Should Teens Be Allowed To Vote
Should teens be allowed to vote ? There are different responses to this. The article "Takoma Park
16–year–old savors his history making moment at the polls" by Annys Shin published on Nov. 3,
2013 shows different sides about teens being allowed to vote. The article indicates that some
individuals believe that teens should be allowed to vote while other don't believe that they should.
After reading the article and seeing the pros and cons of students voting one can infer that it won't
be a good idea for students to vote. Many people agree that teen should be allowed to vote, but why.
Teens are still young kids who still are not matured enough to help shape the world. They are not at
the age to vote. Being able to vote for them will seem like a joke. They won't take it seriously. If
teens are allowed to vote many won't even take time and think about what is the best decision for
them. Think about it this way as a teen when a teacher would tell you to make up your mind if you
wanna see the movie the Lion King or Home Alone. A teen will talk it out with their friends and
their vote will be influenced by others. They will raise their hand to the one the friend chooses. Well
same as voting their vote won't really be accurate of what they think. They won't know who to vote
for and will just vote on what a friend is voting for. Teens are still too young to vote.
Teens are not matured enough. Yes there are student who at the age of 16 and 17 are like adults, but

The reasons why American people do not vote Essay
The reasons why many Americans do not vote
America is a free country, and voting is an important part of that freedom. Unlike other countries
where dictators and monarchs make decisions on behalf of the people, Americans get the right to
decide who runs the country and what laws should govern citizens. But even though voting is an
important privilege, most Americans simply don't vote, and some of their reasons may surprise you.
Here are seven common reasons most Americans don't vote.
1. They think their vote won't count
Many Americans don't vote because they think their vote doesn't count. This is a common excuse
that's rooted in the belief that the Electoral College chooses the President, not the voters. In reality,

If you don't voice your opinion by voting, you shouldn't have the right to voice your complaints
when things don't go the way you want them to.
5. Lines are too long
Voting lines can sometimes be long, and for busy people waiting in line is a horrible waste of time
and energy. But in reality, voting lines are seldom long, even for high–profile presidential races.
With the advent of new technology, voting is becoming easier and more efficient than ever before,
and this allows voters to get in and out without having to wait in long lines. This excuse is becoming
less and less relevant as time goes on.
6. Don't like the candidates
Politicians are sometimes easy to dislike. Their flaws are often aired publicly for the entire world to
see, and many people generally distrust politicians based on this information. But even if you don't
particularly like any of the candidates, do you really know them? And should it matter whether you
like them or not? Perhaps a politician's stance on issues important to you is more important than
whether or not they are likeable. Even if it's choosing the lesser of two or more evils in your eyes,
voting is still an important way for you to voice your opinion about the subjects you care about
most.
5. Can't get to the polls
Getting to polling locations can be a hassle, especially for the disabled, the sick, and people without
transportation. In addition, voting becomes even more difficult for

Presidential Election Results
How Did Pollsters Get It Wrong?
On last November 8th, the results of presidential election were a surprise and shock to most people
around the world, especially US residents because they consistently projected Hillary Clinton would
defeated Donald Trump. According to the article "Presidential Election Results: Donald J. Trump
Wins" in The New York Times, the total votes for Clinton were 62,391,335 (48%) and for Trump
were 61,125,956 (47%). However, in contrast to earlier predictions, some states elected to Trump
instead of Clinton, and this result brought victory for Trump in the last hours of election day. In
details, Trump had 6 electoral votes from Iowa, 10 electoral votes from Wisconsin, 18 electoral
votes from Ohio, 20 electoral votes ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
"There is a great deal of speculation but no clear answers as to the cause of the disconnect, but there
is one point of agreement: Across the board, polls underestimated Trump's level of support.", said
Andrew Mercer, Claudia Deane and Kyley McGeeney authors on their article "Why 2016 election
polls missed their mark" in Pew Research Center. They also gave some several possible
explanations for the misstep. The first factor might be what pollsters refer to as nonresponse bias.
"Some groups, include the less educated voters who were a key demographic for Trump on Election
Day, are consistently hard for pollsters to reach." Then, the result would be a strongly pro–Trump
segment of the population that simply did not show up in the polls in proportion to their actual share
of the population. The next factor was many of those who were polled simply were not honest about
whom they intended to vote for. The explanation for this factor was "support for Trump was socially
undesirable, and that his supporters were unwilling to admit their support to pollsters". In 1982, a
similar case occurred in the gubernatorial election in California. Democrat Tom Bradley, the black
mayor of Los Angeles, lost to Republican George Deukmejian despite having been ahead in the
polls even though the voters were reluctant to tell interviewers that they were not going to vote for a
black candidate. The third factor "involves the way pollsters identify likely voters. Because we can't
know in advance who is actually going to vote, pollsters develop models predicting who is going to
vote and what the electorate will look like on Election Day." This is a notoriously difficult task, and
small differences in assumptions can produce sizable differences in election

An Additional Area Of Contention Within The Literature
An additional area of contention within the literature regards the effects of polling on voters. The
majority of scholars support the idea that polling publication does indeed have an effect on voters.
On the lower end of the influence scale, scholars such as Cutler et al. (2012:282) conclude that poll
reporting is potentially an autonomous influence on the behaviour of voters as they reason their way
to electoral decisions. However, their study does not delve too heavily into the actual empirical
influence of poll reporting's effects, but rather alludes to its potential effects. More comprehensive
studies of the 1988 election in Canada found that polling had a much larger effect on voting
behaviour (Blais, Gidengil and Nivette 2006:272). ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Similarly, during times of negative news for a party, undeclared voters would, in turn, state that they
were less likely to vote for said party (ibid). However, this study concluded by finding that when it
came down to election day, there was no clear evidence that these reported voting intentions, as a
result of polling publication or news stories, influenced undecided voters when they reached the
voting booth, as the influence was not found to be statistically significant (ibid:39–40).
Normative Assessments: Effects of Polling Publication on Democracy? Most of the literature
discussed in the above chapters has been fairly empirical in its findings. However, some of the
current literature discussing the nature of polling publication and its influence on voters have also
brought normative claims to their studies. These normative claims operate under the assumption that
polling publication is indeed influencing voter decisions, and subsequently ask: what do the effects
of voter influence from polling publication mean for Canadian democracy? In response to this
question, two sides have emerged in the debate; a majority of scholars who believe polling
publication is negatively affecting democracy, and a small minority who believe polling publication
is benefiting democracy. Those who believe polling publication is negatively affecting Canadian
democracy argue two claims. Firstly, due to the influence polling publications have on

