Module 13: Map Assignment

America is the leading power in the world. Although to other countries we may seem like a well bonded country, we are divided. Democrats and Republicans in the past have never been this angry at each other in a long time. The last time our nation has been this divided was during the Civil War and events that partook after. Statistics in this past election show that 54% of Republicans our in disapproval of Democrats. While Democrats show a 55% disapproval toward Republicans (Election News). This divide started in 2008 when John McCain elected Sarah Palin to be his Vice President in the election vs. at the time Senator Barack Obama. After Obama was elected President, the Alt-Right and Conservatives were afraid that they would not have another Republican in office again. Back when Eisenhower was elected, Democrats and Republicans showed a 60% approval rating of him when elected into office (Thinker,America). From Lincoln to Trump on the other hand, Democrats nowadays are not happy with the New Republican Party. Then in 2015 Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president. He than attracted the Alt-Right with his talks and inciting fear into Americans. Nowadays America is divided and

The election of 1860 and 2016 divided our country. There are some similarities and differences, but both elections had the same effect. Each point in time had problems, and each candidate had a different point of view on how to solve these problems. The people who are voting for our future president need to have some background information, so that’s what I’m going to give to you. Hopefully after reading this, you will be sure the person you’re voting for is right for the country.

Review the sample syllabus and sample rubric under the questions below. Then, provide answers underneath the following questions:

However, as stated before, over the recent years since candidates have been using the internet to reach out to the younger generations they are slowly starting to become even more involved in politics like voting. This causes the candidates to have a higher chance of being able to win. This also results in a change on the group of people who will most likely vote. For example, using the same example of the 2008 presidency Obama promised a lot to minority groups this caused the minority to vote for him. Like he promised to help fix the immigration process this caused hispanics who were citizens to vote. The reason this was truly remarkable is because people of color are usually have lower rate of voters but because of the promises it caused a good portion of people to vote. Currently, with this election that is occurring is going to be similar to 2008 because this election is really causing people of color to vote because this election is really going to change what happens to the U.S. Regardless, for which candidate people chose they have strong opinions which caused people friends and family to argue over the issue. As well as, because of the controversial issues both candidates Clinton and Trump said or done people are either voting against or for them. Especially the minority because of the comments Trump has

This recent election that took place on November 8, 2016 included candidate Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Towards the beginning of the election the results seemed that Hillary would win and was taking

Although Donald Trump does have valid points to the issues at hand, he is missing one thing, and that is humility. Without humility how do you expect people to relate to you. During certain times it is good to set things straight and stern, but you need to be able to be a little vulnerable towards the people to show them you can be trusted. Clinton on the other hand shows both good tactics and systems for topics that are necessary to discuss. Beside being organized she has shown me that she has humility and is not afraid to be a little vulnerable in front of the media or the people. This is something I find very important because it makes it easier for people to relate to. The one factor that makes me uncertain of Hillary Clinton, is her lack of explanations as to how she would fix the issues mentioned. Overall I would have to say that neither candidate has truly proven to be better than the other. However I chose Trump and Clinton for one specific reason, and that was to do an experiment on both to see what kind of candidate they were, and what their methods

The most recent presidential election has been one of the most dividing in the history of America. While President Trump won the electoral vote, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, creating a divide in workplaces, schools, and many other public places. The greatest challenges that the President will need to address first are the unity of Americans for the acceptance of all people and the education of young people, as they are the future of our nation.

How do you think the presidential election is going this year? Many people seem to think that this presidential election is a heated and controversial debate between the Republican and Democratic Party. Some seem to think that as a nation we have never had such contention in an election and that we will never be able to recover from such damage that this election will cause. But history tends to repeat itself in our nation; for example, some of our past elections have caused fear in citizens’ eyes just like this election has done. An example of this is, the presidential election of 1800 between Thomas Jefferson and James Adams, this election caused great worry during that time period. Another election that worried our country deeply was the presidential election of 1860 between Abraham Lincoln and John Breckinridge this election caused our great nation to be divided. Another similarity that both these presidential elections have had, is that at the end of each election the American people have put their political views aside, and united

In this essay, I will compare and contrast the recent top two candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as it relates to the presidential election, along with my opinion and views regarding what recently took place as of November 8th, 2016. It’s no secret that this election has been the craziest thus far. Not only for the first time has a female candidate made it this far in an election, but we also got to witness the shenanigans that took place leading up to the election, majority of which came from our very own, Donald Trump.

The election of Donald Trump exposed the depths of division in America today, and the duration of his presidency, no matter how long, will be a true test of this nation. No doubt, we are about to step onto the longest roller coaster ride of most of our lives, and none of us lined up for it. Nonetheless, this is our reality now. All that is left to do is deal with it.

When it comes time for a presidential election every four years it boils down to two main groups of people who come out on top: the Republicans and the Democrats. One of the candidates who will win the presidency has almost always been a Democrat or Republican. Now, these candidates have drastically different opinions on everything, one example is climate change; Republicans will usually say it is not relevant or it does not exist and have a conservative mindset toward the issue, while the Democrats will mostly have a liberal mindset and are willing to accept the fact that the planet is changing for the worse. One of the major problems with Republicans is that they tend to be very conservative and have a closed mind to many problems that face the country, however on the other side there is the Democrats; who have a very liberal and open mind to problems and are willing to change things for the better and have open minds to problems facing the world.

In response to the widely unexpected and controversial election of Donald Trump the University of Maryland’s Government and Politics department hosted a panel to help staff and students understand how this happened. Additionally the panel hosts each spoke of what will happen to our government in terms of foreign and domestic policy. Each panel host had a different perspective on the matter and it made to be a very interesting discussion filled with a diverse set of opinions on how Donald Trump got elected and what it all means going forward. The speakers for the event were Irwin Morris, David Karol, Antoine Banks, Liliana Mason, Stella Rouse, Vadimir Tismaneanu, and Karol Soltan. Though there were many speakers at the event each person had a brief time to speak on the matter at hand and present their own analysis on the election.

It’s blatant that our once beloved nation has turned for the worse. In my opinion, America is currently struggling greatly in advancing ourselves as a nation. With that being said, 2016 is a special year due to the fact we have the obligation of electing a new president. Numerous amounts of people will be voting for their reputable parties; meanwhile, countless amounts of people will cast their vote for who they personally like. However, the vast majority of the population doesn’t look into the legitimate issues our nation currently possesses. Citizens should be looking for candidates that have similar perspectives on top issues as them, as well as a respectable character reputation.

My work throughout this semester has been a lot different than my work in my current classes. I was able to do fun projects where the assignment did not actually feel like work. For my first assignment of analyzing the arts I got to research an artist that intrigues me. I was able to find an artist that created pictures that involved, and I chose this artist because I love dogs. Through this project I learned a lot about this artist and also many other artists through the presentations of my classmates. My second assignment involved me experience some type of art style. I was able to attend a concert that I had really been hoping to get to go too and this gave me the perfect excuse to attend. I was able to enjoy this concert, but also think about the music elements that I had learned about in class. I think this was a great way to apply what I had been learning about in class. My third assignment was creating in the arts, and I made a water picture that had two boats that were next to a dock. This assignment let me again apply what I have been learning about and also be in charge of what I created. I think this assignment let me be creative. My fourth assignment was creating an art integration lesson plan with a poster. I think this was beneficial because I got to take everything that I have learned about throughout the course and turn it into one project. I briefly showed my lesson on a poster along with my classmates. My lesson plan is about integrating dance, which is not a form that I had focused on for previous assignments. Overall, I think my knowledge about art education has grown. I think I have grown by being more confident in what I create and what I perform.
