Political campaigns

Over the years, the United States of America has developed a reputation as a capable enforcer of justice, equality, and political freedom for nations that fall into turmoil and oppression. It has been willing, with sword in one hand and wallet in the other, to step across physical and political boundaries in order to establish stability in volatile regions whose conflicts have reached beyond self-preservation or self-liberation. These crusades have largely been carried out either in the name of…

policies on an everyday basis. Many laws help to keep the nurses and their patients safe. The nurses’ involvement with politics begins the moment they begin nursing school. The very curriculum that nurses must successfully accomplish is the result of a political process in order to implement a standard for minimum education to enter the workforce. Nurses learn about community health nursing and the importance of advocating for their patients. It may be overlooked that being politically active…

Peter Levchuck Media influences the general population’s insight to political issues through the press, broadcasts, and online posts. Whether fact based, like The Washington Post and The New York Times Online, or opinionated, like hotair.com, Google News, The Chicago Defender, carlyforpresident.com, and Twitter, media affects one’s approach to forming their own political views. During election seasons, media hold the power to determine a candidate’s success. In the 2016 Presidential Election,…

When Daniel Elazar published his work on state political culture Nevada was an Individualistic state, and still is today. A state that is considered Individualistic has the following characteristics: government is viewed as an extension of the marketplace, government provides people with services they want, but do not interfere with the people’s private lives, politics are ran like a business, and the politicians are well-paid business men and women (Smith and Greenblatt 14). Nevada is an…

Democratic support. One thing, however, remains constant throughout these times: presence of an external threat. The end of the Cold War brought about the age of low politics; no longer burdened by the external threat of the Soviet Union, the American political system could now afford to argue about every manner of domestic issue, regardless of how petty or parochial. As a result, the United States Congress is more sectarian than it was just a generation…

impacted the institutions and systems of the United States of America. Their power greatly contributed to America’s political culture and their influence can be seen in the beliefs of the people or the documents of the country. The massive reforms and radical ideologies under these men shaped American societies, allowing political advancement of parties and democratic ideals. Political, social, and economic changes and continuities occurred between the two presidencies. The changes include the…

Michel Foucault claimed, ‘Political theory has never ceased to be obsessed with the person of the sovereign’ (Foucault and Gordon, 1980). In saying this, he critiques Western political thought for the focus scholars have collectively held on sovereign power, or the ‘macro-level’ consisting of governmental figures and institutions in formal power over a nation-state. In The Politics of Truth he elaborates: It seems to me that there has been in the modern Western world … a certain way of thinking…

integrated into corporate marketing, they develop conflicts of interest…” (Ruskin & Schor 491); which “…They (corporations) became adept at manipulating the campaign finance system… to procure influence in governments at all levels” (Ruskin & Schor 487). With this in mind, it further confirms the collusion and inadequacy between the supposed vital political entity and its conglomerates. Coupled alongside this egregious act on society, cannot also help ponder their clandestine intentions in…

electoral campaigns across European countries, giving salience to the growing discontinuity between public opinion and policy (Lahav and Guiraudon: 2006). I propose a research project which combines theoretical and methodological approaches to research, integrating qualitative data to build a stronger understanding of why politicians break their promises on migration. The gap between rhetoric and reality in immigration policy have been explained through three theoretical lenses; political…

In the present political climate of fear, uncertainty, and division, the most important form of resistance is continued defiance and unwavering hope that things can be made better. Throughout history, in unstable times, one method of control by governing bodies has been instilling hopelessness and creating division. The age-old trope of building walls, both physically and ideologically, to maintain control through spreading hatred and distrust of differences and diversity. During this…
