Political party

What does a “reputation” mean? As defined by the Cambridge dictionary, reputation is “the opinion that people in general have about someone or something or how much respect and admiration someone or something receives based on past behavior and character.” Based on this explanation, we realize that each individual is responsible for shaping his own reputation, either purposely – similar to what many politicians do – or naturally by his actions, good ones or bad ones. But an established…

Basically, patron-client relationships are reciprocal. Patron-client is an unequal relationship when one group become more powerful rather than other group. This means that client is powerless and they were under control by patron. However, the concept of Political Clientelism and Political Patronage are…

The three main theories of interest groups such as, pluralism, hyper pluralism, and elitism are all very important components when talking about the effect they can have in implementing new policies or even changing some older policies we have as a nation. Each theory states what it believes to be the way the democracy is like or what should be like in a nation. Pluralism is the belief that the government power is distributed among many groups of people. These people would have coalitions with…

First of all, having only two major parties has separated the United States, so a third party could be created to maximize vocalized opinions. This third party would have different views, of course, but in the end, the tripartisan relationship could be one of checks and balances. Having one party control the government is highly dissatisfactory for many people, but it is nearly impossible to have our government be equally represented by both sides. If each party was checked by two others and…

George Will states how the election of 2004 “may be the most nation-shaping election since 1932” (Line 1-2) which was mainly due to differences in the parties’ foreign policy beliefs. This can lead the readers to believe that George Will will discuss the Republicans and Democrats contrasting beliefs on multilateralism, nation-building, preemptive war, and sovereignty. Those beliefs are vital to our country, some of most important building blocks to our government. Without having a balance in…

The module of “Origins of Life” contains conflict in the form of ideas, perceptions, and credibility. For example, in the world of science and religion, there has been this common notion that these two entities cannot support the ideas that each community holds.

In the…

Texas Right to Life Committee As we learned previously in this course, there are numerous interest groups active in Texas politics. In Texas, just like elsewhere in the country, interest groups serve to rally and bring attention to their cause and in the process, influence what government institutions do.
