Data primarily consists of table charts pulled from a survey and two case studies. The surveys, as outlined in Appendix A of the book, were taken from randomly selected school districts around the nation, and the case studies, also outlined in Appendix A, were from Fairfax County, Virginia, and Garrett County, Maryland, both counties with conservative Christians on the school board (pp. 176). The survey pool selected by Deckman is well rounded; she took into account small vs. large school districts, districts with no elections, candidates who ran unopposed, candidates with incorrect home addresses, and candidates who did not respond to the survey (pp. 176).

During a GOP debate Republican Senator,Ted Cruz, attempted to use a diversionary tactic of answering a question,with a question, in order to draw attention from the real issue. In the media this sort of behavior is considered a red herring fallacy which attempts to hide weakness in a argument by not addressing the issue.

The job of our war fighters is to defeat the enemy not to be a cauldron for social experiments or political correctness.”

In his article he uses some logos, but I don’t think there is much in it. He has an example of what Democrats and Republicans are in most people’s minds. This is the only logic I think Brooks uses in the article. The is also pathos in his article, but to me, there is only pathos is you agree with one side. The descriptions are a way of giving emotions.

David Brooks utilizes the rhetorical devices of Logos, Ethos, and Pathos to build his argument that disrespecting American values is counterproductive. First, Brooks uses the Rhetorical device of Pathos to appeal to the emotions of the reader. He says that “Over the centuries, this civic religion fired a fervent desire for change”(Par. 6). Brooks uses the word “fervent” in his writing, because it appeals to the emotions of the reader, It expresses the extent of the desire for change. This is known as pathos.

So what is the moral of the story with regard to presidential and congressional elections? Well we just need to fix what information is more widely available. Of course you can tell that there is tones of information on the current presidential candidates. There is so much of this info that lately its just been silly and childish information. Maybe if they covered Congressional election and Presidential election the same then maybe there would be all this silly useless information out there about these presidential candidates.

In Ruben Navarrette’s opinion piece in the USA Today, “Don’t be a 100 percent-er”, she discusses the partisanship involved in two major American political issues, guns and abortion. The beliefs of most people of these two political debates mostly coincide with their political party, with Democrats being on the side for gun control and be pro-choice, while Republicans are on the side of less gun control and be pro-life. Navarrette argues that this partisanship, these contrasting views with no grey in between, is fracturing the country, and politics is not about absolutes. She goes on to describe that there are people in the United States, including the author herself, that have beliefs in this grey area, and that going more to the fringes is

Introduction Hook: I never knew that one day, one idea could have such a big impact. That one thing could change the history, set up the rest of the country to follow suit with this specific topic, and things that need a change in general. Background: Over 50 years ago, on March 7, 1965, now known as bloody Sunday, segregation was still prevalent. At the time it was not allowed for blacks to vote at the time.

The ability for people to look at a situation from a different perspective is vital in today’s globalized society. Diversity is the most important, core attribute we each share that gives us the ability to assess new situations through our diverse backgrounds and upbringings. Unlike Patrick J. Buchanan’s argument in his essay titled “Deconstructing America,” diversity is a necessity in America’s culture as opposed to the burden it is described as. Conversely, Fredrickson 's essay titled “Models of American Ethnic Relations: A Historical Perspective,” illustrated a more precise version of American history that disproves Buchanan’s ethnocentric ideologies. Buchanan speaks of diversity on a narrow, one-way street.

Argument On Argument - “Stay Sane America, Please!” In his op-ed, “Stay Sane America Please!” author David Brooks reasons that presidential primaries have become more of a playground for the DNC and RNC (GOP) rather than a serious political event. For example, Brooks makes the fair point that even if a candidate such as Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Bernie Sanders “can sweep Iowa and New Hampshire,” they still have to be “broadly acceptable to all parts of the party” to win the nomination (3). Backed up by previous election results, this shows that Brooks believes that even though these candidates are supported by their national committees, they will not be able to win the primaries due to the views of voting citizens, making the efforts

TED Talks allow for people all over the world to learn about different ideas from speeches that have either been recorded and posted online or are performed live in global conferences. There are many different topics that are discussed in the videos on the webpages of TED Talks, but one that is particularly controversial is that of the impact of technology on social interaction and intimacy. Sherry Turkle, Stefana Broadbent and Monica Lewinsky are three intelligent women who have spoken about this topic in TED Talks. “Connected, but Alone?” is the title of Sherry Turkle’s speech that she performed at a TED Talks conference. In “Connected, but Alone?”, Turkle uses a variety of rhetorical strategies to help convey her opinion on the social effects

Several pollsters, both private and public, at the beginning of the electoral cycle propose a series of polls in order to understand which personalities of a certain party are more or less known by the general public. Oftentimes this is done either by the party, or by the candidate itself, in order to understand the actual chances of victory in the long term and how to plan and run a successful electoral campaign. Even if the early polls, which have been matter of discussion in this dissertation, were not asking plainly about name recognition, the suspect that an un-informed respondent used to pick the most common name among the ones proposed is highly present. Name recognition, however,
