Persuasive Essay On American Politics

In 1983, Raymond Carver introduced his short story “Cathedral” to the public. The first-person narrative takes place within the narrator’s home, where his wife is waiting upon the arrival of her blind friend Robert. The narrator, however, becomes more concerned about how Robert’s visit will affect him rather than enjoy the situation. Once Robert arrives, the narrator tries to understand the blind man, but he is unaware of what tasks Robert is capable of performing due to the narrator’s inability to “see”. In time, Robert shows the narrator the difference between looking and seeing through illustrations of a cathedral, drawn by the narrator with his eyes closed. “Cathedral’s” narrator exposes readers to anti-heroic views

Political disagreements - How can we get better value on the money we spend on healthcare while ensuing all Americans are medically covered? Moving towards universal health coverage will help the United States to progress towards answering this question. However, a major hurdle is the idea of letting our government manage the country's healthcare system. Likewise, officials in Congress cannot agree on how to administrate a healthcare system. Over 60% of the Republicans say it is not the government's job to provide health care; yet, over 80% of the Democrats think the government does have this responsibility (CBSNews.com). Reforming the system, like any major

As of late the Electoral College has been looked down upon for their decisions in the 2016 election and many have considered doing away with it. If this were to happen, the popular vote would be the direct vote. Nonetheless, by giving the popular vote the most authority, it would be like giving a monkey a loaded gun: they wouldn't know how to use it and it can lead to many more minor problems that can easily be avoided with the help of the Electoral College. Giving the Electoral College too little or too much power would lead to unwanted disagreements. The Electoral College is best the way it is in view of the fact that the winner-takes-all distribution of votes, changes the victors small percentage margin to seem much larger, so it makes the candidate’s win more certain and legit (usnews.com).

During this year of 1794, we have come through many tribulations and have suffered to great extent for our freedom of Britain. This country has lost fathers and sons to bring us freedom and ensure our rights are kept. It brings me displeasure to write about grievances with our own government. However we must be aware of current and past issues and let it be known that this country and government will defend its people’s rights and preserve their freedom.

Being an athletes is one of the best-paid jobs on Earth. Being that they are paid so much the cost for the consumer is very high. The prices of tickets and sports memorabilia have been steadily rising over the years. The average ticket prices for the NHL, MLB, NBA and NFL all rose 5% to 10% this year, according to Jon Greenberg, executive editor of Team Marketing Report. (Mihoces).

When we see outside today,you will see the different races and people. Well now some of those population might decrease, because of the new ban Donald J. Trump issued. He sighed the ban saying that citizens of North Korea, Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen are limiting entry to the U.S. Even though Iraqi citizens don’t have the same restrictions they are slowing their entry. President Trump states that this will be a great deal in for the safety of America and will help reduce the inconvenience for U.S. when applying citizenships. Later after the ban was officially decided he tweeted,"Making America Safe is my number one priority. We will not admit those into our country we cannot safely vet." When later asked homeland

It is our favorite time of year again--election time. This election season we have an amazing array of candidates, especially on the GOP side. The candidates are such great quality that some of them have never even held a political office. For example, we have a brain surgeon and a media personality running. How does being great at brain surgery and media make you fit for a presidential candidate? You tell me I am still trying to figure that one out too. However, the candidates with the least political experience are actually doing the best in the polls. One candidate that seems to be untouchable right now is GOP candidate Donald Trump. The most unorthodox, radical candidate you will probably ever meet--besides Hitler of course.

From watching the debate, it begins to make it more clear that this presidential election is honestly a huge joke. Donald Trump in my eyes is beyond unfit to be the president and to have that much power given to him. But on the other hand, with Hillary Clinton lies constantly, and we aren’t going to be able to believe anything that comes out of her mouth. While the debate was going on, it just got worse and worse. More than half the time DOnald was screaming at Hillary, not even trying to use his “inside voice” or at least try to be professional. Regardless of that Donald repeatedly said, “she doesn’t have the stamina.” What would exactly be considered as having the correct stamina to be qualified to run for being the president in the United States? In response to what Trump kept saying she said, “..but this is the man who has called women pigs, slobs, and dogs.” With the terrorist situations happening Hillary would bring up things that she thinks he was apart of, and supported those attacks. I

This presidential camping has been both the best and worst thing that has happened in American politics in a long time. To be clear I have nothing against any of the candidates and believe all serve some purpose. However, the actions taken during the presidential campaign have left me utterly disturbed and also surprisingly delighted, so I thought I would share.

Let me tell you who does not serve. It does not serve you the American people. A quote from the leader of the free Donald J Trump. But I ask you this mister trump what American people are you referring to? I’ve done a little research and according to my sources in 2016 under the Obama presidency the nation took in 40 000 immigrants from majority Muslim countries. Since then with the inauguration of America’s new leader in January the witch hunt on Muslim immigrants and refugees has been amplified to new extremes. Trump is acting as a modern-day Abigail Williams in this witch hunt against 1.6 Billion of the population.

The 2016 election is argued one of the most controversial elections in Americas history. Yes, even more controversial then the gore vs bush election. Over two hundred thirty-one million Americans are eligible to vote. However only one hundred thirty million voted. Most democrats and republicans were shocked at the last two candidates standing and after a year of watching campaigns they didn’t know who they wanted in the white house. According to CNN voter turnout this year was at the lowest it’s been in two decades, and I think that has to do with two things. First the candidates both had major flaws that were hard to look past. Secondly 23.7 million young voters voted in the 2016 election, which is about 50% of citizens aged eighteen-twenty-nine. Only

According to History of voting rights web page, the first presidential election in the Unites States was held in 1789, when president George Washington won the election. At the time the U.S was founded, its female citizens did not share the right to vote. In 1848 women started protesting and fighting for their right to vote. This movement went on for 70 years of protesting. Finally, they won the battle in 1920 and the 19th amendment was passed granting woman their right to vote. Voting equality was not complete, because African Americans did not have the right to vote. They started demanding they right without giving up. In 1965 after years of protesting the 15th amendment granted African America the right to vote. The 26th Amendment changed a portion of the 14th Amendment grating 18 years old the right to vote in 1972. Voting is one of our most important right as citizens. As long as this country has existed, communities like ours have had to fight for the right to vote. There are still people today who do not want some people to vote. It’s our turn to stand up and vote to preserve this right the honor of those who went before us.

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.
