Argumentative Essay: The First Presidential Debate

Another four years another presidential debate. Before I go on to the current debates let me state a few facts about past ones. The Lincoln and Douglas debate was in important because it started Lincoln presidential career. The Debates lasted from August 21 -- October 15. There where seven of them, with two days to two weeks in between. Each debate lasted three hours; first candidate spoke for one hour; the second for one and a half hours; the first replying for a half hour. Candidates alternated going first. The topics involved where primarily slavery and the Union. Other important debates were the '48 and '57. They were the only debates before 1960; there were no presidential debates between 1960 and 1976. In

This film focuses on being a confident and decisive person in life, through passionate and informed topics. Public speaking is the process of speaking to a group of people in a structured, deliberate manner intended to inform, influence, or entertain the listeners.¹ After watching this film it does strike a cord of wanting to be able to reach out to others and share my own opinions in a strong, confident manner. To inspire others on something I may be passionate about in life, to share a different aspect of life that others have not lived. I can't say exactly how much this film has impacted my views on public speaking although the film itself

Conflict is inevitable in any personal relationship or among members of any group. While we encounter many types of conflict in our lifetime, we often look for ways to avoid conflict. So, why do we run away from dealing with our conflict? It is often because many of us fear the conflict will escalate into a situation we will not be able to sustain. “As conflicts escalate, they go through certain incremental transformations. Although these transformations occur separately on each side, they affect the conflict as a whole because they are usually mirrored by the other side. As a result of these transformations, the conflict is intensified in ways that are sometimes exceedingly difficult to undo” (Pruitt, and Kim 89). We

This world may never be 100% crime free and because of that, some people don’t let crime dictate whether they will move into a city or not, however. If a city had a dangerous gang roaming the streets day and night, opening businesses and driving other well off businesses out, would he or she still move to that city? If a city had 4 of 5 of the adolescents on probation, house arrest, or on an ankle monitor, would a person want to raise their child/children there? If yes was the answer to either of the questions then Coolidge, Arizona is the place to be. In the city of Coolidge, a person can literally work backward in life while watching the juveniles run amuck.

The Electoral College was created in created in 1787, though there has been lots of amendment done since then. It was created as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. I don’t agree with the opinion that Electoral College system should be changed, rather I believe that the Electoral College system should be amended and modified where the delegates should vote in according to what the majority of the population in the state and district to which they represent want, these would insure that presidential elections occur according to the democratic process, citizens should be well educated and informed when voting for representative for the

The Electoral College is a body of people (electors) who represent each state of the United State of America. They are the people who cast the votes for the election of the president and vice president. It was made because the founders of the constitution didn’t trust direct democracy. They were afraid. So the founders created the Electoral College as a middle ground in the debate over whether Congress or voters choose the president. It gives each state as many votes as it does members of Congress, which makes bigger state more appealing for the candidates to campaign there. The Electoral College is an unfair system that gives the power to vote for president to Congress.The Electoral College does not give the choice to the people.

The 15th and 19th amendments play a major role in the heated topic of enforcing states to ID a citizen before being able to vote. The 15th amendment allows any citizen to vote no matter what race, color or previous condition of servitude. Also, the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote. With these amendments, they empower every citizen with the right to vote no matter any situation they are in. Yet, some states require voters to show photo ID to vote, for the sole purpose of preventing voter fraud. Only opponents of such voter ID laws argue that such laws disable the poor, the minority, and the elderly because not all of these citizens cannot afford a photo ID.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are running for President of the United States with opposing views on how to run the country. Both candidates have a lot of problems that could affect their candidacy. The 2016 presidential election could be the most scandal-plagued match-up ever held. The Republican front-runner is at least as burdened with controversy as Clinton is, and while many of the Clinton cases involve suspicion and shadowy links, many of Trump’s accusations are fully documented in court cases and legal proceedings. The range of Trump’s controversies is truly remarkable, ranging from allegations of mafia ties to fraudulent business dealings, racial discrimination, and alleged marital rape. These allegations have not stopped Trump from

I really did not feel compelled to write this piece, but as days passed after the election I felt like Americans needed little light shed on the situation. Tuesday night was a very nail bitter situation as millions of Americans were anxiously waiting for results,but in the wee hours of the mornings as you already know Donald Trump was declared our President. Whether you support him or not, it happened and all we can do is move forward. It is understandable to be a little frustrated at first if your candidate lost, but what I saw on social media was complete HATRED from both parties. My heart began to ache after just a few seconds of reading several posts that were filled with the same wretched lies. Hillary supporters calling every republican racist and sexist, but then republicans calling democrats upset because we can't be baby killers anymore and getting our food stamps taken away.

Woodrow Wilson originally took a neutral stance in the First World War but as US foreign economic interest was jeopardized, America made the decision to enter the war. Although some were for the war movement, large segments of the population were unsure about the United States’ entry. Their doubt was justified when America came into the fighting woefully unprepared. They had a small number of troops and an even smaller number of bullets (Bailey). Due to the lack of men volunteering, the government established a draft which forced the men to fight. In the end, more than 100,000 men died fighting in the Great War. Back at the home front, opposition was still high despite propaganda efforts. Many Americans were dissatisfied by the lack of access to resources that had been available before the war and didn’t like the idea of the draft (Chomsky). To silence the dissenters, the government passed the
