Gender And Partisanship Analysis

Improved Essays
The survey was medium-sized in length and had questions that ranged from very general to specific. The survey was distributed to an entry-level government class at a medium-sized public university in Maryland. The students in the class then asked their family members and other friends to take the survey. The variables that I used in my analysis were the gender and partisanship questions on the survey. These two questions relate to the concepts that I have discussed above in my theory section because they have directly target the relationship between gender and partisanship. Specifically, I used the partisanship question by taking the seven possible answer results and finding out the percentage of each gender. As a result of my statistical

    Party polarization has a massive effect on voters, congress, and policymaking. Party polarization is the obvious division that exists between parties, specifically Democrats and Republicans, because of the extreme differences of the ideological beliefs of the opposing parties. Increasing party polarization causes many problems for the government. With party members determined to stand behind their own beliefs, it becomes difficult for the two parties to find common ground. The evident discord between Congress members then leads to polarization amongst voters and vice versa.…

    Divide and Conquer: Partisanship Government Partisanship polarization is not a new concept to American politics. The Founding Fathers were divided on the philosophies of federal government between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists. American politics saw a decline of partisan politics during the 1950s and 1960s, however there was a resurgence in the late 1970s that has yet to cease (Brewer, 2005, p. 219). While the political elite have been divided along partisan lines, the results of their division have extended to the American populace. The division of the American populace makes the governing by the political elite an easier task.…

    This could cause them to respond randomly and skew results. Another weakness in this poll was the sample of students that were surveyed. Although I was able to survey a graduate student, the rest of my respondents were undergraduates. The age difference could possibly affect the way the students responded. If I were to conduct this poll again, I would take the time to explain what the electoral college is and how it works, in an unbiased manner, to the students I was surveying so that they would be able to provide a more knowledgeable response.…

    Gender effect in the Sierra Leone War Through Ishmael Beah and Mariatu Kamara’s autobiographies, the world learned about the devastating war in Sierra Leone through the eyes of a boy and a girl. The civil war stripped children from their families and killed many innocent civilians. In A Long Way Gone by Beah Beah he says, “One of the main aims of the rebels was to force the civilians to stay with them, especially women and children” (Beah 37). The rebels used the civilians as either bait for the army or as servants. They took girls to cook or exploit and recruited boys as soldiers.…

    During the 18th century a group of like minded women began fighting for, even when faced by near impossible odds and fierce opposition, the right to vote. During the nearly century long battle between the sexes, many tactics were implemented to make the opposition realize that the right to vote should be given to men and women alike (with some exceptions at the time). These tactics, which lead to the end of the women’s suffrage movement, could aid in the current movement of environmental activists and their attempt to combat and mitigate losses to the natural world. As seen in the movie, “One Woman, One Vote”, politicians needed to be on your side, connectivity and numbers were required, and innovative public engagement campaigns were necessary to make the changes society needed. Perhaps, once these fundamentals are more rigorously put to action within the environmental movements agenda, progress towards a less impacted and more conserved earth will be accelerated.…

    Party Identification I am to believe that I am part of the Republican Party, as being raised in a republican based family. Just as I was, many other people are usually taught on their views based upon their parent’s views on political events. In the family I was raised in we didn’t really keep close eyes on politics and who we think should be the right person to do the job. They always just said that, “one vote can’t make much of a difference, especially when I don’t like who is running”.…

    Interestingly, analysis of voting patterns in the years following the extension of female suffrage indicates that women did not vote in demonstratively different ways from their male counterparts. Instead, female voting patterns were more significantly influenced by other factors, primarily socioeconomic standing. Even though Evita made a concerted effort to grow the female wing of the Perón party, evidence of voting patterns “refutes the common notion that the regime greatly benefitted from women’s suffrage.” Women did become part of Juan’s multi-class base and a majority of them did indeed vote for the Perónist ticket, but they voted much more along class lines, again indicated that Evita’s role in the women’s movement was to channel…
