query: Modern liberalism in the United States strongly endorses spending on health care.

pos: Modern liberalism in the United States Modern American liberalism is the dominant version of liberalism in the United States . It is characterized by social liberalism , and combines ideas of civil liberty and equality with support for social justice and a mixed economy . The term `` modern liberalism '' in this article refers only to the United States . In a global context , this philosophy is usually referred to as social liberalism .   The American modern liberal philosophy strongly endorses public spending on programs such as education , health care , and welfare . Important social issues today include addressing inequality , voting rights for minorities , affirmative action , reproductive and other women 's rights , support for LGBT rights , and immigration reform .   Modern liberalism took shape during the twentieth century , with roots in Theodore Roosevelt 's New Nationalism , Woodrow Wilson 's New Freedom , Franklin D. Roosevelt 's New Deal , Harry S. Truman 's Fair Deal , John F. Kennedy 's New Frontier , and Lyndon B. Johnson 's Great Society . American liberals oppose conservatives on most issues , but not all . Modern liberalism is historically related to social liberalism and progressivism , though the current relationship between liberal and progressive viewpoints is debated .   John F. Kennedy defined a liberal as follows :   Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941 defined a liberal party as one ,   Keynesian economic theory has played an important role in the economic philosophy of modern American liberals . Modern American liberals generally believe that national prosperity requires government management of the macroeconomy , in order to keep unemployment low , inflation in check , and growth high . They also value institutions that defend against economic inequality . In The Conscience of a Liberal Paul Krugman writes : `` I believe in a relatively equal society , supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty . I believe in democracy , civil liberties , and the rule of law . That makes me a liberal , and I 'm proud of it . '' Liberals often point to the widespread prosperity enjoyed under a mixed economy in the years since World War II . They believe liberty exists when access to necessities like health care and economic opportunity are available to all , and they champion the protection of the environment .   Modern American liberalism is typically associated with the Democratic Party , as modern American conservatism is typically associated with the Republican Party .

neg: Aggregate Spend Aggregate Spend is the process used in the USA to aggregate and monitor the total amount spent by healthcare manufacturers on individual healthcare professionals and organizations ( HCP/O ) through payments , gifts , honoraria , travel and other means . Also often referred to as the Physician Payments Sunshine Act , this initiative is a growing body of federal and state legislations intended to collectively address all or some of the following goals :  ( a ) Provide transparency with regard to who , in the life sciences industry , is contributing what benefits to which physician ;  ( b ) Mandate statutory reports at least once a year ; and ,  ( c ) Limit spend per physician .   Organizations monitored include pharmaceutical , biotechnology and , in some states , medical device organizations .

neg: Social conservatism in the United States Social conservatism in the United States is a political ideology focused on the preservation of traditional values and beliefs , hearkening back to values believed to be present at the American founding . It focuses on a concern with moral and social values which proponents of the ideology see as degraded in modern society by social democracy and liberalism . Social conservatism , while defined differently by many scholars , is often conflated with religious conservatism . Religious conservatives push for a focus on Judeo-Christian traditions as a guiding force for the country on social issues , leading them to be considered social conservatives . Social conservatives are concerned with many social issues such as abortion , sex education , gun control , the equal rights amendment , school prayer , same-sex marriage , and many others . They oppose many of the cultural changes brought on by the culture wars and the sexual revolution . Summarily , this branch of conservatism is concerned with moral and social issues within the United States and uses tradition , strict morals , and religion as solutions for these problems .

neg: Maternalist reform Maternalist Reforms in the United States were experiments in public policy beginning late 19th and early 20th century that took the form of laws providing for state assistance for mothers with young children that did not have the financial support of a male member of the household . This assistance took the form of financial reimbursements , as well as limits on the maximum working hours for women . These reforms arose from the belief that government has an obligation and interest in protecting and improving the living standards of women and children .   Maternalism is defined by Koven and Michel as a variety of ideologies that `` exalted women 's capacities to mother and extended to society as a whole the values of care , nurturance and morality '' , and was intended to improve the quality of life of women and children . To improve the conditions of women and children these policies attempted to reconcile the conflicting roles placed on women during this time period . As single mothers were responsible for both supporting their families and raising children , government assistance would reduce the probability that they could be charged with neglecting their `` home duties '' .

neg: Conservatism in North America Conservatism in North America is a political philosophy that varies in form , depending on the country and the region , but that has similar themes and goals . Academic study into the differences and similarities between conservatism in North American countries has been undertaken on numerous occasions . Reginald Bibby has asserted that the primary reason that conservatism has been so strong and enduring throughout North America is because of the propagation of religious values from generation to generation . This connection is strongest in mainstream Protestantism in the United States and both Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in Canada .   According to Louis Hartz , nations that developed from settler colonies were European `` fragments '' that froze the class structure and underlying ideology prevalent in the mother country at the time of their foundation . He considered Latin America and French Canada to be fragments of feudal Europe , and the United States and English Canada as liberal fragments . However Gad Horowitz , writing that Hartz had acknowledged a Tory influence in English Canada , claimed a conservative tradition had developed there as well . American conservatism is generally considered to be a variety of liberalism , rather than true conservatism , although Canada also developed an American style conservatism that competed with the older Tory conservatism . A right-wing conservatism , or `` Latin conservatism '' , developed in Latin America and Quebec . Today , conservative and conservative liberal parties in North America cooperate through the International Democrat Union .

neg: American Health Line American Health Line is a daily health care policy briefing which `` covers the coverage '' . It is published by the Advisory Board Company from its headquarters in Washington , DC . It was previously under the auspices of National Journal .   American Health Line '' 's primary audience includes health care professionals . It intends to be a comprehensive , non-partisan digest of that day 's health care events relating to policy and industry .   Related publications of American Health Line include California Healthline , iHealthBeat , Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report , Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report , Kaiser Weekly Health Disparities Report , Greater Cincinnati Health Watch and Global Health Reporting '' .

neg: Liberal democracy Liberal democracy is a liberal political ideology and a form of government in which representative democracy operates under the principles of classical liberalism . It is also called western democracy . It is characterised by fair , free , and competitive elections between multiple distinct political parties , a separation of powers into different branches of government , the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society , and the equal protection of human rights , civil rights , civil liberties , and political freedoms for all people . To define the system in practice , liberal democracies often draw upon a constitution , either formally written or uncodified , to delineate the powers of government and enshrine the social contract . After a period of sustained expansion throughout the 20th century , liberal democracy became the predominant political system in the world .   A liberal democracy may take various constitutional forms : it may be a constitutional monarchy ( Australia , Belgium , Canada , Japan , Norway , Spain and the United Kingdom ) or a republic ( France , India , Ireland , the United States ) . It may have a parliamentary system ( Australia , India , Ireland , the United Kingdom ) , a presidential system ( Indonesia , the United States ) , or a semi-presidential system ( France ) .   Liberal democracies usually have universal suffrage , granting all adult citizens the right to vote regardless of race , gender or property ownership . Historically , however , some countries regarded as liberal democracies have had a more limited franchise , and some do not have secret ballots . There may also be qualifications such as voters being required to register before being allowed to vote . The decisions made through elections are made not by all of the citizens , but rather by those who choose to participate by voting .   The liberal democratic constitution defines the democratic character of the state . The purpose of a constitution is often seen as a limit on the authority of the government . Liberal democracy emphasises the separation of powers , an independent judiciary , and a system of checks and balances between branches of government . Liberal democracies are likely to emphasise the importance of the state being a Rechtsstaat , i.e. , a state that follows the principle of rule of law . Governmental authority is legitimately exercised only in accordance with written , publicly disclosed laws adopted and enforced in accordance with established procedure . Many democracies use federalism -- also known as vertical separation of powers -- in order to prevent abuse and increase public input by dividing governing powers between municipal , provincial and national governments ( e.g. , Germany where the federal government assumes the main legislative responsibilities and the federated Länder assume many executive tasks ) .

