The government system is consequently very flawed. I want it to change, but I really never wanted to be involved in politics. I did not even really want to write about any of these topics. It is really hard learning all about these writing techniques at my age. I forgot so much and never went to college right after. I finally caught on to sentence structures my last year in high school in 1976. I did not even want to take a government class, but I am somewhat enjoying it. It has been an eye opener and a total challenge. Tarrant County College is not requiring students to take government for my degree anymore. I am one of the ones that had felt that my vote did not matter. I have felt this way almost all my adult life. I felt that most politicians are crooked and they have had the power for too long. How could one vote help? When I did vote it did not change anything. I did not vote for Obama and he still was nominated and elected anyway! The other reason I did not like voting is because I knew I would be in line for jury duty and I have no desire to fill that position either. It totally freaks me out. I really do not know why either. I have never liked talking about politics or listening to politics. Just like I do not care about sports on TV either. I feel the reason more people are not involved is because they do not believe in our politicians either and/or the system of voting. I have learned allot this semester in this government class. I believe I need to get more involved and try to lead others into getting more involved too. I really believe people just get so caught up in every day living and having the wrong thoughts about politics. Most people probably feel there really is not much they can do to ...

...ecause there is no money or power to get things accomplished or changed. The weaker political parties have trouble getting a foothold on the task so desperately needed.
Supporting public finance for campaigns might be a good idea. I think there will be people desperate for a change seeking a better way for campaigns to work. It has to be radical movement. The reforms that are to come about will help to iron out this problem. I will have to do some more research and be more involved with others before I could answer this one honestly.

growing problem is to make all public higher education free. Student goals of developing their minds and learning for the sake of being educated are being undermined by high costs of tuition. It is important for our nation to be educated, and a compromise is not hard to find to allow as many students as possible to reach their goals of higher education. In Robert Samuels article, “For Public Colleges, the Best Tuition is No Tuition,” his main goal is clearly stated; public college tuition should be free
John Edwards' Biography Many Americans recognize John Edwards as the second coming of Jimmy Carter; the soft-spoken Democratic Senator from the south. They know him as the running mate of John Kerry in his 2004 Presidential campaign. But before the North Carolina Senator entertained aspirations of President or Vice-President of the United States, John Edwards made a name for himself as a successful trial lawyer, a strong husband and father, and charismatic politician.

First Lady to the President for 8 years. Clinton has been a resident of New York State for only a few months previous to the time she began running for office. Clinton is challenged by her opponent because radio and television ads seem to turn the public against Clinton. This is an example of Lazio criticizing her because of his negatively directed ads towards Clinton. Because Clinton has never been involved in a legislature before, she has no voting record. This could prove to be a disadvantage for

like Amazon. The term crowdsourcing has been in our society for years to help situations and to also help products grow. Video game demo’s offers are a method of crowdsourcing, where a video game developer releases a demo version of the game to the public for testing.

The Green Party has been to make hope for more democratic, safer, cleaner world since 1984. Their American political goal decisions are made by the people and not by corporations. Their environment goals are where nature and human society is in harmony. The Green Party is the oldest, active Green organization in America. It was an organization that arose from the Green Ten Key Values which are now established by all the Greens in the United States. The Ten Key Values accurately accepted the point
The most powerful jurists in the country cannot do math. In March 2018, when the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments in Gill v. Whitford, a landmark case that would determine the future of partisan gerrymandering, its members were reluctant to consider statistical evidence seriously. A concept called the “efficiency gap” lies at the core of Gill v. Whitford: it is a simple fraction where the numerator is the difference between the two parties’ wasted votes and the denominator

Victor Emmanuel elected Mussolini, Prime Minister he could easily be blamed for fascism rising to power. However what has been shown in this essay is that fascism was already popular with the people of Italy. Various factors had pushed the Italian public into the hands of the fascists. The inflation and large scale unemployment turned people away from the weak government. However it was not just the economic instability that did this, the fear of communism also pushed people into the hands of
Poverty currently affects over half of the world population. It does not only have physical and mental effects on the body. It is “the state of having little to no money and few to no material possessions” (Canada Space Dictionary, 2014). There are several internal and external elements that are endorsed by personal, national and the global community to help eradicate poverty in the Third World. Some examples include our individual charitable donations, celebrity endorsements, government organizations
