The race for the presidency in the year 2000 was very controversial. Now after watching the movie Recount it is obvious that George W. Bush illegitimately won the election. Firstly, older voters were confused on how to fill out the ballot, which ended up in a significant amount of dimpled chad that were not counted by the machines, therefore robbing thousands of people of their right to vote for the president they wished to be in office, not to mention that it may have costed Gore the presidency…

votes that chose the next president and vice president. Of those votes, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes, 270 or more. One of the most famous cases of how the Electoral College works with the 2000 election between Al Gore and George W Bush. Gore won the popularity votes by far, but in the end, Bush was elected president because his electoral votes won 271-266. It’s an interesting process. The electors are not required to vote for their states popular vote, so you who individually…

There are many factors seen as threats to the United States’ welfare and democracy. More specifically, the expansion of presidential power has implications that are a threat to our democracy. The United States’ democracy is seen as a form of government in which all citizens participate equally—either directly or, through elected representatives. The founding fathers also incorporated John Locke’s idea that the duty of the government is to protect the natural rights—life, liberty, and property—of…

next President of the United States may be. Politicians tend to lie about what they plan to do just, so they can attract voters and become elected. Hopefully some Americans have faith in the President for accomplishing their goals. For instance, George W. Bush and President Barack Obama in both their first term elections, claim that they would improve America with specific plans. Since Obama was elected after the two terms of Bush, one may compare their approaches for America. Some issues that…

The shows that were popular during an individual’s life affects him or her. The bands and musicians that were popular effected those who listen to these performers. What movies and television shows were being watched, or whether there were two parents in the home or not, all of these things have the power to change a person’s…

Being a War Veteran Participation in war changes a person, but participation in two wars extremely changes a person that only a few will fully understand. People who have never been there ask me what it was like. Did you get shot at or shoot anyone? Others will share stories about a sibling, cousin, friend, or someone they knew who went to fight in a war. Even though they know someone who fought in a war, they themselves don’t fully understand what I went through on a daily basis. Only your…

Analyse the ways composers represent political acts and the impacts they may have on individual lives or society more broadly. Political events, situations, ideals and acts can have a significant impact on individual lives and society more broadly. Composers who have been affected by their contextual political paradigm construct politically-motivated texts. W.H was a poet with a particular worldview, shaped by his interest in Marxism and psychology, which is evident in his poetry, particularly…

Abolishing the Electoral College: is it wise? Many people have no idea what the Electoral College is. Those that are informed tend to want it gone since it does not allow the people to have a single vote. It is definitely a weird system that the U.S. uses to elect a president. The Electoral College is like a secret organization in the sense that no one really understands is. The problems that this system have been apparent the more and more that the people can be informed. The internet has…

The Games of Slander in Presidential Elections The 2004 Presidential Elections in the United States was a clash between Senator John Kerry (Democrat) and the then President George W. Bush (Republican). Like all other competitive presidential elections, the campaigns saw the use of advertisements that attempted to sway the opinions of the voters. The main issues that drove the campaign were majorly foreign as they focused on the war in Iraq and terrorism especially fuelled by the then recent 9/11…
