I will present my research findings on the Berlin Wall, political activism expressed through graffiti in 1961 compared to graffiti during the 2008 presidential election. This paper will cover a brief history of the Berlin Wall and its intended social and political purpose. I will show how expression through art can change political space and majority opinion. I will conclude that the use of activist art in public space greatly affected the outcome of specific political events. The Berlin Wall…

Jeremiads have been around for thousands of years. This rhetorical strategy is named after the prophet Jeremiah, who prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem because Israelites turned their backs on the Lord and were worshipping false idols. A jeremiad is a sermon, speech, visual text, or essay that unifies people by creating tension between an ideal social life and its manifestation (Aufses). A traditional jeremiad presents a spiritual or biblical ideal for specific behaviors. It then describes…

The State of the Union Address is where the President of the United States presents his plans for the next year in front of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. This year marked President Barack Obama’s eight and final State of the Union address. This State of the Union was very important for President Obama because it is a crucial year to set in stone his legacy. It is an election year, so how is President Obama going to end his second term as President of the United States? In his…

As demonstrated by the quote from Hirano, Snyder, Ansolabehere, and Hansen, the popular theory of activists controlling primaries suggests that activists not only force candidates to ideological extremes to win primary elections, but they also compel newly elected officeholders to remain more extreme than they normally would. This forces the party to risk losing the seat, because moderate candidates do better in general elections. Activists find primaries easier to take over than general…

This wonderful research that is going to be talked about is why does racism still occur today and why people can’t a change. Americans can tell you everything that is going wrong but don’t have enough people that want to construct change because they are afraid of what others would think of them. Racism is one of the ways that this society is broken up right now. If people don’t do what change, then why complain about it. Huck and Jim are the type that you would think nothing could change…

There are numerous similarities between warfare and elections. Both involved protracted struggles for power, strategizing, fundraising and research. Political campaigns in the U.S. even borrow several terms from warfare, further demonstrating their congruence. Campaigns strategize in “war rooms”, put their fundraised capital in their respective “war chests”, “mobilize” campaign members and confront their opponents in “battleground” states. The results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election…

“There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.” In her first speech since losing the 2016 Presidential Election, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton perfectly summarized the feelings of millions of Democrats, who, after volunteering countless hours for Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, were left in complete despair when they saw the results of the 2016 Election: Republicans controlled both…

In 2015 the Liberals engineered one of the greatest political comebacks of a generation going from thirty-four seats in parliament to a stunning one hundred and eight four, despite the fact they were trailing in third place when the campaign began (Andrew-Gee, 2015). A victory of this margin deserves to be analyzed if for the mere fact that the Liberal Party will use the victory as a mandate to enact their agenda. This paper will argue that the Liberal Party’s victory was the result of a adept…
