e.g.: If person A has political power over B, then A is able to motivate, inspire, incite,

In fact “ nearly 4 in 10 people have taken steps to block or minimize the political content they see from other users.” This shows that people modify what things they see on social media and proves that political opinions have become much more popular to share on a personal profile. The shocking thing is that “overall 20% of social media users said they have modified their stance on a political issue because of material they saw on social media and 17% say social media has helped change their views about a specific candidate.” Pew Research Center goes on to say that people who have changed their political views on an issue stated that social media pointed their views in a more negative direction. This is important to acknowledge because knowing that the ideas that changed people’s mind on how they thought about a specific candidate were negative can lead to the assumption that the news they were reading could have been fake. Since these numbers are so low it can be hard to argue that the news people receive on social media is considerable enough to influence people’s opinions

The Republican party is known as one of the two primary parties, the other being the Democratic Party.The Republican party became associated with the Laissez-faire capitalism, to lower taxes and conservative social groups in the 20th and 21st century.In the 1870’s the party had acquired the acronym GOP, widely known as the “ Grand Old Party.”Moreover, the parties official logo is the elephant it came from a cartoon by “Thomas Nast.”They oppose abortion and same-sex marriages, and they look to values found in Christianity.

The 2016 election has been the first election where social media has been a key player to how people got their information. Statistics say “44 percent of American adults said they had learned something new in the past week about the election from social media.” However, with social media such an important influence on the younger generation it is important for all of this information to be legitimate and truthful. Google and Facebook have recently changed their policies to try to stop fake news articles from popping up within their ad space. The spread of fake news articles skews the public's perception of the candidates. The guardian talks about how the American voter is not just one demographic (college educated individuals, white men, minorities etc. ) because of this lack of (straightforward), it's hard to get an accurate prediction on who would have won the election. Additionally, the media affected the election negatively because they did not give the general public enough information to understand the statistics that they were

Americans have demanded rights from the government for 200 years and also demanded that they are not infringed upon. This is a reasonable claim, but when it comes to Native Americans, they are not given their due. The biggest insult to their rights is that of the environmentally dangerous, falsely advertised, and political money making Keystone XL Pipeline. This political pipeline project should be abandoned due to the obvious environmental hazards, its political motivation, and the infringement of the Native American rights.

During and prior to the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, the American political system saw the formation of political parties as the republic began to mature. Nevertheless, most Americans did not participate in the elections due to property restrictions to voting. Up until 1828, the states chose the presidential candidates through popular votes. Originally, measures such as the Electoral College and state representatives, put in place in the 1700s, functioned to limit participation in the democratic process in order to prevent excessive influence by ordinary people. This changed, however, with advent of the Jacksonian era of democracy. The son of Scottish-Irish immigrant farmers, Andrew Jackson’s ascension to power marked a change in American

One of the many great rights of being an American citizen has been the ability and power to have a voice and for that voice to be heard by those place in a position of trust to make change happen. American’s have always had a reputation to be stubborn, loud and to stick up for what they believe in. This still continues today as each and every citizen of this great nation is entitled to a voice and that one voice is capable of making an impact all the way up to federal policies. The average American truly can impact the federal policymaking process, but it has to start at the lowest level first.

More and more people are getting their news from social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Tumbler and many more, and candidates are using this to their advantage. This election is probably one of the first were candidates have actually used social media sites as their direct communication line to potential voters. Social media today had gone from gossip and family pictures to a location for political strategy. Thanks largely to trumps regular social media first declarations and its actually working particularly with the younger voters. A study released last year from the Pew Research Center that Marissa Lang cited showed that “Among 18- to 29-year-olds, nearly two-thirds said social media is the most helpful means of learning new things about politics.” (Lang, 2016). Even if the candidate isn’t the one posting the video or message in the end it will still end up on social media. For example, Trump had announced his plan to ban all Muslims from entering the united states in South Carolina not on social media however it found its way there and spread like wild fire. This sent those who were outraged to respond in disgust and those who encouraged it to share it so that their friends could see and so on and so on. Even if those who shared it did it to