neg: Equity of condition Equity of condition in tax law and governmental spending is the economic condition , often arbitrary , that political leaders believe a person should be in after governmental social engineering and redistribution of wealth . The award or redistribution of wealth to the recipients overrides , substantially , any natural right of the producers of the wealth to keep the fruits of their labor .   The award of wealth in a socialist economy may be extensive , with a proscribed level of benefits for food , housing , health , education , recreation , welfare , etcetera -- and have little or no relation to the citizen 's productivity ( e.g. , before-tax income ) . The result , however , is that economic productivity and the standard of living can be lessened in a socialist economy due to disincentive to production .   Equity of condition in a mixed economy , such as the United States , can be nebulous and ever-changing . Governmental subsidies and tax deductions may be extended for political reasons , and a political leader may never provide comprehensive economic rationale for his particular fiscal policy actions . The cost of the benefits is merely shifted to a discriminated portion of the tax base . Benefits may also be illusory to recipients , because further political manipulation of the tax code by political leaders can nullify the recipients ' original gains .

neg: Conservatism Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes retaining traditional social institutions in the context of culture and civilization . By some definitions , conservatives have variously sought to preserve institutions including religion , monarchy , parliamentary government , property rights and the social hierarchy , emphasizing stability and continuity , while the more extreme elements called reactionaries oppose modernism and seek a return to `` the way things were '' . The first established use of the term in a political context originated with François-René de Chateaubriand in 1818 , during the period of Bourbon restoration that sought to roll back the policies of the French Revolution . The term , historically associated with right-wing politics , has since been used to describe a wide range of views .   There is no single set of policies that are universally regarded as conservative , because the meaning of conservatism depends on what is considered traditional in a given place and time . Thus conservatives from different parts of the world -- each upholding their respective traditions -- may disagree on a wide range of issues . Edmund Burke , an 18th-century politician who opposed the French Revolution but supported the American Revolution , is credited as one of the main theorists of conservatism in Great Britain in the 1790s . According to Quintin Hogg , the chairman of the British Conservative Party in 1959 , `` Conservatism is not so much a philosophy as an attitude , a constant force , performing a timeless function in the development of a free society , and corresponding to a deep and permanent requirement of human nature itself '' . In contrast to the tradition-based definition of conservatism , political theorists such as Corey Robin define conservatism primarily in terms of a general defense of social and economic inequality . From this perspective conservatism is less an attempt to uphold traditional institutions and more `` a meditation on -- and theoretical rendition of -- the felt experience of having power , seeing it threatened , and trying to win it back .

neg: Mental health care in the Philippines Mental health is defined as `` a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential , can cope with the normal stresses of life , can work productively and fruitfully , and is able to make a contribution to her or his community '' . The World Health Organization emphasized the importance of mental health by including it in their definition of health as `` a state of complete physical , mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity . ''   Mental health care is the status of providing and maintaining psychological , psychiatric , and emotional health by means of diagnosis , treatment , and prevention of mental illnesses .   This article will survey the status of psychological , psychiatric , and emotional health care in the Philippines from both past and present programs .

neg: Patient Self-Determination Act The Patient Self-Determination Act ( PSDA ) was passed by the United States Congress in 1990 as an amendment to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 . Effective on December 1 , 1991 , this legislation required many hospitals , nursing homes , home health agencies , hospice providers , health maintenance organizations ( HMOs ) , and other health care institutions to provide information about advance health care directives to adult patients upon their admission to the healthcare facility . This law does not apply to individual physicians .   Because the 1991 PSDA does not apply to individual physicians , private clinics and practices , most of which are incorporated for-profit organizations , the problem of cruel over treatment for profit of the elderly on Medicare/Medicaid was not controlled to the extent that Congress hoped would be possible when the states would implement the goals of the 1991 PSDA in state laws . ( Recently , in 2012 , the newspapers have revealed that The United States Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice have cooperated to prosecute over treatment of patients under the federal False Claims Act . ) The goals of the 1991 PSDA are covered in the PURPOSE section , below .   Section 1233 of the proposed America 's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 ( H.R. 3200 ) would have authorized reimbursements for physician counseling regarding advance directives ( once every five years ) but it was not included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 because of controversy over what were characterized as `` death panels . ''   Unfortunately , because the law of the 1991 PSDA does not require or mandate the treating physicians -- after an educated `` terminal '' prognosis that is shared with the patient -- to seek informed consent from elderly and terminal Medicare/Medicaid patients for either Curative Care under Medicare or palliative care , transition to Hospice in the last six months of life ( also paid or out of the Medicare purse ) , the goals of the PSDA are not realized . Patient self rationing of expensive medical care at the end of life through the process of the advance directive under the provisions of the 1991 PSDA is discouraged because the patients have not had end-of-life conversations with the treating physicians .

neg: Home care Home care ( also referred to as domiciliary care , social care , or in-home care ) is supportive care provided in the home . Care may be provided by licensed healthcare professionals who provide medical treatment needs or by professional caregivers who provide daily assistance to ensure the activities of daily living ( ADLs ) are met . In-home medical care is often and more accurately referred to as `` home health care '' or formal care . Often , the term home health care is used to distinguish it from non-medical care , custodial care , or private-duty care which refers to assistance and services provided by persons who are not nurses , doctors , or other licensed medical personnel . For terminally ill patients , home care may include hospice care . For patients recovering from surgery or illness , home care may include rehabilitative therapies .   Home health services help adults , seniors , and pediatric clients who are recovering after a hospital or facility stay , or need additional support to remain safely at home and avoid unnecessary hospitalization . These Medicare-certified services may include short-term nursing , rehabilitative , therapeutic , and assistive home health care . This care is provided by registered nurses ( RNs ) , licensed practical nurses ( LPN 's ) , physical therapists ( PTs ) , occupational therapists ( OTs ) , speech language pathologists ( SLPs ) , home health aides ( HHAs ) and medical social workers ( MSWs ) as a limited number of up to one hour visits , addressed primarily through the Medicare Home Health benefit .   The largest segment of home care consists of licensed and unlicensed non-medical personnel , including caregivers who assist the individual . Care assistants may help the individual with daily tasks such as bathing , eating , cleaning the home and preparing meals . Caregivers work to support the needs of individuals who require such assistance . These services help the client to stay at home versus living in a facility . Non-medical home care is paid for by the individual or family . The term `` private-duty '' refers to the private pay nature of these relationships . Home care ( non-medical ) has traditionally been privately funded as opposed to home health care which is task-based and government or insurance funded .   These traditional differences in home care services are changing as the average age of the population has risen . Individuals typically desire to remain independent and use home care services to maintain their existing lifestyle . Government and Insurance providers are beginning to fund this level of care as an alternative to facility care . In-Home Care is often a lower cost solution to long-term care facilities .

neg: Wealth and Poverty Wealth and Poverty is a best-selling 1981 non-fiction book by investor and author George Gilder .   After completing Visible Man in the late 1970s Gilder began writing `` The Pursuit of Poverty . '' In early 1981 Basic Books published the result as Wealth and Poverty . The book was an analysis of the roots of economic growth . Reviewing it within a month of the inauguration of the Reagan Administration the New York Times reviewer called it `` A Guide to Capitalism '' . It offered , he wrote , `` a creed for capitalism worthy of intelligent people . '' The book was a New York Times bestseller and eventually sold over a million copies .   In Wealth and Poverty Gilder extended the sociological and anthropological analysis of his early books in which he had advocated for the socialization of men into service to women through work and marriage . He wove these sociological themes into the economic policy prescriptions of supply-side economics . The breakup of the nuclear family and the policies of demand-side economics led to poverty . Family and supply-side policies led to wealth .   In reviewing the problems of the immediate past -- the inflation , recession , and urban problems of the 1970s -- and proposing his supply-side solutions , Gilder argued not just the practical but the moral superiority of supply-side capitalism over the alternatives . `` Capitalism begins with giving , '' he asserted , while New Deal liberalism created moral hazard . It was work , family , and faith that created wealth out of poverty . `` It is this supply-side moral vision that underlies all the economic arguments of Wealth and Poverty , '' he wrote .   In 1994 Gilder asserted that America has no poverty problem , that the real problem is the `` moral decay '' of the `` so-called poor '' , and that their real need is `` Christian teaching from the churches . '' He calls the poor in America `` the so-called poor '' who have been `` ruined by the overflow of American prosperity '' , and asserts they have more purchasing power than the middle class in Japan in the 1990s .   Wealth and Poverty advanced a practical and moral case for supply-side economics and capitalism during the early months of the Reagan administration and made him Ronald Reagan 's most quoted living author .

