United States Senate election in Illinois

This Ad was a Ted Cruz that aired in my home state of PA during the primaries. The Ad begins by claiming that President Obama was “A failure” and that Hillary Clinton is could be “worse”, It continues by introducing Ted Cruz as the right man for the job. Then come the campaign promises. Cruz claims that he will “Repeal Obamacare”, Grow jobs, and Destroy ISIS, then it transfers to the campaign slogan “jobs, freedom, security Ted Cruz”. The Cruz ad doesn’t take a shot at his Republican opponents…

disadvantaged to some extent. I am an eighteen-year-old Black, heterosexual, female. I am a Christian and a citizen of the United States of America who grew up in the middle class. I possess qualities that show both privilege and disadvantages in American society. During the third week of class, a comprehensive list was made of what it means to be privileged in the United States today. This list included things such as “not recognizing you are privileged”, “being the “The Default””, “being…

participation is reflected by a “What’s in it for me?” attitude. For example; in the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama, running for his second term, promised free cell phones, free welfare, and again…a fundamental change in America. After spending more than $1 billion in his campaign, he was able to clinch his re-election. This brings to question the legitimacy of his campaign (or election if you will). Did Obama actually bribe his way back into the oval office? Or, was it simple…

Loretta Sanchez’s stance on Gun Violence prevention is a vital issue to me for this election because there has been too much bloodshed over the past couple of years due to gun violence. Discrimination is one factor that has led to such tragic events. Even though guns are meant to be used in self defense under the 2nd Amendment, the use…

The road to the future is always saturated in a dense fog, refusing one the ability to see, for the most part, what is to come next. Art has been used for several centuries as a means to bring optimism and even pessimism to the individual about the nearby future through communicative messages about the here-and-now or the there-and-after. These messages help shape the form of a civilization, whether be restricted by a religious, traditional practice or by a series of laws—and quite often times,…

descriptions. This poem is packed with symbolism. There are three important uses of symbolism that make the poem. The first symbol is the captain, which is actually referring to President Lincoln. The next use of symbolism is the ship, that is the United States of America. Finally, the voyage, or trip, is a symbol for the war. Without the use of symbols this poem would not exist. Also, the symbols allow the author to write about this tragic event in a way that expresses what he feels, without…

The Tea Party’s main goal is to advocate awareness to any issue, which may challenge the security and jurisdiction of the United States of America. TEA is a backronym that stands for ‘Taxed Enough Already’. This movement is known for its modest positions and overall role in the Republican Party. One of their main goals is to bring awareness to the public in terms of not spending more money than what it takes in and live under the constitution. This particular movement advocates for reduced U.S.…

Barack Obama is known for his impeccable and invigorating way of speaking, whether it be to a small crowd or the United States in its entirety. He has a strong understanding of his audience and how to speak to them in a way that makes his message known and his notions preferable. Obama’s 2012 acceptance speech is full of rhetoric strategy and concepts that fall within the concepts of pathos, ethos, and logos. This is a speech that connects Barack Obama to his audience by use of emotion, with…

Bright, dramatic, and to the point, Meet the Press is meant to touch on important political happenings in a balanced perspective; it instead falls short. Meet the Press gives the idea it is offering a fair platform to the presidential candidates by inviting individuals to debate and discuss. Unfortunately the topics chosen were one sided and there was an extreme neglect to remotely include third party presidential candidates. Also the inclusion of Saturday Night Live’s skits before each…
