Tides of Consent Paper

Finally, consent search very supportive to police officer when they get consent to search the person property because instead of having the police officer getting warrant they can just search specific place for instances like a truck of a vehicle. For example, Strauss, Rebecca. Author of “We can do this the Easy Way Or the Hard Way: The use of Deceit to Induce Consent Searches." States, “Once the owner agrees to the search, the police have received consent to search any area in his home where they reasonably may find evidence of the crime they claimed to be investigating. Consent search is like general warrant fails to meet the fourth amendment particularity requirement because it to general. Strauss, Rebecca also states, “Like general warrants,

When George Washington was elected President in 1789 by members of the fledgling United States of America, he was setting into motion a tradition that has stood the test of over 225 years - the presidential election. Even as the United States has seen dozens of wars, made hundreds of scientific advances, and selected thousands of politicians to seats everywhere from small town councils to Congress, the principles of the election have remained the same; the people band together to determine who will best protect their interests at home and assure that the US will always remain on top in foreign policy. Oftentimes, this is found to be a difficult decision, as public opinion is constantly wavering. One sees this in action particularly during the 1992 election - a battle of wills between Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Ross Perot; complete with lead changes, major vote swings, and Perot’s unprecedented initial success - ultimately a false alarm to the bipartisan establishment.

Jay Van Bavel’s 2016 article addresses an important and relevant issue: voters’ deeply divided perceptions of presidential candidates. According to Bavel, approximately 70 million viewers tuned in to watch the final presidential debate on October 19, 2016. In theory, one would be valid in assuming that while processing such an event, everyone should be experiencing the same reality—all are watching the same debate, hearing the same words said by the same people. Strangely, however, this is not the case: in reality, Republicans and Democrats concluded the debates with drastically separate conclusions on the candidates. According to a CNN poll referenced to within Bavel’s article, Hillary Clinton won the first debate, with 67% compared to Donald Trump’s 27%. However, a further examination of these statistics reveals an obvious divergence between the democratic and republican parties. According to democrats, Clinton won (89% to 5%); according to republicans, Trump won (54% to 28%). Why is there such a great divide when both parties were presented with the exact same information? People do not see the world objectively—without the influence of personal biases. Instead, people reinforce the goals and values of the partisan group they identify with, allowing the party’s views to color their perceptions of identical information (Bavel).

The legacy and lessons of Truman’s whistle-stop campaign continue to be studied by political analysts, and politicians today often mimic his campaign methods by scheduling multiple visits to key states, as Truman did. He visited California, Illinois, and Ohio 48 times, compared with 6 visits to those states by Dewey. Political scientist Thomas M. Holbrook concludes that his strategic campaigning in those states and others gave Truman the electoral votes he needed to win (61, 65). The 1948 election also had an effect on pollsters, who, as Elmo Roper admitted, “couldn’t have been more wrong” (qtd. in Karabell 255). Life magazine’s editors concluded that pollsters as well as reporters and commentators were too convinced of a Dewey victory to analyze the polls seriously, especially the opinions of undecided voters (Karabell 256). Pollsters assumed that undecided voters would vote in the same proportion as decided voters — and that turned out to be a false assumption (Karabell 258). In fact, the lopsidedness of the polls might have led voters who supported Truman to call themselves undecided out of an unwillingness to associate themselves with the losing side, further skewing the polls’ results (McDonald, Glynn, Kim, and Ostman 152). Such errors led pollsters to change their methods significantly after the 1948 election. After the election, many political analysts, journalists, and historians concluded

Presumed Consent had its positive effect that which can truly benefits the community in developed country. Both of the positive effect on the community are increasing overall organ donation and reducing crime rate in the community.

There is a social taboo attached to not voting in the general elections. Despite this at this time, there are many forms of encouragement to vote, and many voters are motivated by the ridicule method. The title of The Root’s Article (October 8th, 2016), “If You’re Not Voting in This Election, You’re Ridiculous”, demonstrates the social pressure found in general election voting. Since there is a large population of voters who feel ignorant towards the information presented in the primaries, there is less buzz surrounding the primary

Public opinion an invisible sledgehammer that can dismantled and shake any politician foundation. Public opinion that played a decisive role in the United States’ commitment to the conflict in the Vietnam War. If it can sway our country’s actions in war, it absolutely can sway the reactions of our congress and President. An essential element of the moral center of gravity for any conflict is public support. (105, Military Review)

