opposing party look bad. The polarization of the American political system, parties and people themselves has worsened since this book was written but it can be alleviated. Political parties have become so extreme that work is not getting done and the bills that do get past committee and out on the floor for a vote are not passed but are put on hold. While I believe both parties are partially at fault with the Republican party carrying most of the weight. The polarization of the

had 44 different presidents and the 45th president is going to be decided in less than 2 months. The 2 main party candidates this year are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton is the Democratic Nominee and the wife of former president Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump is the Republican Nominee and have already been in the spotlight for many years as he is a famous businessman.

“I have zero desire, just so you know, to be in the limelight. I don't think it's good for the country to have a former president criticize his successor. You're not going to see me giving my opinions in the public arena until I start selling my book. I'm going to emerge then submerge.”¹The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the flight against the White House on September 11, 2001, made George W.

a largely televised speech following the 2038 terrorist attacks in his home state in which he coined the term “Iron Democrat.” Alden helped popularize the term and spoke publicly in support of harsher anti-terrorism measures. He sponsored multiple bills relating to this subject, one of which was famously signed into law by incumbent Republican president Thomas Brandt as the Surveillance Act of 2039. Alden’s congressional career was characterized by his loyalty to the concept of the Iron Democrat

Power and corruption seem to be words that most people would say go hand in hand. Why is this, though? Does power lead to corruption or is there some other correlation? Maybe it is powerlessness that actually brings corruption. Everyone to some extent is powerless; even the highest leaders are not absolute. Power is at all times up to question, as anyone could lose it with just a few events. Also the only way to be absolute in power would be complete world domination, which no one person has ever

find whole "political experience" question is often loaded.  It is a useful and facile way to "settle" a political argument.  When conversing with people who one disagrees with politically, declaring all politicians inherently bad is an easy way to gain "consensus" and be at liberty to criticize any candidate without appearing to disparage the beliefs of the other person.  It is therefore used so often it's become some form of "conventional wisdom".  But it's too simplistic.   I think the key issue

It began with policemen standing side by side and protesters ready to strike; came face to face. All around there were Ferguson citizens, each standing tall defending his or her respective sides. Protesters were holding signs with powerful words like “Black Lives Matter.” In a split second, havoc was reached

A team is a group of people who work together, apply each other's strengths and work on each person's weaknesses. Such unity and hard work can lead to victory, without it a group will not prosper and break under pressure. The movie Miracle and the book Bleachers are both alike but are more different when analyzed in chemistry, coaching technique, and success. Miracle is based on the true story of the newly formed United States Men’s Hockey team and their journey as they prepare to compete in the

Downgrading. That is this election in a nutshell. I have not felt more annoyed with politics and media outlets than ever before, since Donald Trump announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015 ,with those empty four words "Make America Great Again" , we learned that Trump is nothing, but a whining child that erupts on any ounce of criticism from either side. Why did he gain the support of voters with such minuet substance, like building a wall or banning all Muslims? I believe voters fell into the same
