This means as much as half of the American voters in the country do not care enough to decide which candidate should be the Chief…

These portrayals include depictions that suggest that immigrants spread infectious diseases, all refugee claims are falsified, and that terrorists may gain entry to western nations disguised as refugees. (Victoria Esses) This exacerbates political polarization, as The New York times finds that it is not clear if the dissenting countries will comply with any new policies accepting refugees.

The initial…
The polarization of the United States government did not stop and there seemed to be more times of protest than ever before, yet even through this unrest, there were occasional periods of calm throughout the country that shone through the overcast cloud of the…
The Stanford Prison Experiment was an experiment based on the roles of people, and how easily people will fall into those roles. The prisoners were stuck in the basement all day for 6 days, and both the guards and prisoners lost their morals and individuality.

that the color of a persons skin is what keeps them from reaching their dreams. She uses characters to create a social divide between the black community, as well as the black and white communities based on wealth. This idea is represented by the polarization of Beneatha’s two love interests: Joseph Asagai and George Murchison. As well as Beneatha’s older brother Walter, who is stuck in between the two love interests when it comes to which side of the spectrum that he is on because he is so…
