Representation Of A Political Candidate

To use a recent example, Donald Trump gained loads of support by proclaiming he was not the “typical politician.” He constantly reminded the people that he was raised in America and a “man of the people.” He also repeated his famous slogan of

As I was reading Ten Things Political Scientists Know that You Don’t, there was a particular finding of Noels that is relevant to today’s election. I think the first topic, which was called “It’s The Fundamentals, Stupid,” was the most interesting because it points out the obvious things that happen when politicians and their team try to come up with different campaigns, slogans and other stuff that will catch citizens off guard. I think that this is most important part in a campaign because this is where citizens get a first look of who you are, and decide if they will like you or not. Since Americans do not dig deep into

Global debates are dominated by controversial political figures that use charged arguments to debate the most controversial issues on the political agenda. The authors argue that success in politics is not about being right or well-reasoned. Instead, it is asserted that success in politics is the ability to imprint positive associations in the long-term memories of voters. More so, success in politics is may be the ability to craft regular, credible, and persuasive arguments that resonate with those of one’s

We hold debates between the Republican and Democrats before the primaries, and then we hold debates between the two remaining presidential candidates. Upon first glance it may appear that the presidential debates are held to get to know the candidate’s positions on the various issues that are important to the American people; however, the format of the debates make it difficult to accomplish that task. Instead, it is more plausible that these debates are held in order to discover what the candidates are like personally because the debates provide ample opportunities for us to discover the candidate’s values. Ultimately, we want to find out the values that these potential presidents have because we want someone we trust to lead the

In the 2012 presidential election, the incumbent Barack Obama campaigned against Mitt Romney (Document E). Both candidates used glittering generalities to appeal to voter’s emotions. Obama used “Hope” and “Forward” and Romney used “Believe in America.” Neither of these catch phrases were informative as they did not provide any real information to the voters.

There has not been a critical election in recent years because mass media has created a less passionate partisan atmosphere. Candidate-centered politics allows candidates to reach out directly to voters through televised campaign ads and relay their opinions on public issues. Thus, a candidate’s message may reach a broader audience, including those of the opposite party, because anyone could see a campaign ad on a television, as opposed to going to a political rally of solely Republicans or Democrats. These candidates do not require as much help from their party’s members to recruit voters with political rallies or door-to-door recruitment; however, political rallies and door-to-door recruitment have a natural tendency to excite and unite parties more than television campaign ads that voters watch from their living-room sofa. Candidate-centered

Candidates for the House of Representatives, both incumbents and challengers, work hard to raise public awareness of their intentions of running for Congress. Trying to inform voters of themselves is important for candidates to potentially increase their opportunity of election. However, incumbent candidates may differ from challengers based on the level of knowledge voters have on each. Such as, if voters are capable of recalling the name of the House candidate, whether it be the incumbent or the challenger, can demonstrate the voter’s knowledge. Furthermore, voter’s capability to recall a name may be affected by how much they care about who wins the election for the House from their congressional district.

Throughout American History, people expect those who run for president to fully understand the occupation and its role as president and the importance of soliciting their votes. During each election, America assumes that each candidate will thoroughly explain their positions and their values so that the people can become familiar with the candidate and begin to trust them. Over time, the way presidential candidates promote themselves to America continued to evolve in many different ways that connect more with people on a nation wide level. Also, each president has a role they must follow. They are expected to understand the qualifications of a president and its powers in position so they can truly be in running as the Chief Executive of the United States of America. Moreover, new ways of publicizing the campaigns, have become a major role in understanding each candidate. With that being said, strategizing and campaigning have changed dramatically as new technology was introduced. In early America, the presidents were limited to its abilities as laws were new and not concrete. Once the U.S. developed into its truest form, the government realized its strengths and weakness. While overcoming many obstacles in the colonies in the early times of America, then later being a whole nation as one, the government created a unique governmental system that included regulations for the president in order to keep America united and tranquil. In the early times of this nation, voting

The 2004 and 2012 Presidential Elections demonstrated the voter’s commitment to incumbent Presidents during tough times and major crises. In 2004, voters were interested in foreign policy, terrorism and the current wars. In 2012 the national focus was the economy, following the financial crisis that began in 2008. Consequently, the challenging nominees had backgrounds appropriate for the issues, but had the inability to stand out as a better option. Perhaps because, typically incumbents have the advantage of better name recognition, experience and their agenda has had longer time to be defined.

