In my opinion this article was written with bias-based and under the groupthink fallacy. This is a typical stance for the FOX network and their staff. The author is suggests that everyone in the country is upset by the president 's choice. There is certainly an agenda in this article. There is also an undertone of Nationalism within the article because of the condition of…
Donald Trump’s call to “Make America Great Again” has polarized the nation, and is a very current and relevant example of corruption and violence infecting a modern revolution. Although unlike his liberal counterpart Bernie Sanders he hasn’t actually called for a “political revolution,” Donald Trump’s radical policies would be just as much of a departure from traditional American politics. He calls for the deportation of millions of illegal immigrants, a wall on the Mexican border, a ban on Muslims, and for companies based elsewhere to bring their jobs back to the United States. Ever since Trump gained the national spotlight he has been criticized for his Trump University scam and inciting violence among his supporters. When Trump University…
This began a series of events that would shake the public’s confidence in its most visible symbol of American authority and prestige: the presidency” (Task List, 2013). In the midst of turmoil, deceit, scandal, and America’s outrage; bouncing back in a time of chaos was tumultuous.…
Despite the assumption that the United States has attained full democracy, there are still many incidences of biases. The main motive for Banaji Mahzarin R. to write the book was to bring to light the biases that people keep in their minds or brains as well as showing how those bits of knowledge about individuals and about their skin color, education, age, and religion can manipulate behavior.…
While the Constitutional Convention created the constitution, they also had many agreements and compromises along the way. They had made the Great Compromise, the ⅗ Compromise, and the Electoral College. While some did do good, it did not create equality.…
After the events of September 11th 2001, many Americans were shook to the core. It was difficult for many to understand why such a horrible thing would happen to so many innocent people. It was especially difficult for many to understand that America, a nation that they saw as practically invincible, could be vulnerable to multiple severe attacks. I personally believe that September 11th and the following events have led to attitudes of stronger pride and patriotism in many Americans, and that has led to an even further ethnocentric America. The following paper will discuss these events, some of the reasons why they may have perpetuated an ethnocentric attitude and in what ways, as well as attempt to discuss in what ways these attitudes can be dangerous and how they could be combated.…
The author should have researched the history and the geography to show the audience that poverty and inequality are the primary reasons for these two riots to occur, as analogical evidence. The author should use better evidence to support the reasons for riots to occur in particular areas because of poverty. The author explains the psychological reasons for why people riot based on substantial evidence. The article contains strong testimonial evidence that a large crowd had caused people to participate the 2011 English Riots. The author used published research from psychologist Chris Frith that emotional contagion is an unconscious mechanism of transmissions between people, which brings people forming a strong alliance. The author used this concept to support that riots occur when social contagion becomes higher than an emotional state, and many people show synchronized behaviors. Also, the author explains large crowd gives anonymity to many people. For instance, social media had brought people made a safer decision to join the 2011 English Riots. Today, the use of social media has brought many people participating similar events, including the 2017 Charlottesville Riots and the Berkeley Riots.…
Each day society is becoming more and more violent after Donald Trump was then president elected now 45th president of the United States, people went crazy and felt fervor. However, right now, Trump is not the problem, it is the people turning on each other creating hate and negativity. Trump has debilitated people from what they are/was fearing then promising he can “Make America Great Again” even though it was never bad, to begin with. Recently, the Violence Protests Donald Trump on his Inauguration day, January 20, 2017, with over 200 people arrested. “Black-clad activists among hundreds of demonstrators protesting Donald Trump's swearing-in, clashed with police a few blocks from the White House, in an outburst of violence rare for an…
During these day, President Trump is the hottest topic since he won the election because his campaigns cause many arguments day by day. He is the first president who took many changes in American economy and politics even though there are many people think otherwise. The most unbelievable order is on Jan. 25, when President Trump signed an executive order to construct a wall along the United States' southern border is inflaming relations between the United States and Mexico, strongly affects to American politics and economy, and damage to the environment; and so, in my opinion, his decision is just ignorant and wasted.…
Donald Trump won his presidency over Hilary Clinton, winning the electoral vote but losing the popular vote by around 2.9 million votes. Knowing that the majority of Americans did not want Trump as President, it would make sense for Trump to handle the office with care, and work to gain the trust of the Americans who did not want him as their President. In the short 48 days since Trump has been President, it is safe to say that he does not care about the opinions of those who did not vote for him and those that did vote for him. He signs executive orders and appoints nominees without consideration. He makes every move based on his priorities, and not the rest of America.…
“We need a leader , not a creeper tweeter!” This was one of the many chants that roared through the streets of Washington , just one day after Donald Trump’s inauguration. I can still remember the hazy morning and the fog covering the top of the Washington Monument. As I looked around I could see all the proud men and women chanting and marching as they throw their fists and signs in the air. The day after the inauguration thousands were in dismay that Donald Trump was actually the president. The person who would be controlling the country for four years or more. People wanted to voice their opinions but they didn’t know how to. So they decided a march would be the perfect way to show how they felt. Teresa Shook made a Facebook Event Page calling for a march in Washington, the next day she had over 100,000 responses. Teresa stated, “I didn’t think the page would get this much attention.” She couldn’t believe it . Throughout the years, many people have struggled to have the…
In the 1930’s a large economic crisis struck America as the stock market crash. The stock market crash threw the world into a depression, but it largely impacted America and Germany the most. The people during that time called it the Great Depression, and has been known as such ever since. During the Great Depression, millions of people lost their jobs, causing emotions of shame, guilt, and anger especially among the white male community. The minority groups that also lost their jobs became the scapegoat that majority groups could direct these emotions. Hispanics and African Americans were often accused of stealing jobs and welfare to the point where drastic actions were taken. Among those drastic actions…
How would you feel if almost one million immigrants came into your country and created overcrowding, spreaded diseases, and took your job? In the early 1900’s, many Americans had to deal with this when 650,000 immigrants came from all over the world entered the United States between 1895-1905. The immigrants came from all over the world for several different reasons. As a result of all the immigrants, Americans developed several hopes and fears about these newly arrived immigrants. The immigrants came for many reasons such as to get economic relief, while others came to escape religious persecution. The people that had hopes about the immigrants were the people that liked the immigrants, such as politicians, businessmen, and government officials. The people that had fears about them did not like the newly arrived immigrants, such as citizens and health officers.…
Shah Rukh Khan says he knew Donald Trump would win. He watched the presidential debates while he was in Europe, but was at home in Mumbai to watch the election. He gave up when Florida swung red. “There’s always been a cycle for liberalism, intellectualism and populism,” he says. “I think the cycle has turned around the world. Here was somebody who was speaking the language the populists believe in, and maybe now is the time for that populist point of…
Racism can be found throughout the United States, from government to schools and even churches. While most would say that Obama was elected because of dedication to public service, intelligence and a great campaign, others would argue it was more than that that got him his presidency. With everything the U.S. was experiencing from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, increasing unemployment, People were reaching for any kind of change that could have made a difference. Since President Obama came into office there has been a 400% increase of threats since President George W. Bush, reaching the highest number of threats in history (Chelala, 2010). This can be mostly contributed to the race of president Obama, while threats against the president are common due to policy and beliefs there are many groups whom do not wish to have a black man running the country.…
