Due to the fact that there is a direct correlation between the candidate who spent the most money on their campaign, and the eventual winner of the election, suggests that whoever spends the most money on their campaign will ultimately become president. In 2008 Barrack Obama won the election after spending over $750million on his campaign. John McCain spent $370,000million, less than half of what Obama spent. Over $425million of Obama’s money went towards the media, when you consider the fact that McCain spent under $130 million on the media it is clear that Obama was in the public eye a lot more frequently, therefore the average voter would have been constantly hearing positivity around Obama in the newspapers and on TV, and less about McCain, meaning that they would feel more inclined to vote for him as they have a greater idea of who he is and what he is doing. This suggests why Obama won the key swing states, Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Pennsylvania.

al. (2004) analyzed how randomness played a role in the distribution of populations based on three characteristics – race, class, and life cycle – across various geographic levels. Segregation was measured as a value of randomness using a Theil’s H scale, where 0 was a value of complete randomness and 1 as completely intentional. The authors specifically focused on the cumulative four decade change of segregation across different geographical levels. It is important to note that the choice to analyze census data from 1960 was intentional, since it marks the onset of the civil rights movement as well as a decade following the onset of federal Housing and Highway

In 2012, Ingham County was home to 281, 723 residents according to the United States Census Bureau. The historical data of Ingham County up to 2010 shows an upward trend of poverty from 14.63% in 2000, to 20.58% in 2010 (usa.com). In Ingham County 11.5% of people make 10, 000 dollars or less a year which is considered extreme poverty, while 10.7% of people make 30-40 thousand dollars a year (usa.com). This may not seem like a high number or people who live in poverty or are struggling depending on the number of people they are supporting, but compared to the 2.5 percent of people who earn 250, 000 dollars or more in Ingham County, the percentage difference is to be a big difference. My biggest focus on Ingham County is the child poverty

Researchers, supported by Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Pfizer and Time Warner, conducted 2,952 surveys of working-aged men and women and gathered qualitative and quantitative data to conclude that many Asian-Americans, whether immigrant or native born, find it hard to "fit in" the upper management ranks. The projected percentage increase between 2008 and 2050 in the population of people who identify themselves as Asian in the United States will increase by one hundred and sixty-one percent, which compares with a forty-four percent increase in the population as a whole over the same period of time. There will be approximately forty million United States residents by the year 2050 that identify themselves as Asians and hold about nine percent of the population in the United
