    I find his mannerisms a bit odd as the country today is more divided than it was all during the Obama administration. I do agree with some points in Trump's speech, such as the quote "Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are just reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous public. " I agree that everyone has a right to safety and happiness, but I do not agree with Trump's proposition to put "America first", as many countries are in situations way worse than America is. Just because a problem isn't affecting you, doesn’t mean it's not a…

    Trump markets himself as a businessman and not a politician; in his campaign announcement speech Trumps keeps referring to himself as the “right guy,” the guy who is going to make America great again. Trumps wants to instill and, more importantly, bring out the skepticism in the public; he claims that America has been brought to near ruin because of the incompetence of America’s current leaders. He attacks and belittles politicians as seen in his speech when, after discussing America’s debt to China,”How stupid are our leaders? How stupid are these politicians to allow this to happen?”(Trump, Donald. “Our Country Needs a Truly Great Leader”Trump Tower, New York City.…

    Wendell Wilkie once said, “I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true”. By saying this, Wilkie described what makes America special, the “American Dream”. The American Dream is the set of ideals that have been instilled into our country since our founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. Although many claim that the American Dream is merely that, a dream, many people, from a family member to a celebrity known world wide, have fought their way to success in a way that can only be described as living the American Dream. The American Dream is the mindset that all Americans have the opportunity to create success through hard work, no matter their background.…

    He did however, have to answer to all of America while trying to prove his current occupation in the meantime. Much in the same way, Donald Trump puts his ability to lead and his fearlessness up front and center for all of America to see, he has geared his run towards specific groups of voters. When he was asked about Black Lives Matter, Donald responded “I know nothing about Black Lives Matter.” (Coleman) He admonished others for backing down about expressing one’s own views in the light of acknowledging the Black Lives Matter movement. On the television show O’Reilly, Trump continued his expressions of control and power by stating “They’re trouble, I think they’re looking for trouble.”…

    Marco Rubis, the senator of Florida, once said “The American dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn’t really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.” In some sense, Rubis’ words shed some light on the ideology concerning the American dream; people often perceive wealth and fame as the sole testament in acquiring the American dream, and due to these misconceptions, believe the death of the American dream. However, that is false.…

    The Iceman Analysis

    It was late spring or early summer, when a modest tree called the hop hornbeam unfurls bright yellow clusters of flowers in the steep valleys that run north into the mountains now known as the Italian Alps. The man hurried through a forest he knew well, wincing from the pain in his injured right hand and pausing occasionally to listen for sounds that he was being pursued. As he fled up the slope, the yellow pollen of the hornbeam blossoms fell like an invisible rain, salting the water and food he consumed when he stopped to rest. Five thousand years later, the Neolithic hunter we call the Iceman would still bear traces of this ancient dusting inside his body—a microscopic record of the time of year it was when he passed through this forest and into the nearby mountains, where fate would finally catch up with him. Since hikers discovered his mummified corpse in 1991 in a rocky hollow high in the Ötztal Alps on Italy's border with Austria, scientists have used ever more sophisticated tools and intellectual cunning to reconstruct the life and times of the Iceman (or "Ötzi"), the oldest intact member of the human family.…

(Barkoukis) He inspired Americans on his prolific campaign trail through the United States and motivated people to get out and vote.…

    Hip Hop Impact On Politics

    Hip-hop culture has the ability to effect the way people think about politics and how presidential candidates execute their campaigns. This power has been realized recently, especially by President Obama, but we have yet to truly see it reach its full potential. Hip-hop has been around since about the early 1970s, but never had it realized its potential to effect politics until the 2008 presidential election. The starting point of this realization was during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This was during a time that many young, especially African-American, people were already tired of President Bush in office and it showed in many hip-hop songs in those years.…
