Bd Politics
Introduction
It was a winter evening of 2011; I was having a conversion with one of my cousin who was an undergraduate student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). The discussion topic was the political instability of Bangladesh, he was kind of frustrated and blaming the political parties because just the day before the discussion his final examination was postponed due to “Hartal” called by the main opposition party. He was tensed about finishing his graduation in time because of this delay. He had a plan to catch the next semester of a US university for doing his MS over there. But this Hartal issue was made him very anxious that he might not be able to go to USA in time to start the semester. So I could see all of his anger toward the politics and political parties while having the conversation he was saying these political parties and political structure is nothing but a waste of valuable resources of common people, they can’t do any betterment for the country. He said. “We really need some change; we need new and young leadership instated of this age old politicians and political culture.” Then I asked him that if he is thinking about bringing new and young leaders in politics then why he doesn’t take the chance, why he doesn’t join in politics. I pointed out that he is well educated and qualified enough to do that. Then he replied, “I would like to join in politics, but can politics give me a secure future? Can the political parties facilitate me enough opportunities to be a potential leader rather than following the family legacy of transferring political power? Do you think they have internal democracy? Are they going to give me a nomination for national election if I don’t fund them with tons of black money? Do you think they can let me work freely for the betterment of the country? Am I going to get enough support from my family and society if I wish to get involved in active politics? Answer me.” Well I didn’t have any

    Democracy Dbq

    In the world many societies are switching to democracies from the demand from the people in that area. One of the first democracies ever was in Athens, Greece. Even though they were the first democracy ever assembled, questions arose as to how democratic they really were. Opinions vary, but although Athens became more democratic over time, because of a series of reforms, it still was still more un-democratic then democratic. Therefore there power was too limited to be considered a true democracy due to the fact that poor people didn’t participate in government, and that only a small amount of people were considered citizens. In order to further analyze the issue, we can ask poor people their thoughts and their participation in government. Another source would be written history of the city, so they can see if the people were more satisfied under a democracy or a non-democratic state.…

    In the late 19th and early 20th century, American cities faced challenges which arose from the effects of industrialization and urbanization. During this time, three groups were active to do what they thought was best for themselves and society. These groups were immigrants, political machines, and reformers. Political Machines put an effect on the government and the society in the late nineteenth century. Did these political machines have more of a positive or a more of a negative effect on the society? They participated in many corrupt bargains. They also attacked those disloyal towards these political machines. I also add that they helped many of the poor civilians and helped many immigrants gain citizenship, but was this all for the society…

    I don’t have much political socialization. I have never been around politics that much, until now. I vote of course, and I know the person I’m going to vote for and what he or she stands for, but that is pretty much it. I’m not quite sure, but if I had to say, the majority of my whole family, that including all of my relatives are probably republican. I believe I have been missing out on politics for quite some time now. I find it very interesting now, and I do care to learn about it. After I have completed this course, I will have gained a lot more knowledge on the subject of politics. Since there is no one in my family that ever talks about it, maybe I can be the one to start talking…

    A political realignment of 1936 saw the few African-Americans, who were not disenfranchise in their right to vote, abandon their allegiance to the republican party and realign to vote democrat. This realignment would result in a voting turnout trend that still exists today. African-Americans overwhelmingly support politicians who orient to the Democratic Party. The racial group represents a key minority of the electorate that most candidates seeking political office wish to gain. With this knowledge in mind, if one were to run for president as a Democrat, the candidate would most likely win in the state of Michigan versus the state of West Virginia.…

    Political culture is how many people define who they are and how they vote. The factors that can contribute to a regions political culture, define how the people in that region see themselves. Texas for example see themselves, for the most part, as a proud, tough, freedom loving people, who like their independence and their firearms. The political culture in Texas is geared toward traditionalistic and individualism, both wanting the government to stay out of the way, and also not to do much. The conservative roots in Texas are shown in Texas’s adoption as an amendment to the constitution establishing marriage as between a man and a woman. Texans also do not like the government to do much, it is for this reasons that the Texas senate is not in session except for 140 days, every other year.…

    The United States of America is a country known primarily for being founded upon the principles of equality, and liberty. An aspiration the nation has always been centered upon is creating an equal basis for each individual inhabiting the United States. The nation has always taken a great sense of pride in the voting system it possesses, but unfortunately there was a time when this glorified system was not available to the public. After the war of 1812 came to an end the public began to discuss the topic of voting heavily. The most significant changes in participation in both political campaigns and elections in the United States took place within the years of 1815 to 1840; and this was because of a dramatic change in activism, as well as a dramatic increase in the level of campaigning.…

    Last week’s foundation course, exposed me to a lot of issues regarding my profession as an election officer, it gave me food for thought. As a scholar and student of public policy and administration, what kind of responsibilities will this course place in my care, based on the information I would have gathered and assimilated, that I would have to pass on to those in my work place who would be the first people to notice something different in me as I go through this course. My conviction with regards, to issues of election policies, justification and immediate implementation of administrative processes, ensuring, the ethics of free, fair and credible elections are implemented and the bottle necks of administrative bureaucracy reduced, if not totally removed, is the question I ask myself “but you are one person” how do you effectively make a distinct difference in your environment. I am hoping that by the end of this program and with the help of all I will come in contact with at Walden University, I would have found answer to questions as they unfold.…

    For so long under colonial rule there was no room for upward movement in socio-economic classes. With political parties and new government positions opening, there is the creation of the possibility of upward mobility. Political parties also serve as a medium for the creation of political coalitions to increase power (Class notes 26/11). They are a channel for upward pressure from party rank-and-file, affiliates, interest groups and unions (Class notes 26/11). By the molding of attitudes of party members and the wider public issues of concert political parties contribute to political socialization (Class notes 26/11). In proposing programs that line with the party ideology to garner support they influence public policies. Lastly, political parties ensure political stability by absorbing increasing levels of political participation due to modernization (Class notes 26/11).…

    This story was based on how many police departments had high percentages of white working individuals. This is stated in the beginning of the article, “In hundreds of police departments across the country, the percentage of whites on the force is more than 30 percentage points higher than in the communities they serve, according to an analysis of a government survey of police departments.” It then explains and gives evidence proving that in fact most of the population in said work force is in fact white. They had graphs proving this statement, which is now a fact. All I saw was white police overpowering the other races. This was upsetting, especially since there were population in said areas lacked white ethnicity. I also read the notes and it said they surveyed police departments with 100 or more police officers United States. Those with percentage whose race or ethnicity was unknown was greater than 10 percent, as well as department with fewer than 10 officers, were excluded from the survey.…
