Essay on Arnold Schwarzenegger - Celebrity to Politician

The reasons why he started talking to the British was that he was really irritated with the American government for not considering him as a significant person. The American government did not consider him as a statesman, and loyal was that they thought Arnold used the army for his personal needs. In addition, Arnold went to the British side because he was not getting sufficient money from the American government, and he had a lot of debt to pay. The British offered Benedict Arnold lot money, to him to join into the British forces. The British also assured that he will be in a high seat in the British, but the British never trusted him because the fact that he is working for the British army now, would not change the fact that he is American.

In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically

Although we never fully discover the humanness of Arnold, one thing is for sure, “He invites fear rather than attraction when he claims to know things about her family and neighbors that he couldn’t possibly know.”(SparkNotes Editors)

Benedict Arnold, born January 14, 1741, in Norwich, Connecticut, had succeeded to be an all around, skilled man. His childhood, “was full of hardships that took a lot of loneliness and work to get over.” Throughout his childhood, he dealt with great quantities of loss, as well as the fact he had to scurry for survival. Therefore, Benedict worked many jobs to help his situation, and despite the troubles, he always seemed to be determined to do more. After all of his jobs, Benedict wanted to be in the militia, as well as join the sons of liberty, “to take action over the violated rights and frustration that taxes are bringing.” Over the years in the militia, Benedict won and lost many battles, fighting as a proud citizen of the colonies. It has been heard that he has a major problem with an outburst of opinion, and “has made many enemies in command.” The New York Gazette can make the

From a technological standpoint, the 1966 primary election was in itself revolutionary. For the first time an IBM computer added up the votes for a large candidate field, twenty counties used the automated voting system. (TOTTON 537). The Democratic primary revealed the divisiveness of the Democratic party in California. Brown narrowly won renomination by 140,128 votes. The party had become vulnerable in the previous election when the party council had been alienated, a debate over party hierarchy began, and the Democratic mayor of Los Angeles broke with the party by “striking a lethal blow at an incumbent governor.” (TOTTEN 537). Party morale dropped and funding lessened putting the party into debt. The 1966 primary pitted the incumbent against

“After so many sacrifices, he became disillusioned with the war’s progress,” Linda Creighton explains in her article, “...he grew deeply mistrustful of the cause's civilian leaders and, ultimately, Arnold himself felt betrayed” (Creighton). As a result of this “betrayal”, Arnold criticized the mindset of the his former peers in his “Proclamation to the officers and soldiers of the Continental Army”, arguing that their own act of treason against the British “has robbed [them] of [their] property, imprison [their] persons, drags [them] to the field of battle, and is daily deluging [their] country with [their] blood” (Arnold). Although his Proclamation acts as a method of trying to appeal Continental soldiers and not as a list of reasons of why he’s betraying the country, the source still provides a great example of his sentiment during this period of the war. Furthermore, Arnold’s interest in money contributed to the reasoning behind his disloyal actions. When he completely lost faith in the American war effort, Arnold reached out to British Major John André and “plotted to sell West Point to the enemy for 20,000 British pounds” (Creighton). Consequently, André was captured and executed and Arnold was later exposed as a traitor, betraying the trust of George Washington, the commander-in-chief who gave

His motives for this surprising act vary. His desire for wealth, pridefulness, and ambition all played a part. Arnold had always

In the fight for Transylvania’s 7th District, two candidates have a tough campaign to lead, however Republican Earl Grey has a slight upper hand in a couple different ways. He already has the quest of bringing jobs to his district, while Democrat Jack Wolfman seems unclear about his definitive goals. Grey also has recorded evidence to him going in a different direction than the Tea Party, which can help him claim the moderate votes. Additionally, being the incumbent has tremendous perks through the resources available to Grey throughout the course of his term. Some preliminary disadvantages he has is that he is not connected well with his district and Wolfman has significant influence over some of the Republican base through his work with the veterans. The failing automotive industry would appeal well to Grey’s campaign assuming that he plays his cards right. There are some advantages Wolfman seems to have over Grey. First, because the district having some urban areas with large minority populations, Wolfman will probably have aligned ideology with these areas because of how Democrats tend to perform in urban cultures. Second, Wolfman’s historic alliance with the labor unions will help him with the working middle class. Third, the state as a whole seems to be moving towards a stronger Democratic voter base. These are not all the advantages each candidate have over the others, however they will play a

Nearly every state leader and politician in California urged voters to vote against Proposition 13. Because California was and is the only state to attempt something like Proposition 13, the consequences were a mystery. No one knew what would result from this new amendment. At the time, economists predicted that Proposition 13 would result in drastic cuts to government spending. The unemployment rate was predicted to increase by nearly one percent (Glyn and Drenkard 1). Still, the promise of removing the strain property taxes were placing on nearly every California resident was too appealing. So what exactly did California voters vote in favor

In accordance to the reforms, James Madison would argue that the people advocating for the reforms were doing so to benefit themselves, or in self-interest. Direct democracy for example gives citizens certain political powers and rights that can be exploited. One of them, recall can be used to recall a political leader, if voted upon. This process can be used to eliminate a leader from a party, and potentially elect one from a preferred party. For example, in 2003 Governor Grey Davis was recalled. World Socialist Website notes that “The recall was the initiative of the Republican right in the nation’s largest state. They seized on a near century-old provision for removing governors guilty of malfeasance, seeking to manipulate it for antidemocratic ends inimical to both its letter and spirit.” Analyzing the outcome, it seems likely possible it was done in self-interest as Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected afterwards, a Republican candidate with little political experience. James Madison most likely would note this as an act intended for the benefit of a political

In 2004, How Arnold Won the West, was released featuring a look into the dramatic comics of what the Republican recall in California had become. The filmmaker of the documentary, Alex Cooke was able to feature the ridiculous acts that came out of the recall including the different candidates that ranged from actors, self-promoters, performance artists to porn stars. Many people throughout California are pleased with the recall occurring, however, there are also many people who believe this is nonsense and should have never happened. The main candidate focused around is Arnold Schwarzenegger who is seen repeating the same information and being unable to answer questions or participate in the debates

Mr. Arnold Benson, 58 years of age, believes in many political stances that make him a Reactionary. For instance, he strongly believes that the federal government should stay out of their people’s lives. Additionally, Arnold believes in turning back the clock and restoring what America used to be when the founding fathers were still alive. He also believes in lower taxes, because as he said in his profile, taxes are killing America. Although the government is trying to help people in need, Arnold believes that the government should stay out of social programs and should not help the people of this country. He believes that American families need to take care of themselves. Finally, he concluded that America needs to pull out of the United Nations and support our own government 110%.

California represents is not as easy to attain as they once thought. The characters in The Day of the
