I Think That Elazar’S Labels For Iowa Are Right On The

These ideological tendencies mentioned are present in a political culture that tends to favor low taxes, low government services, and pro-business policies.(Texas Politics-Texas Political Culture)Although this particular control of government is popular among the people who give respect. Economic liberalism is the belief where the economy should be made prosperous by the individuals and not through institutions or organizations. Social conservatism favors to keep any traditional values and morals while populism is the belief that the government should be controlled by ordinary individuals instead of political elites or insiders that have power.(Texas Politics-Texas Political

On August 1 of last year [1996] the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill that would make English the official language of the United States. I honestly believe this is best practice at least for the United States. If everyone speaks English then there is no language barrier within the country. Everyone can go to the store or ask for anything without a problem. This might help the economy as well because some people who speak another language find it harder to buy anything in an all English-speaking store. I know this from personal experiences since I work in a convenient store.

Political culture is a set of values, beliefs, and feelings that are related to the government, politics and the people. According to political scientist Daniel Elazar, Texas’s political culture is a combination of traditionalistic and individualistic elements, Elazar stated, “The traditionalistic aspects of state politics are exemplified by the long history of one-party dominance in state politics, the low level of voter turnout, and social and economic conservatism. The individualistic nature of state politics can be seen in the support for private business, opposition to big government, and faith in individual initiative”. Living in Texas, the regions are very different from the west, east, north and south regions of Texas. Each region

English as the official language of the United States could benefit the U.S. Government and America as a whole. America has long since been a multicultural nation and has been an English speaking nation since it was founded. The constitutional and federal documents are all in English, which furthers the American people, believing English should be our official language. The majority of states already have English as their official language, for English has always provided a much needed cohesion to our diverse citizens since it was founded.

Having different languages in a country, they say, would isolate those foreign-speakers from the rest of the country. Plus, since a knowledge of English—albeit a limited knowledge—is required for American citizenship, they argue that these immigrants might as well learn English proficiently. Economically, having one official language would be cost effective. Translators for both spoken and written language can be expensive, especially for good translators since an poor translation can lead to miscommunication and all kinds of unfavorable problems. English-speaking immigrants would also promote America’s economy because they would be able to secure better jobs. Lastly, the promoters of Official English argue that life would basically be unchanged since English is already the most-spoken language in the US. It would only affect the government and its documents, but it would not lead to a decline in usage of foreign languages nor would it require people to speak English only. Yet, others still argue that Official English is

Still this state holds a crucial role for both party’s elections. The state of Iowa is the first to cast its ballots. Those ballots are a very good indicators of the way other votes across the nation will vote. According to the recent polls, it is still undecided in Iowa. People are very indecisive about who they can vote. Despite multiple visits by the both candidates, voters are still unsure in this 11th hour. The reason behind the both candidates’ numerous visit is the fact that Iowa is the first to vote and whoever wins it, can have a head start. Hillary Clinton is most likely would strive to grab those six votes. The reason is the state has voted the Democratic candidate in five of the last six elections. But Hillary is not a popular choice towards the state’s most conservative Christians. While Hillary has succeeded to sway some conservative and Republican women to her side, she has still yet to convince her Democratic nominee running mate, Bernie Sanders supporters and young people. Lot of people in Iowa thinks both of the candidates are going to be disastrous towards this nation. Bryan Branscomb, an IT Specialist, said “Honestly, I'm a little lost. I feel both would be a detriment to the country." Some Iowans would still vote for Bernie Sanders if they could. So now, only thing I could say that no one knows who will own the state of Iowa this November

In conclusion the midwest and the west region are not very much alike. But they do have some similarities that i explained in my essay. But i believe the midwest is more put together than the west because of its land and background of its religion and

All around the world today, there is a lot of tension revolving around concepts of morality. In Moral Disagreement by Kwame Anthony Appiah, Appiah writes about differing values and morals around the world and within our society. He points out, “we aren’t the only people who have the concepts of right and wrong, good and bad; every society, it seems, has terms that correspond to these thin concepts” (658). However, these concepts are not always the same with each other in every society. In the same way that not everyone in our society believes in the same moral concepts. Unfortunately, it is these disagreements that often separate us as people. Forming different cultures, large and small, throughout the world. This is not a bad thing, but it does separate us as a race, leaving us to care more for one group of people rather than humanity as a whole. In Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism, by Martha Nussbaum, Nussbaum suggest that a way to fix this problem, and to become a cosmopolitan person, is to teach students in our education systems more of different cultures throughout the world. Yet not only should we learn to accept other cultures and their beliefs, but we should also educate ourselves to accept everybody we meet, giving respect to them as individuals, if we ever truly want to become a citizen of the world.

