...Netherlands after Adolf Hitler and his National-Socialist party came to power in 1933. This house is where they hid when the Nazi’s came to the Netherlands and anti-jewish measures were introduced. The Anne Frank House tells the story of Anne and her families lives and the ultimate destruction caused by Hitler and his extreme right-wing ideas. Upon exiting the museum, I passed the visitors book, where I wrote five words: “Donald Trump should come here.” The Oxford Dictionary defines the word 'trump' as an admirable or helpful person. Does that sound like a suitable word to be associated with such a right-wing extremist? Someone who uses racism to rise to power? Someone who proposes mass-deportation in order to make America great again? Someone who blames a specific group of people for all of his countries problems? Someone who has had no leadership or civics experience at all and is now running for President of the United States - one of the most influential positions of leadership in the world? No. I think a more suitable title for a man such as Donald Trump, should be Mein Trumpf. It is...

...There’s just a month to go before America goes to the polls. To my Americans studying at McGill, I advise you to read this life saviour before voting commences on the 8th of November. For the past thirteen months or so, we enjoyed the memes and mockery of the U.S elections. It was funny, we laughed for over a year, and of course we weren't impressed by the hectic comments made by the Republican candidates. On the other hand, we saw a glimpse of America's future with the Democrats. The first presidential debate was exactly what we all expected, filled with theatrics and ignominy. To the Americans at McGill, that cover 20.5% of our student body, the debate practically became the Super Bowl of politics, with an estimated eighty million viewers. When we witnessed the first debate, I was in disbelief that Donald Trump became the nominee, after all he is a sexist, racist and a bigot. Is America really prepared for the season premier of Keeping Up With America?...

...I believe that Donald Trump and I have the same taste of music. Obviously he loves the song “I know, you know” by The Friendly Indians. “I know you know, that I am not telling the truth, I know you know that they don’t have any proof.” He knows, we know that he isn’t telling the truth. But he got the last part wrong. We do have proof. He knows, we know that he just loves to grope women but won’t admit that what he does is wrong. He knows, we know that he didn’t lose the popular vote because of voter fraud intended to help his campaign opponent Hillary Clinton. He knows, we know that immigrants aren’t all to blame for the crime rates. He knows, we know that he isn’t telling the truth. We know, he knows he doesn’t have any proof. Gideon Resnick...

...controversial William Clinton. Newly elected president Donald Trump, a real estate tycoon, a billionaire, filled with the consumption of various professions and occupations, an open egocentric intent, takes the lead as the president of the United States and is viewed to be a barbaric president for many reasons and this is why. Donald Trump, a businessman, and a man who is not fit to be our leader should have never been considered to run in the presidential election as an acceptable applicant. Due to the fact that the United States is not a business and America ought to have a leader. One factor is due to Trump’s lack of political experience, which makes it uncertain for the American people. In what ways can Trump turn the US into a greater homeland when he can “pay for work” for whatever he requires? From the simplest jobs, Trump has the power to hire people because of how much wealth he possess. According to New York Times, Donald Trump’s Shocking Success, Donald Trump carries numerous offices at the Trump Organization, and in...

...“It comes out of a desire to win votes. And in that sense… It’s racism as a strategy...it’s the decision to achieve one’s own ends, here winning votes, by stirring racial animosity.” Ian Haney Lopez the writer of the book “Dog Whistle Politics”, a professor of law at the University of California, and an expert of racial justice in America, sums up what Dog Whistle Politics is. In the 2016 primary election, both candidates used dog whistles, but the most controversial candidate, Donald J. Trump, used as many dog whistles as he could. Trump used Dog Whistles in his tweets, speeches and conversations to win the 2016 Presidential race. In the 2016 general presidential election the winner Donald Trump presented a large amount of great speeches...

