Politics The Brokenhearted Summary

After reading Dog Whistle Politics by Ian-Hanley Lopez, I became disgusted. I was with some disbelief that there were such a thing as dog whistling and how politicians use it to get votes. Most of this dog whistling tactics involves racial slurs. So I decided to do some research to see if any of the current Presidential Candidates of 2016 fell into this category. I looked at all the Republican, since Lopez’s book revolved around the GOP in using these distasteful tactics. I looked at all of the Republican Candidates polices and statements that were stated in debates, speeches, interviews, and social media sites. Unfortunately I found a candidate that was notorious for dog whistling, this Republican Candidate was Donald Trump. When it comes to Trump’s statements in debates, speeches, interviews, and social media sites a lot of negativity is involved around immigration issues in the United States.

In “Ready, Aim- Voting” September 22, 2016, Gail Collins claims that the controversy between having gun control or even a training session before buying a gun is coming up because of the elections coming up. Collins supports her claim by giving the example of Jason Kander who was in an advertisement to not allow Hillary clinton to take away the “gun rights” americans have. Collins is hoping to make Americans understand that it's not safe to not have some restrictions with guns in public because gun control has been a problem since many years ago. The author shows a persuasive and informative tone in her article because we should think on who we want for our next president and so far, both political parties don’t have good nominees for president

Clinton associates himself, during his speech, with the combined values of a progressive as well as a collectivist through claims supportive of the future, of progress, of community, and of equality. He states in response to the critics of his actions during the Vietnam War: “I believe it weakened and divided America and made us reluctant to use our strength in other parts of the world. But I know many of you then and many of today disagree with me. And I respect that” (Clinton). The passage shows a collectivist demeanor in that Clinton strives to attain a nation drawing strength from its unity; in his belief, the Vietnam War destroyed the bond Americans share as a result of boundaries being drawn between parties. Moreover, he promotes an atmosphere bent on equality where no personal belief outweighs any other personal belief. Clinton later states: “If any of you choose to vote against me because of what happened 23 years ago, that is your right as an American citizen, and I respect it. But I hope that you will cast your vote looking toward the future, rather than remaining fixed to the problems of the past” (Clinton). Clinton, once again, builds an arena of equality through recognition of the possibility of differences of opinions from the audience members; however, he shifts his focus to a progressive mindset. Clinton asks the audience to look ahead at what the future holds rather than the events of the past. He, later, confronts the dilemma of the election

Recently, gun control policies focused on what the 2nd amendment allows hav been on the forefront of Capitol Hill, news, and social media. Polar opposite opinions are common and have caused heated debates as well as understandable viewpoints on both sides of the argument. Some of the stakeholders that are most affected by decisions made by politicians would include hunters, criminals, those with psychological conditions, the government, and gun owners or enthusiasts. Throughout the article, all sides’ opinions will be illustrated to create an unbiased article.

Over the past couple of years, gun control has become a major issue in politics in reaction to horrific public shootings involving government buildings and even elementary school children. There have been many heated debates regarding the effectiveness and constitutionality of gun control from both sides of the political spectrum. Although some argue that gun control will lead to a decrease in crime, guns allow individuals to protect themselves when law enforcement cannot, concealed carry helps prevent crime, and the fact that guns are not responsible for crimes caused.

Almost everyone living in this country should have witnessed such debates. Some people might not have listened to a formal debate, but an informal gun control debate is being carried on by many groups and individuals. It is very unlikely that someone has not listened to one. Recall the occasions when you were traveling or waiting somewhere hearing the neighbors discussing gun control pros and cons. These conversations are also gun control debates in the wider sense of the term. After all, a debate does not have to be a formal one. The question where the gun control debate is heading to come from the fact that there have been innumerable rounds of this debate, but no conclusion seems to have been

In modern day America, it seems like there is a never-ending amount of issues and controversial topics. Opinions on these different topics are virtually everywhere. They are on the news, on the radio, and especially social media. People have very differing opinions on these issues. These people have different reasons for having the opinion that they have. One huge topic that is always being talked about is gun control.

“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts,” Aristotle. The world is better together, as a whole, than it is made up by each country individually, separated and fending for themselves, with no one support from one another. We are currently living in a divided world. Either divided over power, race, religion, and so much more. We read the news daily, wondering why we cannot accept each other and move forward. We wonder why we are all trying to win the “war of division” separately, not relying on other people that believe in the same thing we do. This “war of division,” despite the contrary, is one we have been facing since the start of our country. From the day we won our war of independence to today, we fight issues on our own, but what

President Franklin D. Roosevelt says , “ Citizens of all democracies unite in their desire for peace” in a speech addressed on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty in October of 1936. This ties back to today's reality of all the different opinions in politics. Despite the different we all share the common hope for peace even though we don’t see eye to eye. This is an example of a true American.

How did we arrive at this point? How did we arrive to the point that some are so afraid of speaking up that they sit by or even cheer as rights and freedoms are taken from them while the others act out in anger and gravitate towards individuals who do not extol the virtue of leaders of the past

Overall, there should not be more restrictions on gun control because it’s our right by the Bill of Rights, acquisition by the black market for guns, and gun-free zones attracting shooters. By knowing the opposing side of gun control, it will enable you to know the possible dangerous effects of an increase in restrictions. Informing the public on how ineffective the laws are, will help them speak out to their government and have a educate their officials. Furthermore, if law-abiding had guns, then the number of criminal firearm uses will

With all of the recent publicized gun violence, America is being seen as an unsafe place with a firearm problem. For many years, the government has been talking about the implementation of stricter gun laws to help improve the crime rates and make America a safer place (C-SPAN, 2013). Gun laws in the United States are meant to control and regulate the possession, sale, and use of firearms and ammunition. Currently, the media is taking advantage of the present gun violence situation and it is creating a controversy between the American people. The perception is that firearms are the source of violence and not the people behind the weapon. To help improve the current crime rate and the safety of the public, the community should be educated on gun control and firearm safety. The implementing of stricter gun laws for gun control has not been as beneficial to

Gun control has a history dating back to 1791, when the Second Amendment of the Constitution was ratified. However, more recently, the debate over gun control has escalated into a much more public issue to which many citizens can relate. After all, stories about incidents involving guns appear frequently today in newspapers and on television or the radio. One could say that the debate started with the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which banned ownership of guns by certain groups of people and regulated the sale of guns. Since then, two main groups have gradually appeared: people who oppose strict federal

On the other side, there are those that reference the persistence of accidental injuries and fatalities that are gun related. People on this side of the debate argue for the banishment of guns, for stricter gun control laws, and for restrictions on certain kinds of high caliber guns and ammunition. They argue for the safety of the general population and for the lack of responsibility of those in possession of guns. They additionally reference the excessive amount of gun violence in media such as music, films, animation, and video games trying providing moderate to exceptional evidence that access to excessive violent imagery in conjunction with what they view as slack gun control policies is an equation for tragedies that society is unprepared to handle and should not have to. Each side of the gun control debate has
