Amekeco Brooks Jr. The 2016 election was driven by the fear, nostalgia, and bias of the American people, but was it rigged? The President-elect, Donald Trump, felt the election was rigged against him. That idea is nothing more than a baseless theory of Mr. Trump. To rig an election would be no easy task and mistakes are rarely made.
Press: Crazy, Stupid Love” by Maureen Dowd and published in The New York Times. The article used irony to illustrate the way that President Trump changes his view on a subject or his hypocritical tendencies. He often contradicts himself and the article presented two recent occasions in which he contradicted himself or was a hypocrite. The first example was when Dowd said, “spews a constant stream of wild assertions based on anonymous sources - blustered that the press “shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name.’” (Dowd)
The last website that was analyzed was the social media outlet called tumblr, which often has portrays and displays a lot of incorrect and uneducated information, which is the ideal location to find biases. Tumblr account holders basically tore Trump to shreds. They took quotes and information from is statements and press releases and turned his words against him, making him look arrogant and dumb. Another topic that was highlight many times, was Bernie Sander’s reaction and claims to Trump’s campaign, stating that, “I [Bernie Sanders] look forward to beating Donald Trump – I would enjoy that race very, very much”. Many of these claims and slanderous statements directed at Trump were mainly based on opinion and very little fact, but all of these posts represent people 's reactions to Trump’s statements from previous days, which are well known to be offensive and
Katha Pollitt, in her essay, “Marooned on Gilligan’s Island: Are Women Morally Superior to Men?” addresses the topic of how difference feminists actually weaken women. Difference feminists believe that women are morally superior to men. Pollitt was invited to sign a peace petition, but realized it was actually demeaning to women.
presidents have repeatedly led the country into many unnecessary wars to test and prove their core masculinity is highly exaggerated. In her treatment of psychopathic leadership, she identifies machismo as the primary trait of leaders. But there have been instances where even women leaders have been instrumental in leading their country to war. - She also cites masculine characteristics and irrational thinking as the primary reasons behind U.S. interventions all around the globe. But this cannot be the only reason for these wars.
It could ruin your reputation and make you look very bad. The media wants the best most scandalous stories they can get their hands on. If it’s a candidate running for president and they got their hands on one of the best scandals around, that candidate could lose publicity and it can definitely hurt the image of the candidate. Earl Butz got caught telling an offensive racist joke about Rolling Stones; it does not matter if it was on/off record. It can still affect anyone who says anything offensive or
It is weird that the country of freedom looks and minds at such actions, and it makes us think are they faking the freedom that they are always shouting for? It is true that what Colin Kaepernick did is disrespectful for his country firstly and himself secondly, but as a foreigner I have always heard that the United States of America is the only country where you freely do whatever you want. However, it seems that what I read in Ta-Nehisi Coates about the racism is so true; discrimination exists in the country of freedom. Moreover, what Donald Trump said about Colin Kaepernick when he didn’t stand while playing National Anthem, which is leaving the United States and finding another one is a shame for the country; as it always been the only country that welcomes all the people from different countries, races and religions.
But I hear you say some very rude things that the people of America would be very offended to hear,” I said. “Oh yes, they would,” said his body guard. “Oh no,” I said. “What is it,” said Mr. Trump. “My flight left an hour ago,” I said.
An American society sick and tired of political correctness, the vilification of manliness, countless degradations of the American culture and an insulting replacement of American values with foreign practices have catapulted Trump into the stratosphere. His strategy is simple. He has cast aside the careful and politically correct considerations of past and present candidates while attacking liberal agendas with accuracy and zest. The level of desperation for a candidate who is willing to face down the bias of media reporting, vicious attacks from the left and the failed promises of a party that is supposed to represent the conservative ideals of the majority, is both frightening and loud. Regrettably, the GOP has now joined the chorus of leftist assaults on
Much of the discourse from the 2008 media negatively framed Clinton, characterizing her as a shrew, harsh, and unapproachable. There are similar depictions of Fiorina, especially in the discourse surrounding her face. Donald Trump, one of the Republican front runners is quoted saying, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed to say bad things, but really folks, come on.
In light of the recent election, a concerning social evil is the treatment of immigrants in the United States, specifically those of Latino/a backgrounds. The mimetic process was a particularly useful tool for the Trump campaign, as Trump’s hyperbolic and ignorant statements about immigrants resonated with caucasian, middle class Americans who imitated his hateful rhetoric and turned words into action. In the mimetic relationship, an individual or a group is victimized because of violence. The cycle of violence towards immigrants in the Trump campaign began as verbal, but the ideas behind Trump’s words inspired hate crimes and the reemergence of the Ku Klux Klan, which further validated this insularity. The solution to the mimetic process is
“America’s Unjust Sex Laws” is an editorial published in the Economist that argues that America’s laws for sex offenders is too stringent. The author makes tenacious arguments that gets the reader thinking, however most of the arguments that were made I contest with. “America’s Unjust Sex Laws” argues that the sex offender laws in America are too harsh. It begins by discussing “Megan’s Laws” and the Adam Walsh Act of 2006 to describe the current sex offender laws. The author then goes on to discuss how large the sex-offender registry is in order to support their first point that harsh penalties shouldn’t be imposed for minor crimes.
The presidential debate is a terrifying and clear glimpse of what our future will consist of if we elect the wrong candidate. More specifically, electing Donald Trump as the president of the United States will be detrimental to nonprofit organizations and the sector as a whole as well. He is a man whose ideology is rooted in racism and inequality for women. Trumps inhumane stance on stop and frisk could create a rift in organizations that could essentially offset the way nonprofits service the community and interact amongst other organizations.
When filling out surveys or job applications, all Asians must check off the “Asian American” box regardless of national origin or place of birth, forcing a single classification on an extremely diverse group. This aggregated approach to understanding Asian American is not new, it has been present since the us versus them Occident-Orient approach that powered racism against early Asian immigrants. With the increasing presence of second and third generation Asian Americans, it is time to redefine what it means to be Asian American and to discover a new manner of framing the Asian American experience as unified yet diverse. The best approach to emphasize diversity is through stressing the national, socio-economic and gender differences within the Asian American
In 2015, 102 unarmed black citizens were killed unfairly by police, in 92 of those cases the police walked away without charges. Blacks are being killed at 5x the rate of whites and 3x the rates of hispanics, this is a serious problem. Colin Kaepernick (a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers) was the first to stand up against this issue, by taking a knee during the national anthem of multiple NFL games. This has brought huge attention to an overwhelming issue in America. It has also brought loads of controversy to people everywhere who are now taking after Kaepernick and protesting during the national anthem, some people say that this is disrespectful to everyone who has served in the armed forces because they are not showing pride for our