No Exit Sartre
Psychological suffering versus physical torture is one of the central themes in No Exit by French
playwright Jean Paul Sartre. Sartre's famous quote that "hell is other people" (45) is illustrated
through the interactions among Garcin, Inez and Estelle. Through psychological suffering the
characters' self–destructive flaws are revealed which ultimately emphasizes how each of them are
responsible for their own fate. The characters have the freedom of will to help redeem each other but
choose not to. To subtly reinforce the theme, even the style of the play is psychologically wearing on
the audience. Sartre uses terse, tense dialogue, and boring repetitive sentences, deliberately irritating
the audience, as shown in the quotations below. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is a demonstration of how people cause their own suffering. Similarly, in the play's context of
World War II, many seemingly normal people chose to kill others, even children, when they did not
have to. People in France allowed Nazis to define them under their occupation, which is contrary to
Sartre's self–deterministic philosophy. Garcin's misery and suffering is caused by his self–
destructive cowardice and cruelty, leading to his desertion and abuse of his wife. He tries to
convince the others that he was a courageous pacifist, yet Inez mocks him: "What was your real
motive? . . . [F]ear and hatred and all the dirty little instincts one keeps dark – they're motives too."

The Gamble, John Sides And Lynn Vavreck
Political campaigning is now the full–fledged live version of chess, with pawns, queens and kings,
but is all this parading and strategizing actually important? What is even the purpose behind political
campaigns; is it to inform the public about a candidate or through clever means to win an election at
all costs? The truth of the matter is that campaigns do actually serve an important purpose in the
political world of America. Its purpose is to help inform voters about candidates and to improve the
number of voters at the polling place. In order for these goals to be achieved there needs to be a
clear platform upon which the campaign is built. In the book The Gamble, John Sides and Lynn
Vavreck write that a successful campaign takes advantage of the fundamentals, "national conditions
that set the stage for the campaign," (2). These fundamentals are conditions that the candidate has no
control over, like the economy, their opponent, obstacles or opportunities, and how the candidate
reacts to them affect their ability to be elected (Sides and Vavreck 2). It is upon these fundamentals
that a campaign is built. They inform political stances and future decisions of the campaign, which
makes them an important foundation. Though these fundamentals are key to the survival of a
campaign, equally if not more so, as Professor David Parker has stated, unless the candidate has
name recognition the campaign is a lost cause (Parker, 2016). A successful candidate that isn't

Final Paper Assignment : Presidential Election
Final Paper Assignment Option #1 The 2016 election was one that certainly deviated from what
most people think of when they think of a "typical" election. This election was a deeply partisan
election that became more about disliking the other candidate than voting on issues or for a specific
candidate. The 2016 Presidential Election surprised many experts, according to most polls and
experts this election was supposed to be a landslide victory for Hillary Clinton, but due to the
Democratic Party being out of touch with the working–class and Midwest voters Donald Trump was
able to upset Hillary Clinton to win the election. This election was very much a partisan election, in
an exit poll conducted by the New York Times it shows that 90% of Republicans voted for Donald
Trump while 89% of Democrats voted for Hillary Clinton. In the same poll it also showed that while
those who voted for Hillary Clinton much more strongly favored their candidate than those who
voted for Donald Trump, at the same time, those who disliked the other candidate more strongly,
voted for Donald Trump (Huang et al.). This shows that many people voted for Trump not because
they liked him but because they disliked him less than they disliked Clinton. If more people who
voted for Donald Trump did so because they disliked Hillary Clinton than those who voted for
Hillary Clinton because they disliked Donald Trump it means that Trump was seen as more of a

No Exit is that the Setting of Hell by Jean-Paul Sartre
Hell, although we will most likely never actually know anything about it for sure, has always
seemed to be brought up in the media, talked about on television, and depicted in different ways and
through all of the different types of media there are around the world. For example, one version of
Hell as described in Jean–Paul Sartre's play No Exit is that the setting of Hell is a mostly empty
room in which three people are selected to stay for eternity (Sartre). Whether they were selected by
chance or at random, nobody can tell for sure (Northern). The characters, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle
try to figure out why they were all placed together, but will never know even though they have an
eternity together to figure it out (Sartre). The thought that this setting could be a Hell in it's own can
be hard to comprehend. The fact of the matter is that the three people have no looking glass in which
to see themselves, no way to know how the other people in the room feel about them, and no way to
get away from each other, for they are locked in this room for eternity (Sartre). The fact that one of
the women, Estelle, is a sort of conceited woman who wants to see how she looks all the time makes
her feel the need to ask the other woman, Inez, how she looks (Sartre). When she does this, it shows
the way that it is human nature that we are constantly worried and wondering how they look through
another person's eyes (Northern). The idea of the Northern Existential Group that "Hell is other

Allow us to add our congratulations to all those from around the world who admire your work on
the peace process and celebrate your selection as this year's Nobel peace laureate. It is richly
deserved, and we admire your strong gesture of donating the award proceeds.
We know, however, that you and Colombia's leadership are grappling with the surprising and bitterly
disappointing results of the 2 October plebiscite. As you explore options for moving the peace
process forward, it is an important moment to take stock of what happened in that election, assess
why Colombians voted the way they did (or did not vote at all), learn how to show voters you heard
them, and develop strategies that could help you build necessary public support for whatever revised
agreement may emerge.
We appreciate the opportunity to submit a proposal to conduct research and analysis that can help
you sort through the difficult challenges that lie ahead. We have worked with other transformational
leaders – like Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, and Ehud Barak – and we know that one way bold
leaders rise to tough challenges is by gaining a deep grasp of their public's mood. We can help you
obtain the insights you need now.

studies showed that in the United States "during the 2012 election cycle, 1 in 5 voters with
disabilities said they were kept from casting their ballot on their own and more than half said they
encountered hurdles" (Heasley). Disabilities can be defined as an impairment that may be physical,

restrictions on an individual's ability to participate in society. With an ongoing problem in society as

disability affect their political participation within society? How do one's disabilities even interfere

Analyzing The Exit Poll Works : Conducting National Exit...
1.1 HOW EXIT POLL WORKS: Conducting national exit polls is an enormous undertaking,
requiring as long as two years to implement. The goal of the process is to collect information on a
subset of voters that can be projected to the entire active electorate with a high degree of confidence.
Numerous obstacles, though, stand in the way, threatening to undermine the effort and bias the
results. Exit polls, like most surveys, unfold in four distinct but often overlapping stages / Research–
ers usually begin by developing procedures for drawing a probabilistic sample of voters whose
responses can be inferred to the active electorate with a high degree of confidence. They develop a
questionnaire, capable of both describing the types of voters participating in an election as well as
offering insights into the reasoning behind their choices. Interviewers are trained and eventually
employed to disseminate the questionnaires to and collect them from sampled voters on Election
Day. The process concludes with the integration of voters' responses into a data set for analysis. The
specific procedures used for each stage vary by polling organization; therefore, I focus my
discussion on those procedures developed by Warren Mitofsky, Murray Edelman, and their
col¬leagues at CBS and used by the polling units employed by the network consortium to conduct
the national exit polls. 1.2 THE STAGES OF EXIT POLLING PROCESS: 1) Sampling The first

