Controversial Issues In America

"The only thing she’s got going is the women’s card." Hillary Clinton is a former secretary of state, U.S. senator, and first lady, making her one of the most qualified presidential candidates in U.S. history. Also Donald Trump goes on to say “Both men and women can be victims of sexual harassment in the workplace, though women make up nearly 80 percent of the victims. Trump believes that if a woman is harassed, she should leave the workplace. Also Trump thinks that women who pursue abortions should obtain "some form of punishment" if abortions become banned. In my opinion, Donald has something against women being that he bashes them every chance he gets. Also concerning African American Trump says “If Black lives don’t matter, then go back to Africa.” Donald Trump is using racism to rise to power while promising to make America “great again.” In my opinion, I got that he meant when America was segregated. Donald Trump has a lot of media influence tying back to chapter

To begin with, Donald Trump believes that he is above everyone else and does not have to follow any rules. Trump’s narrow-mindedness and arrogance makes him a non-conformist. For example, Trump continuously spoke about putting up a wall so that Mexican people wouldn't be able to cross the border to come to America. Trump said “ I will build a great wall- and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me- and I'll build them very inexpensively.’ ‘ I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall.’ ‘Mark my words.’” Therefore, Donald Trump felt certain that he will build a wall to keep people out and make them pay for it. Furthermore, Donald Trump sexually humiliated a former Miss Universe. He made an

In one infamous video released by the Washington Post, viewers can actually hear what has become one of his most widely known quotes, “grab them by the pussy.” Furthermore, one can hear his complete lack of respect for women in the video, saying other statements such as “I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait”, going back to the idea women are simply objects to men, a main point Simone de Beauvoir was trying to combat in The Second Sex. This is not the only instance of Trump being misogynistic and degrading towards women. A said by Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly, “You have called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs’, ‘dogs’, ‘slobs’, and ‘disgusting animals”, to which he replied “[I don’t] have the time for total political correctness.” His sexualization of women has continued for years and is the exact stereotypes feminists are working to break free

Donald Trump has voiced his strong opposition to Mexicans being in the United States; he even went as far as proposing the idea of building a wall separating Mexico from the US. According to Forbes’ article written by Dolia Estevez, “he wants to deport 11.3 million undocumented workers, 6 million of which are Mexicans, and strip babies born to undocumented immigrants of their birthright citizenship.”

Donald Trump’s signature topic during his presidential campaign has been illegal immigration. He has generated headlines and controversial remarks during his plans for change. In 2015, when he announced he was running for president, Donald Trump claimed Mexico was sending all their rapist and violent criminals into the U.S. (Gabbatt, 2015). He also called for the deportation of an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants.

When speaking of politicians we have to look at the local and federal officials. We are living in a world today as to where other countries have lost assurance in our federal government. It’s evident that we now live in a world of chaos faced with a lot of different controversial issues. A vast part of this reason is due to decisions made by our politicians. A typical example is the inadequacy of health care this has been a huge controversial topic that affects millions of people. Children and adults lack in health care while many families struggle to earn a living and America’s families are being denied the chance to achieve the American Dream. The Bible teaches us to respect our parents, the elderly and those placed in authority. Therefore

April 2015 was the year Donald Trump, the Republican, announced to the public his serious interest in joining the 2016 presidency election. Trump 's highest interest is immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, and states they are "criminals.” He blames the race of Mexicans of robbing Americans jobs, and treating Americans like babies (Miller, n.pag.). What he does not know, is that not all Mexicans are "criminals," and we are not robbing Americans ' jobs. Most of us come to United States to work our hardest, and get a better job. Trump not only is he a racist, but he also has made many unprofessional actions and decisions. We should not be voting for Donald Trump because his ruthless actions against immigrants are strongly affecting our society and segregating most races within each other. He can be a dangerous future president who is carelessly choosing between the white American and Mexican.Trump shows a high interest in segregation among all races and blames most of the unemployed by allowing Mexicans to “take over”.

