My position on this issue is the opposite, politicians doesn’t always have to be truthful. As a matter of fact, politicians lie because the people doesn’t want to hear the truth. If two candidates running against each other, the one who tells the public what they want to hear instead of the truth will win the election. The one who tells the truth will loses out. An example could be the 1988 presidential election. You might recall the famous lie, "Reeeaaad myyy llliiipsss, nnoooo neeewww…

In my opinion, there a lot of different aspects voters need to know about when voting for any seat, whether it be town council, mayor or President of the United States. There are hundreds of ideas and values that need to be addressed and in no way can they be addressed in one instance. Using these debates to inform the public about their views on popular issues such as abortion and torture is understandable, and I believe having multiple debates to discuss these matters are important. However,…

In the last presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Hillary mentioned that Donald Trump has not paid any federal taxes. Hillary wants Trump to release his tax returns and she mentions “ maybe he's not as rich as he says he is.” While Donald’s Trump son, Eric Trump says the total opposite he said that his dad has paid “tremendous amount of taxes.” There exists a report from the New York Times, it was published based on a 1995 state tax document that showed that Donald…

After election night, and everyday since, the United States of America has been in uncharted waters. With Trumps ascendancy to the highest office in the nation, progressives from coast to coast experienced a collective disorientation. Overnight we have transitioned from a nation passing landmark legislation such as the Affordable Care Act, to egregious court orders banning the passage of those who see America as a shining city on top of the hill. Now America, and the ideas of progressivism, are…

Born in 1941. Bernie Sanders started out his political career in the early 70’s but wouldn’t come to actually hold a political office until 1981 when he won mayoral race in Burlington, Vermont’s biggest city by a mere 10 votes. Bernie ran as an independent and winning the race was a big shock for many knocking off a six-term local mayor. I chose to do this paper on Bernie Sanders because, over the last 6 years I have become heavily interested in the political state of this country and world. The…

“Transcript of President Bush’s Speech Before a Joint Session of Congress, Sept. 20, 2001” was an address given by President George W. Bush nine days after the 9/11 terror attacks. President Bush began by addressing the widow of a fallen hero, and proceeded to thank America as a whole for all the donations, thoughts, and prayers. Bush then briefly commemorates both fallen Americans and other victims from countries around the world. The 9/11 terror attacks were the first attacks on American land…

In a 2014 study conducted by researcher Adrienne Hancock and student Benjamin Rubin of the George Washington University, it was noted that interruptions used significantly more when the conversation partner is a woman. The study combined 40 participants – 20 females and 20 males – and paired them up to record their gender-neutral discussions.…

Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump tend to use different speaking styles than each other. The general speaking styles and catch-phrases of each candidate are very different from one another. Donald Trump tends to interrupt a lot and also have an aggressive tone which can be very frustrating when he was speaking at the debates against Hilary. Hilary has a lower key tone and is very much patient when it comes to speaking to Donald Trump which is why she hardly interrupts in most of her debates. We…

Insurgencies have existed for decades and occur all around the world. It is an act of desperation in which the only option left is to turn to brutal violence, psychological warfare, and political mobilization. Iraq is one of the places in which insurgency has significantly changed its society, politics, and economy. Although acts of insurgency have occurred in Iraq through several centuries, the way the act was executed and the aftermath was notably distinct. No officials aspired to ensure…
