Critical Thinking
APA referencing is one of the most important parts of the academic work of any student. It is one of the bases on which plagiarism is avoidable and this makes students researchers who acknowledge if they borrow ideas and facts from other places which are not their own. This means therefore that APA if approved for use in certain courses should be used to the latter as it helps out to even gauge a person’s ability to interact with knowledge and borrow the correct knowledge for use in their works. Herein I evaluate the use of APA referencing in the discussion and how effective it is.
Firstly the work is very well-intended according to APA guidelines of 1 inch. This makes ideas distinct and it helps the person reading be able to very fast realize the different paragraphs and therefore different paragraphs means different ideas and points of discussion. There is a reference to the book even though not stated explicitly. The book is about social work and in this discussion you talk about social work as well. Therefore even though not stated explicitly through in-text references there is a slight reference to the book. The titling is also very important in APA, in this discussion the titling is good as it is centered and capitalized in its entire first letters. However, the title is not bolded, and therefore there is a need to improve on that.
APA formatting and citation also emphasize in-text citations which should be the surname of the author and the year the book or the article was published. Unfortunately, that is not used in the discussion and therefore there is a need for improvement. Therefore with these improvements, the work is likely to be in the right manner and accordance with APA citation and formatting guidelines.

A Comparison of the French Constitutional Reforms with the Proposals to End the Political Gridlock in American Politics Especially Since the 2010 Elections
The 5th Republic instituted a number of constitutional reforms in France upon ending the 4th Republican political gridlock. The reforms ranged from a renewal of the party system to victory for feminism where minor parties and women were allowed to contest every elective post. Consequently, women made up 19% of the legislature.
Contrastingly, in the US especially after 2010, courts interfered with the democratic process. For instance, the 2010 Supreme Court’s ruling on the citizens united, disgraced the political equality that had been enjoyed by Americans for many years. This ruling ensured that independent billionaires and the political clout in Washington had their day at the expense of many disgruntled voters. Politicians could still reach out to corporate organizations for campaign funds.
“Inequality has a direct impact on the democratic process by placing greater amounts of wealth in the hands of a tiny minority, who can use it to exercise undue influence on who is nominated and elected. The influence can also lobby governmental decision-making bodies, which in turn allow them to generate even more wealth for themselves (Schneirov and Fernandez 210)”. Despite this blow to democracy, the 2010 US Affordable healthcare act had a plus for the democratization process by enabling all Americans to access health care.
A Comparison of US and French Electoral Systems and Bipartisanship amongst Their Parties
The French 5th Republic provides a case in point of two ballots plurality system. In this system, there is a need for a majority in the first ballot/round election. The absolute majority is registered by more than 50% of the cast votes. If there is no 50+1% in the first round, there is a rerun where the winner in this case, regardless of the percentage of votes, is one who has most votes. Like the US system, the weakest candidates are usually pressured to withdraw. On the other hand, the US system has impediments such as bare minimum vote sharing thresholds. These procedures obstruct small parties from winning voter representation.
Members of an electoral college in the USA determine the winner in case of a close race. In both countries, the party that holds the majority in the legislature tends to encourage polarization and hyper-partisanship amongst parties. For instance, the lack of suggestions for dramatic change, less charismatic leaders, cohabitation and scandals has reduced the presidential powers in France. “Republicans have been able to maintain control of the House since 1994 chiefly because elections are seldom contested and because large campaign donors are more likely to contribute to likely winners. (Schneirov and Fernandez 239)”
A Comparison of the Role of the Legislatures in Decision Making In France and Britain
The French Parliament is more powerful than the British parliament. This is because Britain has a parliamentary system where there is considerable unity between the executive and legislative branches. Consequently, parliament in Britain plays a very negligible decision making role. Apart from that, the party with the majority in parliament names the cabinet from its members. This means that the legislature cannot go against the executive given that its members are in the ruling party. Contrastingly, France has a hybrid system where the country is governed by two principals: the President and the Prime minister on a power sharing agreement. Since the running of government is the prerogative of the Prime minister and a cabinet appointed by the President, parliament has more power over the executive. However, the President can unanimously introduce a referendum; hence, bypassing the legislating role of parliament if the bill is passed by the masses. In the 1950’s, most French governments lasted for about 9 months because the lawmakers introduced a vote of no confidence and a new government was elected if their motion sailed through by absolute majority.
A Comparison of the Role of the State in France and the US As Far As Their Economic and Societal Outcomes Are Concerned
In France, there are high rates of unemployment in comparison to the USA. Consequently, voters want to elect a socialist regime because they believe that it will stop the high inequality rates and the decline in job security that has been typical of the country since the 1970s. However, the case in the US is quite different: “Since 2008, the country has moved in a progressive economic direction for middle and low-income Americans. The Affordable Care Act of 2010 provides for a significant improvement in the medical and financial security for a large number of Americans, especially for the bottom half of the income distribution (Schneirov and Fernandez 269).”

Dietetic Internships
There are various dietic internships that are offered in different colleges and universities. Listed in the following paper are some of the most common amongst the many Dietetic Internships (DI). In the list, after each program’s address is the level of accreditation status that has been granted by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) as well as the date of the review of the next program. The primary accreditation statuses are as follows:
Candidacy for Accreditation—this program has not been previously accredited but has had one site visit and is presently being implemented as per the ACEND Accreditation Standards.
Accreditation Withdrawn—the program fails to comply with any of the Accreditation Standards or published policies found or accessed within a specified time frame.
Probationary Accreditation—the program fails to follow or comply with the Accreditation Standards or any other published policies.
To apply to a DI, people must complete at any rate a four-year certification and ACEND-authorize coursework prerequisites (Educational Program in Dietetics). At present, all Dis must give no less than 1200 hours of directed practice. This is generally finished in 8-24 months relying upon the accessibility of low maintenance calendar or necessity of graduate credit. People finishing the project who are checked by the system executive are qualified to compose the CDR enrollment examination for dietitians.
Arrangements to Dis are honored on a focused premise and most utilize a national machine matching methodology. Programs not partaking in computer matching acknowledge applications just from people used by the supporting association. Prospective candidates must contact program chiefs for current data, including application due dates. Projects will give application structures and definite data on project prerequisites, educational cost, and budgetary support upon solicitation.
