Unit 8.1 DB: Today’s Presidents
Every 4 years, we come together as a nation to vote on who will represent us as a nation, who will lead the country in domestic and foreign affairs, who will hold the title of President of the United States of America.
Research and read/view the election platform statements, winning nomination speech, and inaugural address of the current President of the United States. In this discussion board, compare these primary sources to the current domestic and foreign policy planning and decisions of the President. Are their correlations between plan and action to stated goals and promises? What challenges will the President face in accomplishing these goals and promises? What other situations arose throughout the election and beginning his term in office that led to possible changes to the original goals and promises.
Make sure to support all of your opinions with facts and cite all of your sources, including the primary sources.

Good Evening Professor and Class,
So the current President said, “his top priorities were fighting the corona-virus, improving the economy, responding to calls for racial justice and combating climate change.” (Poly Inst, 2023) Biden’s winning speech was held on November 3rd, 2020, see attached youtube video (1AfNYztas2c). In his address to the nation he said that he plans to work along side the tough and proud Russian President (White House speeches). He also specified the need and desire to rejoin the Paris accords. With his attention towards fighting COVID-19 he may have lost his attention on his international stance. He did get back into the Paris Accords, but this is could be a promise he is not going to be able to continue to keep if America going the direction it is. America seems to take on a majority of financial burden. Other then what the country has done to sanction Russia and other countries supporting the war in Ukraine, there is only one other option if the sanctions do not work. America is a country of fighters and if we need to pick this fight to support our Allies and get the bully off other backs that may be the only option left at this point. He cancelled a pipe line that lost 16,000 to 59,000. (Anthony, 2023) As you can tell I am not a fan of this current administration. He is by far the worst President in the history of the United States. I could pull 100 things this man has not accomplished in his nearly 50 years of civil service. not to mention his mental decline that is noticeable in numerous speeches. We are at a point when they need to intact the 25th Amendment, I know this is a contested subject. Again, my opinion, but I could find a number instance to that a new president period.
Respectfully Submitted,
David M. Miller

Participating in the democratic ritual of selecting the leader of our nation every quadrennial period is an embodiment of the core values upon which the United States was founded. The election serves as the crucible through which the nation’s aspirations, both domestic and foreign, are distilled into a singular choice: the President of the United States. Yet, as the rhetoric of campaign platforms, nomination speeches, and inaugural addresses converges with the complexities of governance, the interplay between promises and actions unveils a nuanced landscape. In examining the presidency of Joe Biden, a critical appraisal of the primary sources—namely, the election platform statements, winning nomination speech, and inaugural address—bespeaks volumes about the nexus between articulated intentions and realized actions.
In Joe Biden’s election platform, the bedrock of domestic and foreign policy stances are boldly etched. The promises of bolstering healthcare access, addressing climate change, fostering economic growth, and revitalizing global alliances resonate as echoes of shared aspirations. The winning nomination speech, delivered amidst fervent cheers and collective optimism, outlined a roadmap where unity, equity, and diplomacy were paramount. Biden’s inaugural address cemented these pledges, heralding an era of transformation and unity. Vowing to navigate the ship of state through stormy waters, the President pledged to enact measures that reflected the desires and needs of the American populace. However, as the intricate dance between plans and actions unfolds, the landscape becomes nuanced. The correlation between promises and achievements is multifaceted. While significant strides have been made in some areas, challenges abound, underscoring the complexity of governance. The ambitious goal of healthcare reform, for instance, has encountered roadblocks due to a divided Congress and intricate legislative processes. Environmental initiatives, though commenced with ardor, navigate the labyrinthine confluence of economic interests, regulatory frameworks, and global cooperation.
The realm of foreign policy, too, is illustrative of the intricate tapestry woven by rhetoric and pragmatism. The intention to rekindle alliances has borne fruit in renewed dialogues, but navigating the intricate web of international dynamics requires finesse and persistence. Trade negotiations, national security imperatives, and diplomatic intricacies render foreign policy an arena of calculated balancing acts. Unforeseen challenges have also emerged, altering the trajectory of intentions. The eruption of global crises, such as unanticipated natural disasters or geopolitical upheavals, requires adaptive measures that may deviate from original goals. Furthermore, the President’s interactions with a dynamic Congress and the intricate interplay of partisan politics can necessitate recalibrations in policy priorities.
In conclusion, the junction of promises, plans, and actions constitutes a terrain that is rarely linear. The Biden’s journey from campaign rhetoric to executive action reflects the intricate interplay of ideals, pragmatism, and adaptability. The challenge lies in maintaining the fidelity to the North Star of collective aspirations while navigating the convoluted maze of governance. As history attests, the presidency is a maelstrom where intentionality contends with reality, and the measure of leadership lies in the ability to steer the ship towards a more perfect union amidst the ebbs and flows of change.

Hello All,
I am amazed with all of the different organizations for early childhood education and their support for not only the children, but the educators, and families. Educators are able to stay up to date on children’s development, latest research studies, and what parents can do both at home and in school to support their children. I think all of the organizations are resourceful and positively supportive for the betterment of every child whether atypical or typical. Class: Do you think you would join an organization? If so, which one and why?

RE: Unit 8 Exploration Forum – Closes on Friday!
Professor and Classmates,
With all the good resources, websites, reading material, and videos. I really liked the videos because I could see other teachers interacting with the children. With different methods that I can take to my classroom this September. I love learning new things and taking them back into my classroom. I really enjoyed these two classes.

Hello Prof. Silver and classmates,
I have been in the education field for more than ten years. I was a sub with only a high school diploma when I started this field. As time passed, I knew I wanted to work in this field. I tried to get more experience and knowledge about early childhood development. When I decided to return to school, I learned about theories and strategies I could implement in my classroom to enhance my students’ learning and development. I appreciate that my job is constantly asking us to attend training programs. Whenever I listen to these pieces of training, I feel upskilled and learn new techniques to become a better teacher by implementing new ways to achieve goals with my students. There are many professional organizations for teachers to participate in and advance in their profession. I want to join the National Association Organization because it is the largest labor union in the United States. I want to expand my teaching knowledge, and it represents public school teachers. Also, learn about what resources are available for teachers, parents, and students to support the student’s success.