...2016 Presidential Election and the Role Racism Played in It The January 20, 2017 inauguration of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States will be recalled in future textbooks as an example of racism in the nation affecting politics. Throughout the primary campaign season, Trump did not carry himself with the respect that a politician should while running for president. Trump took a different route: he decided to inflame racist feelings throughout the nation in order to win. In this essay, I will argue that Donald Trump leveraged racism to win by provoking feelings of fear among some Americans. I believe that when people are afraid they will act and in this case, their actions enabled Trump’s presidential victory. Moreover,...

...Donald Trump has a very romantic brand, and I do not mean this in a love and passionate way, but rather in an ideal and persuasive manner which has been proven by his lead in most of the Republican primaries and caucuses, leading to his possible GOP presidential nomination. The brand that Trump has adopted for himself has created him a lot of enemies that do not think positively of some of the promises he has made to the American people, but then there is also all the voters who have come out and supported him in the last year. Trump’s personal brand, then, has little consideration for the opposition and is primarily geared to appeal to the people that have demonstrated that they believe in what he can do for them. According to class lecture on branding, a brand can be a combination of signs, symbols, names, term, or design that identifies an individual, or a product. Last summer, when Trump announced that he was going to run for president of the United...

...Donald Trump. That’s all you really need to say nowadays to get people’s attention. Trump’s recent campaign for president of the United States has sparked a huge amount of interest in what most almost everyone can agree is a horrible man. So how does he remain so consistently high in the polls? Clearly there must be something about Trump that appeals to the typical American citizen. The question is: what? Trump possesses none of the positive traits that define Americans, he’s intolerant, comically ignorant, hateful, and contrary to popular belief he’s actually quite a bad businessman. This all contrasts the American ideal of a diverse and accepting people known for innovative and intelligent entrepreneurs. The secret to Trump’s success is quite...

Since 2000 there have been a discovery of 230 new white supremacist groups. In August of 2016 a man by the name of Andrew Auernheimer hacked 50,000 printers to distribute hate-filled fliers warning to kill all black and Jewish children. Another incident similar to this took place at the University of missouri, where more fliers were...

...countless research from the documentary on racism that we viewed in class to statistics regarding racism in the court system. I find that research in essay allows for us to gain knowledge in order to support our own ideas in the paper and to better grasp the realism of the pigeonholes that are present in our society today. The most valuable piece of evidence in my essay would be the interview I had with one of my former professors from high school who was a law teacher and was my mock trial coach. We read some Iowa court cases that were deemed to be racist primarily from the early fifties and late sixties when prejugdism and racism were much alive and well in the...

...to don on their heads, because they were visibly Muslim.” This quote is from a woman named Suzanne Barakat whose brother, Deah, sister-in-law, Yusor, and sister in law's sister, Razan, was murdered in their own home by their neighbor. Sadly hate crimes like this one have been increasing over time in America since 9/11. The rise of hate crimes towards Muslims is mainly caused by Islamophobia. Islamophobia is the irrational fear, discrimination, or hatred of Islam and its followers and can be rooted so deep into people's minds, many may not know they have it. Islamophobia does not just appear from nowhere, It is caused by people unwilling to...

...Mata 1 ! Marco Mata Sociology 001 Professor Rodriguez 5 August 2015 Growing up in a neighborhood like mine, south central, I was well aware that there was many immigrants roaming in the city but it wasn't until high school where I was astonished that many of my classmates were undocumented. My reactions were surreal because in my mind I use to think that if you went to school you had to be in “legal status” to attend, you can say I was pretty ignorant towards that situation back then. Although through my classmates I began to educate myself and thought my findings I remember they talked about the Dream Act. They were so stoked because I believe it had just passed before we were going to graduate back in 2012. The Dream Act stands for Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act, its purpose is to aid undocumented immigrant students have an opportunity to enlist in the military or go to college and have a path to citizenship. Having passed this act it also helps the United States as a whole because its a chance to contribute back to the country that has given so much to them. The Dream Act may help out a lot of undocumented students but not every undocumented student can qualify to obtain it. Certain regulations and requirements have to be met in order to get his/her process started. I say this because the student must have been here since they were sixteen years of age or younger and had to be in the united states before the act passed for five...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves...
