According to Real Clear Politics, Dr. Stein has an average poll of 2.4. This average is much lower than the Liberal candidate Johnson, who is polling at an average of 7.1. This is 4.7 higher poll average than what Stein has. Dr. Stein does not even come close to Presidential candidates Clinton (43.9) and Trump (40.7). So from these polling rates, I don’t think she has a real change (RPC Poll Average,
In her article, “Lecture Me. Really”, Molly Worthen addresses the issue college students know all too well: how to lecture properly. Published in the New York Times, Worthen writes a passionate article about lecturing but from the perspective of a professor. Worthen presents the idea that lecturing, although some may think ineffective in the classroom, is a way to truly challenge and engage students into critically thinking. Worth dictates this idea with an excellent build up logical argument but lacks the proper evidence to support her claims creating a faulty argument.
On September 5, 1995 Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered a speech to the United Nations 4th World Conference during a Women Plenary Session, located in Beijing, China. Clinton spoke about how women around the world were not treated equally, how women rights should be equal to human rights, and the ghastly abuse and discrimination women faced around the world. The reason for the conference was to strengthen women, families, and societies in order to empower women to taking control of their lives and not be subject to such discrimination. She emphasized how education, health care, jobs, and political rights were not equal between genders and that the world needed to change. Clinton gave a very convincing speech because of her use of rhetorical techniques. The use of pathos, ethos, logos, and anaphora created a powerful, persuasive argument against the way women were treated around the world. Clintons main goal of this speech was to appeal to the audience and convince them that this is unequal treatment is an immense matter and needs to be addressed all over the world.
From a very early age, perhaps the age of six or seven, I realized that I enjoyed disputing things. As I grew older, I attempted to curb this tendency, since I thought it might negatively impact people’s views of me, but I never intended to stamp it out, as it was too integral to my nature.
I have noticed Dianne Feinstein is very generous. She is looking to keep the citizens she is accountable of safe, healthy and cultured. When California is in a time of need Feinstein donates money, starts charities, or makes a document or organization that can help out the people who cannot help themselves. Feinstein does not seem corrupt, I am sure there are instances where she does what is best for the people and not necessarily what the people want of her, but she does what she thinks is
Susan B. Anthony was an equal rights activist and one of the founders of feminism. She was fined $100 for voting illegally in the 1872 election. She was outraged by this, and traveled the country speaking on women’s suffrage and equal rights. Though women weren’t given the right to vote until 14 years following her death, she delivered a powerful speech, now known as “Women’s Right to Suffrage” to express her anger with the lack of rights in this country. She argues that “we that people” isn’t just inclusive to white men, and that both men and women should be given equal opportunity. Today, Ms. Anthony’s words still echo into the hearts and minds of fourth wave feminists, like myself, and inspire them to continue fighting against inequality

Civil disobedience is the refusal to follow or demand laws or rules. Taking a stand on issues of justice in society may be important or redundant to many individuals. In my case, taking a stand on issues of justice is important. Individuals take a stand on justice so they can change issues, speak for people who can’t speak for themselves, and fight for what they believe in.
Susan B. Anthony's speech on Women's Rights to Vote is effective but has some flaws regarding the imbalance of the rhetorical appeals. During her speech in paragraph one she says, “ [I] simply exercised my citizens rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens.” While using the logos appeal, Anthony describes a biased opinion considering her trial. Although she is using logic, her statement is biased and can be counteracted. During the speech, Anthony uses an immense amount of pathos, while skimping on logos. Using the pathos appeal in paragraph five Anthony states, “It is an odious aristocracy; a hateful oligarchy of sex”. Throughout this whole paragraph, there is clear pathos not including the other appeals. This decreases her credibility,
This article pertains to the contentious issue of illegal immigration. Following the election of President Donald Trump in the United States, amnesty policies and laws have become obsolete. Furthermore, President Trump has promised to enforce immigration law and deport illegal and criminal aliens from the United States. Canada has seen a huge influx of economic migrants who illegal enter Canada, many of these are crossing from Minnesota into Manitoba, their failure to cross from a port of entry constitutes an illegal border crossing.

A Sanctuary City is one which provides safe haven for illegal immigrants and protects them from

show that Bush would have won Florida either way if there was a recount. However later studies also showed that if the undervotes and overvotes were recounted, Gore would have won Florida but his legal team did not take any action. Sadly after 36 days of recount fighting for the Florida recount of votes, “Gore gave the presidency to Bush on December 13, 2000” (CNN Politics). However, Gore had great chances of reclaiming Florida especially if his legal team took action on the -16,000 votes and the fact that there were 360,000 votes that were not even counted but Gore did not want to fight and instead gave the presidency away.
"It's very dangerous when we have people in positions of leadership who use their power to try to quiet those who disagree with them” (Chasmar). Tulsi Gabbard, the Representative for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District and former Vice Chair of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), refers to the DNC’s actions earlier this year that favored Secretary Hillary Clinton in her primary campaign. Gabbard, a hero veteran, resigned from her position as vice chair of the DNC after witnessing injustice in the heart of the Democratic Party. The head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, held only six debates during the primary season, a small number compared to other election years when there were 15, or even 26, debates between candidates. Some commentators connect Wasserman’s position as the co-chair of
