Green politics

Prior to this past April, politics had not ever peaked my interest. However, in April I turned 18, making me a legal voter in the United States. Naturally and subsequently, I made the decision to begin looking into the world of politics. With the television at my disposal, I began using it as a source of better understanding the type of political culture I am living in. Every country offers its unique set of values and part of those values is what makes up the political culture. The political…

given a free pass. The American people must condemn this unethical behavior from everyone, especially politicians who are meant to lead by example. A notable issue within politics is the abundance of plagiarism that politicians execute throughout their political careers. The habit of plagiarism has been an issue in U.S. politics since…

is bound to become a factor in the politics that govern it. Religion did not start to be integrated into public affairs until the mid 1980s. It was at this time that abortion and other personal issues began to emerge into the political spectrum. By incorporating aspects of the moral being into government decisions, coalitions were formed to unite for certain issues. Due to the increased combination of religion and partisanship, the ideologies of religious politics and political religion became…

I was fortunate enough to grow up in a household where political debate was part of my routine: dinner tables yielded fierce discussion daily and from the age of twelve I frequented Speakers’ Corner, speaking alone on two occasions. As my interest in advocacy and social justice evolved, I chose to exercise my democratic freedoms by joining the Labour party, and even won my own Head Boy election on a democratic mandate. Whilst debate and discussion simulated my imagination, I wanted to understand…

The title I chose for the paper reflects the main focus in the readings for this week. In this paper, I will critically evaluate the articles assigned for this week by noting their weak and powerful sides. In addition to separately critiquing the articles, I will also compare the interrelated articles with each other, such as Tavits’s (2005) and Robert and Wibbels’s (1999) articles. Tavits (2005) examines the effect of some factors on electoral volatility, such as national economic performance,…

personal philosophy that a hands-on learning experience will teach me more than in a classroom setting. I have been interested in politics since the age of six when I told my grandmother that my dream job was to be a United States Supreme Court Justice. I have worked at local, state, and federal level campaigns, and I enjoyed every minute that I worked for them. The reason politics interest me so much is because it allows for direct help to be given to millions of people such as the Civil Rights…

A political party is an organization of people which seeks to achieve goals common to its members through the acquisition and exercise of political power (Political Party). Political parties have four important functions, nominate candidates, gather voters, help governance, and watch the power of the opposing political party. Each party has to nominate and select candidates for political office. They also have to rally voters using advertising such as phone calls, brochures, and media campaigns.…

Politics can be defined as the activities in relation with governing an area or country, usually expressed in the form of a debate or conflict. Politics are used all over the world, from a High School debate, to Presidential elections. For years, the art of politics has seen a change in the game, deceit, scandal and false information is becoming more and more common within politics. False information within politics dates back to the 1800 presidential campaign between John Adams and Thomas…

The Populist Party was a major third party during the Gilded Age. The Populist Party had emerged from the Farmer's Alliance (Foster, "Gilded Age Politics"), therefore much of their platform was agrarian based. The two strongest issues on their platform were the nationalization of the railroad and a strong currency that could be regulated by the government (The Omaha Platform). Monopolies ran the railroads and monopolies define their prices. The Populist Party outraged by monopoly control began…

Lastly, the final theme of the theory is about candidates and legislators. Politicians or soon to be politicians see what certain groups want and what will lead to the success of their campaign. It is no coincidence that they tend to appeal to the public’s concerns and wishes as much as possible, if they show a lack of interest then the groups will disregard them as a candidate to vote for. Bishin writes, “In so doing, group members make it clear that they intend to be active and thus signal…
