endeavor that requires a careful balance of research, critical thinking, and persuasive writing. The
difficulty lies in navigating the intricate landscape of political issues, selecting a compelling topic,
and presenting a well-structured argument that engages readers.

Firstly, the sheer breadth of political topics available for exploration can be overwhelming. From

establish whether or not the EU is in fact answerable to its citizens.
The 4 main institutions in the EU are; The EU parliament, the Council of Ministers, the
European council and the Commission.
The Commission is an independent body. Its powers are found in Article 17 on the
Treaty on the European Union. Each member state has 1 commissioner; this was a
consequence of the Lisbon Treaty.
The president of the commission allocates each commissioner with a portfolio that
oversees areas such as fisheries, environment, and trade. General Commissioners are
suggested by member states and elected by president elect from the Council and
parliament. Commission president is nominated by qualified majority vote of the
European council, and is then elected by the European Parliament by majority vote if this
candidate doesn t get the required amount of majority votes the council will propose
another within four weeks.

name from William Armstrong to Doodle because he believes Doodle is not strong
enough to have that name. He believes William Armstrong only sounds good only on a
tombstone, (595) so changing Doodle s name was the kindest thing he could have
done. Likewise, the narrator selfishly disobeys the doctor s list of don ts for Doodle
because he doesn t agree with Doodle s limitations. In fact, the narrator hauls Doodle
carelessly around cotton fields and whips him around corners on two wheels of the go
cart. As a result, the narrator decides to take the next step in teaching Doodle. As school
approaches, Doodle falls behind on learning to run, swim, and climb. Therefore, the
narrator decides to double his efforts and push Doodle even harder. I made him swim
until he turned blue and row until he couldn t lift an oar. Wherever we

Panopticon instead of exercising power from several sides emphasises the importance
and perfection of the surveillance focus from one place.
The Panopticon is a building which has an annual part in the periphery and a tower in the
centre. Next to omitting little details its most important feature is the ability to see into
every cells without being visible. The panoptic mechanism arranges spatial unities that
make it possible to see constantly and to recognize immediately. (Calhoun et al., 2007:
