Republican Ronald Wilson Reagan stepped into office as the 40th president of the United States of America on January 20, 1981. At age 69 he began his two-term journey as one of the most charismatic presidents in history.

He was strong in his Conservative…

What a shame that, in a country founded on and by democracy, such an undemocratic practice as gerrymandering is allowed to work almost unchecked in politics! How is it that America prides herself on giving an equal voice to each of her citizens, yet she allows politicians to create grotesque new voting districts in order to favor their party? Although the practice of gerrymandering has been used by politicians almost since the foundation of the country, it is rarely brought to the attention of…

American people on government do dictate the flow of the country. The 1960’s initiated with a young President in John F. Kennedy and the rhetoric of the American people placed the government as a burden on the people. It was not until the Presidency of Ronald Reagan that the talk suddenly switched to a government that would lend a helping hand to the American families. This change of rhetoric can be attributed to the failures in the social, economic, and political spectrum that led to the lost…

When Ronald Reagan was appointed President, propaganda through film was used in order to shape public opinion in favor of Reagan. Films of the 1980s seemed to all have one reoccurring theme, conflicts against the Soviet Union. In the mid-1980s, as tensions between the U.S and USSR was reaching an all-time high, a sense of fear started to grow amongst Americans. Films of this decade not only aided the morale of people but also were strong factors in shaping general belief. The film…

form of democracy causes some uncomfortable truths that Americans shockingly don’t like to hear, and with these truths comes some sort of way to distort the truth (Bachevich, 97). One man who appeared to be great at altering the truth was President Ronald Reagan. Bachevich explains that the culture climate is hard to measure, however, there is no doubt that attitudes on war went through a tremendous change during the Reagan era, especially in Hollywood ( Bachevich, 111). After the Vietnam War…

Autocorrelation is not expected to be an issue with the model, given that the it is not using time series data, and it can therefore be assumed that there is no autocorrelation present in the model. To make sure that there is no perfect collinearity present in the model, it is recommended to run a collinearity test of the model (see: Exhibit 1.1). If a variable generate a VIF (Variance Inflation Factors) value above 10.0, the model might have a collinearity problem and attempts to correct the…

fraud and inaccuracy. As always, candidates deploy their wining strategy to convince voters that they have the best leadership skills to represent them. For instance, Trump has advocated and utilized "Make America Great Again" a past slogan, used by Ronald Reagan, to win a particular group, and as he once said "the silent group." On the other hand, "Fighting for us" is the message Hillary Clinton has…

As our 40th president, Reagan was someone to look up to. Conservatisms began to take hold and republicans began to be the majority in the government. Many people had renewed hope in President Reagan and his policies he promised to enact during his campaign for presidency in 1980. President Reagan was known for many things including the way he stood up against the Iranian/American hostage crisis under the Carter administration and most importantly his economic policy. The President’s economic…
