Analysis: Jeb Bush Wants For More Civility In Our Government
In this article, Jeb Bush says he wants more civility in our government and reinforce its presence as a world leader at the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference. During this conference Bush wanted to create a contrast between him and Donald Trump by not only calling for greater civility in our government but also in life. This article was not useful for my essay because our prompt was not to compare and contrast the candidates but rather the media that portrays the candidates.

    The West Wing: Compromise And Political Idealism

    In the acclaimed 2000s TV show “The West Wing,” which fictionalizes the daily battles of American politics, senior staff members in the White House scatter from issue to issue, disaster to victory, and most often, from meeting to meeting, where the staff negotiates and renegotiates their political strategy. Trumpeting idealist and liberal American values, “The West Wing,” written by Aaron Sorkin, also underscored the necessity of compromise, with White House Chief of Staff Leo McGarry remarking that “Compromise is statesmanship.” However, it is this trafficking of compromise, and all its murky implications, that is most often criticized in modern American politics. Political…

    Cornell W. Clayton's Essay Analysis

    Cornell W. Clayton argues that rather than addressing incivility, Americans should focus on the “substantive sources of political conflict”. This would change the entire tone of the conversation because there would be no incivility mentioned in his essay. Most of his essay is showing the reader about the incivilities that had happened in the past. Clayton informs the reader that incivility can be ended, and Americans should focus on causes of division today because it will effect the future. The tone of the conversation would be very different. It would be more positive than negative because there will be solutions for causes of divisions. He writes, “I dislike uncivil behavior, and I believe it says more about the louts who engage in it than…

    Amst 301

    Description of assignment: Compose an anthology of thirteen quotations drawn from the materials assigned for the first three sections of this course (Parts I, II and III). The anthology will consist of a preface, short commentaries on each quotation, and a conclusion. The anthology should be governed by a theme (or a set of two topics aligned to the concerns of the first four sections of the syllabus) that offer a way to unite together the diverse materials for this course. The best anthologies (those that will receive an A or A- grade) will be ones where the theme enables the student to inquire into the complexities of American culture and where both the structure and content of the midterm manifest democratic thinking (i.e., examining an issue by looking at it from multiple points of view) and integrative thinking (i.e, finding similarities or making syntheses between separate, diverse voices).…

    2004 vs 2008 Elections

    In 2004, the Bush Jr. vs. Kerry campaign showcased different points of views that resonated deeply along party lines. Bush’s conservative view highlighted national security, a strong moral code, and less government in business. His “War on Terror” and the recent uplift in the economy struck a deep cord with other conservative (right-wing) voters. On the other hand, his opponent Kerry’s liberal view emphasized more government, opposition to the war in Iraq, and economic issues. Bush was successful in positioning himself as a decisive leader who responded swiftly to the attacks of September 2011. 1 He portrayed his opponent John Kerry as a “flip flopper” and one who was incapable of protecting the American people. Americans vote for the candidate that best represents their point of view. With that said, those who focused on terrorism and moral codes sided with Bush. In contrast to those who were concerned about the war in Iraq, and economic challenges such as jobs and health care sided with Kerry. 2…

    Abramowitz Polarized Public Analysis

    Over the duration of this course, we have also been undergoing our current primary presidential election race, as Abramowitz has expressed in “The Polarized Public?” the polarization, the divide, that separates individuals as well as certain groups of people from each other and their beliefs has been evident in these debates. Many such as Fiorina and his coauthors may express the situation to be on the contrary, but Abramowitz even mentions that Fiorina fails to acknowledge that in Americans today “sorting by party is actually an important contributor to the growing ideological polarization among the public and especially among the politically engaged public” (pg. XV, Abramowitz, A.), it is evident that…

