We begin with Gabriel Trip’s, "Kasich Defiant as G.O.P. Presses Him to Quit Race to Thwart Trump." This article tells us of Republicans hopes for Kasich to drop out of the race and back Sen. Ted Cruz. It is believed by Republicans that Sen. Cruz has a better chance at beating Donald Trump in the presidential race than Kasich does. However, Kasich has refused to pull himself from the race stating “[…] he, not the Texas senator, was the best option to stop Mr. Trump.” (Paragraph 2) This argument…

I am sitting down to finish this paper on Saturday night. I had decided to not complete this paper and you ask “Because you ran out of time?” …“Or is out of sheer defiance?!? (McIntosh)” Honestly, neither of those reasons. I had sat down no less than five different times over the course of the last week to complete this paper. At first I assumed this would be the easiest paper that I had written all semester for American Ethnicity. I thought this was because not only did I enjoy the reading and…

tyranny within their country. The only logical explanation for these ideals is they believed that domestic strength came through long lasting bonds and numbers. It is quite interesting to see how the American Dream of security differentiates within the parties of The Worst Hard Time and Homeward Bound. On one side, Americans give their trust and support to the banks and their crops. It is these outside sources that they believe will be the answer to their dream of security and bring them wealth.…

of South Carolina presented the response. I thought that the response sounded detached and sort of cold. I would have liked to see less of a robotic sounding response. But other than that I think both speeches were appropriate to their respective parties. b. What is their impression of the state of the union? They response was that Obama spoke eloquent words but had no action to back up what we is saying. c. Accomplishments (who gets the credit)? The accomplishments are given to the…

William Jennings Bryan once said, “Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will soon be the majority.” So often being Americans, we catch ourselves pulling for the underdog or cheering with the minority in hopes to see the majority fall in embarrassment. Historically speaking an independent woman was frowned upon and in some cases, they still are and a black African American was not even considered to be politically capable of…

George W. Bush’s 2004 presidential campaign ad “Tested” employed ethos with his message “Steady Leadership in Times of Change” implying that he was stable and trustworthy during the disastrous events that took place under his administration ,such as September 11th an event that would go on to change how voters viewed foreign and domestic affairs for years to come; meanwhile, John Kerry’s campaign ad “Optimists” would have successfully captured the vote of American voters because of his pathos…

Born on March 15th, 1767, Andrew Jackson was never thought to be the leader of The United States, none the less have as much as a presidential legacy as he did.

His life got harder when the Revolutionary War happened, killing his parents and leaving him an orphan. Later on Jackson, with his brother, went on to fight with the American military. While there, he and his…

The 480 is fiction, but the science-fictional seeming technology that drove the plot was very real in 1964. Four years earlier, Kennedy’s presidential campaign hired Simulmatics Corporation to estimate the political effect of various campaign tactics Kennedy could pursue. Though Simulmatics would later dip its feet in many fields, it was incorporated in 1959 with the sole purpose of modeling voting behavior, and its work with the Kennedy campaign was its first contract. Their computer…

Misrepresentation of Muslim Americans in the media after 9/11 After the impact of the terrorist attack of September 11th, 2001 the media had brought derogative attention toward Muslim Americans. Misrepresentations based on stereotypes have been assigned to Muslims before and after this tragic event, as well. The media affects society’s point of view in general and often comes from a perspective that lacks a complete historical background of the topic that is being talked about. The process of…