Trump. He is a narcissistic xenophobe whose only good job is to put money in his greedy hateful pockets. His foreign policy will most likely be the end of the U.S, he’ll probably put us at war just because he doesn’t like the country, they hurt his feelings or maybe just because he doesn’t like the food. His great idea is to build a big wall to border Mexico (2000 feet long and 50 feet or taller), he said that he will return all illegal Mexicans to Mexico. But technically he thinks that all Latinos Are Mexican, and all Mexicans are illegal immigrants, for example; in New York City, while speaking to a group of investment bankers and hedge fund owners, Donald Trump allegedly declared that if elected, he will revoke the U.S. citizenship of all Puerto Ricans because they are “not part of the American race.” If these sources are accurate, then Trump is saying that Puerto Ricans can be drafted to die in America’s wars. They can sew dresses in the garment district for 50 years, for less than minimum wage. They can pay 20% to 50% more for U.S. products, that are shoved down their throat on the island. They can pay a $73 billion “public debt” to U.S. bankers (the ones he was speaking to in NYC). They can cook, wash dishes, and clean his hotels. But when it comes to “all men are created equal,” Puerto Ricans can forget about it. That part of the Declaration of Independence was not meant for

Among the presidential candidates for the year 2016, Republican representative Donald Trump seems to have the most ridiculous and controversial campaign ideas. One of his more known campaign ideas has to do with banning Muslims from the United States. He generalized that all Muslims currently, or plan to act as, terrorists who will launch attacks on US soil. Building a wall on the border between US and Mexico is another well known idea of his, especially because he wants Mexico has to pay the cost for the wall’s construction. Even though politicians may paint immigration in a negative light, the United States relies on immigrants to help its economy, so it should not opt to throw them out of the country.

Whether people like it or not, America has chosen a President whose policies are not only absurd but could also be detrimental to the nation's economy. Throughout the political campaigns for the presidency from both candidates, Clinton and Trump, have been faced by various controversies. However, Mister Donald Trump has proven to be more infamous. According to his campaign's website, Donald Trump argues for the creation of a wall across the southern United States-Mexico border, as well as having Mexico paid

Every year, millions of immigrants come into the United States. Generally, the United States policies are complex but the topic of immigration in the country is far more complicated to understand. Currently, the topic is extremely controversial yet the government has been trying to avoid addressing it for quite a while now. Nevertheless, it is very rare for a candidate to make immigration policy part of his platform but in the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump even made it part of his campaign which caused world-wide controversy. Trump claimed that he would “make America great again” and create a high security wall along the border between Mexico and the United States. Nevertheless, any decision taken by the government will affect everyone in the country, whether in a positive or negative manner, as “an estimated 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants were living in the United States in January 2012 compared to 11.5 million in January 2011.” The numbers keep increasing every day

In 1997, NYU law professor Annette Gordon-Reed undertook the duties of a historian without abandoning her legal background. An American Controversy examines two relationships: The alleged one between Thomas Jefferson and his slave Sally Hemings, and, more importantly, that between Jeffersonian historians and this potential stain on the legacy of the third President. At the time the book was written, the consensus among historians was that this alleged liaison between master and slave was nothing more than a myth. Reed's work attacks the journey to this consensus as much as it does the consensus itself, building up the argument for the affair's existence and ruthlessly attacking the ways in which and reasons why the possibility of the affair

This year’s presidential election is is being referred to as one that will be historic. While the 2016 presidential campaign has in fact caused social and political disagreement, each candidate beginning and remaining candidate in the presidential race brought forth issues in our nation for table discussion. One of the most debated topics during the primary elections and caucus season was the issue of immigrants and illegal immigration. During this time, current Republican front runner Donald Trump declared accusations towards the Mexican and Hispanic community as being part of the American downfall. While making vulgar remarks earned the GOP candidate publicity and support from anti-immigration reform holders, Trump’s remarks also brought forth the argument into the light.

Most people in America would agree that America really needs help. There are so many controversies, do we make America great again or do we go with the first female president? The Story of “Utopia” by Thomas More presents many of the social problems that America is also facing, but this was far before America was facing these issues. Thomas More is not only the writer of the story, but is also a character in the story. In the story he goes to Flanders and starts talking to this man named Raphael. Raphael then points out social controversies in the justice, political, and religious systems in England

From the very beginning of his campaign trail, Donald Trump piqued America’s interest with his blunt and oftentimes shocking statements. With his candidacy came exclamations of making America great, building walls, deporting illegal immigrants, and keeping jobs in the United States. A Google search