neg: Supporting Healthy Marriage Project The Supporting Healthy Marriage Project , SHM , is part of the Healthy Marriage Initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services , Administration for Children and Families , that was launched in 2003 as `` the first large-scale , multisite , multiyear , rigorous test of marriage education programs for low-income married couples . '' The project is motivated by research that `` indicates that married adults and children raised by both parents in stable , low-conflict households do better on a host of outcomes . '' The evaluation is led by MDRC , in collaboration with Abt Associates and other partners . USASpending.gov reports payments of more than $ 30 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to MDRC for work on the Supporting Healthy Marriage Project from 2009 to 2012 .   Major study questions of the Supporting Healthy Marriage Project include :  What are the experiences , issues and challenges in designing , implementing and operating healthy marriage education and related services for lower-income couples with children ?  What are the net impacts of the programs on : marital stability and relationship quality ; attitudes and expectations regarding their marriage ; parenting attitudes and behaviors ; measures of adult well-being and child well-being and development ( e.g. , cognitive , social , emotional , health ) , and economic outcomes for families ?   Limited federal funding for a Healthy Marriage Initiative began in 2001 to `` help couples who choose to get married gain greater access to marriage education services that will enable them to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to form and sustain a healthy marriage . '' In 2005 , Wade Horn , Assistant Secretary for the Administration for Children and Families , highlighted plans for a significant expansion of funding in testimony before the Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness , House Committee on Education and the Workforce :   `` Although I have focused on the areas of primary interest to your committee , I would be remiss if I did not briefly highlight other key areas of our proposal that play a critical role in the well-being of children , teenagers , and families . Indeed , we establish improving the well-being of children as the overarching purpose of TANF ... . In support of that overarching purpose , our proposal seeks to improve child well-being through programs aimed at encouraging responsible fatherhood and healthy marriages . By discontinuing the Out of Wedlock Birth Reduction Bonus and redirecting part of the High Performance Bonus Funding , we provide $ 200 million for programs aimed at promoting family formation and healthy marriages . We also provide $ 40 million in funding for the support of responsible fatherhood and healthy marriage programs to reverse the rise in father absence and its subsequent impact on children . ''

neg: Women's reproductive health in the United States Women 's reproductive health in the United States refers to the set of physical , mental , and social issues related to the health of women in the United States . It includes the rights of women in the United States to adequate sexual health , available contraception methods , and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases . The prevalence of women 's health issues in American culture is inspired by second-wave feminism in the United States . As a result of this movement , women of the United States began to question the largely male-dominated health care system and demanded a right to information on issues regarding their physiology and anatomy . The U.S. government has made significant strides to propose solutions , like creating the Women 's Health Initiative through the Office of Research on Women 's Health in 1991 .

neg: NYC Health + Hospitals NYC Health + Hospitals , officially the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation ( HHC ) , operates the public hospitals and clinics in New York City . A public benefit corporation with $ 6.7 billion in annual revenues , HHC is the largest municipal healthcare system in the United States serving 1.4 million patients , including more than 475,000 uninsured city residents , providing services interpreted in more than 190 languages . HHC was created in 1969 by the New York State Legislature as a public benefit corporation ( Chapter 1016 of the Laws 1969 ) . It is similar to a municipal agency , but has a Board of Directors . It operates 11 acute care hospitals , five nursing homes , six diagnostic and treatment centers , and more than 70 community-based primary care sites , serving primarily the poor and working class . HHC 's own MetroPlus Health Plan is one of the New York area 's largest providers of government-sponsored health insurance and is the plan of choice for nearly half a million New Yorkers .   Each year HHC 's facilities provide about 225,000 inpatient admissions , one million emergency room visits and five million clinic visits to New Yorkers . HHC facilities treat nearly one-fifth of all general hospital discharges and more than one third of emergency room and hospital-based clinic visits in New York City .   The most well-known hospital in the HHC system is Bellevue Hospital , the oldest public hospital in the United States . Bellevue is the designated hospital for treatment of the President of the United States and other world leaders if they become sick or injured while in New York City . The president of HHC is Stanley Brezenoff .   The organization underwent a rebranding initiative in November 2015 , shortening its name from 40 characters to 19 characters , as `` NYC Health + Hospitals '' .

neg: Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 ( MACRA ) , commonly called the Permanent Doc Fix , is a law that establishes a new way to pay doctors who treat Medicare patients , revising the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 . Its reform is the largest in scale on the American health care system since the Affordable Care Act ( `` ObamaCare '' ) in 2010 . It changes the way Medicare doctors are reimbursed , fills in a funding gap and extends a popular children 's insurance program , CHIP .   MACRA related regulations also address incentives for use of health IT by physicians and other care providers .   Under MACRA , the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services ( DHHS ) is tasked with implementation of a Merit Based Incentive ( MIP ) an incentive program which consolidates the three existing incentive programs into one for eligible physicians . The legislation also allows for Advanced Alternative Payment Models ( APM ) in 2026 the conversion factor for both programs will be set at 0.75 % followed by each subsequent year .   The Government Accountability Office in partnership with the DHHS are set to assist in the implementation of nationwide electronic health records ( EHR ) , while simultaneously comparing and selecting of such programs for providers ; the EHR goal is set for December 31 , 2018 under MACRA .   The U.S. is set to transition from a fee for service system , which allowed physicians and providers to bill Medicare and Medicaid for services they provided to their patients , to a pay for performance based system using MIP , APM , and Accountable Care Organizations ( ACO ) .

neg: Liberal Movement (Australia) The Liberal Movement ( LM ) was a South Australian political party in the 1970s . Stemming from discontent within the ranks of the Liberal and Country League ( LCL ) , it was organised in 1972 by former premier Steele Hall as an internal group in response to a perceived resistance to sought reform within its parent . A year later , when tensions heightened between the LCL 's conservative wing and the LM , it was established in its own right as a progressive liberal party .   When still part of the league , it had eleven state parliamentarians . On its own , it was reduced to three parliamentarians − Hall and Robin Millhouse in the lower house and Martin Cameron in the upper house . At the 1974 federal election Hall won a Senate seat and was replaced by David Boundy . At the 1975 state election , Millhouse and Boundy retained their seats , while John Carnie won a second seat and Cameron retained his seat in the upper house , bringing the party to a peak of five parliamentarians .   In the 1974 federal election , it succeeded in having Hall elected to the Australian Senate with a primary vote of 10 per cent in South Australia . It built upon this in the 1975 state election , gaining almost a fifth of the total vote and an additional member . However , the non-Labor parties narrowly failed to dislodge the incumbent Dunstan Labor government . That result , together with internal weaknesses , led in 1976 to the LM 's being re-absorbed into the LCL , which by then had become the South Australian Division of the Liberal Party of Australia . The non-Labor forces again failed at the 1977 state election but succeeded in winning government for one term at the 1979 state election .   A segment of the LM , led by former state attorney-general Robin Millhouse , did not rejoin the Liberals , but instead formed a new party -- the New LM . This party , combined with the Australia Party -- under the invited leadership of Don Chipp -- formed the nucleus of the Australian Democrats which aspired to a balance of power in the federal Senate and up to four state upper houses for three decades . The LM and its successor parties gave voice to what is termed `` small-l liberalism '' in Australia .

