Proxy voting

In the expert from “Empire of Illusion” by Chris Hedges he states that “The most essential skill in political theater and consumer culture is artifice.” The author’s statement is correct because politicians want to try and convince as many people as they that they are the best for whichever role they are running for. This topic is interesting because Hedges is trying to give advice on what it takes to be successful in industries where the playing field is rough and not lots of people have…

Should there or should there not be a limit on the terms for presidency? This question has gone back and forth for a long time. Some arugue that it can give too much power to an individual, others say that the people have a right to choose who they want as a president even if it means there should be more terms. I for one, think that giving a person the right to more terms is the correct decision as long as the people agree on it. That being said just because a person gets more terms doesnt mean…

Voter Eligibility and Registration Voting, which could send a direct message to government about how citizens want to be governed, is at the heart of democracy. Among the thirty-one democracies, the U.S. has been experiencing a relatively low turnout in different levels of elections. The decrease in turnout, as discussed by many communication experts, could be in part attributed to voters’ apathy. Aside from voter attitudes, institutional barriers, such as difficulties of registering,…

“Why parties”? According to the American political scientist and author John Aldrich, parties are an endogenous institution. Although much recent literature has focused on the decline of parties, and on the resulting loss of a major historical vehicle for aggregating the interests of this diverse republic, parties have always been no more than a tool of the politicians, the ambitious office seekers, and the officeholders. They have maintained or abused the party system when doing so has…

system means that there is a minority, which means that not everyone will agree on the decisions, but as they are not enough sharing the same ideas there will always be a part that will be excluded. It is a waste for people who take their time in voting and in the end their vote won’t be even taking into consideration, which means that they will feel that their opinions is not good enough. Direct democracy is structurally conservative; this is not a process that can easily break the habits and…

capital can be referred as the features of social organization such as networks, norms, and social trust that facilitate coordination and cooperation for mutual benefit. Social capital can be measured by engagement in PTA attendance, association groups, voting, etc. Social capital is important because it can cause politics advertises to be conquered such as accomplishments made by the Freedom Riders. If citizens do not see the importance of their duties in the political community, then political…

registration form, receive a voter’s card then vote at the local voting poll. That might be problematic for some people, but everything went smoothly for me. In summation, despite some of the limitation college students are forced to deal with when it comes to voting, it all boils down to what interests you or not. Some people in older generations might make it a priority to vote while people of younger generations just don’t care about voting let alone politics to begin with; and vice versa.…

In numerous countries, as voter turnout rates have declined, so compulsory voting has become a mooted issue. Many commentators and politicians have begun advocating for mandatory electoral participation. It is vehemently agreed that elections should be mandated. This will be shown by looking how these electoral contest acts as a cornerstone to a free and fair society and the myriads of benefits that it brings with it. To begin with, a representative chosen by individuals will govern the nation…

Do actions speak louder than words? Benjamin Franklin once said “well done is better than well said.” I believe this corresponds with actions speak louder than words for the reason that all of us have the capacity to lie and moreover, only a few have the audacity to state the truth. Thus, creating a person’s action the only verification you can have. For example, I have recently watched many of the presidential debates, and as for now, they both state they will do all they can in their…

For the last 250 years, U.S. citizens have been given a controversial option of a jury or bench trial. Not everyone agrees with the bench trials. Although jury trials sound like a good idea, it is actually true that bench trials are better because it guarantees the right verdict almost all the time. Jury trials choose ordinary citizens off the street. For example, with the society today, people cannot stay off their phone, which makes them vulnerable to hearing or gathering false details about…