Geography matters politically. Varying states have significant, cultural, and political differences. For example, high-income liberal Democrats in San Francisco have varying concerns than middle-income liberal democrats in Cleveland, and low-income liberal democrats in Texas. This also includes the continuous divide between rural and urban communities in America; this in particular aided Trump’s election. Individuals in urban areas are more likely to vote for Democratic candidates, while those in small towns and low populated areas are more likely to vote Republican. Gelman mentions the history of rich states in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast generally having higher rates of unionization with large cities or areas near large cities. Such locations associated with the tradition of immigration has perhaps led them to be more politically liberal on social issues.

The broader picture to Houston is that it comes from the biggest state in the U.S, Texas. Texas has a vast amount of people and within these people there are different types of mindsets but there are also similar ones things like this are what describe are Political culture which the book, Texas Politics 12th edition, defines it as a shared system of values, beliefs and habits of behavior with regard about politics. Dr. Elazar describes political culture as everyone being impacted by the beliefs and values of the dominant groups in society; these groups can range in between three categories of political culture moralistic, Individualistic, and traditionalistic. According to the book, moralistic political culture is when citizens understand the state and the nation as commonwealths designed to further the shared interest of everyone. In Individualistic political culture, citizens understand the state and the nation as marketplaces in which people strive to better their personal welfare, citizen participation is encouraged. In Traditionalistic political culture, citizens technically believe in democracy, but emphasize respect to elite rule within a hierarchal society and citizen participation is not encouraged. Texas stands right in between Individualistic and Traditionalistic in the scale of political culture.

Every four years, on February 6th, the Iowa Caucus, a meeting to select presidential candidates, begins. Some individuals would assume Iowa holds no significance. However, Iowa helps predict the top presidential candidates for the upcoming presidential election. Over the years, “Iowa has become a king maker;” whereas before, the event was widely neglected by candidates during the 1800s (Iowa Pathways.) In other words, the Iowa Caucus is a series of meetings which helps predict the future candidates in the Republican and Democratic parties, and recognizes the top candidates which have the potential to win the election.

The two states, Colorado and Iowa, both share differences and similarities regarding politics, geography, and their economies. Although they are both located in the United states, that doesn’t mean they share mostly similar things. As a matter of fact, that is not true. According to some resources found, there are more differences between them even though they don’t seem very far away from each other on the state map. Who they are represented by, their terrains and counties, and their type of economy. So, how are they different and how are they similar in some diverse ways?

Even though there are set values that are universally known to the public, people do not always follow those values within their groups. However, these people have to act in conformity and abide by the values in public. Although everyone assumes that “imagined communities” contain a common culture, in reality, they really do not due to the fact that there are many body of ideas and practices that are not shared. Many languages are spoken and countless number of religions are practiced in various countries, so these make the “common culture” idea a misconception among citizens of different countries. For example, people tend to think that America consists of culture that is common, but they do not know if the beliefs, values, and practices are universally shared by all Americans. Nonetheless, there was a time when a dominant culture in the United States actually existed. It was during when the religion of Christianity was prominent and when many countries in Europe spoke the English language. It should be known that black Americans, Chinese-Americans, and white Americans have a common culture because of everything they do and do not share. From the common culture would arise the social identity, which can cause problems in diversity. Diversity can be an issue because of the ignorance of all the contrasting values. These issues arise because racial and ethnic identities are compared to one another and both can also relate to genders and sexualities. Nevermore, distinct genders and sexualities often live together now with the same knowledge and values and can still grow into opposite racial identities. Ethnic identities are so different since they are created in family and community life and people want the solidarity from being unique to one

It is important to speak a national language because it allows you to communicate with the majority of the population. If you cannot speak a national language, it is almost as if you have become mute, unable to speak or communicate

Who can argue against the fact that a successful government must be unified in, if nothing else, its communications? However, the debate over the official language spread deep. Remembering the previous paragraph, foreigners will be here no matter what. They are the majority in some communities. This means that there is a whole population of consumers speaking and understanding only a language other than English.