neg: American way The American way of life or simply the American way is the unique lifestyle of the people of the United States of America . It refers to a nationalist ethos that adheres to the principle of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness . At the center of the American way is the American Dream that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work . This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism , the belief in the unique culture of the nation .   Author William Herberg offers the following definition :   One commentator notes , `` The first half of Herberg 's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it '' , even though `` Herberg 's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined ... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms '' .   In the National Archives and Records Administration 's 1999 Annual Report , National Archivist John W. Carlin writes , `` We are different because our government and our way of life are not based on the divine right of kings , the hereditary privileges of elites , or the enforcement of deference to dictators . They are based on pieces of paper , the Charters of Freedom - the Declaration that asserted our independence , the Constitution that created our government , and the Bill of Rights that established our liberties . ''

neg: Political positions of the Republican Party The platform of the Republican Party of the United States is generally based on conservatism , in contrast to the modern liberalism of the Democrats . The Republican Party 's conservatism involves support for free market capitalism , free enterprise , business , a strong national defense , deregulation , restrictions on labor unions , social-conservative policies , and traditional values , usually with a Christian foundation . The party is generally split on the issue of how to deal with illegal immigration .   In general , Republicans oppose abortion rights , funding to Planned Parenthood , drugs , Obamacare , Common Core , gun control and support Just Say No and school choice . On economics , Republicans oppose an increased minimum wage and the estate tax , and support free markets and individual achievement . On the environment , Republicans have introduced environmental programs such as the Environmental Protection Agency and cap-and-trade policies in the past , but tend to oppose them today . Republicans support clean air and clean water policies , but also support increased fracking and reject scientific consensus on global warming and climate change . The majority of Republicans oppose same-sex marriage and tend to support the death penalty .


query: Albanians living outside Albania and Kosovo are part of the Albanian diaspora.

pos: Albanian diaspora The Albanian diaspora encompasses Albanians outside of Albania , Kosovo , Republic of Macedonia , Montenegro , and Serbia .  The greatest concentrations are found in Italy , Greece , Germany , Switzerland and Turkey . There are also growing communities in Argentina , Austria , Canada , France , Romania , Belgium , Russia , Scandinavia , Ukraine , UK , and the USA . The Albanian diaspora is present throughout the world and is large in numbers .   The Albanian exodus , caused by the collapse of the communist regime in 1991 and the ensuing economic crisis , has been the largest emigration movement in Europe since the population movements after World War II . Between 1989 and 2001 , roughly 800,000 people have migrated out of Albania , about 440,000 of them settling in Greece , where Albanians make up 60 % of immigrants . This number has grown and Greek and Albanian estimates the number of immigrants to be as high as 700,000 . 350,000 Albanians have migrated to Italy over the 1990s to 2000s , however the number has increased substantially . The situation in Kosovo is similar . More than a million Albanians have left Kosovo since the late 1980s permanently , not counting those fleeing the Kosovo War who have subsequently returned . Important destinations for emigrating Albanians from Kosovo have been Switzerland and Germany .

pos: Albanians Albanians ( Shqiptarët ) are an ethnic group , native to Albania , Kosovo and neighboring countries . The term is also used to refer to the citizens of the Republic of Albania . Ethnic Albanians speak the Albanian language and more than half of ethnic Albanians live in Albania and Kosovo . A large Albanian population lives in the Republic of Macedonia and Italy , with smaller Albanian populations located in Serbia and Montenegro . The majority of Albanians are nominally Muslims ( mainly Sunni , with a smaller Shia , Sufi and Bektashi component ) , and a minority are nominally Christians ( Catholic and Orthodox ) .   Albanians produced many prominent figures such as Skanderbeg , leader of the medieval Albanian resistance to the Ottoman conquest and others during the Albanian National Awakening seeking self-determination . During the 17th and 18th century Albanians in large numbers converted to Islam , often to escape higher taxes levied on Christian subjects . As Muslims , some Albanians attained important political and military positions within the Ottoman Empire and culturally contributed to the wider Muslim world . Albania gained its independence in 1912 and between 1945 -- 1992 , Albanians lived under a repressive communist regime . Albanians within Yugoslavia underwent periods of discrimination and eventual self-determination that concluded with the breakup of that state in the early 1990s culminating with Albanians living in new countries and Kosovo . Outside the southwestern Balkans of where Albanians have traditionally been located , Albanian populations through the course of history have formed new communities contributing to the cultural , economic , social and political life of their host populations and countries while also at times assimilating too .   Between the 11th and 18th centuries , sizable numbers of Albanians migrated from the area of contemporary Albania to escape either various socio-political difficulties or the Ottoman conquest . One population which became the Arvanites settled down in southern Greece who starting from the 16th century though mainly during the 19th century onwards assimilated and today self identify as Greeks . Another population , who became the Arbëreshë settled in southern Italy and form the oldest continuous Albanian diaspora producing influential and many prominent figures . Smaller populations dating to migrations during the 18th century are located on Croatia 's Dalmatian coast and scattered communities across southern Ukraine .   The Albanian diaspora also exists in a number of other countries . One of these is located in Turkey . It was formed during the Ottoman era through economic migration and early years of the Turkish republic through migration for economic reasons and later sociopolitical circumstances of discrimination and violence experienced by Albanians in Balkan countries . Due to the Ottoman legacy , smaller populations of Albanians also exist in Egypt and the Levant , in particular Syria .

neg: Bosnians Bosnians ( Bosnian , Croatian and Serbian : Bosanci / Босанци ; singular : Bosnian ( Bosanac / Босанац ) are people who live in Bosnia , or who are of Bosnian descent . Bosnia is one of two main regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina .   According to the latest official population census made in Bosnia and Herzegovina , most of the people identified with Bosniak , Croat or Serb nationality . Some people identified with `` Bosnian '' nationality , however these are listed under the category `` Others '' ( along with all the other options such as Jews , Romas etc. ) . According to the latest population census ( 2013 ) , there were around 2.7 % `` Others '' .   According to some , a Bosnian can be anyone who holds citizenship of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina , and thus is largely synonymous with the all-encompassing national demonym Bosnians and Herzegovinians . This includes , but is not limited to , members of the constituent ethnic groups of Bosnia and Herzegovina : Bosniaks , Serbs and Croats . Those who reside in the smaller geographical region of Herzegovina usually prefer to identify as Herzegovinians .   CIA factbook , used in this article as a source for numbers , does n't mention a sole `` Bosnian '' nationality . Instead it mentions `` Bosnian ( s ) , Herzegovinian ( s ) '' thereby emphasizing the regional significance and equity between the terms .   Ethnic minorities in this territory , such as Jews , Roma , Albanians , Montenegrins and others , may consider Bosnian as an adjective modifying their ethnicity ( e.g. Bosnian Roma ) to indicate place of residence . Other times they use ( with equal rights ) the term Herzegovinians .   In addition , a sizable population in Bosnia and Herzegovina believe that the term `` Bosnians '' defines a people who constitute a distinct collective cultural identity or ethnic group . According to the latest ( 2013 ) census however , this population does n't rise above 2.7 % .   According to a study conducted by University of Montenegro , Faculty for Sport and Physical Education , Nikšić , Montenegro and University of Novi Sad in Serbia , Bosnian people are the tallest in the world .

neg: Albanians in Italy The Albani were an aristocratic Roman family , members of which attained the highest dignities in the Roman Catholic Church , one , Clement XI , having been Pope . They were ethnic Albanians who originally moved to Urbino from the region of Malësi e Madhe in Albania . and had been soldiers of Scanderbeg against the Ottoman Empire . Though eventually assimilated in their Italian environment , Clement XI 's Albanian antecedents were evident in his having commissioned , during his reign as a Pope , the famous Illyricum Sacrum . Today it is one of the main sources of the field of Albanology , with over 5000 pages divided in several volumes written by Daniele Farlati and Dom . Coletti .   There is an Albanian community in southern Italy , known as Arbëreshë , who had settled in the country starting with the 15th and the 16th century and later , displaced by the changes brought about by the expansion of the Ottoman Empire . Some managed to escape and were offered refuge from the repression by the Kingdom of Naples and Kingdom of Sicily ( both under Aragonese rule ) , where the Arbëreshë were given their own villages and protected .  The Arbëreshë were estimated as numbering at a quarter million in the 1976 .

