...Lily Nguyen 1st 3/5/18 President Donald Trump won the 2016 elections with many factors. This includes the use of media and how it is important during times of elections and voting. Also the use of campaign techniques. There are also minor factors that helped contribute, like how he is a celebrity. All of these important factors has helped him win the election. One of the main reasons why Trump won was because of his popularity and the fact that he is a celebrity. Also, in 2003, he hosted his own show called The Apprentice. According to How Trump won the election : volatility and a common touch, it said, “For a decade millions of viewers were fed the idea of Trump as a successful businessman, a boss with the power to say: “You’re fired!” The Media had made him the way he is today. His opponent also contributes to why he won the election. Hillary’s unpopularity ratings has surpassed his own because she is the wife of a former candidate.

...How did President Trump win? Was the campaign rigged? Did he pay his voters? Or did he just let it roll out? I, as an intelligent, scholared male will tell you how it all happened to be. First order of business.Did Trump win because his name came first in key states? In Today’s Magazine it says that,”One of the world’s leading political scientists believes Donald Trump most likely won the US presidential election for a very simple reason, writes Hannah Sander - his name came first on the ballot in some critical swing states.” That statement said it all. With some minor tweaking, we could’ve made Hillary win. By a simple switch of names with Trump on bottom and Clinton on top, I bet H.C. could’ve won. It’s just a state of mind… If you’re having a grumpy day, and that day is somehow the day of going to your local voting lot, you wouldn’t care. So with your slumpy, non agriving self, you’ll want to hurry up with your poll and scurry on home. Boom! Clinton just lost because of some non caring people, not caring....

...Netherlands after Adolf Hitler and his National-Socialist party came to power in 1933. This house is where they hid when the Nazi’s came to the Netherlands and anti-jewish measures were introduced. The Anne Frank House tells the story of Anne and her families lives and the ultimate destruction caused by Hitler and his extreme right-wing ideas. Upon exiting the museum, I passed the visitors book, where I wrote five words: “Donald Trump should come here.” The Oxford Dictionary defines the word 'trump' as an admirable or helpful person. Does that sound like a suitable word to be associated with such a right-wing extremist? Someone who uses racism to rise to power? Someone who proposes mass-deportation in order to make America great again? Someone who blames a specific group of people for all of his countries problems? Someone who has had no leadership or civics experience at all and is now running for President of the United States - one of the most influential positions of leadership in the world? No. I think a more suitable title for a man such as Donald Trump, should be Mein Trumpf. It is...

...the mass media in their selection of news article and how they are covered. An example of a widely used media bias is that liberal news outlets defend the concept of global warming, whereas other sources say that the earth is actually cooling. Bias is used to shape their audiences view on an article through the use of vocabulary, visuals, and emphasizing on the positives or negatives of topic/people of the article. Media bias is widely used in during presidential elections to help candidates gain a majority vote to help them win the election. In the 2016 elections campaigns, media bias is used towards every single candidate and can be seen when article on the same...

...Donald Trump will protect this country and whoever threatens this country will have to pay a consequence. He will send armed forces in that country.

The debate on these two-unique systems have been brought to light due to the recent 2016 Presidential Election between the Presidential Candidates, Senator Hilary Clinton(D) and Donald Trump(R), when Donald Trump(R) won the 2016 Presidential Election by winning the Electoral College vote, even though he lost the popular vote. The purpose of this essay is to explain both voting systems and explain both in the best and most detail possible, as well as my personal opinion on the two, and if the current...

...Brian Strope Mr. McGinnis WRTC 103 11 February 2016 Robinson’s Thesis Eugene Robinson’s article titled “Don’t Count on Trump Losing in November” is a very well written piece on the character that is Donald Trump and the spectacle that is his campaign. In his article, Robinson explains why the Democratic Party should take Donald Trump seriously in his bid for president and not think of him as an easily defeated opponent. Robinson goes on to explain why Trump is having such success and what makes him appealing to voters. Robinson’s thesis statement is that the democrats should take Trump seriously and realize that a lot of Americans are supporting him because they are fed up with how our political system is currently formatted. That strong and passionate following can take him far in this election, maybe farther than the Democrats think. In Robinson’s article “Don’t Count on Trump Losing in November”, he defends his thesis very well by offering support and explanations of Trump’s success. It is also clear that this article is not an informative one, but a persuasive one. This article was a great example of a persuasive piece. Robinson is not trying to get us to either vote for nor against Trump, but rather warn us against taking him lightly. He lists some of Trump’s campaign promises and explains, “Many are inconsistent with traditional American values…” He goes on to say that, because of his stern nature and tough love approach, he “strikes a cord” with many lower class...

