Republicans supported most of FDR’s New Deal programs except the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the National Recovery Administration. The AAA basically gave the government the authority to dictate what farmers could grow or raise in order to balance supply and demand. By the end, the Supreme Court did away with it, but Roosevelt reinvented it and Congress passed it again in which it is still used today. The NRA controlled the prices and wages of the industry, but the Court ruled it…

There are three main points that stuck out to me from Dr. Sunser's presentation last week. The first point is the changing nature of the college presidency in the 21st century. The second point concerns his personal approach to the presidency, and the last is related to the issues arising from external accountability. It is these three points that I will focus on throughout this reflection. Dr. Sunser made clear in the beginning of his discussion that the traditional path to the presidency is…

against any republican challenger. Last year, Michael Bennet’s approval ratings dropped to an estimated 40 % or so. Many republicans point to the 2014 elections as a model for further success in Colorado. During that election year, the incumbent democratic senator Mark Udall was also polling extremely low. As a result, it was easy for a relatively new handsome republican challenger named Cory Gardner to oust him. From the very beginning he was very charismatic and as a result, republican…

away and will be here forever. Politics and school clubs are examples of groups and cliques. Soon the Presidential election will be held and we will have a new president. If it wasn’t for groups and cliques, we probably wouldn’t have republican, democratic, or independent parties. These groups have been at battles for years. People support this idea of groups and cliques. At times I understand that people chose a side but, when these parties battle there is no reason for it. The only reason we…

You can’t look at America as a single person or body, it is a heterogeneous mixture of people, ethnicities, wealth, and backgrounds. There isn’t a blue America, and there isn’t a red America, there’s so many different pockets and groups that can influence demographics and elections. So really no one is living in the same country as anyone else, everyone has different lives and experiences that influence their decisions. People who voted for Hillary Clinton saw the world much differently than…

Framing Theory in Current American Presidential Elections Americans will elect the new President on November 8. The importance of this event is reflected in online news: Most sources discuss disputes between main candidates Hillary Clinton (Democrats) and Donald Trump (Republicans). This attitude conforms to the framing theory. It also corresponds to the agenda-setting theory, but the first one is more general and reflects the situation deeper The framing theory focuses “on the essence of the…

Ever since President Donald Trump took his stance on immigration during his campaign, Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos has converted himself from being a journalist into an activist. There is no doubt that all Americans can clearly see what Ramos stands for and what are his feeling towards the president. As a journalist, one of the requirements for the job is to be unbiased and objective. The public who consumes your work should not know what are your feelings towards certain issues and your…

I believe society has changed in many ways some changes have been good some have been bad. The changes i would like to talk about have affected people all around this country. we've seen people have arguments over things that shouldn't be argued about we've seen groups turn on each other over what they think is right and we're seeing possibly the worst election year ever. But we've seen new fascinating technology being developed like rovers that NASA says may be able to land on a comet. But…

WHAT IS ‘COMMON GROUND’ WHEN THE GROUND HAS SHIFTED? Recently, the College announced a news speaker’s series underpinned by the concept of “Common Ground” featuring in this instance, a Republican (Karl Rove) and Democratic (David Axelrod) strategist. The Hamilton News site and later the Spectator prominently advertised the initiative. President David Wippman stated that the “goal for Common Ground is for the speakers, one a Democrat, the other a Republican, to model the kind of respectful…
