Won The Election Electoral College
477 words
~Electoral College~ In the United States we are
all guaranteed one vote per person. Everyone has
an equal voice in electing the people that serve
in the government. Every four years during the
month of November citizens of America go to the
polls to vote for a president and vice-president
of the United States. Am I right? Not really. They
actually vote for electors that then vote for our
president. It makes me wonder, Are we a democracy?
Having the Electoral College defeats its purpose.

Electoral College System Electoral Votes

Many Americans take pride in the fact that the
United States has a democratic form of rule. They
believe they directly elect their officials to
represent them. This is no true in all cases. The
Presidency is not a directly elected office. Many

President. The Electoral College actually elects
the President. The Electoral College is a flawed

Hitler Reichstag Fire
1,436 words
The inevitability of anything can logically be
subverted by saying that people have free will. In
the case of Hitler and the reasons and
consequences of his getting in to power because of
the Weimar Constitution is simply not true because
the people of Germany also have free will which
means they can choose to either follow the
Constitution or not. No Constitution could work
unless people work with it, and within it. When
the economy was failing, the people looked for a
new solution. Hitler did ...

Article # 18 from the book: Japan and the Pacific
Rim The purpose of this article, from my vantage
point, is to show the changes that are taking
place in China, since new leader Jiang Zemin took
over for Deng Xiaoping. It is showing that the
political landscape in China is very different
than the days of Xiaoping. It seems to be an
article of praise, but it also tends to show the
problems in China. The author makes it very clear
that the new government is attempting to find a
way to make itself ...

Stoddard Came Back Optimistic And Pessimistic Liberty

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is both
optimistic and pessimistic. It is unsatisfactory
to call the film plain optimistic, which it was in
the middle of the movie, as the beginning but more
so the end was pessimistic. The middle of the film
was optimistic because it showed the joyous
personalities of the people and about ten minutes
from the end of Ransom Stoddard s flashback, film
reached it s climax when Liberty Valance was
killed. On the pessimistic side of the film

A sadistic temptress, the aid and probable prompt
of an evil and cold blooded killer. Or a political
prisoner being used as a scapegoat by politicians
and the media? This is a very sensitive subject
and people often respond with fear and anxiety
when we decide to examine things like the Moors
murders. We are told that our curiosity is
unhealthy, and that wanting to know, or openly
debate about a matter which is naturally closed,
can only be the desire of a sick mind. We are

affiliation comes from voting surveys and public

Ever since I have use of my memory, I do not like
politics and the voting process at all. It is
because politicians have turned politics and
voting into a moral quandary, since you do not
know if your vote is to support the improvement of
your country or just to put the destiny of the
nation into the hand of corrupt people. It is the
way political parties and their members try to
take control of the power of a nation that makes
me sick. Today, the race for a political seat is a
battle that has n...

always been involved with each other, with media
strongly setting the standard for what politics
are important. Our perspective of the real world
is based on the issues the media makes aware to
us. It is not known which influences more, but
there are definitely two sides to the story. Many
studies have been done to decide but each comes
out with different answers. I think that the media
has more of an impact on politics than does
