As people were not able to have a “connection” towards the candidates, they felt outcaste to what was really happening. “One of the great contributions expected of television lay in its presumed capacity to inform and stimulate the political interest of the American electorate. (Source A)” It also decides on whether or not the network company decides to broadcast certain interviews the way they were interviewed. All the potential is there for television to help inform the American public with the promised contributions to the country. The news source needs to help make the broadcasted presidential debate more about the issues and less about the image.
I always felt that there should be rights given to the people for a political change and I observed this in United States government and considered this as a major change which would definitely bring a lot of change in Indian government if they could implement this. When I moved into United States Obama took charge as President for this country and the prime area where he started to concentrate was the spectrum of political attitude in the people and eventually in the society. After seeing the current government which had a lot of influence on my mind in terms of politics I felt that I should never hurt anyone by being too liberal and felt that the people should never be imposed of any rules or regulations in the society. I started learning very quickly that change and values are the basic concepts for a deeper analysis of people in the society and a progressive proposed change would definitely bring a great and positive change in the thinking of any individual in the society. A progressive change means a change in the society from something old to something new and different for the betterment of the people in the society.
Jess Seng Mr.Nassida AP History 15 April 2012 Liberal or Conservative Liberals and Conservatives have some really unique qualities to them. Liberals tend to lean more towards Patriot ideals such as the rejection of nobility and organized religion, as well as the right to life, liberty, and property. Conservatives, like the Tories, believed there should be minimal, gradual change in the country and they supported monarchies. FDR and Hoover might not show signs of all these things, but the main ideas of each still linger in today’s political parties. The idea that Hoover was a Conservative and FDR a Liberal are in fact completely correct.
Television has had a negative effect on presidential elections since it became an important factor in televised debates. Before television played a crucial role in the elections, candidates were not judged as much by looks but more by their political views and ideals. When in the 1960's televised debates made it easier for more Americans to get information on the candidates, it has also made the elections a image contest. Elections used to be about who had the more popular political views and ideals. Now that television is playing a crucial role in elections candidates not only have to sound good but look good too.
There are many people who may ask, “What is really the difference between the Republican, and Democratic party?” Some will give the most common answer; Republicans support the rich people, and Democrats support the poor people. That simple answer hardly gives me a complete answer. I want to know more about how the Republican and Democrat are different. The Republicans and Democrats have different beliefs about many things, such as: the economy, education, and national defense. I know that I don’t want someone running the country that we live in until I know a little more about them.
Many of the new colonies were settled people who faced religious persecution for their beliefs in England. And I think as our country grew, many immigrants were drawn to our country because of its religious freedoms and diversity. Our democracy guarantees that no one can be treated differently because of their religion. Right now, we have a Mormon Mitt Romney running for president and we have people of different faiths in government. Sometimes there is still prejudice but overall all that we have freedom of religion that really is a great tool to help our country be
Television was the alternative to knowledge that the author used in Fahrenheit 451, but why? It was the form of media which can arguably be considered the most popular way that the government controls what we see, and the things that they want us to think. Now, with that theory there are two sides: The government, and the people who believe what they are doing is incorrect. McLuhan and Montag are similar in that neither of them agree with the government. They agree that our society is best run with the freedom to disagree and record the findings for another individual to build upon.
Using these advertisements CNN was trying to make you think that they care about decreasing violence with their own ad, and with this article, but they also had an ad for martial arts which I could see as being in support of gun control but it still is kind of promoting violence. You do not see too many people who are very in to martial arts and things like that but do not support the second amendment. I also think that CNN was trying to relate to people who have the same beliefs as much of CNN does with these advertisements because with the exception of the fashion, home, and beauty ad they were all appealing to a traditionally liberal
Assignment One In Miles Benson article, Political consultants tailor candidates’ message to what the voters want to hear, he has several opinions and views on how political consultants, opinion polls and negative advertising affect how politicians want us to feel, react and ultimately vote. It seems that research has discovered that if a politician talks in platitudes he has a better chance of getting himself or herself elected. Being specific seems to detrimental because too many questions are asked. Bill Hillsman, a media expert said that, “obviously, a candidate seeking votes is going to emphasize shared concerns and issues that are popular. But all too often political leadership simply means finding out what the people want and telling them you’ll give it to them” (Benson A3).
Republicans would like to use them to fight terrorism while democrats feel by doing this or fighting wars such as the Iraq War we are just creating more animosity between our country and creating more terrorists. The author explains in the first chapter how our gun laws are not in danger as some people think but are in fact becoming too loose. I feel that as citizens we need all the arms we can get in case of a land invasion or the government becomes too strong or try’s to become communist. Why does Jimmy Carter say this? He says this is because revolutionary changes have been taking place in our domestic and foreign policies, affecting our moral values.
