For as long as humans were on the planet, theories have always been made. Theories have been made in order to make sense of a fact and determine how it could possibly be used. A rising theory however can be biased due to the fallible nature of us humans, even experts are subject to this. As a result, disagreements arise since there will be different interpretations of the fact. Different cultural backgrounds and our ideologies affect our interpretation. Firstly, it is important to define what a fact is and then to specify it to a discipline: the natural sciences and …show more content…

Currently a popular dispute between people is the presidential elections in the United States of America: who truly won the presidential debate: Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton? The debate was broadcasted so everyone could see it so why does the disagreement arise? Many democrats agree that Clinton won due to her being able to keep her poise and deviate from topics that she felt uncomfortable with; an important skill needed for debate. As a result, Trump lost from their viewpoint since instead of talking about major issues in the US, he interrupted and “lashed out” on Hilary. On the other hand, republicans argue that Clinton was robotic and that her responses were rehearsed. While Trump managed to control the debate, Clinton was overly smug with her responses. According to David Millward because Trump managed to avoid a “melt-down,” from the Republican’s viewpoint, this was a victory . As a result, depending on which party you’re from, the interpretation on who won the debate is influenced. This recent debate leads to similarities in events that happened in the past, your cultural background and political viewpoint affect how you view the event. Generally causing them to have a conformational bias and an appeal to ignorance. So what differentiates an expert to an individual is their ability to piece a story of two different sides to build a true timeline of

    There was a belief in the past that elections resolved big debates in the country and could be turning points of what the public thinks about the issues. But this did not transpire in 2012 and Balz sees the future of elections to be more of the same: he expects that they will be predicated on hate of the opponent divided along demographic and party lines, not the merits of the candidates and their policies; he predicts social media and technology as a whole to grow in importance and scope; and he believes debates will become more important while becoming less and less about the issues and more about

    During the second GOP debate Jeb Bush wanted an apology from opposing running mate Donald Trump because Trump made some rude comments towards immigration and Bush’s wife, who is from Mexico. This is bad media and one should be avoided because this is a very trivial matter in the presidential race. However, when using digital media it easy to get off the article and find a better more informative source.

    Extra Credit: CNBC GOP Presidential Debate CNBC’s GOP Presidential Debate this year was held at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the moderators focused their questions greatly on the economy, current national budget, tax reforms, immigration policies and their disagreements with the Democratic party. The Republican candidates that participated in this debate included Ohio governor John Kasich, former governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, Florida senator Marco Rubio, business man Donald Trump, retired surgeon Ben Carson, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, Texas senator Ted Cruz, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, and Kentucky senator Rand Paul. With tensions growing between candidates and political parties, I feel that the moderators for this debate seemed to personally attack the candidates when questioning their reasoning behind their answers.

  • Compare And Contrast The Election Between 1800 And 2016

    The elections of 1800 and 2016 show a similarity in the way each party attacked each other. Many people think that the 2016 presidential election was the worst for mudslinging that there has ever been. However, if we look back to the presidential election of 1800 between Jefferson and Burr, we would see very similar picture. In the 1800’s, the candidates and their political parties would use their influence with the media to spread lies and misinformation about the other candidates, just like they did in the 2016 presidential election. It seems the media of today has definitely chosen sides just like they did in the 1800’s.

    The turmoil, upheaval, and controversy of the 2016 Trump election is a significant current event of the modern world, but this landslide election is not the first in America’s history to raise such conflicting opinions. The Revolution of 1800 was another shift in political history that impacted not only the candidates, but majority of the public. The defeat of John Adams to Vice President Thomas Jefferson led to the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party rule and the eventual demise of the Federalist Party. Often in politics, opposing views, scandals, and negative publicity plays a role in the election process, due to this, in both the 2016 election and 1800 election negative criticism from both parties was evident. The 1800 and 2016 elections

    After watching the Democratic debate, it was obvious that the debate was nothing less than the Hilary Clinton’s show and the other candidates are just there to make her look smarter and more qualified to lead this country. Personally, I think this will be an easy nomination win for Clinton unless the remaining candidates develop better positions and begin to talk specifics about what they believe will help make this country a better stronger for

    Everyone has their own opinions on different topics. Some arguments may be more clear than others, but they exist. Some debates on arguments should end, but people always find a way to argue the other side. For example the argument on student debt has been going for a long time.

This debate was a very important for many of the candidates campaigns because they are now approaching the “make-or-break point” of their campaigns (Diamond). Only a few candidates rose to the occasion and gave a strong performance that could boost their standings in the polls. Other candidates did not leave very happy from the debate.

  • Democratic Party Debates

    I believe that, yes it would have an adverse effect on a presidential election because the more debates a democratic party or republican party has means that the public and other party members have time to learn about the candidates and the issues that candidate supports. For example if a person like Donald trump which is on the republican party goes outside to a lot of debates and shows he’s not afraid he could outshine his competition in debates and even win more votes over the democratic party that has its main runner Hillary Clinton at a disadvantage with less debate time. Yes debates influence candidate selection during elations because the person decided who to vote for knows the side they want, and they know what that candidate thinks

Clinton’s speech had a very specific goal of showing the audience that he was humble and sorrowful, and garner sympathy and forgiveness so that the president could continue holding his status. Clinton used many techniques and his own charisma and personality to drive the speech to be as influential, and be as memorable, as it is. Its masterful use of language and the careful presentation created a lasting impression that Americans today can reference when discerning what is really being said when a politicians
