Is the explanation for 1996 that it was a ‘forgone conclusion’ sufficient to explain why half of all registered voters did not vote? Did any social group vote less than their registered voting number would indicate? The 2000 election could not have been considered a foregone conclusion, and yet just about 50% of registered voters took part in that election. Are those groups traditionally associated with either party still safe bets after the showing of both parties during the Lewinsky scandal of 1996 when both parties have displayed serious errors of judgement and where a neutral observer might identify that partisan party politics seems to be a priority above what is best for the country as a whole? The Democrats appeared to have won over those middle/upper class people who did very well out of the economic boom seen
• In 2011, the percentage of lone parent family children is higher than in 1996, and the percentage of ‘couple families’ children is lower than in 1996. This would suggest that there are more lone parent families in 2011 than there were in 1996. • The approximate ratio of ‘couple families’ children to ‘lone parent’ children in 1996 is 4:1, whereas in 2011 this is reduced to approximately 3:1. Word count: 157 Part B Consider two different types of household and, by using one example, describe how a decision made by government affects the flow of money between government and each of these households.

This comparison will be between the best state and the worst state. The most surprising fact for each of these states is the gap between minimum wage and the hourly wage needed to afford a two bedroom apartment. The gap in Connecticut is $13.46 and the gap in Texas is only $8.47, yet there are 333,603 more homeless children in Texas than in Connecticut. While it is imperative to keep in mind that the population in Texas far outnumbers that of Connecticut, it is still an interesting connection to make. To break down the population difference we can also note that the percentage of homeless children in Connecticut out of all children is only .43 percent, while Texas reports 5.2
Fliers and newspaper ads are effective as well as word of mouth, and also contacting your local radio stations to help sponsor your business is a must. Make local churches and charities aware of your services, even if they don’t provide a medical service and send out information to food banks and utility assistance programs; anywhere low-income and uninsured people are likely to be. A great way to save money instead of costly advertising is to get some friends or relatives to volunteer by visiting different agencies to explain how opening a free clinic would benefit so many people. Although, this facility will provide quality, comprehensive medical care with the same dignity and confidentiality as a private sector does. It will serve as a non-profit organization to people who are trying to improve their lives but do not have medical insurance or the ability to pay for medical care.
The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society 1) According to Kozol, how does illiteracy undermine democracy in the United States? Do you agree with him? Illiteracy undermines democracy in the US because most illiterates don’t vote. I agree because Kozol claims 60 million people in the US are illiterate which is about one third of the population. If one third of the population isn’t voting it cant be a true democracy since the needs of one third of our population aren’t getting met and their voices are unheard.

It is also estimated that White Non-Hispanic Americans will be less than half the population at this point with 46.3 percent of the population being that race. Hispanics however are estimated to be 30.2 percent of the population, that's exponential growth within the next four decades! Who knows the impact this will have on our society and culture as well. With White Non-Hispanic Americans being less than half the population we are becoming a truly equally diverse society. Due to the diversity of it's people, the United States has some challenges to face in the coming years.
Jeff Doyle Sundol WRC 1013-11 1 Nov. 2010 Are Poor Americans Actually Poor? The number of Americans in poverty today is rather shocking. There are currently thirty-seven million Americans who are classified as being "in poverty" (Rector 2). Many Americans are classified below the line of poverty, but in retrospect to the rest of the world, Americans seem far from poor.
