In the 1800s things were very different from how they are today. In my opinion, voting is a very important and a powerful thing to do in order to control government. In the state of Texas most of the population can be considered Individualistic. Meaning the belief of limiting government or less government assistance. So how was a powerful duty such as voting restricted in the past? Who was prevented from voting and why? What reforms ended these restrictions? Voting was restricted in the…

reform to this issue. As students, we must abide by the rules imposed by the school which is why compromise may be necessary. The school has guidelines that we should not simply invalidate without consensus from the administration because both their opinion and ours…

Public Opinion in Healthcare Several sources such as media including social media, and news media can have an impact on health policy.
