Bernie Sanders was known to have a good legislative record by thinking critically and being a hard worker, according to Robinson. However, many individuals believe that Sanders proposals might be excessive to go forward with.

Advocate Adolph Reed sees possibilities for Bernie Sanders policies, like basic economic demands (raising minimum wage), universal health care, offering free college to students and fighting for racial equality (Robinson …show more content…
I believe the way Colin Robinson wrote the article was extremely informational and organized. Bernie Sanders message is wanting to make things the way they should be; affordability for all and equality for every individual. Sanders believes the country should be together and not divided into two parts. He is a leader who fights for what he believes is truly right. His policies and what he campaigns are different from all the other candidates who are running against each other. Mr. Sanders grew up with a working-class, humble family. Unlike republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, Sanders worked his way to the top, but as well fought for individuals who were being discriminated against. Bernie Sanders has a great deal of political experience compared to someone like Donald
He identifies with the dominant group (white males), but he also identifies with the lower class. He “grew up in dirt poor farm country, in mining country, in black ghettos, in hispanic barriers, in third world nations” (Sanders), due to that he was in denial of his white privilege. Wording right here,“I was baffled when the women at the college accused me and my sex of having concerned the world’s pleasure” (Sanders), It was hard for him to come to the realization that regardless of him identifying with the low class he still profited from white privilege. To him it felt like he did not benefit from privilege because he experienced the hardships that of minority and lower class people would go through. Sanders has the assumption that those who benefit from white privilege live happy and fulfilled lives. A lot of people tend to make that mistake. Privilege has nothing to do with how one feels. Privilege has to do with having access to certain things that another group of people cannot have do to lack of characteristic that the dominant group possesses. Just because your experience of white privilege does not always make you feel happy or wholesome does not mean you do not benefit from
Bernie Sanders, current candidate for the President of the United States, Democratic party affiliation, believes that all students deserve the opportunity to receive an affordable, quality education from the earliest stages of schooling to high-level degrees. He has sponsored bills to make public colleges and universities tuition-free, as well as to drastically reduce interest rates on student loan debt.
Bernie Sanders is running for President of the United States of America as a democratic candidate. His competition for the primary elections is Hillary Clinton, a well-known politician with plenty of experience under her belt. Bernie is running as a non-traditional candidate, which is a main factor of why his campaign is extremely successful and popular with the American people. A recent political ad released by Sander’s campaign team called “Real Change” emphasizes his family values and dedication to the working class, fighting for the votes of the average American. The ad implies Bernie is the right man for the job due to his long history of experience and commitment to the issues he believes in. This political ad illustrates how Bernie
Using the rhetorical analysis method, Bernie Sanders and Martin Luther King used the three elements which are ethos, pathos, and logos in their speeches. To start off with Bernie Sanders, he successfully uses ethos to begin with his self as someone who is credible and should be listen to. He gives a history of his mom and dad going back down to his childhood and making it clear that he did not grow up rich or had lots of freedom, instead
One of the hot topics of debate going on in the U.S. today that presidential candidates are talking about is college tuition. Some have revealed their proposals to American citizens on how they would tackle the issue of tuition. The question is which one of the many proposals will work and limit the amount of people who don’t go to college and give them a reason to go. The tuition issue is not a case by case problem, but a national problem. While there are some who have the opportunity to attend college others are not as fortunate. But everyone can have a part in shaping the future for many generations to come. The objective is to find a way to make what some would call “college free”to everyone. How were we able to find a way to make public

As Bernie Sanders, a presidential candidate for the 2016 presidential elections, claims he can make college free, the subject of tuition for secondary schooling has become a “hot” topic. The New York Times, on January 20th, released a “Room for Debate” titled “Should College be Free?” where many journalists such as Andrew P. Kelly and Sara Goldrick-Rab voiced their opinions on college tuition. “Just one-third of students from the bottom income quartile, who started at a community college in 2003 finished with a degree or certificate by 2009,” wrote Kelly, showing that the poorer find it hard to finish college with a degree. He believed that indigent students would likely not graduate with a degree due to college cost and because they are not motivated enough to get through six years of college. Although it is unpractical to create an educational system where college is absolutely free, creating organizations dedicated to encouraging the needy to get through
The Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson (with the help of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, as well as many others), was signed on July 1st, 1776 in Philadelphia. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence to appeal to the British Parliament and King and explain why the American Colonies wanted independence from England. Thomas Jefferson and the other delegates from the Second Continental Congress agreed that, “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator certain unalienable rights” (p. 112) which became the base for nearly all of the points made in the document. Logical and emotional statements were used throughout the document to make impactful statements that would convince the audience of the seriousness of the matters they were presenting.
Between the period of 1820-1861 there was a number of political compromises done in order reduce the sectional tension between the North and the South. While each of the compromises created helped the issue that the country was facing at that time, they did not help overall. The compromises were only a temporary fix for the country’s problem of sectionalism. Therefore while political compromises were effective in reducing the tension between the North and the South it did not help in preventing the civil war.

Revolution is a topic at the heart of the Socialist and Marxist Ideology. The processes that bring about the insurrection vary, but for Marx and Engels, the only viable coup d’état is a violent one, that will enable a transition to the best society and human life. In Marxism, revolution is inevitable because of precedents set by developmental historicism and then inequality rampant in society. These negative and traditional attributes give rise to class-consciousness in a manner that promotes the inexorable path of society from capitalism to socialism.