neg: Immigration to Turkey Since the 19th century , an exodus by the large portion of Turkish ( Turkic ) and Muslim peoples ( who are termed `` Muhacir '' under a general definition ) from the Balkans ( Balkan Turks , Albanians , Bosniaks , Pomaks ) , Caucasus ( Abkhazians , Ajarians , ` Circassians ' , Chechens ) , Crimea ( Crimean Tatar diaspora ) , Crete ( Cretan Turks ) , took refuge in present-day Turkey and moulded the country 's fundamental features .   Trends of immigration towards Turkey continue to this day , although the motives are more varied and are usually in line with the patterns of global immigration movements -- Turkey , for example , receives many economic migrants from nearby countries such as Armenia , the Republic of Moldova , Georgia , Iran , and Azerbaijan , but also from Central Asia .

neg: Macedonia naming dispute The Macedonia naming dispute is a political dispute regarding the use of the name Macedonia between the southeastern European countries of Greece and the Republic of Macedonia , formerly a federal unit of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia . Pertinent to its background is an early 20th century multifaceted dispute and armed conflict that formed part of the background to the Balkan Wars . The specific naming dispute , although an existing issue in Yugoslav -- Greek relations since World War II , was reignited after the breakup of Yugoslavia and the newly gained independence of the former Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1991 . Since then , it has been an ongoing issue in bilateral and international relations .   Citing historical and territorial concerns resulting from the ambiguity between the Republic of Macedonia , the adjacent Greek region of Macedonia and the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon which falls mostly within Greek Macedonia , Greece opposes the use of the name `` Macedonia '' by the Republic of Macedonia without a geographical qualifier such as `` Northern Macedonia '' for use by all and for all purposes . As millions of ethnic Greeks identify themselves as Macedonians , unrelated to the Slavic people who are associated with the Republic of Macedonia , Greece further objects to the use of the term `` Macedonian '' for the neighboring country 's largest ethnic group and its language . The Republic of Macedonia is accused of appropriating symbols and figures that are historically considered part of Greek culture such as the Vergina Sun and Alexander the Great , and of promoting the irredentist concept of a United Macedonia , which involves territorial claims on Greece , Bulgaria , Albania , and Serbia .   The dispute has escalated to the highest level of international mediation , involving numerous attempts to achieve a resolution . In 1995 , the two countries formalised bilateral relations and committed to start negotiations on the naming issue , under the auspices of the United Nations . Until a solution is found , the provisional reference `` the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia '' ( sometimes unofficially abbreviated as FYROM ) is used by international organisations and states which do not recognise translations of the constitutional name Republic of Macedonia ( Република Македонија , Republika Makedonija ) . UN members , and the UN as a whole , have agreed to accept any final agreement on a new name resulting from negotiations between the two countries . The parties are represented by Ambassadors Vasko Naumovski and Adamantios Vassilakis , under the mediation of Matthew Nimetz .

neg: Georgian diaspora The Georgian diaspora refers to both historical and present emigration from Georgia . The countries with the largest Georgian communities outside Georgia are Turkey and Russia .

neg: Stateless nation Stateless nation is a political term for ethnic/national minority that does not possess its own state and is not the majority population in any nation state . The term implies that the group `` should have '' such a state . Members of stateless ethnic groups may be citizens/nationals of the country in which they live , or they may be denied citizenship by that country . Stateless nations are usually not represented as a nation in international sports such as FIFA , Olympics or in international communities such as the United Nations . Nations without state are classified as fourth world nations . Some of the stateless nations have a great heritage and a long tradition of statehood in the past and some were always a stateless nation , which was dominated by another nation for a large part of its history .   Stateless nations either are dispersed across a number of states ( for example , the Yoruba people are found in the African states of Nigeria , Benin and Togo ) or form the native population of a province within a larger state ( such as the Uyghur people in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region within the People 's Republic of China ) . Some stateless nations historically had a state , which was absorbed by another ; for example , Tibet 's declaration of independence in 1913 was not recognized , and it was invaded in 1951 by the People 's Republic of China which claims that Tibet is an integral part of China , while the Tibetan government-in-exile maintains that Tibet is an independent state under unlawful occupation . Some ethnic groups were once a stateless nation that later became a nation state ( for example , the nations of the Balkans such as the Croats , Serbs , Bosniaks , Slovenes , Montenegrins , Kosovars and Macedonians were once part of a multinational state of Yugoslavia . Since the breakup of Yugoslavia many nation states were formed ) .   Stateless nations can have large population . For example , The Tamils are a stateless nation in South Asia with a population of more than 70 million . They form one of the largest ethnic groups in South India . Governments may respond differently on stateless nations in their states . For example , the suppression of the Tamil people in Sri Lanka led to one of the longest and most violent separatist conflict between 1983 and 2009 . However , a similar ethnic conflict was absent among Tamils in India during this period , because they were peacefully integrated into the federal structure of India . Multiple stateless nations can reside in the same region . For example , Catalans , Basques , Aragonese , Galicians , Asturians , Valencians , Andalusians in Iberian Peninsula or the Brahui , Santhals and Balochs in South Asia .   The Romani people are another stateless people . They may be a special case being distributed among numerous countries with no clear homeland ; as a traditionally `` nomadic '' people , the Romani/Roma are a classical `` stateless nation '' without aspiration to sovereign territory . As not all states are nation states , there are a number of ethnic groups who live in a multinational state without being considered `` stateless nations '' .

About 1.3 million American people are of Greek descent , although there are estimates that raise this number to 3 million , and 321,144 people older than five spoke Greek at home in 2010 .   Greek Americans have the highest concentrations in the New York City , Boston , and Chicago regions , but have settled in major metropolitan areas across the United States . In 2000 , Tarpon Springs , Florida was home to the highest per capita representation of Greek Americans in the country ( 11 % ) . The United States is home to the largest overseas Greek community , ahead of Australia , Cyprus , Albania , Canada , Germany , and the United Kingdom .

neg: 2004 unrest in Kosovo Violent unrest in Kosovo broke out on 17 March 2004 . Kosovo Albanians , numbering over 50,000 , took part in wide-ranging attacks on the Kosovo Serb minority . It was the largest violent incident in Kosovo since the Kosovo War of 1998 -- 1999 .   According to reports by news sources in Serbia , during the unrest , civilians were killed , thousands of Serbs were forced to leave their homes , 935 Serb houses , 10 public facilities ( schools , health care centers and post offices ) and 35 Serbian Orthodox church buildings were desecrated , damaged or destroyed , and six towns and nine villages were ethnically cleansed .   The events were compared by the then Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica to ethnic cleansing . In Serbia the events were also called the `` March Pogrom '' .

neg: Has District Has District ( Rrethi i Hasit ) was one of the thirty-six districts of Albania ( which were dissolved in 2000 ) that is now part of Kukës County , and one of the smallest districts of Albania . It had a population of 17,419 ( 2010 estimate ) , and an area of 393 km ² . It is in the north-east of the country , and its capital and only municipality was Krumë .   Has District , besides the town of Krumë , comprised a number of villages which are well known for their help in 1999 during the Kosovo War against the Serbian Army , for the unprecedented hospitality given to the thousands of refugees from Kosovo ( there were about 78,000 refugees staying in the homes of Has inhabitants , or more than threefold the population of the Has District at that time ) . Hasi is located in the border of Albania and Kosovo . The ethnographic region of Has is much wider than the District of Has , because about half of this region is located in the territory of Kosovo , from the Albania-Kosovo border to the gates of the cities of Prizren and Gjakova . Hasi was the trade center of north Albania .   Year-by-year the population of Has has been falling dramatically . European studies show that the decline in the Has population is falling due to the lack of economy so there is a huge number of people from this area migrating to countries like the United Kingdom and the United States but mostly to Tirana , the capital of Albania .

