He has been the slinger of arrows, responding in kind to the broadsides of Donald J. Trump — or at least trying to — and assailing Marco Rubio’s Senate attendance record during last week’s debate.
Maybe all that taping of CSI: NY caused Hill Harper to miss the popular memo de stereotype: Young black men don't read. So devoting 173 pages of words to them probably isn't the smartest idea. Then again, actors aren't exactly known for smarts are they?…
This can be seen as an attack on front runner Jeb Bush, who is expected to announce record breaking fundraising totals in the next quarter. Bush is the candidate backed by the establishment, another thing that Cruz is crowing about not having. If Ted Cruz gets his way, then people will be seeing him as the grassroots, Tea Party David going up against the establishment, billionaire-backed Goliath of Jeb Bush.…
The population of the show portrayed its success in the relational effect to the majority of the American in the contemporary society. The middle white class also accept this "Hillbilly" stereotype because they view it as something that's exclusive to that "kind" of person. Dean even says that the more successful Americans believe that "these fools haven't crawled out of the muck because they don't want to", as if poverty was their choice. The "hillbilly" stereotype also includes the borrowing of African American culture that often turns into racial mimicry. For example Hank Williams, a key figure in the development of country music, learned to play his guitar from a black street performer. The stereotype was accepted among the middle white…
"He plays on fear — exploiting base instincts of xenophobia, racism and misogyny — to bring out the worst in us, rather than the best. His serial shifts on fundamental issues reveal an astounding absence of preparedness. And his improvisational insults and midnight tweets exhibit a dangerous lack of judgment and impulse control."…

Stereotypes are generalized traits that people assume about a group of people. In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird stereotypes are used frequently with how different families act, and also how different races appear to others. In the book stereotypes are important when Harper Lee makes the Ewells portray the stereotype for “white trash”. During the trial for the raping of Mayella Ewell this becomes very clear when she writes, “ No truant officers could keep their numerous offspring in school; no public health officer could free them from congenital defects, various worms, and the diseases indigenous to filthy surroundings.”(Lee 227). Lee made this family the stereotypical “white trash” family because it shows the true…
Bernie Sanders has lead the poll in New Hampshire and Iowa, according to CBS News polls Sanders has surpassed Clinton by 10% in Iowa, and 22% in New Hampshire. He claims to be a Democratic socialist, for some that’s a red flag in this “self-made” society. But apparently this is not the case anymore. There has been a lack of belief towards Sanders, even though he shows leading the polls, people believe he won’t make it to the White House. Although, Sanders supporters are extremely enthusiastic, with all the media focusing on Clinton and Trump, Sanders has made himself a symbol for the American people. He is not extremely wealthy unlike Clinton and Trump, and he is not accepting super PAC. In other words, he is competing against millionaires…
Pretend you are driving along on the highway. You see a person on the side of the road having car problems. This is person is wearing an Armani suit and driving a Porsche. The next day, you encounter the same incident but, this time, it is a man wearing baggy jeans with holes in them, a dirty shirt and he looks very unclean. Would you be more likely to stop for the man in the Armani suit, or the the second man? I know that I would stop for man #1. The reason I and most of our society would do so, is because we have a horrible habit. The habit is unintentional and we do it not meaning to hurt anybody This habit is stereotyping people by the way they look or talk based on what society considers normal. In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Scout, Atticus and Tom Robinson are victims of being stereotyped by others. Each has to cope with being stereotyped. Scout and Atticus have the ability to change their ways in order for people to respect them, unlike Tom Robinson, who is stereotyped as a mutant to the town of…

In the novel World war z, I chose the character Whacko; he was the former president of the United States. He is a diverse Republican however; he is implied as being a Howard Dean that is a Democrat even though he points out that he once formed a bi-partisan ticket with Colin Powell that was a republican. It is obvious that the president and the vice president must come from the same political party. This is to mean that then even the former president popularly known as the “Big Guy” must have been a republican. Being the successor of the George Bush, he was responsible in cleaning up of the mess that was brought about by the Iraq war. This is prophesized that even in the end times, there would be war, where nations will be fighting each other.…
George Walker Bush was a very influential man in Texas politics. Not only would his family's endeavors in the oil industry bring development to Texas towns and cities, his Governorship would shape politics in the region for the next decade. He takes great pride in having been raised in Texas for most of his life; he speaks in a very cheerful, but very down-to-earth tone that many can identify with. Calling himself a “compassionate conservative,” George Bush led the way for reforms in many different areas.…
As a simple physics concept “Entropy” states, everything has a tendency to go to the state of disorder, including a group, a society, or a country. Thus, in order to prevent the “Entropy” from happening, a leader or central force is necessary. In this case, which is for a country, a president is needed. I would like to present the candidate I chose, Jeb Bush. Jeb was born in 1953 in Texas and he went to the University of Texas, Austin. He was able to obtain a B.A. Degree there. After his graduation, he went to South America to work, then he came back and moved to Florida in 1980. He started his real estate career there and was quite successful in the field. Due to his extraordinary deeds, he was named the Secretary of Commerce in 1986, then he became the governor of Florida in 1998. He was successfully re-elected in 2002, thus made him the first two-terms Republican governor. I consider Jeb Bush as a powerful candidate for the U.S President in the 2016 presidential election based on his family background and political experience,…

Mr. Carson is a devote Christian and the first surgeon to separate conjoined twins. From the article that was published, the writer Charles M. Blow wrote about the different lies that Ben Carson has been caught in lately.…
There are certain stereotypes about libertarians that hold some truth. Many people who followed this movement, do so only to advance a personal agenda and do not follow the whole ideology. There are a couple of people in this group who only use the label “libertarian” just to agree with Democrats and Republicans. Also, some individuals joined just so they could spout anti-government hate. For example, Alex Jones associated himself with libertarians just so he could get attetion to his cause. He runs an entire news channel on misinformation or scare tactics so he could influence other people to follow him. This group is known to also have a couple of nut jobs here and there, but at the end of the day, it should not take away from their core principles for which libertarians stand for.…
Celebrities are stereotyped in many ways. People say that they have the latest in technology, they are stuck up, they always get away with their bad behavior, they always wear fancy clothes, they are all selfish, and they are all rich. For example, super bowl officials say Beyonce's list of demands stretched so far, being so absurd there was no way they could accommodate her. The list included $6,000 of imported cigars for her husband, Jay-Z, to use as she performed and that baby Blue Ivy’s got a $233,000 carriage to be flown in on. Some people stereotype celebrities as irresponsible and can always get away with their bad behavior. They think this because many celebrities seem to escape jail easily. In my age group the majority of people think…