The Use of Polls to Analyze Public Opinion in Politics Essay
The Use of Polls to Analyze Public Opinion in Politics
Public opinion is defined in the text as "the distribution of the population's beliefs about politics and
policy issues" (Edwards, Wattenberg, and Lineberry 150). On paper, it sounds so simple; in reality it
is much more difficult to determine. The most common method for ascertaining and consolidating
public opinion has been through the widespread use of polls. Their popularity has steadily increased
over the years. One reason is that they provide an accurate, reliable representation of the opinions of
an entire population and supply decision–makers with valuable insight that may be used to
determine a future course of action. However, not all polls are created equal. Polls ... Show more

Without a randomly selected sample, the results can only be applied to the specific persons
questioned (Blake 1). This is why results from polls that allow self–selection, such as those found on
the web, or in your mailbox, automatically demand a higher level of scrutiny and skepticism.
Wording and ordering of interview questions is another area that demands major attention. Words,
terms and phrases should be stated and ordered in such a way as to create as little room for bias as
possible, and should be presented, in full, with the polling results (Blake 2). Question wording has
been called the "biggest source of bias and error in data", and is therefore an aspect of polling that
will always leave room for criticism (Gallup 4). Occasional ill–wording of questions is tolerable, if
not unavoidable, as long as it is not obviously meant to tilt the results or prompt a certain response.
However, it is not unheard of nor is it uncommon for such polling practices to occur. Some attempts
to persuade are definitely more malicious in nature than others. This is the subject of the article

what happens to us when we pass on into the afterlife. The Underworld is portrayed in many

Sartre No Exit Essay
Jean Paul Sartre was a French philosopher born on June 21st 1905. He was also a novelist,
playwright, political activist, and a literary critic. His works continue to influence sociology, critical
theory, post–colonial theory, and literary studies to this day. His work mainly focused on the idea of
existentialism. The most decisive influence on Sartre's philosophical view–point was his weekly
attendance to Alexandre Kojève's seminars, joined with many other philosophers and intellectuals
such as, Raymond Queneau, Georges Bataille, Maurice Merleau–Ponty, André Breton, Jacques
Lacan, and Raymond Aron. In 1944, he wrote an existentialist play called No Exit (French: Huis
Clos). This play was seen as one of the best plays to clearly convey his philosophy.
In this play, three deceased adults, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle are brought to a room in hell by the
same mysterious Valet. The three souls expected their hell to be filled with tools used for physical
torture, but instead they find a regular room furnished in Second Empire style. They all refuse to
word their crimes and Estelle believes that a mistake has been made.

by forming connections with others like the characters in the play, No Exit. When Garcin, Inez, and

point in doing that. The more they ignore each other, the more they look back at the earth and see
themselves being forgotten. This causes them to try to form connections with one another, but the
connection they formed is not friendly. Instead, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle have a negative

Alfred Prufrock does not form connections with other characters. In the poem, Prufrock continually
says "In the room the women come and go/Talking of Michelangelo"(1). Then, he asks himself "'Do
I dare?' and, 'Do I dare?" because he questions himself whether or not he should go talk to the
women in the room (1). As the poem goes on, he continues to question himself and he does not go
talk to those women. He wants to form a connection with those women, but he keeps holding back.
By holding himself back, he stops himself from making any human interaction. Instead, he
constantly worries about the world around him and he feels trapped by it. He has also said he has
"heard the mermaids singing, each to each./[He does] not think that they will sing to [him]"(3). The
mermaids have connections among themselves, but they do not form a connection with him.
Prufrock is unable to form a connection with humans or supernatural creatures. In the last line of the
poem, Prufrock says, "Till the human voices wake us, and we drown"(3). Unless he is able to talk to
other people and form connections with them, he is unable to exist so he "drowns". The act of
drowning represents feeling trapped because a person can't breath which represents freedom. To
Prufrock, drowning represents his inability to reconcile himself to the absurd world he finds himself
trapped in. Overall, in The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock, Prufrock is unable to form

Hellish Interpersonal Situations by Peng Su
Situations of unpleasant interactions between people are common even in our societies. At least each
person has at one time has experienced a terrible or unpleasant interaction with another person. In
the play No Exit by Sartre and the poems The Waste Land by Eliot, there are similar unpleasant
interactions depicted. No Exit is a play consisting of three characters Inez, Garcin, and Estelle who
are in hell damned in one room. The characters had thought hell was a place for punishment but
rather found themselves in a room well furnished. However, all the characters refuse to admit to
their damnation reasons. The Waste Land on the other hand is a collection of poems that delve in
war, disillusionment, death, and trauma themes to show the effects of World War I. Therefore, the
focus of this essay is to discuss unpleasant interpersonal situations depicted in the two texts and that

Land in 'The Burial of the Dead', Marie was frightened when her cousin insisted on taking her on a

Successful Political Campaign
There are many components of a successful political campaign. The first component would be to
build name recognition. Since many citizens are not well informed about congressional candidates,
getting the candidates name out there can deliver a few extra percentage points of support. The
second would be voter mobilization. Turnout to voting polls is not automatic. Just because someone
supports a candidate that does not mean that they will actually go to the polls and vote. Candidates
have to make sure that they get the people out to vote and do whatever they can to make sure they
do. Campaign professionals refer to voter mobilization efforts as GOTV which means get out the

and complexities of living under Nazi occupation. In No Exit, Jean Sartre uses imagery in order to
represent how the living room, or 'hell', was controlled by an 'external force', The Nazi party. In the
opening scene Garcin notes, "Second Empire furniture, I observe. . . Well, well, I dare say one gets
used to it in time". The Second Empire was another occupation in France lead by Napoleon the
Third in which the working class was mobilized and living conditions became much tougher. The
fact that the room is furnished by a previous occupation shows how this 'Hell' that they are in, is
completely controlled by an external force such as a regime. The room in which they stay signifies
hell within the book but externally is being likened to living under the Nazi occupation and how
unconventionally hell like it was. There were curfews, restrictions on food, music, dance, art but
there were no instruments of torture in the book or the occupation in France at the time either. This
shows how they were not being tortured in the conventional sense, but there was a strong presence
of mental torture that that characters go through within the book. They face many challenges
including privacy which is hard to come by in one living room to the point where Inez states, " Don't