There are several ways the public’s opinion can be influenced about Congress and their performance. One of which is the general low repute garnered by politicians as a class (Logic pg. 269). With how often we hear about politicians having to do with scandals involving money, sex, drugs, and general corruptions with the political deals they make, it’s no wonder why politicians as a whole have such a bad reputation. Looking at how the public views Congress on the graph, Figure 6-10 within “The Logic of American Politics”, we can see that except right after the terrorist attacks in late 2001 Congress on average has an approval rating well below fifty percent. Other factors that influence the public opinion is how Congress decides on topics. One is where if parties compromise then no one is fully satisfied with the legislation equaling average approval ratings or if neither side agrees creating a stalemate then both sides are angry because of the political gridlock of the partisan bickering (Logic pg. 269). This leaves little for politicians to be able to do to satisfy the public and create a positive opinion towards Congress as a whole. As we can see with the Vote Spotter Application the public is never unanimously on the same page so whatever decision the legislator does make will decrease some of the public’s opinion towards him. And with this application brings one of the more visible influences that control the public’s opinion about Congress and their performance is the overall media. Whether being social media throughout the internet, news stations or articles within newspapers the public has a vast amount of information at their fingertips about Congress and how they are currently performing. While most of the information throughout the media can be biased for whatever political party they are affiliated with, there are some

In James N. Druckman’s Priming the Vote, he asserts that nowadays numerous academics presume that voters’ choices are essentially molded by campaigns. For decades, traditional wisdom recommended that campaigns had little to no influence on voters. Druckman insists that numerous academics have noted a relationship between campaign differences and overall distinctions in voting conduct. Some academics propose investigational proof that certain rhetoric can influence a voter’s choice.

In 2016 we experienced one of the most negative campaigns in the history of the United States. According to a study by Harvard’s Kennedy School, the tone was more negative than any election since 2000. According to Karp and Banducci’s findings, the negativity should have had a positive effect on turnout among partisan voters. However, according to turnout data the 2016 election resulted in fifty-seven percent turnout compared to

Since the Vietnam War, the public's opinion has played major roles in how policymakers operate. Their opinions may not always support to choices which are best for the country, however they are still factored into the decision making. Richard Sobel discusses several cases on how the public's attitudes have affected policymaker's decisions in his book, "The Impact of Public Opinion on U.S. Foreign Policy Since Vietnam."

Your critique of the bar graph was brief and insightful. While the bar graph is clear and precise in showing the differences in sources used by voters to gain information about the different presidential candidates, the author indicates a discrepancy in the manner used to collect the data. Specifically, the critique pinpoints the main drawback of telephone surveys, which leads to a biased

On November 8, 2016, the United States was filled with mixed emotions from the outcome of the presidential election. For many, the results of the election were shocking because the candidates in this election were so different. The final votes were very close, but the results showed that Donald Trump would be the next President of the United States. When looking at the election, people focus on the how many votes their candidate received. However, many people do not look past just the vote itself. By this I mean, they do not realize the sociological concepts that play into the election. By looking at the election from a sociologists’ standpoint, there are many other important factors that contribute

The crux of this article was in its ability to lay a groundwork for the often inharmonious thoughts, backgrounds, and beliefs of voters when they go to the polls. The paper shows that when these come in conflict with each other, voters most often fall back on previous voting habits to find direction at the polls, and it is this correlation that so heavily influences the habit forming nature of voting. They therefore discount the standardized recounting of habit formation in voting, and instead place their model on the pedestal of truth in this venture. The authors belief is that there is more going on in this scenario, and yet it is conversely simpler in explanation: voters are conflicted and therefore fall back to previous points of clarity and surety. This article was tremendously valuable by merit of its deviation from the standard literature on the subject, and empirical analysis of the data, as well as data collection.

The past year election was one of the most controversial elections I have seen. Even the polls got the winner wrong. Since I have been in this country I have never seen a poll prediction that has been so far off even the day of the election. In the next couple of pages an attempt to explain what went so wrong with the polls. From the new era of cellphones, to hidden voters who lied to the pollsters. To them not counting uneducated voters because they are less likely to vote. Three lessons that we learned this past election and one of the most important to me is to remember that predicting the future is very hard. That no one can have 100% prediction.
