	Economic Agendas in Civil Wars: A Conference Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A small group of well-organized political élites often have powerful interests in sustaining civil conflicts due to the enormous profits which accrue to such groups through their control of territory and the means of violence.
		Political factors were seen by many as important (although not exclusive) root causes in the outbreak of conflict.
		The political aim of seizing a state or seceding from it can be the primary engines of conflicts which then "mutate" into economic agendas: pillaging, seizing land, exploiting labor and controlling trade.

		This year's Country Music Association Awards show was generally free of political posturing, as the industry joined together to honor Cash, who died Sept. 12 (and who posthumously won three trophies).

	Political Themes in the National Science Standards
		Multiculturalism holds the politically correct view that all cultures and ideas are of equal validity, and that there is, therefore, no real or universal truth.
		The political agendas and themes of the National Science Standards are part of the federal curriculum, which requires that its worldview must be integrated into all subjects.
		While integration of academic content between subjects is a good idea, the promotion of political agendas across subject areas is a bad idea and falls under the heading of indoctrination, not education.

	What is at stake in Australia's "History Wars" Part 1: Competing political agendas
		The key question is not whether Windschuttle and his supporters have a political agenda, but the content of their arguments and, even more importantly, what their arguments signify.
		Every historian has a political outlook, which shapes their method, whether or not they are conscious of it, and whether or not they choose to espouse definite political views.
		In any historical study, political views—of the individual historian and in the wider society—exert their influence upon which facts and events are selected, and how these facts are related to each other.

	History of the NCA
		The organisation was formed in response to a growing concern among members of the arts community that cuts in arts funding and the abolition of the metropolitan authorities were leaving the arts world increasingly vulnerable.
		The primary aim of the new organisation was to advocate on behalf of the arts and arts practitioners and raise an awareness of the importance of the arts on cross-party political agendas.
		Owing to the political nature of the organisation's remit it was formed as a company limited by guarantee, rather than as a charitable trust.

		The question of whether a political agenda played any role in the airing of the Segment is one of the most subjective, and most difficult, that the Panel has sought to answer.
		The political agenda question was posed by the Panel directly to Dan Rather and his producer, Mary Mapes, who appear to have drawn the greatest attention in terms of possible political agendas.
		The Panel does note, however, that on such a politically charged story, coming in the midst of a presidential campaign in which military service records had become an issue, there was a need for meticulous care to avoid any suggestion of an agenda at work.

		Yet this idea of oversimplified boys-versus-girls politics is indicative of the difference between first wave and second wave feminism.
		Politics is a question of marketing: the more people believe in an idea, the more true the idea is to a culture.
		The feminist movement is far from the only philosophy that has been reduced to politics, but they are a textbook example of how realities are filtered and manipulated to serve agendas.

	Gergen on Political Unmasking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		There is a group who give priority to political agendas (ideological critics), a group that seems to have more interest in language (literary-rhetoric), and a group that is more interested in understanding the way we construct our lives (and how to deconstruct them).
		Much of the tension comes between those who give top priority to the political agendas and the other two groups, both of whom feel alienated by the style of the political group.
		The political group, he says, primarily uses a technique of deconstruction that works by challenging the motivation of the opponents in endorsing the perspective they hold.

	America's Debate -> Discrimination of gays...by gays?
		The problem that arises from this incestuous political/cultural relationship is that groups become advocates of discrimination within their own community by creating political agendas that may not benefit or represent everyone.
		In other words, social groups that create political agendas are excluding themselves from the majority by making a separate political platform that is specific to their social group.
		The basis of discrimination is becoming more about a particular social group's politics than their actual race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.

		It seems that politics is where the power is and many churches want a piece of the power.
		For those churches that really want to impact social issues through political action, let me suggest that they take up the issue of temperance as it relates to any form of alcohol consumption.
		When churches become Political Action Committees for various social issues here and around the world often times they ignore or forget the main thing of helping people connect to God through Jesus Christ.
