...Public Participation in Political Process Analysis 4.1 Perspectives on Political Beliefs 1 Political scientists believe that families play an important role in the socialization process. Families pass along party identification to their children, and politically active families may do so for future generations. Consider the link between your family and your political socialization. Respond to the following: 1. Explain your level of political involvement and your party affiliation. Are you registered to vote? Are you a regular voter? Do you participate in both local and national elections? Have you ever joined a political group or participated in a political campaign? How closely do you follow current events? Do you consider yourself a member of a political party, and have you always had the same affiliation? I do not have a high level of political involvement in any party affiliation at this time. I am registered to vote and I usually vote only during presidential election cycles. I normally do not participate in local elections, however I did attempt to formulate a plan to run for mayor of an unincorporated portion of my former county until the referendum to create a new city failed to pass. I joined a Democratic group while was in college however, my involvement was very limited. I follow current events in a consistency level slightly above the average for people within my group of socialization. I’m not a member of a political part and find some personal...

...decision-makers in democratic political processes. It questions the conditions that are necessary to promote such involvement and that open up spaces for the translation of women’s representation into political influence. The context of the devolution of power process in Pakistan shows that it is not enough to only set up democratic institutions to achieve women’s political effectiveness. Instead there is need for significant support through the state, political parties and civil society. To personalise the political is necessary for successfully being able to achieve policy outcomes that reflect women’s interests.

...POLITICAL SCIENCE The Rise of Far Right in Europe An analysis based on the article “Far right on rise in Europe” published in “THE GUARDIAN” a study by Demos Thinktank. When thinking of the French presidential elections one may even disregard the fact that Mr.Hollande won and pay more attention to the significantly high score of Mrs.Marine Lepen. Indeed, the latter representing the Far Right Movement arrived third with 17.90%, just behind the Right Movement represented by Mr. Sarkozy with 27.18% and the Left Movement represented by the winner Mr. Hollande with 28.63%. This is extremely high when we know that generally in France, the winner party only scores on average 52%. Some people wonder why this extreme conservative party is gaining more and more credit among French citizens. wasn’t the idea of Human Rights born in France? Isn’t France known for its “liberty, equality, fraternity”? What happened to the country of freedom? In my opinion the three main events that led up to this delicate situation are: the recent economical crisis, the role of Media, and the carelessness of racist discourse. Before I begin my analysis, it is important to say that the support for the Far Right Movement is not exclusive to France but also to several European countries such as Austria, Germany or Switzerland as mentioned in the article. However, I will be essentially focusing on France since it is dear to my heart as I was born and raised there. First, the economic crisis...

...Rhetorical Comic Analysis – Four More Years ...of Gridlock Michael Cannon ECPI University Abstract This is a rhetorical analysis paper on a political cartoon called “Four more years …of Gridlock” drawn by Patrick Chappette for the “International Herald Tribune.” It depicts both the reaction of the re-election of President Obama, as well as the realistic reaction of the G.O.P. on their stance of congress still being at a political gridlock. There has been much conversation in the political world if progress can truly be made in Congress between the Democratic Party and the G.O.P. or the Republican Party. This paper breaks down both the Democratic and Republican side of the cartoon, than my opinion on the cartoon as a whole and what message the artist Chappette is trying to send to his audience.

The absence of an agreement to seek settlement of the dispute by a peaceful means of their own choice. Or, if there were such an agreement, three further conditions must be satisfied. From the analysis above and the position paper handed in by both China and Philippine, the arbitration tribunal then concludes that the contentious issues are: 1.

