Analysis Of ' The Shape Of The Modern World '

Devinatz focuses the article on the similarities between the new president elect, Donald J. Trump and the 1968 election of George Wallace. Devinatz informs the reader that while Donald Trump’ presidency was an event that took the nation by surprise, mostly white union members voted for Trump just like they voted for Wallace because their campaign strategy was similar. Devinatz exclaims that Wallace used comparable rhetoric to Trump’s to get the crowd on his side at rallies, the rhetoric they both used was racial rhetoric. Wallace and Trump used the racial fears that immigrants and people of color would take the white Americans jobs to get the votes and gain political power. The overall argument Devinatz is making is that presidential canidates

The September 27, 1960 New York Times reported about the first televised presidential debate. The vice President Nixon and Senator John F. Kennedy face each other. About 70 million American viewers

Within the past few months the American people have witnessed violence from Isis and ultimately have fallen into a state of fear and confusion in regards to the safety of the nation. In response, Presidential candidate Donald Trump feels he has the capability to “make America great again” (Berman). In Russell Berman’s article “Donald Trump’s Call to Ban Muslim Immigrants,” he discusses Trump’s plan to address the issue: a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” Because he is afraid of more attacks occurring in the United States, Trump stands up for these beliefs even though many people believe they are words of prejudice. Trump is not the only person who acts with prejudice when scared. Playwrights Arthur Miller

The invention of the television has changed the world and especially the US tremendously. What once was just a dream became a reality; people could be together watching the same event in real time, something that could never be achieved before. Although this invention of the television had many great aspects and improvements in the lives of the American people, it also changed the political landscape negatively, making image over substance important in Presidential elections, creating an intimacy with leaders and celebrities like never before, as well as giving rise to the credibility of influential media. One major impact of television on the political landscape was the shift of focus from political issues to the image and appearance of the candidate. As seen in Source C, the Kennedy-Nixon debates, one of the first debates shown on television, clearly was influenced by TV and the images created by its invention.

The political debates amongst Nixon and Kennedy assume a gigantic part in TV history, and the historical backdrop of America. It formed the way that we run our political races today. The politics debate being aired on television enabled individuals to see the character and activities of both candidates. During these televised debates, various viewers saw Kennedy's self assurance and how well put together he was. But then on the other hand, Nixon had a harder time and gave off a frightful vibe to the viewers who were watching the debated. Individuals who watched it on TV felt Kennedy won the debate, while the individuals who tuned in to the radio felt Nixon won. This point is important, essential, and identified with television

On September 26, 1960, John Fitzgerald Kennedy met Richard Milhous Nixon in the first nationally televised presidential debate in American history. The candidates clashed on a variety of domestic issues, including education, infrastructure, health care, and economic policies. The audience was unprecedented in size. Approximately seventy million Americans watched the debate. By the end, Kennedy was a star. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike lauded his poise, confidence, and charisma. On the other hand, viewers criticized Nixon’s haggard expression and sweaty countenance. As it turns out, television had the greatest influence on these perceptions. Those who watched the debate overwhelmingly asserted Kennedy’s clear victory, while

Last year, Yiannopoulos was permanently banned from Twitter for his role in a campaign of racist, sexist harassment directed at Leslie Jones, a “Saturday Night Live” cast member. When Twitter suspended his account, Yiannopoulos denounced it as “cowardly” and declared himself a martyr for the cause of free speech. Twitter, he said, was “a no-go zone for conservatives.” The tacit admission that Yiannopoulos sees targeted abuse of a female African-American comedian as “conservative” is revealing, if only in that it strips away the fig leaf of euphemism separating the alt-right from the hive of racism and sexism that defined last year’s Presidential election. That it was the Berkeley College Republicans who invited him to campus further supported this association. No chemistry department would extend an invitation to an alchemist; no reputable department of psychology would entertain a lecture espousing phrenology. But amid the student conservatives at Berkeley—and along the lecture circuit where he is a sought-after speaker—Yiannopoulos’s toxic brew of bigotries apparently meets their standard for credibility. And this recognition is as big a problem as anything he has said in his talks or in his erstwhile existence as a Twitter troll.

Published by the New York Times under the Opinion section, the audience for this article is any interested reader. At the time it was released, November 18th, 2016, this article arrived during last year’s elections, in which a large, but surprising number of Americans voted for candidate Donald Trump, shocking many forecasters who had predicted otherwise. Therefore, after the election, many people may have been researching the demographics of the election, and this article, which briefly shared Brooks’ opinion on the nature of the election and how viewing others through the lens of a dominant identity influenced how the votes fell where they did, may have caught a keen reader’s eye. Also, this article came at a time where racism and prejudice caused many problems, leading some to view others as one-dimensional, represented only by a skin color or religion. Since prejudice and hate is still a large issue today, tackling this problem helps make this article relevant, nearly a year after its release.

On November 15th, 2016, in the opinion-editorial, I’m not in the Mood for ‘Unity.’ At The End of the Day, Trump’s Still a Bigot, Leonard Pitt, Jr, an acclaimed Black American liberal columnist for the Miami Herald, asserts that Donald Trump’s presidency is irreconcilable with American democratic values and that there is no unity with bigotry. Pitt challenges the conceptions Americans must “heal” and “come together” to concede to Trump’s victory in the presidential election; he establishes Trump as “fundamentally unsound, unserious, and unfit” and refuses to “cooperate in normalizing a man who stands for everything American should not.” Pitt argues that Americans must mobilize together through protest and support of activist organizations in

To follow, she then goes on to indict this movement of people in power who support white-nationalism and ALT-right mentality, and have large social media followings or immense public influence. In this report, Clemmitt included names such as Stephen Bannon, Richard Spencer, and even United States President, Donald Trump, accusing each of normalizing radical hate-speech, and encouraging blatant acts of racism, anti-Semitism and neonazism, and white supremacy. By observing that the white nationalist movement “thrives on controversy,” Clemmitt has revealed yet another similarity between historical and current discrimination; the lack of seriousness taken by these leaders, or moreover, the lack of political correctness. Of course, there are other tactics leaders use to gain supporters, but fascist leaders very often achieve control by speaking preposterously and attacking the norms of the government and society, without fear of whom they may offend. The radical phrases used by certain leaders are almost comical, and seem to poke fun at the system that granted them power in the first place. This has been important for

With the inauguration of Donald Trump rapidly approaching, there has been a much needed resurgence of interest in the progressive movement around the country, as well as an awakening to the need of an actual revolution by more moderate liberals. The Republican sweep of all levels of government indicates an all too familiar conservative backlash against the social progress that has been steadily building over the last eight years. Historically, this has ultimately led to the empowerment of emboldened racists and bigots of all ilks, which we are presently seeing.

No campaign in the history of presidential runnings has ever been the same. Yes, past campaigns and presidential candidates have shown their similarities between each other, but none has had the same events occur. The major variable is time. Society has shown a history of changing ideals and appeals. Each year, slowly but surely, society’s view is shaping and shifting. The presidential candidates know this factor and have to change with society to gain their social appeal. Within this time shift, we can analyze past polls and outcomes of primaries that have shown to be somewhat misleading.

After a long history of toying with the idea of running for election, Donald Trump’s announcement speech this June was enough to get the nation talking. Not only because he was finally making good on a decade’s worth of promises, but also because his offensive declarations were unprecedented in the world of ‘P.C.’ American politicians. Trump’s claims of Mexican rapists, drug lords, and criminal cartels flooding over our borders seemed completely outrageous coming from a man running for President. Accordingly so, it wasn’t long before the Trump campaign