The greater the difference in the parties’ voting behavior, the easier it was for voters to see a difference in the two parties. We know that voters take cues on how to vote from political elites. So, in this process, first, one should see policy demanders/opinion leaders push for elected officials, such as members of Congress, to vote along ideological lines. Second, as the members of Congress vote more along ideological lines, members of the electorate can see which party votes for liberal ideas and which party votes for conservative ideas. Then voters evaluate whether the ideas of the party of their choice line up with their issue preferences. If their issue preferences do not line up with their preferred party, then individuals change their party leaning. This change in party leaning should be reflected in party strength, as more people move toward one party, which should shift in party strength. If an ideological realignment was the cause of the realignment of the southern electorate, then one should see that as the parties became more polarized, the party strength of the conservative party, the Republican Party, should increase because of the predominance of conservative

"You don 't get the chance to make America great by getting rid of everything that made America great,” Stated by Hillary Clinton during her campaign rally in St. Louis, Missouri to attack candidate Donald Trump from his previous diverse rhetoric. Political Rhetoric has been very popular in today’s society. Politics use this as a platform to criticize other candidates about important points that are essential to the United States and its citizens. Not only does others believe that political rhetoric is out of control but it is a negative form of art. During election time, the media and the internet are critical for candidates because it gives them easy access to the younger audience. Although social media is enormous in today’s society, this is the best way for young voters to make their voices heard. Scott Keeter a research analyst and exit poll analyst for NBS News stated that “Young voters have given the Democratic Party a majority of their votes, and for all three cycles they have been the party’s most supportive age group” (Keeter, 1). According to U.S. Census Bureau over the course of time the rate of younger voters “Dropped from 50.9% percent in 1964 to 38.0 percent in 2012” (U.S. Census Bureau, 2).However, the media continue to evolve with modern society. I believe that rhetoric such as visual political rhetoric helps the youth to get more involved with the political arguments while being educated and entertained at the same time.

Change is the part of society that matters the most. Without change we would still be using horse and buggies, wearing big dresses, and growing our own crops. Political leaders help change, shape, and form society. In their speeches for election often includes a list of things that they would change if they were elected. There are different types of change in the American society such as, change in fashion, healthcare, the way school is taught, and the food industry. Fashion changes more than you can change your own clothes. One article of clothing could be “in style” one day and the next it’s not. Political leaders change Healthcare when they realize that people are not getting help that they need. The way school is taught changes every year.

This year’s elections are really making history, and one of the most popular questions this year is, where are you on the political spectrum? Instead of telling you where I lie on the political spectrum let’s talk about where the four major parties lie on the spectrum. The four 4 major political parties include the Democratic party, the Republican party, the Libertarian party and the Green party. The Democratic Party is neither completely liberal nor completely conservative they are in the middle. The Democratic nominee for this year's presidential election is Hillary Clinton. On the other hand, the Republicans are more to the right side of the Political spectrum. The republican nominee for the presidential

According to Johannes, “Incumbents routinely raise and spend much more money than challengers, although it is true that the more incumbents spend, the worse they fare, because, they are spending in response to heavy outlays by serious challengers (134).” Although, presidential spending is a major concern for Americans, this issue can easily be resolved.

The media, a powerful source of information but what are the affects? While the media is seen by many as a vital source of information offered through a variety of different outlets, the theoretical underlining affects of the media demonstrates how stories from within it can influence society. The imprtance of not only recongnizing but understanding the media’s affects remains a vital priority in all forms of information today in how it is received and interpretated by different audiences. The level of effect of the media however, has been disputed heavingly, as with different forms of media such as online have developed a different affect for the mass media consumer. When regarding the level of effect the media holds, the 2016 Presidential campaign presents a prominent case study that shows a limiting affect of the mass media that

Throughout history of elections the United States of America has had fifty-eight elections so far. There has been an up and down percentage of votes for the Republican and Democratic parties. Women were not allowed to vote back then compared to now, men could only vote back in the earlier years but now both genders have equal rights.