neg: Origin of the Albanians The origin of the Albanians has been for some time a matter of dispute among historians . Contemporary historians conclude that the Albanians are not descendants of a single ancient population and apart from a possible connection with prehistoric Balkan populations , such as the Illyrians , Dacians or Thracians , there is an additional admixture of Slavic , Greek , Vlach , Roman , Celtic and Germanic element . Little is known about the ancient Balkan people , and they blended into one another in Thraco-Illyrian and Daco-Thracian contact zones even in antiquity .   The Albanians first appear in the historical record in Byzantine sources of the 11th century . At this point , they were already fully Christianized . Very little evidence of pre-Christian Albanian culture survives , although Albanian mythology and folklore are of Paleo-Balkanic origin and almost all of their elements are pagan , in particular showing Greek influence .   The Albanian language forms a separate branch of Indo-European , first attested in the 15th century , and is considered to have evolved from one of the Paleo-Balkans languages of antiquity .   Studies in genetic anthropology show that the Albanians share similar ancestry to many other Europeans , and especially other peoples of the Balkans . The Albanians are also one of Europe 's populations that has most common ancestors within their own ethnic group even though they share ancestors with other ethnic groups .

neg: Corporate law Corporate law ( also `` company '' or `` corporations '' law ) is the practice or study of how shareholders , directors , employees , creditors , and other stakeholders such as consumers , the community , and the environment interact with one another . Corporate law is a part of a broader companies law ( or law of business associations ) . Other types of business associations can include partnerships ( in the UK governed by the Partnership Act 1890 ) , or trusts ( like a pension fund ) , or companies limited by guarantee ( like some community organizations or charities ) . Under corporate law , corporations of all sizes have separate legal personality , with limited or unlimited liability for its shareholders . Shareholders control the company through a board of directors which , in turn , typically delegates control of the corporation 's day-to-day operations to a full-time executive . Corporate law deals with firms that are incorporated or registered under the corporate or company law of a sovereign state or their subnational states . The four defining characteristics of the modern corporation are :   Separate legal personality of the corporation ( access to tort and contract law in a manner similar to a person )  Limited liability of the shareholders ( a shareholder 's personal liability is limited to the value of their shares in the corporation )  Shares ( if the corporation is a public company , the shares are traded on a stock exchange )  Delegated management ; the board of directors delegates day-to-day management of the company to executives   In many developed countries outside of the English speaking world , company boards are appointed as representatives of both shareholders and employees to `` codetermine '' company strategy . Corporate law is often divided into corporate governance ( which concerns the various power relations within a corporation ) and corporate finance ( which concerns the rules on how capital is used ) .

neg: American way The American way of life or simply the American way is the unique lifestyle of the people of the United States of America . It refers to a nationalist ethos that adheres to the principle of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness . At the center of the American way is the American Dream that upward mobility is achievable by any American through hard work . This concept is intertwined with the concept of American exceptionalism , the belief in the unique culture of the nation .   Author William Herberg offers the following definition :   One commentator notes , `` The first half of Herberg 's statement still holds true nearly half a century after he first formulated it '' , even though `` Herberg 's latter claims have been severely if not completely undermined ... materialism no longer needs to be justified in high-sounding terms '' .   In the National Archives and Records Administration 's 1999 Annual Report , National Archivist John W. Carlin writes , `` We are different because our government and our way of life are not based on the divine right of kings , the hereditary privileges of elites , or the enforcement of deference to dictators . They are based on pieces of paper , the Charters of Freedom - the Declaration that asserted our independence , the Constitution that created our government , and the Bill of Rights that established our liberties .

neg: Morgan family The Morgan family was an American financial and banking dynasty , which became prominent in the U.S. and throughout the world in the late 19th century and early 20th century . Members of the family amassed an immense fortune over the generations , primarily through the noted work of John Pierpont ( J. P. ) Morgan ( 1837 -- 1913 ) .   Morgan members were notable for dominating the banking industry during their time . J.P. Morgan was the de facto leader of this dynasty , having been the most prominent businessman in America at the turn of the century . He revolutionized numerous industries , including electricity , railroad , and steel . Through his business methods , he was highly successful in asserting his power as one of the most influential businessmen in America . Historians describe the Morgan family along with its web of partners to be part of the large American banking empire known as the House of Morgan . It is difficult to place an exact beginning and end date on the dynasty . However , many scholars attribute the death of J.P. Morgan to the end of the banking dynasty . American journalist and historian Ron Chernow wrote about the prominence of this dynasty under J.S. Morgan and J.P. Morgan . In The House of Morgan : An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance , he chronicles the lives of the Morgans , whose lives are `` encrusted with legend ... ripe with mystery , -LSB- and -RSB- exposed to such bitter polemics '' .

neg: Robert Gates Robert Michael `` Bob '' Gates ( born September 25 , 1943 ) is an American statesman , scholar , and university president who served as the 22nd United States Secretary of Defense from 2006 to 2011 . Gates initially began his career serving as an officer in the United States Air Force but was quickly recruited by the CIA . Gates served for 26 years in the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Council , and was Director of Central Intelligence under President George H. W. Bush . After leaving the CIA , Gates became president of Texas A&M University and was a member of several corporate boards . Gates served as a member of the Iraq Study Group , the bipartisan commission co-chaired by James A. Baker III and Lee H. Hamilton , that studied the lessons of the Iraq War .   Gates was nominated by Republican President George W. Bush as Secretary of Defense after the 2006 election , replacing Donald Rumsfeld . He was confirmed with bipartisan support . In a 2007 profile written by former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski , Time named Gates one of the year 's most influential people .

He retired in 2011 . `` He 'll be remembered for making us aware of the danger of over-reliance on military intervention as an instrument of American foreign policy , '' said former Senator David L. Boren . Gates was presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom , the nation 's highest civilian award , by President Obama during his retirement ceremony . According to a Washington Post book review , he is `` widely considered the best defense secretary of the post-World War II era '' .   Since leaving the Obama Administration , Gates has been elected President of the Boy Scouts of America , served as Chancellor of the College of William & Mary , and served as a member on several corporate boards .

neg: Mergers and acquisitions Mergers and acquisitions ( M&A ) are transactions in which the ownership of companies , other business organizations or their operating units are transferred or combined . As an aspect of strategic management , M&A can allow enterprises to grow , shrink , and change the nature of their business or competitive position .   From a legal point of view , a merger is a legal consolidation of two entities into one entity , whereas an acquisition occurs when one entity takes ownership of another entity 's stock , equity interests or assets . From a commercial and economic point of view , both types of transactions generally result in the consolidation of assets and liabilities under one entity , and the distinction between a `` merger '' and an `` acquisition '' is less clear . A transaction legally structured as an acquisition may have the effect of placing one party 's business under the indirect ownership of the other party 's shareholders , while a transaction legally structured as a merger may give each party 's shareholders partial ownership and control of the combined enterprise . A deal may be euphemistically called a `` merger of equals '' if both CEOs agree that joining together is in the best interest of both of their companies , while when the deal is unfriendly ( that is , when the management of the target company opposes the deal ) it may be regarded as an `` acquisition '' .

