about the growing nationalism of America and not about increasing regionalism” (Arrington‚ 1984‚ p. 247). The argument that these manipulations can take place is therefore predicated on a misinformed understanding of how these types of elections can have an effect on the priorities of the various individuals and interested parties who are taking part.

No matter who the people in the culture are or the era in which they live in‚ there has always been abusive customs that are accepted. To challenge these fired up mindsets would be going against the grain. A prime example of this is in the short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.