Existentialism In No Exit Essay
In his play, No Exit, Jean–Paul Sartre examines basic themes of existentialism through three
characters. The first subject, Garcin, embraces existentialist ideas somewhat. The second character,
Inez, seems to fully understand ideas deemed existential. Estelle is the third person, and does not
seem to understand these ideas well, nor does she accept them when they are first presented to her.
One similarity amongst the three is that they all at some point seem to accept that they are in Hell
for a reason.
Garcin admittedly is in Hell because he was unkind and unfaithful to his wife. He however, does not
wish he had acted differently, for he says, “I tell you I regret nothing (p. 24).'; In this ...

also states, “…I prefer to choose my hell…(p. 23),'; which
advocates the principle that everyone has a free will. She gives a good example of the concept that
mankind has a free will, and that few decisions are without any negative consequences when she
says, “So now we have to pay the reckoning (p. 17),'; and
“…people aren’t damned for nothing (p. 16).'; However, she
violates the existentialist idea that everything is coincidental, nothing really happens for a purpose,
when she persists in telling the others that they have been put there together for a purpose. An
example of this is when she says, “Mere Chance?… Nothing was left to
chance. This room was all set for us.';
Estelle perhaps had the hardest time coming to terms with her transgressions and existentialist ideas.
She is in hell because she committed adultery, from which she birthed and killed her unwanted
daughter, driving her lover to commit suicide himself. However, at some points, she almost refuses
to believe that she is in hell, like when she says, “That’s just it. I

Presidential Election Of The United States
After almost two years on the campaign trail, the United States of America has finally elected its
new president, Donald Trump. No that is not a typo, this is real life. It was a hard fought battle
between Hillary Clinton and the Donald which ultimately lead to one of the most shocking upsets in
recent American politics. Being that the odds were heavily stacked against Trump as poll after poll
predicted Clinton be the victor, it was to the astonishment of many that he reigned victorious during
this 2016 presidential election cycle. Be it the will of the country (or in this case electoral college )
this poisonous cheeto will now be the 45th president of the United States. So how did this happen,
what was it about Trump that pushed voter behavior in his favor in many key battleground states?
Trumps victory lies in the hands of the silent majority who at this point were dying for change and
saw it within the republican nominee. The biggest contributing factor to Trump's win on November
8 was retrospective voting which a lot of voters clearly engaged in this election cycle. When making
the decision of who to vote for during an election, voters often tend to start looking within at their
own situation before throwing their support at a candidate. Questioning whether ones is better off

Sartre No Exit Essay
Decisions, Decisions In Jean–Paul Sartre's play No Exit, three different characters, Joseph Garcin,
Inez Serrano and Estelle Rigault are portrayed together in hell. Although in hell for different
reasons, the common thread that binds them is the fact that they all chose to make undeniably
terrible decisions in their past lives. These characters unequivocally believed that the decisions they
made while they were living, should not constitute their being sent to hell. They believed that the
punishments that they received, hell, was inappropriate and not where they were supposed to be and
at the very least, if in fact in hell, then they should be tormented in a proper manner, torture chamber
style. However, based off of Sartre's portrayal of these character's life–choices, how one lives their

Existentialism, according to www.dictionary.com, is, "A philosophical attitude associated especially
with Heidegger, Jaspers, Marcel, and Sartre, and opposed to rationalism and empiricism, that
stresses the individual's unique position as a self–determining agent responsible for the authenticity
of his or her choices." Sartre emphasis this philosophy of thinking, and living, explicitly and
throughout his work, No Exit. The three different characters were responsible for their own choices
in their lives which we saw. They believed they were in control of their own destination, and in fact
on some level they were, and their actions did dictate their eternally reminder of their past, their
forever and eternal present, and the unchanging future. This is hell and like most people, denial
settles in and one justifies that their actions weren't all that bad. These characters many times tried to

Sartre's No Exit
As stated earlier, man is an autonomous individual. Our freedom of choice determines what we
make of ourselves. In the duration of Sartre's play, No Exit, we are observed to three major
characters serving their afterlife in hell together. Inez, one of the major characters, serves her
afterlife from committing suicide with her lesbian lover concluding an affair with a woman's
husband. Her actions, in the play, overlook what is considered to be an important example of how
we are completely in control of our actions. By acting as Estelle's "mirror", due to her personal
admiration and obsession with her appearance, Inez engages in an action in which she ultimately
knew would not result in the way she hoped for. Estelle, being a straight woman that is attracted to

However, our thought process that there might be the slightest chance that our situation will work
for the best, motivates us to move in that direction of choice. Take Christopher McCandless for
example; a graduate from Emory University as a top athlete and student with a bright future. Rather
than taking the safe route, his freedom of choice caused for him to embark on a journey in the
Alaskan wilderness. His bohemian actions furthermore, provoked a dramatic end to his journey as
he died of starvation. The importance of this example nonetheless, is the fact that we are aware that
McCandless was in complete control of his situation, but decided to use his freedom of choice to
move in a direction in which he thought he can succeed in. These findings articulate the work of
Sartre and his central claim on existentialism. Another example of how man is an autonomous
individual comes from the thought process of every high school senior; whether or not it is the right
time to attend college. Given our freedom of choice, we have the ability to pursue any career we
aspire for with the thought process that everything will work out as we hope

No Exit Existentialism
The drama, No Exit by Jean–Paul Sartre, is about three characters, who made ruthless decisions
during their time on earth and are now left in hell to torture one another. The anecdote's setting takes
place in hell, where the three characters reveal their horrendous crimes which led to their eternal
suffering at the hands of one another. The drama portrays existentialism, which is the idea that the
existence of an individual as being free and responsible in determining their own choices whose
consequences they must face.
A particular scene from the drama, which defines existentialism effectively is, when Estelle was
seeking a mirror. Upon not finding one, Inez volunteered to be her personal mirror. Repeatedly, Inez
kept on flirting with Estelle, who in return wanted Garcin's affection. Meanwhile, Estelle explained
that she had six mirrors in her bedroom that she constantly needed to look at to remind herself of her
existence. Finally, Estelle allowed Inez to be her mirror. Inez teased Estelle, who worried if they

