The United States of America’s 2016 presidential election result, has brought fear among many different groups, such as the women’s rights activist, and women in general. Instead of feeling protected by their country, these women are worrying whether their inherent rights will be a thing of the past, or something that will continue to be primitive with modernistic liberal ideologies. In the 21st century, the rise of feminism has taken its toll on misogyny. However, before feminism, history and other countries today, show how misogyny has lead and continues to belittle women. Due to this oppression, women in certain countries and in history, have not had the power to control their own destiny. The idea of not having control over one’s autonomy, comes as a frightening thought, and an idea that has been fought for decades. With the 2016 presidential election, this is a thought that has cast an overcloud on the results of this presidential election.With the now anti-abortion president-elect Donald Trump, there are women, with some sense of equality, believing they run the risk of no longer having control of their body. Women compared to men, are then put at an inherent disadvantage when it comes to making decisions in regards to their own bodies. Not only does this disregard the steps made by the American society towards equality between men and women, as a group of men make these decisions, but it disrespects a woman 's autonomy.

A presidential candidate is very similar to an actor. They both perform through employing various strategies around their body language, tone, and diction to grab the attention of the audience or voters. Their performance creates an impression on the viewer, which for the candidate, is very critical to his election outcome. Therefore, candidates prepare for every debate and public appearance to create a certain impression to try and entice the voters. However, when a candidate prepares for a debate, they run the risk of appearing rehearsed. Presidential candidates should rehearse in a way to attain and maintain an appearance of sincerity to obtain the votes of Millennials, who recently overtook Baby Boomers in the number of eligible voters. Americans, especially Millennials, want to believe that the candidate is giving an honest response, not a rehearsed one. Millennials want an impression that the candidate is trustworthy and listens to their concerns, or in other words, a sincere presidential candidate.
In this essay, I will compare and contrast the recent top two candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as it relates to the presidential election, along with my opinion and views regarding what recently took place as of November 8th, 2016. It’s no secret that this election has been the craziest thus far. Not only for the first time has a female candidate made it this far in an election, but we also got to witness the shenanigans that took place leading up to the election, majority of which came from our very own, Donald Trump.
This year the presidential elections will take place at the beginning of November, and there are lots of people wondering how this is going to end. Some candidates for these presidential elections may not have been the best choice for their respective parties, but the one that really shouts, “I should not be here” is Mr. Donald Trump. His personality and actions are not the correct ones for a president because of his temper and comments against other cultures. On the other hand, we have Mrs. Clinton who is a more competent candidate; she has more experience on the field of politics than Mr. Trump who has none at all, which are the reasons why she is a better choice as a candidate and as president of the U.S.
In our culture, girls become women at the average age of 12. The right of passage is bloody underwear and feminine products that never seem to fit right. This means, as children, women are given a heavy responsibility: the ability to create a human life. While straddling childhood and adulthood, we are meant to learn how powerful that responsibility is and how to protect our bodies from experiencing it too early. Yet, in our culture, girls are sent so many different messages on how to accomplish this. The message sent loud and clear today is, “your body does not belong to you.” Through all the blood, tears, and sacrifice . . .my body belongs to my government and will be treated however middle-aged white men see fit.
As we know, 2008 is the big year for everyone in the United States. The presidential election in 2008 was the most racially diverse in U.S. history, there were almost one-in-four votes cast by non-whites. The presidential election in 2008 bring the surprise result for all of the people in U.S. Barack Obama became the first African-American elected president of the United States, and Joe Biden became the first Roman Catholic elected vice president. I think the record of voter participation in 2008 U.S presidential election is the anomaly. Obama won a decisive victory over McCain, He was winning in both the electoral college and the popular vote, with 365 electoral votes to McCain's 173; There was the largest percentage of popular vote for the Democrat since B.Johnson in 1964. Obama's win in obtaining a major party's
The 2016 primary election has been the most intriguing in modern history, mainly due to one candidate; Donald J. Trump. Before he won the general election, President-elect Donald J. Trump won the Republican primary. Since the day he announced his candidacy by riding down an escalator in Trump Tower, pundits and politicians didn’t seriously believe he had a chance. As the debates were held and the primaries went on, it became apparent that he had an actual chance of winning the nomination. The Republican primary showed that there was an anger toward traditional politicians, an anger which Donald Trump tapped into. The rise of Trump also showed that the old rules of what was acceptable to say do not apply any more. These and other factors lead me to the conclusion that the Republican party lost control of the 2016 primary election and failed to choose its eventual nominee.
