Bernardo's Voter Analysis

Decent Essays
Here, the facts likely mirror Bernardo since Gaius published his voter commentary on the internet, where anyone with a connection could access the website. It could be argued; however, that Gaius published his voter commentary on his UCSF adjunct professor page because he intended to specifically reach out to his students, like how Nike and LSAC tailored their “speech” to their respective consumers. In rebuttal, Nike directly addressed its audience via letters to the coaches and consumers of their products and LSAC mailed the flagged test scores directly to schools requested by the applicant. Analogous to Bernardo, Gaius posted his voter commentary on his teacher website for anyone to read. The facts do not support whether or not the students in his class were actual or potential customers. He did not specifically instruct students to read the commentary nor did he directly email/mail his commentary to any particular person.

    The term democracy is often associated with the concept of freedom of choice of who represents us within parliament. Wag the Dog contradicts this idea by alluding to the fact that our choices, such as our voting preferences , are constantly being influenced by people of higher power.

    I, however, believe this to show Malcolm X’s sense of urgency toward the civil rights situation at hand. Countless times in this address he calls to his fellow African Americans to inform themselves to the “ballot” or political atmosphere of their community. In place of violence, Malcolm X believes “that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community”. He wants his fellow black citizens to better themselves and improve their communities using political knowledge, not aggression. This is the message he is trying to convey with his title.…

    Voter Suppression in the United States has been in an issue for a long time, but the majority of the people fail to recognize what could happen if these bills pass.
