In the article, “Donald Trump Vs. Hillary Clinton,” by Aurum CDS, Nikhilesh Jasuja, 6 gfelt, HeidiR, Nicolas Gotchas, I LikeBooks, Kathryn Liu, Sean Giles, Matador. It talks the mainly about the platforms that both Hillary and Trump stand on.While voting between these two candidates voters look at 3 of many concerns which include the legalization of Marijuana, health care and minimum wage. Hillary stands on the democratic party which (in the US) is the older and more liberal of the two major political parties founded in 1828, while Trump stands on the republican party which is the more conservative of the two major political parties in the US: established around 1854. Hillary and Trump is both running for president. Before voting people look at certain issues that are happening and then see what each candidate will do to solve it, many of which include the nominee's position on immigration, health care and minimum wage. One of the main concern is the legalization of Marijuana. In the article, trump wants to use "[marijuana for] medical purposes for medicinal purposes it’s absolutely fine." This means that Donald Trump wants to legalize Marijuana for medical reasons as well as Hillary Clinton but she stated “only for extreme reasons only”. Donald Trump wants to legalize all drugs.While Hillary wants it only for one reason and thats medical …show more content…
"I think people should get more". Wants to let states set the minimum.” However, Hillary “proposes to increase the minimum wage to $12 nationwide.” Trump wants to let each state set the standards on how low minimum wage will be. While hillary just wants to set it at $12 nationwide. Clinton has the better plan for minimum wage than Trump. Thus, clinton has a way of solving this issue that will help everyone.However, this is only one of the issues being referred to while voting for a
His stance on Common Core testing is that “it’s a disaster”. “As president I’d end common core. Common Core is a disaster.” On the other hand Hillary has not yet voted her opinion on what should be done for Common Core testing, so her stance is “unknown.” Trump is against illegal immigration he stated on April 19, 2016 “illegal immigration is going to stop.” So just from this quote you can tell that he is going to stop it at no costs. Hillary said “I will stand up against any effect to deport dreamers. Immigrants are vital to our economy” on October 17, 2015. She wants to give them a full and equal path to become a
First, from 1900 to 1940, marijuana, including opium and cocaine were considered part of everyday drugs. As time went on, the U.S. cracked down on crack and opium, eventually outlawing them, but continued to be very “loose” with the use of marijuana. Hoxter a weed smuggler explains how he began in the 1960’s trying weed and years later saw himself unloading four hundred pounds of pot in Vancouver. The story of this man ends in his isolation and argument of why he couldn’t smoke weed even if he stopped selling? He asked a parole officer and she didn’t know what to respond. It is true what Hoxter states, fifty years ago alcohol was illegal and now it’s not, was it bad then? Will weed be legalized? And will the conflicts have been in vain? (Schou 8). Around the late 90’s and early 2000’s, scientific studies started to produce jaw-dropping results. Scientists started to discover that marijuana can significantly help people who have become ill. Medical Marijuana has been tested to help people with cataracts, cancer and severe depression (Zeese 1999). With this new worldwide discovery, the argument about medical marijuana ignited. States wanted to only make medical marijuana legal so it may help sick people, but the government did not want any form of marijuana legal. The law that was known throughout the United States was any form of marijuana was illegal. But now with this new discovery, doctors in states across the country want the
With the 2016 Presidential election coming in November I thought it’d be appropriate to look at the similarities and differences of the two political parties; The Republicans and the Democrats. Each party has their own set of principles they believe are best suited to run our Country. Together we will look at their ideas on immigration, the 2nd amendment, and our economy.
Have you ever felt so lost and thought there was no hope? Hillary Scott shows us there is
The nation has been evenly divided between Donald Trump, who is calling for dictatorial control of the country with massive tax breaks to the top 1%, and Hillary Clinton, who is calling for tax breaks for the middle class.
In the 2016 Presidential election, both candidates had distinct outlooks on immigration reform. Hillary, was committed to the immigrants' rights community where as, Trump was more focused on enforcing stronger immigration laws. Hillary Clinton's position on immigration reform was to be devoted to the nations incoming immigrants.