...Social media is a threat to American democracy because it has an influence on everyone’s opinions in multiple situations. People’s lives revolve around social media these days and it’s where they end up getting their news, information, and it’s also the way people contact each other. You can be thousands of miles away and be able to communicate through multiple sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, ect. One main way it influences our society is it’s how the political parties campaign. Sure they also go to travel to different states to speak in front of people, and they put it on television. But they also record it and put it on sites like Youtube, and Facebook so others can see it. Now a days people are so content with how they spend their...

...it all together. While writing this essay on racism I found myself re questioning myself countless times as I did not wish to either contradict myself or come off as “strong left wing liberal” as some of the kids from our composition class would say. Throughout this essay I was doing countless research from the documentary on racism that we viewed in class to statistics regarding racism in the court system. I find that research in essay allows for us to gain knowledge in order to support our own ideas in the paper and to better grasp the realism of the pigeonholes that are present in our society today. The most valuable piece of evidence in my essay would be the interview I had with one of my former professors from high school who was a law teacher and was my mock trial coach. We read some Iowa court cases that were deemed to be racist primarily from the early fifties and late sixties when prejugdism and racism were much alive and well in the...

...Republican Debate 1/13/2016 was held at the North Charleston Coliseum in North Charleston, South Carolina and was aired on Fox Business Network at 9:00 pm. Niel Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo narrated the debate of: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Chris Cristie, Geb Bush, John Kasich. During the debate John Kaisch spoke fluently and used natural hand motions that showed that he was passionate about what he was talking about. Chris Christie used little hand motions but he made constant emotional contact with the audience by referencing the safety of our homes, families, and kids. Jeb Bush kept stuttering which showed he was nervous. He also spoke in a fake pressuring tone which was distracting to me and made it obvious he was trying too hard. Marco Rubio did not smile when the audience applauded and he didn’t wait that long to continue talking which I liked because it showed he knew what he wanted to say; however, he talked too fast which was distracting. Ben Carson’s opening was unprofessional. Donald Trump’s hand motions are excessive, obnoxious, and awkward. Democratic Debate on 1/17/16 was held at the Galillard Center in Charleston, South Carolina and was aired by NBC News at 8 pm. Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd narrate the debate of Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley. Hilary Clinton had a very strong opening. O’Malley had awkward eye contact with the audience; it was obvious when he was reading his speech. At the end of his opening he says...

...Nearly forty-three percent of eligible voters did not submit a ballot in the 2016 presidential election according to the U.S. Elections Project, which was conducted by Dr. Michael P. McDonald, a political scientist at the University of Florida. These eligible voters outnumbered those who casted a vote for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Among those who did vote, the age group that had the lowest participation rate ranged from 18 to 29 years old. This lack of participation of young Americans place a strain on issues that affect the young population, such as allowing officials to ignore concerns involving student debt and funding for higher education. Young Americans have the power to voice their political, social, and economic opinions to make a difference, but they ignore the opportunity to act during election day due to two misconceptions: their vote does not matter and the election does not concern them. Today, I am going to explain how every vote matters, express the importance of voting, and...

...When the year 1828 came around, the way that America elected a president changed. The common man was now allowed to vote as a result of the 1821 act. The people used that new freedom to pick whoever they could relate to the best, which in the election of 1828, was Andrew Jackson. Overall the people chose Andrew Jackson to be their president because he was more relatable even though John Quincy Adams was probably a better option. The upbringing of Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams were very different, which in turn effected the rest of their live including the election of 1828. Jackson was raised to a poor father and mother who were immigrants from Ireland. Because of this childhood, he was forced to start his first job in the military working his way up the chain of power, and because of this hard physical labor, he was strong and handsome. He did not have much schooling because of his poverty but the little that he did have was in a local elementary school and soon after that he read in law and passed the American Bar Association to...