neg: Moore's law Moore 's law ( -LSB- mɔərz.ˈlɔː -RSB- ) is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years . The observation is named after Gordon Moore , the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel , whose 1965 paper described a doubling every year in the number of components per integrated circuit , and projected this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade . In 1975 , looking forward to the next decade , he revised the forecast to doubling every two years . The period is often quoted as 18 months because of Intel executive David House , who predicted that chip performance would double every 18 months ( being a combination of the effect of more transistors and the transistors being faster ) .   Moore 's prediction proved accurate for several decades , and has been used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development .  Advancements in digital electronics are strongly linked to Moore 's law : quality-adjusted microprocessor prices , memory capacity , sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras . Digital electronics has contributed to world economic growth in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries .  Moore 's law describes a driving force of technological and social change , productivity , and economic growth .   Moore 's law is an observation or projection and not a physical or natural law . Although the rate held steady from 1975 until around 2012 , the rate was faster during the first decade . In general , it is not logically sound to extrapolate from the historical growth rate into the indefinite future . For example , the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors , predicted that growth would slow around 2013 , and in 2015 Gordon Moore foresaw that the rate of progress would reach saturation : `` I see Moore 's law dying here in the next decade or so . ''   Intel stated in 2015 that the pace of advancement has slowed , starting at the 22 nm feature width around 2012 , and continuing at 14 nm . Brian Krzanich , CEO of Intel , announced that `` our cadence today is closer to two and a half years than two . '' This is scheduled to hold through the 10 nm width in late 2017 . He cited Moore 's 1975 revision as a precedent for the current deceleration , which results from technical challenges and is `` a natural part of the history of Moore 's law . ''   However , in April 2016 , Intel CEO Brian Krzanich stated that `` In my 34 years in the semiconductor industry , I have witnessed the advertised death of Moore 's Law no less than four times . As we progress from 14 nanometer technology to 10 nanometer and plan for 7 nanometer and 5 nanometer and even beyond , our plans are proof that Moore 's Law is alive and well '' . In January 2017 , he declared that `` I 've heard the death of Moore 's law more times than anything else in my career , '' Krzanich said . `` And I 'm here today to really show you and tell you that Moore 's Law is alive and well and flourishing . ''   Today hardware has to be designed in a multi-core manner to keep up with Moore 's law . In turn , this also means that software has to be written in a multi-threaded manner to take full advantage of the hardware .

'' Margaret Chan , Director-General of the World Health Organization , said : `` The GHIT Fund has stepped in to provide that incentive in a pioneering model of partnership that brings Japanese innovation , investment and leadership to the global fight against infectious disease . ''   The GHIT Fund is the first public-private partnership fund to involve a national government , a UN agency , a consortium of pharmaceutical and diagnostics companies , and international philanthropic foundations .   The public-private partnership model , the inclusion of a whole pharmaceutical sector and the structure of individual research projects across sectors and national boundaries are all aimed at reducing the R&D risk to any one entity and to ensure that findings are open to all . Another key opportunity the GHIT Fund has created has been to help open the doors of Japan 's public and private drug compound libraries to product development partnerships , which makes possible the screening of tens of thousands of drug candidates for potential new treatments .   The participating companies view their investments into neglected diseases through the Fund as a long-term investment into the future , rather than charity . They see the Fund as a necessary catalyst for having allowed them to pursue this line of research .

neg: Gate A gate or gateway is a point of entry to a space which is enclosed by walls . Gates may prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals , or they may be merely decorative . Other terms for gate include yett and port . The word derives from the old Norse `` gata '' , meaning road or path , and originally referred to the gap in the wall or fence , rather than the barrier which closed it . The moving part or parts of a gateway may be called `` doors '' , but used for the whole point of entry door usually refers to the entry to a building , or an internal opening between different rooms .   A gate may have a latch to keep it from swinging and a lock for security . Larger gates can be used for a whole building , such as a castle or fortified town , or the actual doors that block entry through the gatehouse . Today , many gate doors are opened by an automated gate operator .

Many of China 's largest companies are state-owned enterprises , due to the significant presence of the governing Chinese Communist Party in the national economy .

neg: Evolution of Management Systems ' A management system is the framework of processes and procedures used to ensure that an organization can fulfill all tasks required to achieve its objectives .   After World War II , the reigning paradigm of product-oriented mass production had reached its peak . Examples of management systems at that time are linear assembly lines , organizational hierarchies of command , product quality control and mass consumption .   Soon afterwards , the Deming-Juran process-quality teachings spearheaded a new quality orientation ( later referred to as Total quality management ) and propelled Japan directly to the post-war process focus ( process quality control , just-in-time , continuous improvement ) . The US responded by a painful and prolonged product-to-process transformation , ultimately leveling the playing field again by the mid 1980s .   At the end of the 1980s , business process reengineering focused on the radical redesign of the production process through the reintegration of task , labor and knowledge . As a result , lean , flexible and streamlined production processes were created , capable of fast response and internet-based integration necessary for the upcoming phase of supply chains - business-to-business ( B2B ) -- as well as demand chains -- business-to-customer ( B2C ) .   In the above three stages of Evolution of Management Systems '' ' , the competitive advantage was derived almost exclusively from the internal resources of the firm . At the end of the 1980s , a radical fourth shift has occurred : the competitive advantage became increasingly derived from the external resources of the firm -- through the extended networks of suppliers and customers .   Figure 1 refers to the basic scheme of production and service delivery process . It represents the traditional linear input-process-output management system . This system has been fixed and unchanging for centuries . The only change has been in terms of changing focus on individual components of the system , emphasizing different parts of this basic scheme .   Although the scheme itself ( inputs → process → outputs ) remains mostly unchallenged , there are some indications that this business model will undergo major restructurings in the future ( in the emerging stages of Evolution of Management Systems ) . It will become disaggregated and distributed , subjected to non-linear modularity and bringing forth new ways of making things and delivering services . Then it will become reintegrated again , tying together globally distributed components into a unified recycling whole .

neg: Business process management Business process management ( BPM ) is a field in operations management that focuses on improving corporate performance by managing and optimizing a company 's business processes . It can therefore be described as a `` process optimization process '' . It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient , more effective and more capable of change than a functionally focused , traditional hierarchical management approach . These processes can impact the cost and revenue generation of an organization .   As a policy-making approach , BPM sees processes as important assets of an organization that must be understood , managed , and developed to announce value-added products and services to clients or customers . This approach closely resembles other total quality management or continual improvement process methodologies and BPM proponents also claim that this approach can be supported , or enabled , through technology . As such , many BPM articles and scholars frequently discuss BPM from one of two viewpoints : people and/or technology .

neg: Arrow information paradox The Arrow information paradox ( information paradox for short ) , and occasionally referred to as Arrow 's disclosure paradox . named after Kenneth Arrow , American economist and joint winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics with John Hicks , is a problem that companies face when managing intellectual property across their boundaries . This happens when they seek external technologies for their business or external markets for their own technologies . It has implications for the value of technology and innovations as well as their development by more than one firm and for the need for and limitations of patent protection .   Arrow 's information paradox theory was set out in a 1962 paper . Cornell Law School professor Oskar Liivak has written in a paper for a conference at Stanford University that Arrow 's `` paper has been one of the foundational theoretical pillars of the incentive based theory of patents as Arrow 's work is thought to rule out a strictly market-based solution . ''   A fundamental tenet of the paradox is that the customer , i.e. the potential purchaser of the information describing a technology ( or other information having some value , such as facts ) , wants to know the technology and what it does in sufficient detail as to understand its capabilities or have information about the facts or products to decide whether or not to buy it .   Once the customer has this detailed knowledge , however , the seller has in effect transferred the technology to the customer without any compensation . This has been argued to show the need for patent protection .   If the buyer trusts the seller , or is protected via contract , then they only need to know the results that the technology will provide , along with any caveats for its usage in a given context . A problem is that sellers lie , they may be mistaken , one or both sides overlook side consequences for usage in a given context , or some unknown unknown affects the actual outcome .   Discussions of the value of patent rights have taken Arrow 's information paradox into account in their evaluations . The theory has been the basis for many later economic studies . These include theories that pre-patent innovation can be carried out only by a single firm .

