As we grow up, we start learning that different creatures that we loved and feared, like Santa Claus or the monster that lived under our bed, don’t actually exist. However, the only thing they don’t really tell us is that the ones you fear the most are actually real. Ghost and Spirits are common topics among society. Some encounters can be pleasant, but most of them are so terrifying that they can be hard to believe for those who are skeptical. People may doubt the existence of ghosts and…

Imagine yourself standing in the student section of the annual Thatcher vs. Safford football game. Everyone around you is chanting in unison, “I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win!” You can feel the energy all around. Pumping through the stands, screaming through the people around you, even pulsing through the air above your head. Every student there is cheering until their lungs can’t take it any more, and not a single person cares if they won’t be able to even speak a word…

Question: Why is the voter turnout rate lower for citizens in the United States who fall within the lower income brackets as compared to citizens who report higher annual incomes? This question is important to research and investigate as the United States is a democratic society that firmly believes all votes are necessary to ensure all of our citizens are adequately represented by the country’s elected officials. If our country can better understand why people of lower economic backgrounds…

shocked to see that Trump’s score (1.5C) was so close to the center of the spectrum. I, and I would assume many other Americans, view Trump as a very extreme candidate. However, like Hacker says, there are only really polls for hot-button issues that the public is vested in, and that polls/surveys for minor issues that don’t have much public interest are often ignored. This idea could help explain Trump’s low conservative…

the production of pennies is arguably more far-reaching. A 2004 poll shows that, while a majority of Americans oppose the abolition of the penny, the reaction of most taking the poll seems relatively tepid. A significant percentage is unsure about abolishing the penny, regardless of income level. There is a relatively small decrease (8%) opposition to abolition from an income level of less than $25,000 to more than $75,000 (Harris Poll). Few Americans seem particularly impassioned about the…

there is no right or wrong. When it came to the election of Donald Trump, the spotlight was on Congress more than ever. Since President Trump’s presidency, his approval rating dropped to the all-time low of 35 percent according to a Marist College Poll. Seventy-five percent of Congress democrats side with Trump’s impeachment, but only 7% of republicans hold the same notion. Prominent republican senators such as John McCain, Rand Paul, and Chuck Grassley are for removing Trump from office,…

Legalize Amerijuana I’m blameworthy doing something “illegal” in eyes of the law, but accepted by so many Americans. The few times I smoked marijuana, I felt ashamed, guilty and rebellious. Why did I feel that way? Is it because the U.S government label the usage of marijuana “illegal” and I was breaking the law or is it because the stigma of marijuana not being socially accepted. In the Rolling Stone Magazine interview by Jann S. Wenner, President Barack Obama has discouraged the substance…

the whole state” (Reasons). If the one vote doesn’t make a difference in the overall election, then there’s no point in voting anyways. Another reason is that there will be no change. Since the older, rich, and white citizens are the majority of the polls, what they vote for would be what occurs. The views of voters and nonvoters are on separate poles. Based on the chart of American National Election Studies, between “white voters and nonwhite, nonvoters, there was a 42-point net gap” on…
