The Occupy Wall Street Movement

, or even creating songs like "the Eight Hour Day". Soon after that the works started to arrange marches through the middle of down town. Nearly 100 thousand workers marched through the middle of down town chanting about the eight-hour day. Once the workers started to organize at this scale the police started to panicked on what to do. In their minds they couldn’t find a harmless solution to this problem.

Although political parties may cause contention between Americans, parties are critical to the success of our constitutional system because parties provide party labels and mobilizes the voters by increased the participation of the common people. Political parties create conflict by making it difficult for a common man’s voice to be heard. Because there are only two political parties, it makes it difficult for individuals with different points of view to be recognized. However, for the same reason, only having two political parties is beneficial because it allows politicians to mobilize the voters. Politicians go about this by promoting Americans to be involved in the political process.

Duterte presents himself as the crusader that goes against media and other political heads calling them out as corrupt people or the elites that are the enemy of the masses and that he is the righteous one to the people. Yet the issue of populism is not how this method is used, but how it’s used for. Political ideals that are righteously wrong that are used to make the population believe or perceive as their right, twisting the true intention of these politicians to make the populous believe that they are on their side. Professor in School of Public and International Affairs Cas Mudde would answer on populism being a political issue, “Yes, populism is an important feature of contemporary politics, but not all anti-establishment politics is populism and populist parties are not just about populism.

This has outraged many people across america and they decided enough was enough. They want to challenge the second amendment, and put stricter gun laws in place to help prevent more mass shootings. So schools and students decided to work together to design a day for students to protest. They decide a walk out on a certain day at a certain time would suffice.This however created a problem of if you stay in school you 're pro guns and if you leave you’re anti-gun this caused problems. Many did not like the idea of picking sides in an issue that is very complex.

The bombings only confirmed what the Americans had feared. Tensions escalated and the government jumped into action by arresting many people who were believed to be “unpatriotic”. These arrestees were held for long periods of time, denied representation and visitation from friends and family, and beaten and treated inhumanly. The United States was willing to take any precautions necessary to keep communism and communists out of the government and the country. Many Americans grew to hate immigrants because of the Red Scare.

Whenever violence is used the high moral ground is lost. The major goal of The Days of Rage was to stop the Vietnam War. They thought that the way to do this was to create mass action. They wanted to end the violence of the war with more violence. Instead of ending the war they just created a lot of damage to the city and got arrested.

Current day, it has little relevancy since it was originally included to address also issues that do not exist anymore, including not trusting the decision to be made by the American people. When originally founded, they wanted to ensure the President was decided by electors who had the knowledge to make what they felt was informed decisions. Now, many people feel as though too much power is given to the electoral votes, and that their vote does not mean as much as someone in a different state. As it stands, many feel that small states are largely misrepresented and given too much power since the votes are not divided equally among the population. In fact, if the Electoral College system was not in the Constitution, it would undoubtedly be removed due to it being unconstitutional, because using the electoral votes violates the principle of one-person, one-vote.

This of course is predicated on the belief that the public’s opinion will influence the actions of their representatives in Congress since representatives want to be reelected. In modern use, particularly with television and looser campaign finance regulations, Presidents now are more sending a message to party leadership or interest groups, letting them either take up the issue in Congress or mobilize the people. Of the powers a President has, the power of influence; especially in modern, media-driven society, is paramount. Although another aspect of Presidential power is the idea of executive privilege, or being able to keep all conversations the President has private. This is perhaps one of the more controversial powers given to the President because it begs the question of how a President can be held responsible if the people don’t know what they are doing?

It is basic psychology that people usually align themselves with news, friends, and sources that confirm their beliefs, which is confirmation bias. Political parties rely heavily on confirmation bias especially from the news because the media usually discuss issues related to a two-party system as opposed to issues based on merit. The political parties view this and use it to their advantage because it divides the debate into Republicans versus Democrats. As Kim from IVN mentions a study from the Pew Research

Americans strive to fight for what is right. Americans who vote will vote for the candidate who shares the same political views as the voter. It is fascinating how unconsciously Americans, as voters, oftentimes forget to take the time to contemplate why the candidate that shares the same views as us is right. Political parties have led us as a nation through dark times, such as the Great Depression, they serve as a vital lifeline for our government. Without any political parties there would be not representation, voting would become exceedingly complicated than it should be, our government would change entirely.

The antiwar movement in the U.S. has all but vanished. Whatever once existed is now a shell of its former self. Sure, there are various individuals and paltry organizations who continue to speak-out against U.S. imperialism, but they are isolated, powerless and lacking any meaningful exposure in the broader American political landscape. To be clear, this didn 't happen overnight. When I first became involved with the movement, back in 2006, organizers routinely told me about the days and months prior to the March 19 bombing and invasion of Iraq, when hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized in opposition to Bush and Blair 's criminal war.

The main criticism that “the current two-party system gives too much power to the extremists in each party” (Wheelan, 2013, para. 2). When people are chosen by the party to run, in many cases they represent the extremist views held and become the mascot for the party. The current system is skewed so moderates, the people some say are essential to politics, are not chosen because they do not represent the party strongly enough. These extremist candidates help to discourage education of the intricacies of individual issues because voters are forced into accepting how the party views the issue, due to either voting due to the candidate 's party affiliation, or being forced into choosing the extremist that comes closest to their own personal beliefs.

Andrew was a strong believer of what they stand for and always participated in their meetings and peaceful protest. The Sons of Liberty started only about a few months ago, however they are already playing a major role in battling against the Stamp Act. They take the protests of the British taxes to the streets, where they burn decks of cards, newspapers, magazines, and legal documents. The Sons of Liberty use intimidation to get the tax collectors to quit their jobs. Not only has the Sons of Liberty taken action, but so has others colonists.

In Egypt the government could and would kill people in the streets and arrest people without reason in order to keep the people from having too much freedom. The people were afraid of the government because there was always a chance that the government could attack them, beat them,

56). We can witness this phenomena in political campaigns where the voters obtain messages about the campaign from different sources. So, these very anti-immigration messages can either support the voters belief that US has a lot of illegal immigrants and the government should do something about it or make the voters feel that immigrants are not as bad as the media or politicians portray them to be. So, the biggest challenge for Donald Trump is to spread his message on immigration through any media source in such a way that it either strengthens the voter’s prior information about immigration or make them support strict immigration reform. This challenge, however, may not matter much because the voters are getting a constant exposure to news about immigration since he is always addressing the issue and there are always crime-related news in mainstream American media.