No Exit By Jean Paul Sartre
In No Exit, a play written by philosopher and existentialist Jean–Paul Sartre, three characters are
placed in a small room assumed to be hell with minimal furniture, space, and points of interest. The
two women and one man are forced to face their own as well as the others' sins and true natures,
exposing each other in a raw truth. In many of his works, Sartre attempts to get important messages
across that coincide with his philosophies. A piece that is easy to use to compare with the play is the
essay The Humanism in Existentialism, as everything written in it are his own thoughts and
commentary on life, how it should be lived, humanity, and how humans relate to each other and the
world around them. That being said, he purposely writes No Exit in a way that blatantly disregards
some of his main points. More specifically, through his writing of the characters in the play, Sartre
very clearly demonstrates his contempt for and low standards of humanity by portraying each
individual as having unique aspects of his negativity. One character in the play is named Estelle
Rigault. She lived a life full of sin, including adultery and murder, before she died of pneumonia and
was sent to hell. Estelle, though married to an older man, had an affair with another named Roger,
which resulted in a baby. While on a trip with her lover, she dropped the baby over a balcony into a

Is Time We Stopped Pretending?
is time we stopped pretending. Voters simply don 't know what the best economic policy is. The
average voter does not, and should not be expected to, have an understanding of economics which
allows them to pick an economic model at the polls. Despite this, people think that their opinion on
the economy should help decide their vote. In fact, voting patterns are almost independent of
economic policy: the only contributing factor is whether the policy is interpreted as left wing or
right wing (Carreirao 78). What people actually base their voting decisions on has little to do with
economic policy, or any policy for that matter (Carreirao 88). The obvious conclusion is to do away
with the discussion of economics and other such things as if they affect our decision. To continue to
do so is bad for our democracy: voters do not vote based on policy, politicians in turn to make bad
economic decisions, because their policy does not affect the vote, and this means voters should
instead vote based on policies they understand. The main reason for this is that voters often don 't
vote based upon economic policy, even when they think they do. This may seem like a wild
statement, but it is based upon two empirically verifiable facts. These two facts are as follows:

The Pros And Cons Of Voter Voting

are too young and don't know a thing about politics.The usual voting age is 18 years old, which is
still counts as a teenager but by that age, it is considered to be legal. They are more mature and have
a little more knowledge about what is happening around the world. In the article, "Takoma Park 16–
year–old savors his history making moment at the polls" written by Annys Shin states that the 26th
Amendment has granted 18 year olds the opportunity to vote around the mid 1900's. Although the
government has concerns on the percentage of people who vote, having younger applicants vote,
will not make much of a difference because they are not well informed yet about the rules and how
the government works.
The total amount percentage of the voting rate has been decreasing every year, simply because
citizens who are eligible to vote do not have enough time on their hands to vote. "During the last
municipal elections in 2011, a meager 19 percent of eligible voters showed up at the polls,"
according to Jessie Carpenter (Shin). Teens believe that if they are allowed to cast a vote, it will
make a major difference in elections and have a much better impact. Voter apathy has been a
worldwide problem with citizens because many do not vote due to the fact that they have a job and
are not allowed to leave because they really need that money or because they must attend school.

polling place, used especially to predict the outcome of an election or determine the opinions and
characteristics of the candidates supporters . How Exit poll works: Conducting national exit polls is
an enormous undertaking, requiring as long as two years to implement. The goal of the process is to
collect information on a subset of voters that can be projected to the entire active electorate with a
high degree of confidence. Numerous obstacles, though, stand in the way, threatening to undermine
the effort and bias the results. Exit polls, like most surveys, unfold in four distinct but often
overlapping stages / Research–ers usually begin by developing procedures for drawing a
probabilistic sample of voters whose responses can be inferred to the active electorate with a high
degree of confidence. They develop a questionnaire, capable of both describing the types of voters
participating in an election as well as offering insights into the reasoning behind their choices.
Interviewers are trained and eventually employed to disseminate the questionnaires to and collect
them from sampled voters on Election Day. The process concludes with the integration of voters'
responses into a data set for analysis. The specific procedures used for each stage vary by polling

democracy. In the beginning the only person who were able to vote and be part of the government
were white protestant male. However, that would of course change after the Voting Rights Act that
was signed into order by President Lyndon Johnson that would remove discriminating factors used
on African Americans due to the fact that it was unconstitutional under the firth–teen amendment.
Some of the discriminating factors that were used were laws passed on by the jim crow laws that
included literacy test, or trick questions that had to be answered as well as poll taxes all which kept
the lower class and minorities from having a vote in what they believe in. However, minorities were
not the only ones left outside of the voting precincts women would also not have the right to vote
until the women's suffrage movement that would lead into the 19 Amendment which gave
everybody a right to vote regardless of gender. Although, this was a merely 90 years ago in the

possibly secure his passage into paradise, all evoked by the fear of eternal damnation and pain. The

Common in all religions, sin exists almost as a written law. For Christians it exists in the Ten
Commandments, the seven deadly sins. For Buddhists, it is the crimes against karma. Sartre,
however, does not address what prerequisites his hell contains. By conventional standards, its seems
that his characters rightfully deserve to be placed in hell.
While Estelle's hands were tarnished with the murder of her own baby, both Garcin and Inez are
indirectly responsible for the death of those close to them. For Sartre, all three characters are
pathetic examples of humankind. Believing that human beings can never hope to understand why
they are here, Sartre, like many existentialists, believes that each individual must choose a goal and
follow it with passionate conviction, aware of the certainty of death and the ultimate
meaninglessness of one's life. Nonetheless, Estelle, Garcin and Inez all exist with no real purpose
and therefore are damned to suffer not only in their life, but their afterlife.
Garcin may have been the closest to following a goal, but his act of fleeing from revolution and his
cowardly death shows that he has no real passion. Estelle is the most superficial of the group, the
one with least conviction. She simply uses people to her pleasure and herself as the object of their
desire. Inez sees herself as a "damned bitch" and believes that she is in fact damned and
belongs in hell.

This is futile behavior because he will eventually look to the other for definition. By coming up with
solutions, Garcin tries harder and harder to reject the other's dominating presence: "...we'll look at
the floor and each must try to forget the others are there" (Sartre 22). Through his acknowledgment
of the other's interrogating eye, Garcin is unwillingly admitting his gradual loss of his vision of
himself. He is being engulfed by Inez's and Estelle's opinion of him. As soon as Garcin feels his
essence and individuality slipping away, he begins to rely on Estelle to cure his loneliness and to
give him solidity. He demands that Estelle give him her complete "trust" (Sartre 36) and constant
"love" (Sartre 36). Garcin wants Estelle to love him for who he is rather than for sexual reasons.
Frustrated by Estelle's rejection of his love, he asks her for her faith in him: "I did not run away...that
one person's faith would save me . Will you have faith in me? Then I shall love you and cherish you
for ever" (Sartre 39). Garcin needs Estelle, the other, to justify his cowardice to make his past seem
noble. Estelle offers Garcin hope for the future and gives him someone to live for. He has a change
of heart when Estelle declares, "Anyhow, I'd love you just the same, even if you were a coward"