In the following documentary, “Last Man Standing: Politics Texas Style” this film is taken place from a behind-the-scenes point of view that shows a very closely fought race in the Texas, There was an ongoing race for the House District 45. Not only did you see the ongoing race but also got to witness the governor’s race, which is Tony Sanchez against Governor Rick Perry. Also another witness Ron Kirk running for senate in Texas against John Cornyn. Overall numerous comments are proclaimed by local and nation figures in the documentary about discussion’s on politics, which really had a very intuitive background to an in depth side from running campaigns to strategies that some candidates used to attract voter to vote for them. In the documentary it primarily focused on two specific candidates running for The House District 45. First, you had Rick Green, a thirty-one year old incumbent Republican Legislator and a conservative leader that is running for reelection as House District 45. He had served two terms during the republican holder generation. Most people notice right from the beginning that he is well more experience candidate for the election, thus making people more openly trust him that he can manage the position of in which he is running for. This not only makes him more experienced through the people’s perspective but also through his campaign style and debate appearances. Another appealing interest that people see is that he is a Christian which people pick up

In her study, she examined whether crying, acting tough, displaying anger, and other gaffes by male and female political candidates are received differently by the public. On the subject of crying, she found that it is unambiguous that candidates should do their best to avoid having an angry outburst while on the campaign trail. This is clear for both males and females, as she also found that it is no worse for a woman candidate to blow her top than a man. Overall,

For many years we have seen the political parties use advertising as their main agenda to reach the public attention. Edwin Diamond and Stephen Bates introduced to the world the four phases of political advertising (Trent& Friedenberg, 2000). In these phases the candidate gets the opportunity to introduce attack, show their beliefs and explain to the audience what they can do for the country as a whole. In the four phase of advertising there is also three rhetorical purposes that is use to draw characteristic to the ads which shows praise to the candidate’s virtues, attack or question their opponent and the effort to respond to their opponent. In the ads I choose from YouTube you can clearly see the different actions taken to show the world

Representation is when elected officials nominally speak for their constituents in the legislature. Equality is defined as the state of being equal. especially in regards to a person’s status, their rights as citizens, and the opportunities given to them. In American society, every citizen is supposed to be given equal rights and opportunities by the politicians they chose to represent them in the country’s government. One issue that I believe to be viewed and discussed by many people in our society is whether the United States government represents its citizens equally or unequally in society. Throughout the semester, we have talked about many different authors’ views and opinions that address this specific issue. Each reading we have read was written in relation to the societies and time periods in which the authors lived, but can all be tied together to address the issue in the United States today. There are also many of examples in our society today, that can show us the lack of equality amongst the citizens in the United States.

In “The Psychology of Voting: An Emotional Matter?”, Kristtina Cooper introduces the topic in which why psychologists study the real reason for why people vote for certain candidates and how those candidates are able to utilize that for their own purpose. There have been many views about this matter, from theories to irrelevant thoughts. Voters now look for the candidates’ appearances and personality traits other than their talent and political views. The importance in voting is that people should recognize the talent that the candidates have other than in anything else, according to Dr. Peter Bull. Dr. Capelos says that voters should be looking for the candidates’ ability to successfully accomplish things and the morals that represent them.

In “Political Representation,” Shapiro et al. (2009) say that “political representation lies at the core of modern politics.” Representation is usually linked to the concept of democracy (Shapiro et al. 2009). The concept of representation is explicitly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution (U.S. Const. art. I, § 1, 2). However, the meaning and appropriate form of “representation” have been debated by political theorists and philosophers for centuries. The definition of representation one chooses to use is influenced by the form of representation one finds most appropriate. Given the different forms of representation, legislators can be responsive in different ways. Representation also operates at two different levels – the national and local
