Examples Of Realism In Political Parties

216 Words1 Page

As the presidential election quickly approaches, it is easy to see ideas of both Liberalism and Realism in political parties. With Donald Trump making promises of stricter immigration and giant walls, a large movement of people believing in power and self-preservation now seek to "Make America Great Again." This example of Realism stands in direct opposition to Hillary Clinton 's liberal message of peace and unity. I mention the election because it often makes me question how such contrasting beliefs can exist after 200 years as a sovereign state. What caused the world to become the way it is, and what will dictate what it becomes in the future? I believe that it can 't be explained by human nature or domestic policy as realists or liberals

Realism explains how the pursuit of power dictates the behaviors of states and the policies which they push. Given that there is a net amount of power, the prevention of another state, in this instance Russia, from gaining power inherently increases the power of all other states while at the same time escalating the security of said states.

    The extreme partisan polarization and the hostility between Democrats and Republicans that we see in Congress is the product of a long evolution starting in the mid-1960s that has rendered the system a low-functioning machine. In her examination of how the ideological gulf now separating the two major parties developed, Sinclair offers some insights into how today 's intense partisan competition affects the political process, lawmaking and national policy.

    500 Words  | 2 Pages

    In modern America, rumors of government shutdown, debt, and the seeming inefficiency of the government to make decisive changes has given more credibility to the anti-federalist argument.