The 2016 presidential elections have proved to be one of the most controversial elections in over thirty years. In less than a month, Americans and U.S. citizens will gather to vote for their next President who will serve them for the next four years. Nevertheless, what make this election so contentious are the candidates who have both had their fair share of flaws. Donald J. Trump, an extremely successful businessman, television host and now the official Republican nominee, has in the past made lewd remarks about women, races, religions, countries, etc. Hillary D. Clinton, former Secretary of State and United States Senator of New York from 2001 to 2009, and the official Democratic nominee, has proven to deceive the American public by denying
The two questions identified above cannot be adequately answered alone without one influencing the other because a campaign that influences the election of the most powerful position in the world is a public event. However, after months of predictions of a too-close-to-call contest, Bush won nationwide balloting making him the 15th president elected to a second term and the first to win both a majority of the popular vote and the Electoral College since his father in 1988. The GOP also extended its majorities in the House and Senate.
The presidential election can be a stressful, intimidating time for America. Arguments and opinions erupt constantly for months while America decides on who the next best candidate will be to run the country, especially for the 2016 election. Friction between the Republican and Democratic parties have been intense, and the candidates running for the 2016 election have been causing a lot of tension. The two candidates for this year’s election would be none other than Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. Considering each candidate 's ideas for dealing with issues such as America’s economy, healthcare, and immigration, my vote would go to Donald Trump.
Presidential debates in the Unites States are a hot topic around the world. Even though American voters have the role of choosing the next president, people from many different countries tend to heed interest in the elections, due to the fact that the president of the United States has such an influence in locations around the world. People rely on the media to obtain factual information about the presidential candidates, their political stances, and interests in foreign affairs. The fact that information about the presidential candidates can be distributed worldwide by the media is wonderful. Even though this sounds wonderful, it is possible that statements during the debates, or results from them, can be portrayed with bias by the media, or even censored. So, there is a possibility that the interpretation of the American presidential candidates, by people around the world, may be altered after a debate. This change could be influenced by the debate itself, or by media releasing information about the debates. This will be performed by showing the effect debates and media have on voters in the United States of America, academic journals regarding censorship in Russian media, and ultimately comparing the results of several of the 2016 presidential debates between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, portrayed by the pro Hillary Clinton American News source, the Los Angeles Times, to Russia’s pro Donald Trump Pravda Report.

June 16 2015 is when Donald Trump formally announced his candidacy, and also the day the United States lost the world’s respect. At no point during any election have Americans witnessed a presidential campaign as radicalized as Trump’s. For decades, the United States was always known as the promised land for the American Dream, but suddenly that all changed. America was no longer referred to as the land of the free due to this result of this presidential election, which revealed the other side of the United States society. Trump’s campaign was based on everything that America went against such as racism, hate crimes, religious segregation, and sexism. After the results of the 2016 presidential election, we see Trump’s victory as a gateway for norms of racism, hate crimes, religious segregation and sexism to be allowed in America.
November can be considered as one of the most brutal months of the year. Depends on what year it is, there is a chance that you will argue with someone at the dinner table when it comes to politics or the presidential elections. One thing we need to remember is that everything will be okay no matter what.
In 2016, the end of the Obama administration but the beginning of someone else’s, who will it be? In the 2016 presidential race there are seven candidates, five republicans and two democrats but only two will win their respective party nomination. The Republican candidates are Donald Trump, an entrepreneur, Ted Cruz, a United States Senator of Texas, Marco Rubio, a U.S. Senator of Florida, John Kasich, Governor of Ohio, and Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon. On the Democrat side the running candidates are former First Lady, Secretary of State, and Senator of New York, Hilary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, former U.S. Representative and sitting U.S. Senator of Vermont. As of March 1, 2016, only three of the republican candidates have a fighting chance of winning the party nominee, Trump, Cruz, and Rubio.
Since the late 19th century, women’s reproductive health choices in the United States have become increasingly controlled (Solinger, 2013). Abortion, contraceptives, sterilization and even pregnancy itself have become biological processes (Foucault, 2003) that place women in the public eye; their choices becoming the targets of policy and regulation (Solinger, 2013; Foucault, 2003). When these regulations are crafted, the assumption behind them is that they will affect all women equally (Pruitt & Vanegas, 2015). However, there are various factors that change the way that policy and regulation of reproductive health affect women. My dissertation topic will focus on how biopolitical control of specific groups of women is achieved through broadly applied legislation targeting reproductive health. This includes legislation that targets access to abortion, defunds reproductive health care access providers such as Planned Parenthood, and that further medicalizes birth. My theoretical frameworks will center on the work of Patricia Hill Collins and Michel Foucault.
