What do you think the legacy of the Obama administration will be with regards to federalism and intergovernmental relations?

For this chapter’s discussion, it again comes in two sections. For the first part of the discussion, briefly describe the models of Federalism, systems of authority, and the “Iron Triangle”.Next, consider the description of the expansion (or contraction) of federalism under our last few presidents – Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II. The text leaves off with what it presumes to be the legacy of George W. Bush with regards to intergovernmental relations. Since this text was constructed, the United States had eightyears of the Obama administration and four years of the Trump administration. We also saw a significant amount of friction between the federal and state levels of government over the last several months, with significant pressure from some federal authorities to alter or overturn election certifications in states, and several states attempting to thwart the vote certification of other states.What do you think the legacy of theObama administration will be with regards to federalism and intergovernmental relations? What models of authority or federalism will the Obama administration be known for? Finally,what do you predictPresident Trump’s effect on federalism will be now that his term of office has concluded (with today, perhaps fittingly, being Inauguration Day)? Provide an example or two to support your answer.

Write a discussion on the readings assigned for the week (I will attach the file). For the last paragraph focus on the changing dynamics of the digital age. What are the changing behaviors in society due to changing technologies? How do you feel about these changes? How is computer-mediated communication different? ( Sherry Turkle: Connected, but alone? | TED Talk ) Sherry Turkle: Connected, but alone? | TED Talk – Link for videohis week’s topic is Changing Technologies, Cultures, and Societies in an Age of Digital Media.This is a great topic, specifically because of the very extraordinary and challenging times we have all faced over the last two years due to COVID-19. We have all experienced this new era, which has drastically changed our daily activities. This includes the way we communicate as well as the way we have been using digital media, such as the news, social media, video conferencing, and talking more frequently as opposed to messaging. This period, for many, has been difficult on so many different levels, and yet for some, it has been a great time of reflection and reconnection period with family and friends. Who knows exactly how long this new norm will last but what we do know is that it has forced us to re-examine the way in which we communicate, shop, and conduct business, to name a few.I look forward to reading about how the changing behaviors in our society as well as how they relate to changing technologies. I am also looking forward to reading about how you plan on incorporating current trends and events that have recently set the new tone.
