    Young generations are going to be affected by how they see American democracy. Despite the government inciting wariness of freedom, I also believe financial and material concern do play a role in this, however. People are more wary of an unregulated plutocracy that’s geared towards enriching the elites and not improving life for everyone. According to U.S. Census data, “over one-third of Americans under age 35 owned homes as of mid-2016, down 12% from…

    Before the constitution was drafted in 1787, there were no definite political parties in the United States, however people knew their views and noticed how they differed from other peoples. However, these views weren’t very tightly held and weren’t as important to people as much as they are closely valued today. However, there are two major political parties in the United States today. These are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, formerly known as the GOP, or Grand Ole Party. However, before these party names came to be, and around 1790, most of the people in the United States either considered themselves to be Anti-Federalists, who are essentially modern-day Democrats, or Federalists, who are modern-day Republicans.…

    Doctor Russell Kirk, is a name that I never had heard of much less even understood his significance in American history and politics before I started at Emporia. While identifying as a Conservative for most of my life (Please forgive me, but my parents were “New Deal” Democrats and I was young at the time); I never understood the philosophy or the background of the Conservative movement. More importantly, I never connected faith and personal values into what it meant to be a Conservative. I grew up as a child of the 1960s cocooned in Middle America beliefs. I watched on TV of the national backlash towards many of the values that represented Middle America by what later would be deemed their cornerstone of the future Progressives of the…

    Sixty seven rounds fired in thirteen seconds killing four and wounding nine others at Kent State in Ohio drew the attention of the whole nation and brought the focus of millions of Americans to the antiwar movement. This event on May 4, 1970, when Ohio National Guard members fired at Kent State students, forever shocked and changed the nation and made the antiwar movement a headline in newspapers everywhere. No person in the population of the United States ever thought that our own soldiers would ever shoot other fellow American citizens, let alone kill four innocent people. This incident brought the antiwar movement to new heights and attracted more people into the movement than ever before. Although there were many parts to the evolution…

    When political scientists look at voting behavior and political beliefs, they often turn to people’s upbringings. When looking at this, one area often studies is the environment where people grew up. This means the city and state of a person’s upbringing. While many say that the most effective way to influence political beliefs is through those closest to a person, the geography of where they grew up cannot be ignored. States in America vote for presidents, not people directly and this provides an avenue of people to see how those around them feel and in turn how they should feel about politics.…

    The progressive era in America was a time for moving forward and updating time worn ways. Starting in 1890, the progressive era spanned 30 years and ended in 1920. The progressive era was supported mostly by middle and upper class citizens because the reforms were not reared toward citizens whose main priority was trying to support their family, such as immigrants or the urban poor. The reformers were more aimed to fixing the issues in the government. Issues such as corruption and bribery were very prominent before the progressive reforms.…

According to the Conservative Movement, Communism was seen as a threat to America and the rest of world, and conservatives saw liberal foreign policy on Communism as weak and wanted to change US’s foreign policy to be more aggressive.…

Although the Reagan Administration did not live to see the collapse of Soviet Communism, Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union.…