Being able to vote is a privilege that has been granted to us at the age of 18 for over 40 years now.
Although 18 year olds and above are granted the opportunity to vote in something that can make a
difference in politics not everyone takes the time to participate in voting. Most of the voting has
been done by older people because they have had more experience and interest in politics. With that
being said I think the more realistic decision to make is keeping 16 and 17– years olds from voting
until they reach the age of 18. On November 13, 2017, Annys Shin published an article called

able to have a say in votes at such a young age. For those who weren't chosen might of not had a

first thing they think about is not running up to a poll and vote, they have money other ideas then

In the two works of literature The Scarlet Letter and No Exit, the relationships between the main
characters can be used to question morality, and understand righteousness. The relationships in both
works follow the same heads and movements, regardless of the time periods they were written in.
In the play No Exit, by Jean Sartre, the author attempts to describe his visualization of what Hell is,
a subject that many have brood over, but none really know. Sartre was under the impression that
Hell had nothing to do with the fire and brimstone, as many people before him believed. He instead
voiced his thoughts through the characters of No Exit. "Obviously there aren't any physical
torments...and yet we're in hell. And no one else will come here. We'll stay in this room together, the
three of us, forever and ever...in short there's someone far away here each of us shall act as the
torturer of the two others." The three main characters in this play, Inez, Garcin, and Estelle create
the hell they were banished to, but not by using the "racks and red–hot pincers" of the past, but by
hurting each other in a disturbed form of a "love triangle", where the love really doesn't exist.

Estelle is by all accounts the most character in the play that lives an inauthentic existence. She tries
to misdirect herself by denying the way that she has committed. She suffocated her own youngster
in a river, in the wake of having an unsanctioned romance – " There was a balcony overlooking the
lake. I brought a stone..." (Sartre, No Exit, 29). The outright opportunity that Sartre talks about, is
precisely the same that Estelle needs to surrender. She'd rather exist according to others – or have
others characterize her presence. In connection to Hegel, he is the philosopher who believes that
individuals either define themselves contrary to others or they look to others to mirror the picture of
themselves. (Pandya, lecture notes). This is the most obvious in Estelle's character. She utilizes Inez
as her mirror; actually, to characterize herself in light of the fact that she feels she doesn't exist when
she can't discover something to advise her you exist. "When I can't see myself I start to think about
whether I truly and genuinely exist." (Sartre, No Exit, 19). Estelle here characterizes herself by

"Hell is––other people!" There are no torture racks or red–hot pitchforks in hell because they're after
"an economy of man–power––or devil–power if you prefer." Each person is there (in hell) for a

domination and degradation of his wife, and the way he "courted danger at every turn." However, he
performed a cowardly action (fled the country when war broke out) which, when he was caught, led
to a cowardly death which he defines as merely "a physical lapse."
Additionally, Estelle finds another way to seek approval: she needs Garcin's approval (as the only
man there) to establish her superiority over Estelle as an object of desire, by comparison with Inez,
the lesbian.
Finally, Inez does the same thing, although in a different form, as Estelle and Garcin. She seeks
approval over Estelle as a strong, dominant, hones woman, as compared to Estelle, who is a weak,
subservient, dishonest woman. Although Inez criticizes Estelle for having a male–dominated
personality (which since Inez is a lesbian, she does not), Inez does not realize that she herself has an
other–dominated personality.
No Exit also does a fine job of expressing Sartre's idea of negation in his philosophy of
existentialism. Each person negate the person who is attracted to her through the process of denying
that person. However, each person also negates the person whom the

Should Teens Be Allowed To Vote: The Pros and Cons

  • 1. Should Teens Be Allowed To Vote Should teens be allowed to vote ? There are different responses to this. The article "Takoma Park 16–year–old savors his history making moment at the polls" by Annys Shin published on Nov. 3, 2013 shows different sides about teens being allowed to vote. The article indicates that some individuals believe that teens should be allowed to vote while other don't believe that they should. After reading the article and seeing the pros and cons of students voting one can infer that it won't be a good idea for students to vote. Many people agree that teen should be allowed to vote, but why. Teens are still young kids who still are not matured enough to help shape the world. They are not at the age to vote. Being able to vote for them will seem like a joke. They won't take it seriously. If teens are allowed to vote many won't even take time and think about what is the best decision for them. Think about it this way as a teen when a teacher would tell you to make up your mind if you wanna see the movie the Lion King or Home Alone. A teen will talk it out with their friends and their vote will be influenced by others. They will raise their hand to the one the friend chooses. Well same as voting their vote won't really be accurate of what they think. They won't know who to vote for and will just vote on what a friend is voting for. Teens are still too young to vote. Teens are not matured enough. Yes there are student who at the age of 16 and 17 are like adults, but in reality ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. The reasons why American people do not vote Essay The reasons why many Americans do not vote America is a free country, and voting is an important part of that freedom. Unlike other countries where dictators and monarchs make decisions on behalf of the people, Americans get the right to decide who runs the country and what laws should govern citizens. But even though voting is an important privilege, most Americans simply don't vote, and some of their reasons may surprise you. Here are seven common reasons most Americans don't vote. 1. They think their vote won't count Many Americans don't vote because they think their vote doesn't count. This is a common excuse that's rooted in the belief that the Electoral College chooses the President, not the voters. In reality, the popular vote in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... If you don't voice your opinion by voting, you shouldn't have the right to voice your complaints when things don't go the way you want them to. 5. Lines are too long Voting lines can sometimes be long, and for busy people waiting in line is a horrible waste of time and energy. But in reality, voting lines are seldom long, even for high–profile presidential races. With the advent of new technology, voting is becoming easier and more efficient than ever before, and this allows voters to get in and out without having to wait in long lines. This excuse is becoming less and less relevant as time goes on. 6. Don't like the candidates Politicians are sometimes easy to dislike. Their flaws are often aired publicly for the entire world to see, and many people generally distrust politicians based on this information. But even if you don't particularly like any of the candidates, do you really know them? And should it matter whether you like them or not? Perhaps a politician's stance on issues important to you is more important than whether or not they are likeable. Even if it's choosing the lesser of two or more evils in your eyes, voting is still an important way for you to voice your opinion about the subjects you care about most. 5. Can't get to the polls Getting to polling locations can be a hassle, especially for the disabled, the sick, and people without transportation. In addition, voting becomes even more difficult for ...

