The Fight For Success And Supremacy

Competition is prevalent in various aspects of life, including sports, school, and jobs. Everyone at some point in their lifetime will have to compete against others in order to achieve a goal or earn a prize. It’s how the world has worked for a long time; it’s survival of the fittest and this minor competition between everyone is how we have continuously gotten smarter, faster, and stronger. Competition is necessary to a certain degree, but how much is too much? It’s definitely not a bad thing, and as long as there’s a healthy amount, it can be beneficial because it fosters self-improvement, and it will push people to go all out and try their absolute best.

The 2016 Presidential Campaign candidate, Bernie Sanders, believes in creating a better America. In proving to the American people, rich and poor, how great the country can be if all people vote for who is trusted best as future President of the United States. The political figures in government care about money and wealth, not the people. Bernard Sanders would be the best choice for President for the main reason that he is concerned about the issues in America that create inequality for the people. The issues addressed by this candidate will create social and economic equality.

Bernie Sanders once said, “A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little” (“Bernie Sanders Quotes”). He was the runner up for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. He seemed to be bringing forth a new era for the Democrats, one that would have been anti-corporation and would finally pass an effective Universal Health Care. Unfortunately for him , big business and the establishment Democrats won again. This election serves as a good example of the Democratic party - a party whose history goes from supporting slavery to enforcing justice and acting as a vessel for change, all the while sprinkled with corporate corruption.

The Democratic party has become an unmitigated disaster, thanks the Third Way corporatist strategy implemented by president Obama and the Clintons. Under the leadership president Obama and former DNC chair debbie Wasserman Schultz the party has lost over 900 state Legislature seats, 69 house Seats, 13 Senate seats, and 12 governorships. The number of seats lost are unacceptable, despite the clear disaster many Democrats claim the Party is fine. The more intelligent establishment Democrats appear willing to move in a Progressive Direction though some of their recent actions have proved otherwise. In order to save the party progressives must abandon the corrupted DNC and instead align with the newly formed Justice Democrats. The debate between

Though Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are on opposing ends of the political spectrum they both are channeling populist rhetoric to get their point across. The bottom line is that there has always been and continues to be citizen unrest in how the government is run. There is a general consensus that citizens feel that the officials they elect to office lack loyalty to constituents because private interests are funding their campaigns and wielding influence on policy. While both candidates are calling attention to the establishment politics within the beltway each have their own unique objectives: Sander’s focus is on calling attention to gross inequality and

With Hillary Clinton’s recent self-proclamation of “securing” the Democratic nomination, along with the heated 2016 presidential election, has come an Independent, Progressive political movement, with citizens calling for action against a system widely believed to have failed them.

Under the watchful guidance of President Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party, America is finally moving in the right direction. In 1996, we, the Democratic Party, adopted and enacted a platform that has reinvigorated the

After learning about the political and social debacles of the Democratic National Convention, national and international events of 1968, along with following current political news, I can’t help but wonder if Bernie Sanders has the potential to be the Democratic Nixon? There are parallels between United States’ transformations in 1968 and what is happening today. However, in contrast, after nearly fifty years of conservative dominance, it is the Republican Party that is splitting among moderate, or more liberal, conservatives and right-wing extremists (Killian, 2015). One professional, the Anti-Defamation League’s Investigate Research Director, Mark Pitcavage,

The 2016 Presidential Election is coming sooner and sooner as each day passes, and it’s approaching the point where all eligible voters need to become informed about the each of the Democrat and Republican candidates running in the 2016 Presidential bid. The voter should be aware of what each candidate represents and what their values are and from that the voter can decide which candidate suits their beliefs best and vote for said candidate when the time comes. In this upcoming election, in my opinion, the candidate that wants the best for the majority of the citizens of the United States is Senator Bernie Sanders. His views in politics, connect with many poor and middle class families because all throughout his political career and his 2016

The political infrastructure of America has remained consistent with the ideology of a representative republic, essentially the masses choosing representatives who then decide whom they want as a leader of the fine country under the notion of said candidates ideologies, religion, and promises upon election. Every four years, America holds an election to determine the Commander in Chief, an honor of prestige and status. The duty of a President is to obey the best interests of the country, utilizing their power in order to handle the issues that plague the nation. Planetary issues such as gay marriage, immigration, and marijuana particularly, same-sex marriage, the construction of a wall near the southern border, and medical marijuana.This essay aims to display the arguments/stance that each presidential candidate has towards such issues, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and serves as an analysis of their determined stance.

