...Don't just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won't happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you'll love it up here” (Investopedia). These are the words from Trump meant to inspire everyone through initiative and positive thinking. Trump, as clever as he is, initially intended to follow in his father footsteps. After he graduated in 1968, Donald began working full time for Fred Trump's real-estate company. In 1971 he took control of the company, and named it the Trump Organization. His father's business focused on building and renting middle market apartments in Brooklyn, Queens, and New York. When Trump took over he set his sights on Manhattan. Trump thought of the cities trouble at the time as a great opportunity for...

...Major political and media figures have a major influence of people who follow them. There are many issues going on in the world, and the people’s voices are not always worthwhile. Everyone has an opinion on a problem going on, but only some of the opinions matter at all. With everyone having the privilege of expressing their beliefs, some individuals are attempting to discriminate others simply based on their religion or race. With major political figures such as Donald Trump, his attitude toward muslim- immigration is very radical. Trump’s views are not worth considering, as religion cannot be to blame for denial into the United States. Trump’s radical opinions are not needed and is causing much conflict. The beliefs of a single man should not restrict an entire group of people only because he did not understand the problem at hand. Views of a political figure don’t decide for a group of people. Trump’s expressions do not provide a democratic perspective towards the argument. Trump claims that there should be a blockade of muslims entering the United States in order to bring peace. Trump’s opinion should not be acknowledged as he not providing any valid reasons for his claim. Trump’s biased and single sided views are not reasonable when choosing a side....

...Are Donald Trump’s Words and Actions Acceptable In Today’s Society? Over the past year as the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump has made many bold, inappropriate, childish, and downright unintelligent statements. Trump currently has one of the lowest approval ratings in history, and his actions are the cause of it. Over the course of the 347 days he has been in office, Trump has made 1,950 misleading or false comments since being sworn in, which is an average of 5.6 a day (Cilliza). Although Donald Trump is the president of the United States, this does not give him the right to act irrationally, as shown by his statements, social media presence, and actions over his past year of presidency. Though Trump is a widely known political...

...Victor Heredia Professor Cherne American Government 25 April 2017 Research Paper The use of executive orders gives the president too much power. There are few ways around the executive order and presidents can use this to their advantage. An example of this would be the president not giving his/her okay on a bill which makes executive order harder to fund. This can be an issue because the president can bypass congress and continue on with their plan. There are a few advantages for the president when using executive orders. The constitution gives executive orders to the president which makes him/her the commander and chief. This allows for the president to pull the strings and make the shots. This can be good and bad depending on the situation. I feel that this gives the president too much power. A president can choose to make changes and treaties with other countries without being questioned. Although some people may feel that the choice the president is making isn’t a good one, there is nothing that they can do to change the way the president does their job. Executive orders can be stopped by judicial review. The judges have the power to rule against the government and suspend the executive order, but it can only be suspended temporarily....

...The title of my research paper will be Modern racism. I choose this topic because of as an American that was born in Africa it is always something that has been an interest to me. I came to America around the age of seven. I was young, and coming from Nigeria we were not taught anything about racism. My views on racism in America didn't really come from studying the history of slavery and civil rights in America, but rather from personal experiences I went through. In elementary school even though I was taught the history of African American I never really understood the impact of slavery. I merely took what I was taught as part of the curriculum, which I needed to pass a test. I never really absorbed much from learning. Most of the racist...

For my second paper, I will be analyzing Barack Obama’s slogan from his 2008 campaign. His slogan is as follows: “Change We Can Believe In” (Obama 2008). I believe this slogan follows the proper guidelines and structure of the many political slogans that have come before...

...more popular discussed in today society i feel it is important to get rid of it all together. While writing this essay on racism I found myself re questioning myself countless times as I did not wish to either contradict myself or come off as “strong left wing liberal” as some of the kids from our composition class would say. Throughout this essay I was doing 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...

...Trump 1 I’ve decided to do this leadership profile assignment on the Donald Trump for several different reasons. First off real estate is my profession and it’s what I truly love and believe in. Also, I feel with the current economic situation that we are in; it would be a very interesting subject to report on. Since we are in the worst economy since the Great Depression and a terrible housing market, it would make it more interesting. However, there are some people like Donald Trump that are taking advantage of the economy and thriving and growing their business. Also, Donald has experienced his own rough times before. In the early 1990’s, he was billions upside down and on the verge of losing everything. Consequently, he worked his way out of it and has grown his business since. He has ventured into new businesses and has gone main stream into television. Since the Trump Organization operates in many different aspects of real estate including everything from: purchasing, brokering, and leasing, etc. I feel it would be excellent topic to do this assignment on. Donald has had many major accomplishments in his life and has plenty of failures as well. Most recently, he is known for his reality show “The Apprentice.” His show he is both the host and the producer. Each week contestants are given a task and if you are successful you will get to stay another week. If you team loses, one of your members will be brought back into the board room and someone will get...

...In fact, Trump has stated several times that he wants to build a wall along the US-Mexico border, which Mexico will pay for. His assertions are not taken very seriously by many, yet his unrealistic idea has been revolutionized by the internet. Internet users have made songs, gifs, and other forms of memes using his famous catchphrases. He has, in essence, become a meme. Many of his supporters have become so devoted to maintaining and spreading his “memefied” character, that they do not care about his promises and would rather create and spread their own persona of Trump. They have capitalized on memes, therefore succeeding in bringing a man whose campaign many saw as just a joke into office (“The Dark...

...Any piece of literature whither it be a famous play from Shakespeare or a research paper from a random college student has a purpose. Some purposes are to entertain, express themselves, educate, or in the case of "Politically Incorrect? Or Master Strategists? Try Both" by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; it was to persuade. However, Abdul-Jabbar tried to hide his attempt to persuade people as an article that was supposed to seem informative and educational on the surface. To gather credibility for a series of weak and biased arguments Kareem Abdul-Jabbar misuses statistics and manipulates human emotions. Abdul-Jabbar’s creative and controlling writing is subtlety integrated unless examined further. Abdul-Jabbar’s most powerful tool that he uses throughout his article is his ability to appeal to people’s emotions. He uses quotes that bring attention by appealing to peoples emotions and also makes people feel comfortable with him as a person; this way people are more likely to agree with him. Abdul-Jabbar does this multiple times early on in his article in an effort to build a sense of importance with his...

...help people better their lives, then the good old typographic society must be welcomed. The current political season has been filled with a lot of information in print media and also on television, but what is been talked about by the general population is the insults and the entertainment that is been presented to the people mainly on television. A typographic culture or society as described by Postman emphasizes on the direct relationship of a typical person living in one. It could be seen as an era of low information accessibility, but actual fact the people were informed and had time to read and analyze for example their political figures when it is written down on paper as opposed to today when people watch what the media portrays about a candidate and accept as factual. Donald Trump can be used again to emphasize this point because of the way most of his campaign advertisements talk about the his ability to create wealth...