One key difference between the Republicans and the Democrats that society sees the most is the debate against taxation and minimum wage. If taxes are being raised, Republicans take it from the middle class or from the poor instead of taking from the rich. Citizens of society that are in the middle class believe that they are the only ones being affected by the change in taxation but that is false. Once again the media portrays that the middle class is affected drastically and to be angry with the government for it. Citizens who are for the democratic party view that the Republicans are just trying to make the rich more rich and the poor more poor. This is the big fight against the Republicans and Democrats and will not seek to an agreement
In the two articles, “Roger Stone Wants President Trump to Legalize Marijuana” and “Marijuana wins big on election night” focus heavily on legalizing marijuana for medical forces and stating factual beings on how the state’s opinion. In the first article, Roger Stone states the value of medical marijuana and wants to convince Donald Trump to do so. Washington’s article reveal the many states opinions and who have already legalized it. In other words, both announce their opinionated yet factual answers on legalizing marijuana.
Betsy DeVos is a billionaire with a complex web of investments, some which include connections to federal education policy, who is interested in being in charge of education for our nation. And of course, there is going to be voting to determine whether she is right for the job or not. Out of 23 senators, all 12 republican senators voted for her, however all 11 democrat senators, voted against her. The democrats were not satisfied and stated that it was not a fair vote because someone casted a vote on behalf of one of the republicans. The choice on whether or not to grant Ms. DeVos this position has shown the many different views of people towards her. In the article, Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, who was also the chairman of the committee,
One of the biggest going on right now is immigration. There are two sides to this. One, Donald Trump wants to build a wall and deport all of the illegal immigrants because Trump thinks they are stealing our jobs and everything like that. Hillary on the other hand, wants to promote education and further help immigrants succeed through their school career. Hillary Clinton also believes that the only people that should be deported are people that pose as a threat to the public. Donald Trump believes muslims shouldn’t be entering this country because of what they bring. On the other hand, Hillary thinks they shouldn’t
The anti-drug group thinks that the President is giving a picture of the medical downside of the drug and how it is really proceed. Others feel that he is showing a laissez-fair attitude for the issues dealing with marijuana policy. Why is the president not giving a clear guidance of the issues with the drug? What they know about the drug is that it help chemo patients with nausea and glaucoma. Some of the anti-group fear how much can the people in these two states smoke or take before they can get on the road to drive to their destination on. A research with fox show that 64% of people are in favor for legalization marijuana use. People often think that the president is not taking the situation seriously, and is overlooking the topic. In addition, others think that he is going against his cabinet and the drug policy. Not only do they feel Obama is being a hypocrite about the situation, but also they feel that the people who are against it are too.
As a child, Condoleezza Rice’s experiences with racism accumulated into a particularly traumatic incident which forever affected her perception of intercultural events in today’s world. As an African American growing up in a segregated Birmingham, Alabama, in the early 1960’s, Condoleezza was exposed to extreme racial tensions and subjected to a society that treated her as inferior on a daily basis. Along with separate water fountains and bathrooms, Condoleezza easily recalls other humiliations African Americans suffered, “You couldn`t go to a restaurant until 1964, or stay in a hotel, or go to a movie theatre unless you wanted to sit up in the rafters in the black only section.”(Couric, n.d.). This commonly accepted negative view of African
President Trump’s stance on the legalization of Marijuana has always been complicated. When campaigning, Trump declared that the legalization would merely be a “state-by-state” issue, but since his inauguration into office his opinion has differed. Trump has indicated he wants to crack down on states that have legalized marijuana. Even with the differing opinions of the head of the nation, the price of marijuana seems to be decreasing at a very fast rate.
I want a president with a record of public service. Someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don't chase fame and fortune for ourselves; we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed. And we give back even when we are struggling ourselves because we know that there there is someone worse off. There but for the grace of God, go I. I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters.
Do you know what marijuana is? “Marijuana is a drug that is always being talked about all over the media. There is constant debate on whether it should be legalized or not. Also, debate on if it were to be legalized, how would they make it work. All these questions are things the government takes into account every day. There is a big divide between people’s beliefs on this matter. Some people think it should be, others think it shouldn’t, and some think it should be with some modifications on the usage. When you look at the benefits, there is no question that marijuana should be legal throughout the entire country. There are way more positive things that could come out of it being legal. The first reason weed should be legalized is because how many other drugs are legal. Weed is one of a few not too harmful drugs that are illegal.”
