The battle when I'm President On March 11, 2016 in Dubuque, Iowa the voting for president was taking place. Dubuque was the only place that was left to take the votes. Two people were trying to get others to vote for them. Dakota is my couisn. One of them was Dakota and the other one was me. Dakota was trying 19 and I was 13 but we were young enough to run for president of the U.S.A because the age to run for president was dropped to 13 and older. So far Dakota had the most votes. He had 100…

Over the years the America has vastly changed, once a nation they did everything in it’s power to insure that only wealthy white land owners could take place in the electoral process; now opens it’s election to any citizen eighteen years of age and older. Although elections tend to reflect the popular opinion the democratic primaries, it does not always reflect the popular opinion of the office holders of the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention. In 1868…

Conservative received pronunciation, upper-crust received pronunciation or simply U-RP is likely one of the most fascinating accents of English. According to Peter Trudgill's estimation in 1974 only 3% of British population were considered being true RP speakers. Received pronunciation is, in fact, a minority accent. Consequently, conservative RP, as its less used and more archaic variety, has even fewer speakers. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to outline the concept of a social…

Mondak’s and Halperin’s results indicated that agreeable individuals are likely to participate in local politics, but refrain from participating in matters pertaining to national elections (2008). It’s possible these results were found because national politics tend to be more rooted in disagreement than local politics. Another study, conducted in South Korea, found that agreeableness is negatively associated with voter turnout and…

- Abolition: Complete abolition of the second chamber. Legislatures in countries such as Norway, Sweden and New Zealand are unicameral and therefore only have one chamber. This option would not only save money but it would also enable scrutiny to be carried out in different ways for example through a strengthened committee system. However, not only do numerous people debate against the loss of a British political tradition, many also claim that the House of Commons would in fact gain too much…

of dollars, Draftkings and Fanduel are going on the offensive to win over lawmakers (“Draftkings, Fanduel”).

Barton Swaim’s The Washington Post online article, “Who’s to blame for fake news? America’s real newsrooms” posted on December 12, 2016, criticizes how people are naive when analyzing media. Swaim faces modern issues that affect journalism and speechwriters. As a journalist, being the first to get the story out, Swaim could not let misleading and inappropriate information get out to the public which is why his exigence is to inform the audience of what they are exposed to with the media.…

Republicans tend to argue that Obama is incompetent and does not understand the actions that he takes, Rubio has pushed the narrative that he can replicate Obama’s success—for the conservative cause as opposed to the liberals’ fight. It’s a general election argument: Obama is smart (which offends many voters less) and Rubio can achieve similar successes (making voters more likely to vote for him). It fell flat, of course, at the Republican debate, where all the other candidates came together to…

that wouldn't change anyone's mind. What opens people's minds are the type of conversations I had with a few people face to face conversations that show the person who you disagree with that you are human too and are fighting for something too. This election more Latinos voted for trump than Romney. Women voted for trump to, now everyone will see through the mainstream media's lies.…