  • 5. Presidential Election Results How Did Pollsters Get It Wrong? On last November 8th, the results of presidential election were a surprise and shock to most people around the world, especially US residents because they consistently projected Hillary Clinton would defeated Donald Trump. According to the article "Presidential Election Results: Donald J. Trump Wins" in The New York Times, the total votes for Clinton were 62,391,335 (48%) and for Trump were 61,125,956 (47%). However, in contrast to earlier predictions, some states elected to Trump instead of Clinton, and this result brought victory for Trump in the last hours of election day. In details, Trump had 6 electoral votes from Iowa, 10 electoral votes from Wisconsin, 18 electoral votes from Ohio, 20 electoral votes ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... "There is a great deal of speculation but no clear answers as to the cause of the disconnect, but there is one point of agreement: Across the board, polls underestimated Trump's level of support.", said Andrew Mercer, Claudia Deane and Kyley McGeeney authors on their article "Why 2016 election polls missed their mark" in Pew Research Center. They also gave some several possible explanations for the misstep. The first factor might be what pollsters refer to as nonresponse bias. "Some groups, include the less educated voters who were a key demographic for Trump on Election Day, are consistently hard for pollsters to reach." Then, the result would be a strongly pro–Trump segment of the population that simply did not show up in the polls in proportion to their actual share of the population. The next factor was many of those who were polled simply were not honest about whom they intended to vote for. The explanation for this factor was "support for Trump was socially undesirable, and that his supporters were unwilling to admit their support to pollsters". In 1982, a similar case occurred in the gubernatorial election in California. Democrat Tom Bradley, the black mayor of Los Angeles, lost to Republican George Deukmejian despite having been ahead in the polls even though the voters were reluctant to tell interviewers that they were not going to vote for a black candidate. The third factor "involves the way pollsters identify likely voters. Because we can't know in advance who is actually going to vote, pollsters develop models predicting who is going to vote and what the electorate will look like on Election Day." This is a notoriously difficult task, and small differences in assumptions can produce sizable differences in election ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. An Additional Area Of Contention Within The Literature An additional area of contention within the literature regards the effects of polling on voters. The majority of scholars support the idea that polling publication does indeed have an effect on voters. On the lower end of the influence scale, scholars such as Cutler et al. (2012:282) conclude that poll reporting is potentially an autonomous influence on the behaviour of voters as they reason their way to electoral decisions. However, their study does not delve too heavily into the actual empirical influence of poll reporting's effects, but rather alludes to its potential effects. More comprehensive studies of the 1988 election in Canada found that polling had a much larger effect on voting behaviour (Blais, Gidengil and Nivette 2006:272). ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Similarly, during times of negative news for a party, undeclared voters would, in turn, state that they were less likely to vote for said party (ibid). However, this study concluded by finding that when it came down to election day, there was no clear evidence that these reported voting intentions, as a result of polling publication or news stories, influenced undecided voters when they reached the voting booth, as the influence was not found to be statistically significant (ibid:39–40). Normative Assessments: Effects of Polling Publication on Democracy? Most of the literature discussed in the above chapters has been fairly empirical in its findings. However, some of the current literature discussing the nature of polling publication and its influence on voters have also brought normative claims to their studies. These normative claims operate under the assumption that polling publication is indeed influencing voter decisions, and subsequently ask: what do the effects of voter influence from polling publication mean for Canadian democracy? In response to this question, two sides have emerged in the debate; a majority of scholars who believe polling publication is negatively affecting democracy, and a small minority who believe polling publication is benefiting democracy. Those who believe polling publication is negatively affecting Canadian democracy argue two claims. Firstly, due to the influence polling publications have on ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. No Exit Sartre Psychological suffering versus physical torture is one of the central themes in No Exit by French playwright Jean Paul Sartre. Sartre's famous quote that "hell is other people" (45) is illustrated through the interactions among Garcin, Inez and Estelle. Through psychological suffering the characters' self–destructive flaws are revealed which ultimately emphasizes how each of them are responsible for their own fate. The characters have the freedom of will to help redeem each other but choose not to. To subtly reinforce the theme, even the style of the play is psychologically wearing on the audience. Sartre uses terse, tense dialogue, and boring repetitive sentences, deliberately irritating the audience, as shown in the quotations below. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is a demonstration of how people cause their own suffering. Similarly, in the play's context of World War II, many seemingly normal people chose to kill others, even children, when they did not have to. People in France allowed Nazis to define them under their occupation, which is contrary to Sartre's self–deterministic philosophy. Garcin's misery and suffering is caused by his self– destructive cowardice and cruelty, leading to his desertion and abuse of his wife. He tries to convince the others that he was a courageous pacifist, yet Inez mocks him: "What was your real motive? . . . [F]ear and hatred and all the dirty little instincts one keeps dark – they're motives too." Garcin knows that Inez is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 11. The Gamble, John Sides And Lynn Vavreck Political campaigning is now the full–fledged live version of chess, with pawns, queens and kings, but is all this parading and strategizing actually important? What is even the purpose behind political campaigns; is it to inform the public about a candidate or through clever means to win an election at all costs? The truth of the matter is that campaigns do actually serve an important purpose in the political world of America. Its purpose is to help inform voters about candidates and to improve the number of voters at the polling place. In order for these goals to be achieved there needs to be a clear platform upon which the campaign is built. In the book The Gamble, John Sides and Lynn Vavreck write that a successful campaign takes advantage of the fundamentals, "national conditions that set the stage for the campaign," (2). These fundamentals are conditions that the candidate has no control over, like the economy, their opponent, obstacles or opportunities, and how the candidate reacts to them affect their ability to be elected (Sides and Vavreck 2). It is upon these fundamentals that a campaign is built. They inform political stances and future decisions of the campaign, which makes them an important foundation. Though these fundamentals are key to the survival of a campaign, equally if not more so, as Professor David Parker has stated, unless the candidate has name recognition the campaign is a lost cause (Parker, 2016).

Final Paper Assignment : Presidential Election Final Paper Assignment Option #1 The 2016 election was one that certainly deviated from what most people think of when they think of a "typical" election. This election was a deeply partisan election that became more about disliking the other candidate than voting on issues or for a specific candidate. The 2016 Presidential Election surprised many experts, according to most polls and experts this election was supposed to be a landslide victory for Hillary Clinton, but due to the Democratic Party being out of touch with the working–class and Midwest voters Donald Trump was able to upset Hillary Clinton to win the election. This election was very much a partisan election, in an exit poll conducted by the New York Times it shows that 90% of Republicans voted for Donald Trump while 89% of Democrats voted for Hillary Clinton. In the same poll it also showed that while those who voted for Hillary Clinton much more strongly favored their candidate than those who voted for Donald Trump, at the same time, those who disliked the other candidate more strongly, voted for Donald Trump (Huang et al.). This shows that many people voted for Trump not because they liked him but because they disliked him less than they disliked Clinton. If more people who voted for Donald Trump did so because they disliked Hillary Clinton than those who voted for Hillary Clinton because they disliked Donald Trump it means that Trump was seen as more of a lesser of two evils by many who voted for him.