neg: Race and intelligence The connection between race and intelligence has been a subject of debate in both popular science and academic research since the inception of IQ testing in the early 20th century . The debate concerns the interpretation of research findings that test takers identifying as White tend on average to score higher than test takers of African ancestry on IQ tests , and subsequent findings that test takers of East Asian background tend to score higher than whites .   The first test showing differences in IQ test results between different population groups in the US was the tests of United States Army recruits in World War I . In the 1920s groups of eugenics lobbyists argued that this demonstrated that African-Americans and certain immigrant groups were of inferior intellect to Anglo-Saxon whites due to innate biological differences , using this as an argument for policies of racial segregation . Soon , other studies appeared , contesting these conclusions and arguing instead that the Army tests had not adequately controlled for the environmental factors such as socio-economic and educational inequality between African-Americans and Whites . The debate reemerged again in 1969 , when Arthur Jensen championed the view that for genetic reasons Africans were less intelligent than whites and that compensatory education for African-American children was therefore doomed to be ineffective . In 1994 , the book The Bell Curve argued that social inequality in the United States could largely be explained as a result of IQ differences between races and individuals rather than being their cause , and rekindled the public and scholarly debate with renewed force . During the debates following the book 's publication the American Anthropological Association and the American Psychological Association ( APA ) published official statements regarding the issue , both highly skeptical of some of the book 's claims , although the APA report called for more empirical research on the issue .   In subsequent decades much research has been published about the relationships between hereditary influences on IQ , group differences in intelligence , race , environmental influences on IQ . Particularly contentious in the ongoing debate has been the definition of both the concept `` race '' and the concept `` intelligence '' , and especially whether they can in fact be objectively defined and operationalized .

neg: Turning the Pages Turning the Pages is software technology for viewing scanned books on-line in a realistic and detailed manner . It was developed by the British Library in partnership with Armadillo Systems .   The original version , first released in 1997 , uses Adobe Shockwave .   In January 2007 version 2.0 version was developed for Microsoft Vista using a browser-based Windows Presentation Foundation format . Features include page turns that are modeled on the actually deformation of different types of material ( for example in a book with vellum pages , which is heavier than printed on paper , will appear to collapse under its own weight as it is turned ) . For certain books , such as the Sherborne Missal , the gold leaf catches the light as the book moves around .   The British Library has released a `` Turning the Pages Toolkit '' for libraries around the world to put their collections online .   The Codex Leicester along with Codex Arundel was one of the first to be made available in the 2.0 format , with Bill Gates saying `` This is an innovative way to bring treasures - including mine - to a new audience , ''

neg: Core International Core International , Inc. commonly known as Core , was a multinational computer and technology corporation headquartered in Boca Raton , Florida , United States .   The company is now part of Sony and no longer exists as stand-alone identity . The company was founded in 1979 by Hal Prewitt as a technology firm to develop , market and support computer related products and services . They were best known for supporting IBM 's first business microcomputers such as the 5100 , 5110 and 5120 . With the introduction of the IBM PC and PC AT , the company provided an extensive line of disk drives , backup and personal computer products . Core became very well known as a leading industry developer of disk array and computer data storage .   Many of Core 's products were the first of their kind , had no direct competition and were widely regarded for their superior performance and reliability . Users and the computer press raved about Core 's products . Infoworld described Core 's ATplus `` is built like a Sherman tank , offering exceptional performance and reliability . '' PC Magazine called them `` Workhorses of Performance Computing '' and `` High-quality construction . . breaks the speed barrier for access times '' and asked `` Will other manufactures follow suit ? ''   Core was known for their advertising and perhaps produced a few of the PC Industry 's greatest promotions . The 1985 and 1986 rebate and recall Ad for IBM PC AT hard disk drives . So successful and controversial , there was a rumor it was a topic at an IBM board of directors meeting . And the time where they gave away a free IBM PC AT when purchasing one of Core 's ATplus 72 MB drives .   Core remained a private company solely owned by Prewitt until 1993 when purchased by Aiwa , which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony .

neg: Baby boomers Baby boomers are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation . There are no precise dates when the cohort birth years start and end . Typically , they range from the early-to-mid 1940s and end from 1960 to 1964 . Increased birth rates were observed during the post -- World War II baby boom making the baby boomers a relatively large demographic cohort .   The term `` baby boomer '' is also used in a cultural context , so it is difficult to achieve broad consensus of a precise date definition . Different people , organizations , and scholars have varying opinions on who is a baby boomer , both technically and culturally . Ascribing universal attributes to such a generation is difficult , and some believe it is inherently impossible , but many have attempted to determine their cultural similarities and historical impact , and the term has thus gained widespread popular usage .   Baby boomers are associated with a rejection or redefinition of traditional values . Many commentators , however , have disputed the extent of that rejection , noting the widespread continuity of values with older and younger generations . In Europe and North America , boomers are widely associated with privilege , as many grew up in a time of widespread government subsidies in post-war housing and education , and increasing affluence .   As a group , baby boomers were the wealthiest , most active , and most physically fit generation up to the era in which they arrived , and were amongst the first to grow up genuinely expecting the world to improve with time . They were also the generation that received peak levels of income ; they could therefore reap the benefits of abundant levels of food , apparel , retirement programs , and sometimes even `` midlife crisis '' products . The increased consumerism for this generation has been regularly criticized as excessive .   One feature of the boomers was that they have tended to think of themselves as a special generation , very different from those that had come before . In the 1960s , as the relatively large numbers of young people became teenagers and young adults , they , and those around them , created a very specific rhetoric around their cohort , and the changes they were bringing about . This rhetoric had an important impact in the self perceptions of the boomers , as well as their tendency to define the world in terms of generations , which was a relatively new phenomenon . The baby boom has been described variously as a `` shockwave '' and as `` the pig in the python . ''   The term `` Generation Jones '' is sometimes used to describe those born between 1954 and 1965 . The term is typically used to refer to the later years of the Baby boomer cohort ( 1954-1960 ) and the early years of Generation X ( 1961-1965 ) .

neg: Managerialism Managerialism is a belief in the value of professional managers and of the concepts and methods they use . Contemporary management writers such as Thomas Diefenbach associate managerialism with hierarchy . But managerialism is also linked to control , accountability and measurement , and an ideologically determined belief in the importance of tightly managed organizations , as opposed to individuals , or to groups that do not resemble an organization .   Following Enteman 's classic on Managerialism : The Emergence of a New Ideology ( 1993 ) , American management experts Robert Locke and J C Spender see managerialism as an expression of a special group -- management -- that entrenches itself ruthlessly and systemically in an organization . It deprives owners of decision-making power and workers of their ability to resist managerialism . In fact the rise of managerialism may in itself be a response to people 's resistance in society and more specific workers ' opposition against managerial regimes .   Building on Enteman ( 1993 ) and Locke/Spender ( 2011 ) the most up-to-date definition of Managerialism has been delivered by Thomas Klikauer in `` Managerialism -- Critique of an Ideology '' ( 2013 ) defining Managerialism as '' -LSB- ... -RSB- Managerialism combines management knowledge and ideology to establish itself systemically in organisations and society while depriving owners , employees ( organisational-economical ) and civil society ( social-political ) of all decision-making powers . Managerialism justifies the application of managerial techniques to all areas of society on the grounds of superior ideology , expert training , and the exclusive possession of managerial knowledge necessary to efficiently run corporations and societies . '' As Fayol 's and Taylor 's simple management mutated into managerialism , managerialism became a full-fledged ideology under the following formula : Management + Ideology + Expansion = Managerialism Two examples of the extension of management into the non-management domain -- the not for profit sphere of human existence -- are public schools and universities . In both cases , managerialism occurs when public institutions are run `` as if '' these were for-profit organization even though they remain government institutions funded through state taxes . In these cases , the term new public management has been used . But the ideology of managerialism can even extend into more distant institutions such as , for example , a College of Physicians .  At a time when much of this started Albert A. Anderson summarized managerialism as the ideological principle that sees societies as equivalent to the sum of the decisions and transactions made by the managements of organizations . This carries connotations to the Historian James Hoopes wrote ( 2003 ) :   '' -LSB- ... -RSB- the main genesis of managerialism lay in the human relations movement that took root at the Harvard Business School in the 1920s and 1930s under the guiding hand of Professor Elton Mayo . Mayo , an immigrant from Australia , saw democracy as divisive and lacking in community spirit . He looked to corporate managers to restore the social harmony that he believed the uprooting experiences of immigration and industrialization had destroyed and that democracy was incapable of repairing .
