Slide 3 you are to create your opening passages. This is equivalent to the first paragraph in the Declaration. The only passage you are allowed to use from the Declaration of Independence word for word is “When in course of human events”, the rest is in your own words.

Slide 7 – Closing remarks

Slide 8 – Bibliography

Intro of Declaration (complete page)

I chose Poland for a few reasons. After watching the movie Remembrance, which is based on a true story, I realized I share my last name with the main character. This of course peaked my interest. So, I began tracing my family’s origins. I know my father’s family left Poland and traveled to Austria, then came to the United States, all of which I has been confirmed via supporting documents. I have even had an ancestry DNA test conducted to trace and confirm my family’s history. I have always had an affinity for learning about the history of WWI. It is because if this and my family history that I decided to write about Poland. I wanted to know more about present day Poland and hope to visit this county one day.

EXAMPLE OF A GRIEVANCE:

Slide information: Obamacare – fines In your notes section you will have:

Congress has passed a national health care legislation call the Affordable Health Care Act. The insurance is to cover anyone who does not have insurance. It has unintended effects where the uninsured has to pay a fine if they did not sign up for coverage. You will pay the “higher of the two amounts: either 2% of your yearly household income or 325 per person, 162.5 for each child.” (Healthcare.gov)

Media revamp

Judicial reform threatens democracy

declinging international integration

Explanation of grievances (when you are talking about modern day governments, you NEED to take into account the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. We are talking about Present Day not yesteryear.)

Media revamp: “Poland’s broadcasting market is the largest in Eastern and Central Europe and has attracted foreign investment. There is freedom and diversity of information, although laws against deriding the nation and its political system are still in force (BBC, 2017).”

“FREEDOM OF SPEECH: POLAND PLOTS RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN MEDIA AND U.S. COMPANIES COULD BE HIT).”

This is an example of how Poland is declining deeper European integration and instead

Regulating the media consequently threatens free speech in Poland. The proposed plan would make the broadcasting chiefs subservient to the Treasury Minister of Poland. The Treasury Minister will then regulate foreign company’s present dominance of media by limiting the broadcasting powers of foreign companies with cross-platform holdings and market shares which are seen to produce fake news, bash the Polish government, and cover unimportant topics (Strzelecki & Waldoch, 2017).

Judiciary reform: “After a tense debate in parliament, lawmakers on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to send the draft bill on the Supreme Court for more work by a special parliamentary commission. Opposition legislators have proposed 1,300 amendments to the draft, which they say violates the constitution, kills judicial independence and destroys the democratic principle of the separation of the judiciary from the executive branch”. (VOA News, 2017).” judiciary is now under the political control of the ruling majority.” (Gorka, 2017).

“One of the reforms was the government’s move to grant the president greater powers to appoint judges to the Supreme Court, whose duties include confirming election results. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron had publicly agreed to back Article 7 proceedings against Poland before the Commission’s meeting.

The executive branch of the EU triggered Article 7 of the Lisbon Treaty, popularly known as ‘the nuclear option’. The procedure could eventually lead to Poland losing its voting rights in the EU. The European Commission has taken an unprecedented step in the history of the bloc. This is the first time an EU member will face legal procedures for non-compliance with the rules established by Brussels. (Gorka, 2017). Triggering Article 7 can lead to the suspension of a country’s voting rights at the European Council if all 27 other EU countries agree, but Hungary has said it would veto such as move.” (

declinging international integration:

“The European Commission has decided to suspend Poland’s voting rights in the EU after two years of dispute over judicial reforms that Brussels says undermine Polish courts’ independence” (Gorka, 2017).

Explanation of grievances (when you are talking about modern day governments, you NEED to take into account the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. We are talking about Present Day not yesteryear.)

Disdain for EU:

Poland’s leadership and their roles in regulating the media and consequently threatening free speech, attempting to change the judiciary branch, and upsetting the European Union (EU).

Many of these things have led the EU to threaten sanctions against the Polish government as they see judiciary changes as a threat to democracy and citizen’s rights.

Modifications to the judicial system and allow the Law and Justice party (PiS) to give ministers he power appoint judges and supreme court members, hence stacking political power and influence of the PiS.

The EU seeing this as deliberately undermining due process to protect human rights and the principles of the EU (The Guardian, 2017).

The Economy of the European Union as a Whole

Promoting Catholic Social Agenda:

“Finance Minister Morawiecki took over as head of the conservative Law and Justice party government in December 2017, replacing Beata Szydlo, who moved to the post of deputy prime minister.

Law and Justice leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski dropped Mrs Szydlo in what Polish political analysts see as a move to repair the country’s poor relations with the European Union, and prepare the party for a series of elections.

The Western-educated economist Mr Morawiecki has a more polished manner than his predecessor, but shares her strong support for Mr Kaczynski’s moves to limit the power of the judiciary, promote a conservative Catholic social agenda, and oppose European Union demands to accept Muslim refugees.” (BBC, 2017).

NEED ONE MORE REASON (Poland Challenges the European Identity, maybe)

Explanation of grievances (when you are talking about modern day governments, you NEED to take into account the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches. We are talking about Present Day not yesteryear.)

Fiscal Policy:

A challenge facing Poland’s economy in 2016 is the reeling in of its federal debt, which hovers around 50% of GDP as of December 2015. Considering the PiS also ran on a platform of increasing family benefits, lowering taxes on small- and medium-sized businesses, and lowering the pension age, it is difficult to see how the budget will be balanced in the short term. Economic participants are skeptical the PiS can devise policies that satisfy democratic demands, foster a healthy environment for business activity and investment, and reel in the public debt.

NATO ally Poland also hosts a contingent of about 900 U.S. troops, and has for many years contributed to U.S. and NATO missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it spends more of its GDP on military expenditures than most of its North Atlantic Treaty Organization neighbors, a subject Trump publicly lectured the alliance about during an awkward visit in May.