    “in Praise of the ‘Wobblies’” by Ted Gup

    “in Praise of the ‘Wobblies’” by Ted Gup

    When involved with debates of any subject, there are always those people who never really seem to know where they stand. Throughout most of Gup’s life, he found himself flexible on a variety of opposing arguments. He states that he would linger in the ‘no man’s land between opposing arguments’, and wished to be drawn to one side, but found advantages and disadvantages in both. When he grew to accept his ‘confusion’, he realized that people like him are needed for the world to function. He, along with others like him, act as a bridge between opposing arguments, and without them, different groups would be completely divided. He believes that every argument needs a few ‘wobblies’ – those who don’t know where they stand – to hold the common ground. In our lives, there are always people around us who seem to know exactly where they stand, and don’t hesitate in making everybody in the general vicinity aware of it as well. It always seems that no matter how the conversation begins, it always gets drawn to the familiar subjects, whether intended or not. People who are very certain of where they stand can be drawn into conflict by the smallest of issues. This is especially true during election years. Being a liberal in a broadly conservative school, I agree with Gup, saying that we need the in-between people to keep a balance between arguments. When the level of certainty is high, it’s always good to have a few wobblies around. Wobblies show that strong opinions often get the better of us, and we shouldn’t focus so much on what divides us. I agree with the author’s opinion to a large extent. I, like the author, do not have a strong stance when it comes to certain topics such as political issues. And that is okay with me. The writing in this piece is very well done which makes sense because the author teaches journalism at a college. The author uses several good writing techniques like a well formed and obvious thesis in the first paragraph and excellent word choice. Words…

    Tension City

    In this book, Tension City, Jim Lehrer is the interpreter for all the debates of the presidents, governors, and the nominees for the campaigns. I want to talk about the debate between George H.W. Bush and Geraldine Ferraro in 1984. Ferraro had reasons for not looking forward for the Vice President debate. Ferraro went to the Vice Presidential debate with her knowledge of world affairs. In fact, her talk about world affairs made a major moment in the debate. Bush had criticized Carter 's handling of the Iran crisis and Ferraro knocked Reagan 's response to the marine barracks bombing in Beirut. I 'm going to talk about the differences between the lifestyle of George H.W. Bush and Geraldine Ferraro.…

    How Did American Politics Become so Polarized?

    For over 60 years, there has been a profound separation in the United States government. The main source of division is between the Democratic and Republican parties. These parties are said to be polarized parties. In this case, polarization is when political parties stand for a different position depending on certain topics. The United States cant seem to come to an agreement with anything because these parties are on two totally different pages in almost every aspect of the government, spending, racial and social issues, war and law just to name a few. The differences between these two parties has caused the government to go into an uproar. The question that stands in front of us is how did American politics become so polarized, and can this polarization lead to changes in the American system?…

    Analysis Of Donald Trump's Speech On Muslims

    In this project, which satirized Donald Trump’s speech on muslims, our group’s goal was to bring light to Donald Trump’s atrocious behavior. His recent speech about muslims being the source of America’s problems is similar to many of Adolf Hitler’s speeches, where he blames members of the Jewish community for all of Germany’s problems, post World War I. Trump’s attitude towards muslims is very reminiscent of Hitler’s early attitude towards jews, and Trump’s tyranny must be stopped before it begins. As James Madison said, “The means of defence against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.” Trump’s means of defense against foreign danger are truly the instruments of tyranny. Therefore, Trump must be given no quarter…

    Political Polarization In America

    During the first weeks of class, students learned about what political polarization is. The authors from Political Polarization in American Polarization see America on a level where polarization is increasing, especially in the state legislature. However, authors from Culture War? would disagree, saying that America is not becoming more polarized, rather political activists are the ones who are polarized. The Frontline documentary “Divided States of America-2” provides insightful information on the process of America becoming more polarized. After class discussions based on assigned readings and watching the Frontline documentary, one can come to the conclusion that America is polarized to a certain extent. Political activists and politicians make America polarized, but uninformed citizens contribute little to the polarization that…

    Personality and U.S. Presidents in the 21st Century

    The presidency of the United States is arguably the most important position to hold in the entire country. The president is the figurehead of the country; the person people look to for reassurance and the person they blame when something goes wrong. Of the forty-four presidents that our country has seen to this day, each of them has their own distinct character and personality. Some will argue that the personality of the president shapes their performance in office. One of these people is James Barber, author of the book The Presidential Character. In his book, Barber makes an argument concerning the impact of personality and presidential performance. He believes that the character of the president matters above all, and through his system of personality types, citizens will be advised in choosing the right president through some clear criteria.…
