Is America Ready For An Outsider Analysis

Improved Essays
Elections have been a part of deciding the President in the United States since John Adams was elected President in 1796. Elections have become a routine process repeated every four years; where politicians debate their way into becoming are next President. But if you take a look at the current election cycle you would be a little confused. In the 2016 Presidential race there are three candidates that are not even politicians in the campaign. And on top of them being in the race they are all doing exceptional well, collectively having most of the people’s top vote. Therefore America is certain that the political outsiders are the best choice to run their country. Each political outsider brings something different to the table. There are three …show more content…
“TRUMP: Politicians are all talk, no action. FIORINA: Our founders never intended us to have a professional, political class… CARSON: I 'm not a politician. I don 't want to be a politician.” Susteren put these comments at the beginning of her report to stress how much these candidates do not want to relate to politicians. These statements are meant to evoke a sense of disgust with our current chain of command. It was Susteren’s plan to make us think in such a manner so we the readers could connect with them …show more content…
No, they would see the system and not know how or why it runs this way. They will do what they know best, fix it up. They would reform the government and their ways to make America the way the people want it.
They all want the same, to make America better. They all know that the government will not help us because they don’t want to. “Most of them have the sense that government works for a few and government has failed the American people as whole seems like America is losing ground in the world.” (Ingraham, Susteren 131-132) So they have all taken it into their own hand to try and step up and be what America need right now.
Government is a very complex system. Nobody truly understands government so everyone makes up their own opinions on how it is meant to be run. This has been the root of America’s problem. America has spent too much time dividing and fighting amongst themselves. And the politicians have been doing this their whole lives. They are too focused on their selves that they can no longer see past them and see the people; the people they claim to

    Citizens must trust their country, but a country does not have to trust its citizens. This double standard leads to anger and when people get angry, they protest. The United States does not need any more protestors more than those who are already protesting the election, which many believe was rigged for Donald Trump, thus showing a mistrust in the democratic system in America. The trust has been broken between America and its peoples. America has also managed to lose the trust of perhaps its only real friend in the middle east: Israel.…

    (IDEA) Jason Brennan is an assistant professor of ethics, economics at Georgetown University. He is also the author of The Ethics of Voting. Brennan says “ If we force everyone to vote, the electorate will become even more irrational and misinformed.” People who do not vote are not informed on what is going on. What is going to happen according to Brennan is the candidate that are not the best will have a new chance at winning. Quality over quantity most important is one of the major arguments, “ If we really want to help America, we shouldn’t force citizens to vote.…

    What does Zinn mean by “Under Control?” What I believe Zinn means by using the phrase “under control” is that the government had the opposite of over control. It is apparent the government lacked control in just about every aspect during this time. Meaning the system was out of control because there was a lack of control. The first indication that the government was loosing control during this time was found in the view of the United States citizens. People no longer had any trust in or showed any loyalty towards the government.…

    This makes the voters angry with the political system and can lead them to stop caring about the political process. The filibuster also brings less accountability to the voters. This takes place because representatives are not doing what their voters want them to do, as stated in the previous few sentences. All of this leads to no responsiveness from the government which interferes with all of the five democratic values. With this in mind, political science can help understand the filibuster with respect to the democratic values.…

    We will see companies afraid to address safety concerns because no one wants to be wrong. Along with the work place our political system is dependent on people saying what needs to be said, not only saying what won’t offend anyone. How will our political system work if our elected officials are too scared to speak their minds? Politics are all about arguing and if they wouldn’t our leaders would just roll over to whoever tells them to. We could lose the country if we had a whole generation of political leaders who are afraid to stand for what they believe in to a foreign power.…

    My response to the ending of the story was not a positive one. I did not like the way the events of Harrison Bergeron were resolved at all. After I finished reading the story, I realized that the United States government controls people in this universe in a way that makes it virtually impossible for people to rebel. They make it so that no one is coherent enough to even plan a rebellion, and even if someone was able to overcome their handicaps, the live executions of these rebels makes everyone afraid to follow in their footsteps. Harrison’s father George had difficulty thinking about things because of his handicaps.…

    This would lead to a huge clash in ideas as people in the U.S. would not accept being born into any class. Plato also wants to establish an oligarchy which Americans would see as ridiculous given our democratic history. Additionally, Plato’s system would not work or be accepted because he supports a perfect unity in which the government should use “a considerable dose of falsehood and deceit for the good of their subjects” (Plato, 10). The idea that people would be ok with the government, even in the small ruling class, purposely using deceit would cause fury in the masses. In addition, people would question the ability of a deceitful government to rule fairly which would lead to doubt of Plato’s system.…
