Geographic Expansion of Lyme Disease 2015 In August 2015, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published volume 21-8 of its journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIFD) on www.nc.cdc.gov. It contained a study by Dr. Kugeler, “an epidemiologist with the Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, Bacterial Diseases Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA.” (Dr. Kugeler, CDC, 2015) In this study titled, “Geographic Distribution and Expansion of…

“When Dolly the sheep was first cloned in 1997, a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll found that 87% of Americans said human cloning would be a bad thing for humanity, and 88% said that it would be morally wrong.”-GALLUP News. We have transferred from cloning plants, to animals, and now scientists are thinking of cloning humans. Think of this, if scientists managed to clone and create a baby, how…

failings. Pollitt builds her credibility and argument with numerous facts, but fails to garner much of an emotional appeal through her biased argument and biting tone. She begins her opening paragraph with a summary about the results of a recent Gallup poll on American’s belief in evolution. The results clearly categorize a near majority of American’s as believing in creationism or some form of it. However, according to Pollitt, this isn’t the worst part. The most shocking result of the survey…

Guns just can be the way to hurt others and even ourselves. In a 2013 Gallup poll, gun owners stated they own firearms for the following reasons: 60 percent is protection against crime. 36 percent is for hunting and 31 percent for recreation or target shooting. (Gallup) Can guns really protect us? The answer is not absolute. Consider a 1998 study in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery that found that “every time…

America or a rule by the Supreme Court of the United States of America declare that the death penalty is unconstitutional perhaps using the eight amendment’s cruel and unusual punishment although both scenarios are unlikely to happen. In different polls on the topic of capital punishment also known as the death penalty, majorities seem to have supported the use of death penalty although the gaps seem to have shrunken although it too is not expected to be a permanent one even with the unlikely…

promoting bullshit, which his recent tweets exemplify. According to numerous polls, most Americans don’t support Trump’s executive order seeking to temporarily ban immigration from 7 Middle Eastern countries. About this, Trump tweeted, “Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.” Two days later, Trump posted a picture of one poll that supports his claim. Still, Trump’s claim is bullshit because he…

Moving into the nineteenth century, the abolitionist movement surrounding the death penalty began to come into effect. Many reforms were seen in many states during the early 1800s, including giving the jury discretion in imposing the death penalty and limiting the types of crimes (down to two in New Hampshire and Ohio by 1815) that were eligible for the death penalty. This is time when juries began to utilize their own power through the controversial actions known as “jury nullification,” in…

The evolution of advertising has been a continuous process, today it seems ad’s are more focused on selling a company’s brand than its individual products. One aspect of advertisement that has not changed, however, is the fact Melissa Rubin eloquently presents in her response to a 1950’s Coca-Cola ad, that advertisements have an innate ability to reflect the values of that culture. This being the case, it is no surprise that in today’s America, where stories centered around the fight for…

In a Gallup poll, participants were asked the following: “Would you say relations between – whites and black – are very good, somewhat good, somewhat bad, or very bad?” (“Race” 1). In 2015, the results showed that 17 percent of participants view these relations as “very bad,” higher than any other year since 2001 (1). Interestingly, race relations between whites and blacks are perceived as worse than relations between whites and other minority groups, according to the same Gallup poll. This…

Chapter three, in the 5th edition of American Government: Your voice, your future, is about how public opinions, attitudes, and beliefs are established and used politically. Chapter three also touches on polling and its use in the political system, government power, and the differences between liberalism and conservatism. As stated in the text, Americans do not share the same concerns when it comes to how involved the government is in everyday living. Statistics offer a closer look at how…
