’s economic growth and reduces the taxpayers’ burden.

1. The topic on tax alteration for people earning over $250000 annually was selected because it was an important factor to consider in the presidential campaign of 2012. Many governments have high regard for tax cuts since it stimulates economic growth (Merino, 2011).

            2. The topic on Transport Security regulations was picked in order to bring to light the changes that need to be made in its policy frameworks. The target audience in this case includes lawmakers and the Transport Security Administration (TSA). Various issues need to be addressed in the transport sector such as what can and cannot be brought aboard an airplane (“Transport Security Administration,” 2004; “Department of Homeland Security,” 2004). The government and all concerned authorities should make amends to the current Transport Security Administration regulations in order to address all the security concerns in the transport industry.More on This Topic......

            3. Home schooling has been a controversial issue in the United States for many years (Immell, 2009). Many people question whether the responsibility of formal learning should be left to parents (Rivero, 2008). The target audience in this situation includes policy makers and parents who wish to venture in home schooling. Children who have been home schooled are prone to many social dangers as they lack certain skills that are acquired through a school orientation system. Home schooling should be discouraged since it is ineffective and results in poorly tutored students.More on This Topic......