...Before taking PLSC 112 this summer, my knowledge and views of the American government and politics were very limited. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I have always been a little ignorant when it came to knowledge about the government or political issues, but have always wished that I knew more, especially with the economic problems we are facing today. I never really did form many political opinions, one way or the other. I vote every election, but never really understand the bigger picture at hand. Such as, all the issues that a candidate stands for or the impact of proposals on the government. When people around me have conversations about American politics, I am embarrassed that I either do not understand what they are saying, or cannot add to the conversation because I don’t know what to say. I guess you could say that I have always been a little cynical when it came to politics. Part of this reason is because I have always felt that the political game played in American politics was just a bunch of people talking baloney, making empty promises, trash talking their opponents, and trying to persuade people to think their way. And whoever does this the best wins, end of story. I’ve always known that there was more to American politics that this, but never really tried to find out more. So, when I signed up for this class, I wanted to shed my ignorance and learn more about my government and how it operated. I am proud to say that my knowledge of our government has been expanded...

Resulting in more benefits, in addition to more restrictions and mandates. A lot of time the general population is unaware of new micropolitical policy. Subsystems, or the Iron Triangle, is comprised of the relationship between agencies, interest groups, and congressional committees. By aligning yourself with a sub-government committee, we can directly affect political outcomes. Interest groups have the power to influence congress thru voting and re-election favors. While congress seeks to uphold constitutional law while striving for electoral support. Most of these congress member support bills that pertain to their special-interest groups. The third part of the Iron Triangle is agencies, these agencies are pressured just as much as congress to make decision that favor their special interest party members, to ensure a vote....

...to make them seem electable. This aspect within the investigation has been chosen because this is an area of interest and a topic I particularly enjoyed whilst studying the AS course. Not only this, but the power section, in my opinion, has the most interesting theory within it but the investigation will tie into another area which equally fascinates me, this being UK politics. This has always been something that I have followed with passion, with this in mind; it has led me to question the very topic. I would like to investigate how politicians use their language, to make them seem more electable and make them seem more favourable to the electorate. From this the Investigation will discover to what extent an election speech impacts on voting. Thus, this investigation aims to explore: • How politicians use a range of persuasive techniques to reinforce their influential power. I expect that the politician who uses persuasion most effectively will seem more favourable to the electorate. Politicians that aren’t confident may hinder their chances with the electorate, even though they use persuasive techniques. This would show them as a weaker leader, even though their speech when read may be the strongest. • To what extent might political rhetoric directly influence the decisions of potential voters? This is also key to discuss how the politician themselves deliver their speech; we would be able to see if the electorate responds to a more confident speaker, regardless...

...There hasn’t been a comparison about the shifting possession of religious power in Cambodia. By analysing the use of monks as political actors by the regimes and analysing the shift in religious power we can find out how both regimes used religion to establish a base of power in society. Additionally, this can learn us more about the different uses of religion by communist-inspired and western-inspired parties and it’s relation with the wider uses of Judeo-Christian secularism and laicism by respectively the United States and the Soviet Union. This essay tries to analyse the way in which the Sangha was used by the Republican and communist forces. The main question of this essay is: ‘How did the Republican Party (1970-1975) and the Khmer Rouge...

...11 & 12 I will be speaking as a Conservative towards Political Culture and Public Opinion. Political Culture is a set of attitudes and practices held by people that forms their political behavior. Which includes moral judgments, beliefs, political myths and ideas about what could make up a good society. It is also a reflection of a government, but it also includes elements of history and tradition that may predate the current government. Political cultures matter because it structures a population’s political views and actions. Governments can help shape political culture and public opinion through education, public events. Political cultures can vary significantly from state to state and sometimes even within a state. However, political culture remains pretty much the same over time. As a conservative I believe gun ownership should have few restrictions because The Second Amendment constitutionally protects it. America is overflowing with firearms to the point where they have become part of the structure of the social stability. Which means while they are the source of chaos, they can also be understood as something that keeps the peace. Conservatives argue that because criminals have complete access to guns then it’s only fair to even the odds for possible victims by permitting them to own them to there own gun as well. Conservatives also believe guns kill but they can also save lives too. For one of my examples I’ll use District of Columbia v. Heller 2008. The District...