As of November 8th, 2016, Donald Trump is the 45th president elect of the United States. As much as this is a defeat, or victory for a numerous amount of citizens across America ,that is not exactly what this is about. I’m here to say shame on you. If it wasn’t already apparent, your chosen establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton was one painted in scandal, dishonesty, secrecy, and unpopularity. I can’t imagine why you, the democratic establishment, felt it would be wise to practically ignore the grassroot progressive movement occurring right in front of your eyes. It wasn’t an anomaly, it was a symptom of something much larger. It was a sign that the people of America wanted something different, as they did in 2008 when they supported President Obama with the aspirations of “Hope and Change”. This selfish of choice of yours was a complete betrayal of the people who have supported you over the decades.

After 8 years of having Obama as president it is now time to vote for the new leader of our country. We have two very strong candidates who are continuously trying to amuse the hearts of millions of Americans with the goal of obtaining their votes in this year’s presidential election. Our first candidate is a woman named Hillary Clinton who is,” a current democrat, former United States secretary of state, U.S senator from New York, and first lady.” (The 2016 Presidential Candidate’s Political Stances." ISideWith. N.p., n.d. Web. 18 Nov. 2016) We also have the option of voting for Donald Trump “a republican who is a real estate developer, television personnel, and author.” (The 2016 Presidential Candidate’s Political Stances." ISideWith. N.p.,

With the massive popular support behind such presidential candidates as the businessman Donald Trump and the democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, one must consider why it is that such relatively extreme candidates garnered such mass approval. One view concerning this situation is that a certain dissatisfaction has grown in a vast number of American citizens in regards to how American politics has been operating as of late. With changes in society being viewed as both necessary and slow coming (if at all) under the current administration, one can conclude that there is surely some rational sentiment behind the desire for a presidential candidate that will operate differently than what has been dubbed conventional in politics. Yet, there is also a wealth of rhetoric both from Trump and Sanders which has tended to be vaguer when it comes to the details of implementing plans while instead appealing more to one’s emotions for a positive response. With the popularity that was enjoyed by both candidates, it is clear that fairly large portions of the population are currently rather susceptible to passionate appeals which, in turn, is an indicator that avenues such as social movements could be ripe for being taken once more in America in order to express concerns that are otherwise seemingly falling on deaf ears within the established, conventional political system. This is further highlighted by the claims that it was because of the system in place and power of elites in the system

When observing the text of Sander’s announcement for the Democratic Presidential Nomination (2015), his speech was broken down into specific platforms: Income and Wealth Inequality, Economics, Citizens United, Climate Change, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Raising Wages, Addressing Wealth and Income Inequality, Reforming Wall Street, Campaign Finance Reform, Reversing Climate Change, Health Care for All, Protecting Our Most Vulnerable, College for All, and War and Peace. After going through each section, the terms selected were capable of reflecting his proposition or judgment of his specific proposition (Weaver, 1985). More specifically, demonstrating his stances on issues and were ones that recurred frequently throughout his speeches.

I found these articles about the Pursuit of Profit extremely interesting and intriguing. All of the individual articles worked to provide a deeper understanding of how the Renaissance led to a rebirth in economies. This is something that I had not thought a lot about previously. I found the first article by Bendetto Dei interesting because he paints an odd picture of Venice. He continuously mentions the flaws of Venice and why it is not as good as Florence. I saw where he mentioned that Florence had something that was better than anything Venice had, “the trades of wool and silk.” These trades were mentioned in lecture as Professor Cassen talked about the immense importance of wool and silk in Florence. The second article, by Arnold Von Harff, seemed intriguing to me because it mentions the
