Critical Analysis of Key Political, Social, and Economic Issues: PresidentialDecisions, Maternity Leave, Gender Wage Disparity, WorkplaceDiscrimination, and the Second Gulf War50 words each1-Presidents seem to have almost unlimitedresources to help them make decisions, yetsometimes they make wrong decisions. What is the primary reason why President's make wrongdecisions? (By wrong I mean decisions that do not work out as intended)There are many reasons why people including Presidents make wrong decisions, forexample President John F. Kennedy is famous for his massive blunder over the Bay ofPigs invasion of Cuba.Primary reasons for bad presidential decisions are faultyforesight and the possibility of incorrectly predicting the outcome of a situation. Alsoeven though the President may have unlimited resources some of the data he receivescould be in error.2-Take a look at this interactive map of Maternity leave on an international level at the linkbelow:http://www.npr.org/2011/08/09/137062676/time-with-a-newborn-maternity-leave-policies-around-the-worldDiscuss the following: Why do you think the U.S. lags behind other nations concerning theamount of maternity/paternity leave available to workers? Do you think this policy shouldchange? Should a change in this policy happen at the corporate or governmental level? Why orwhy not?The United States does lag far behind many other countries concerning the amount ofmaternity/paternity leave given because the United States is not considered to be a workplacefamily friendly nation. In my opinion this policy needs to change at a corporate level in order tofacilitate the placing of a greater emphasis on the importance of the family in the United States.3-After reading the article posted below answer the following questions:You may have to cut and paste the link below directly into your browserhttp://www.portfolio.com/views/blogs/daily-brief/2011/03/01/white-house-report-on-women-reveals-salary-disparity#ixzz1RL0mjZi\What do you think accounts for the wage disparity between men and women?According to the report even though American women are participating in the labor force muchmore than in previous generations and are also outpacing men in education the wage disparityseems to continue due largely to the fact that women need to leave the workplace to havechildren.What policy suggestions do you have to correct this issue?
