such as Switzerland, Peru, Argentina and Australia impose fines on people who do not vote. (Henry Milner 11). Other countries use other methods to single out non-voters. In Peru, voters carry around stamped cards that confirm they have voted in the election and these cards are presented at public offices for services to be rendered (Henry Milner 14). Having mandatory voting is also believed to force electoral parties to include more groups of people in their campaign and not only cater to the needs

Lately, my friends are constantly asking, "How in the hell could Donald Trump be so popular?" Without question, their reactions to Trump's presidential bid are reasonable. Yet, when Trump announced his candidacy, to be honest, I wasn't the least bit appalled or surprised. Why? Well, because I've grown up and lived around the white working class my entire life. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I understand the ideological roots of Donald's campaign and the very palatable white anger that supports it

been implemented in modern government, the political races have been filled with slimy tactics, harsh words, and lies solely for the purpose of defeating your competitor and winning a position in the local, state, or federal government. Federal elections though, are on a whole different level. Wealthy individuals donate millions to whichever candidate they would like to see in the oval office. These candidates walk on a metaphorical tight rope, with no safety net twenty-four hours a day, and seven

The purpose of this lab was to experimentally apply the concepts of the law of reflection and Snell’s law to reflected and transmitted light using a beam of light, a mirror, a plexiglass prism, and a small container of water. The law of reflection states that Θi = Θr (the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection). Transmitted light is subject to Snell’s law, which holds that n1sinΘ1 = n2sinΘ2, where n is the medium’s distinct index of refraction. Using a tabletop setting, a beam