  • 15. No Exit is that the Setting of Hell by Jean-Paul Sartre Hell, although we will most likely never actually know anything about it for sure, has always seemed to be brought up in the media, talked about on television, and depicted in different ways and through all of the different types of media there are around the world. For example, one version of Hell as described in Jean–Paul Sartre's play No Exit is that the setting of Hell is a mostly empty room in which three people are selected to stay for eternity (Sartre). Whether they were selected by chance or at random, nobody can tell for sure (Northern). The characters, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle try to figure out why they were all placed together, but will never know even though they have an eternity together to figure it out (Sartre). The thought that this setting could be a Hell in it's own can be hard to comprehend. The fact of the matter is that the three people have no looking glass in which to see themselves, no way to know how the other people in the room feel about them, and no way to get away from each other, for they are locked in this room for eternity (Sartre). The fact that one of the women, Estelle, is a sort of conceited woman who wants to see how she looks all the time makes her feel the need to ask the other woman, Inez, how she looks (Sartre). When she does this, it shows the way that it is human nature that we are constantly worried and wondering how they look through another person's eyes (Northern).

Exploring Options For Moving The Peace Process Allow us to add our congratulations to all those from around the world who admire your work on the peace process and celebrate your selection as this year's Nobel peace laureate. It is richly deserved, and we admire your strong gesture of donating the award proceeds. We know, however, that you and Colombia's leadership are grappling with the surprising and bitterly disappointing results of the 2 October plebiscite. As you explore options for moving the peace process forward, it is an important moment to take stock of what happened in that election, assess why Colombians voted the way they did (or did not vote at all), learn how to show voters you heard them, and develop strategies that could help you build necessary public support for whatever revised agreement may emerge. We appreciate the opportunity to submit a proposal to conduct research and analysis that can help you sort through the difficult challenges that lie ahead. We have worked with other transformational leaders – like Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, and Ehud Barak – and we know that one way bold leaders rise to tough challenges is by gaining a deep grasp of their public's mood. We can help you obtain the insights you need now. Our work would provide you with a clear sense of what happened on and before 2 October, with a projective analysis of your current options for changing voters' views.

Disabilities can be defined as an impairment that may be physical, cognitive, intellectual, mental, sensory, developmental, or a combination of impairments that causes restrictions on an individual's ability to participate in society. With an ongoing problem in society as great as this, many began to question how such an impactful issue can be resolved. How does one's disability affect their political participation within society? How do one's disabilities even interfere with their ability to cast their vote in elections? How can one take steps to further improve one's political participation whether they have physical, mental, or psychosocial disabilities? Currently, not much action has been taken to study or improve the conditions negatively imposed upon those with disabilities. These critical issues will be examined in this study through the use of peer–reviewed articles, books, and legislative regulation proving their true impact on their ability to increase political participation for those with disabilities.

Numerous obstacles, though, stand in the way, threatening to undermine the effort and bias the results.

The Use of Polls to Analyze Public Opinion in Politics Essay The Use of Polls to Analyze Public Opinion in Politics Public opinion is defined in the text as "the distribution of the population's beliefs about politics and policy issues" (Edwards, Wattenberg, and Lineberry 150). On paper, it sounds so simple; in reality it is much more difficult to determine. The most common method for ascertaining and consolidating public opinion has been through the widespread use of polls. Their popularity has steadily increased over the years. One reason is that they provide an accurate, reliable representation of the opinions of an entire population and supply decision–makers with valuable insight that may be used to determine a future course of action. However, not all polls are created equal. Polls ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Without a randomly selected sample, the results can only be applied to the specific persons questioned (Blake 1). This is why results from polls that allow self–selection, such as those found on the web, or in your mailbox, automatically demand a higher level of scrutiny and skepticism. Wording and ordering of interview questions is another area that demands major attention. Words, terms and phrases should be stated and ordered in such a way as to create as little room for bias as possible, and should be presented, in full, with the polling results (Blake 2). Question wording has been called the "biggest source of bias and error in data", and is therefore an aspect of polling that will always leave room for criticism (Gallup 4). Occasional ill–wording of questions is tolerable, if not unavoidable, as long as it is not obviously meant to tilt the results or prompt a certain response. However, it is not unheard of nor is it uncommon for such polling practices to occur. Some attempts to persuade are definitely more malicious in nature than others.

Because of this, many people wonder what is and isn't true, making everyone skeptical about the world. Whether it is something that could drastically change your outlook on life, or change what you eat for dinner, what we hear about in the media is never 100 percent accurate and believable. For example, one thing that we can never be sure of is what happens to us when we pass on into the afterlife. The Underworld is portrayed in many different ways in the popular media and in the world in general. Whether the Underworld is a place full of torture and pain or a place of life and prophecy, the fact still remains that you being sent there is an avoidable fate. Many of us wonder where our souls must go when we die, and most of us believe in Heaven and Hell. Some people call Hell the Underworld, and others say the Underworld is something completely different. In many cases, the Underworld could either be considered a world underneath surface of our world, or it could be just another name for Hell. In Suzanne Collins's book Gregor the Overlander from the Overland Series, the Underworld is a sot of magical place where a small community of humans has thrived for years on end.

  • 32. Sartre No Exit Essay Jean Paul Sartre was a French philosopher born on June 21st 1905. He was also a novelist, playwright, political activist, and a literary critic. His works continue to influence sociology, critical theory, post–colonial theory, and literary studies to this day. His work mainly focused on the idea of existentialism. The most decisive influence on Sartre's philosophical view–point was his weekly attendance to Alexandre Kojève's seminars, joined with many other philosophers and intellectuals such as, Raymond Queneau, Georges Bataille, Maurice Merleau–Ponty, André Breton, Jacques Lacan, and Raymond Aron. In 1944, he wrote an existentialist play called No Exit (French: Huis Clos). This play was seen as one of the best plays to clearly convey his philosophy. In this play, three deceased adults, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle are brought to a room in hell by the same mysterious Valet. The three souls expected their hell to be filled with tools used for physical torture, but instead they find a regular room furnished in Second Empire style. They all refuse to word their crimes and Estelle believes that a mistake has been made. Eventually, Inez gets frustrated and demand that they confess.

The more they ignore each other, the more they look back at the earth and see themselves being forgotten.

Then, he asks himself "'Do I dare?' and, 'Do I dare?" because he questions himself whether or not he should go talk to the women in the room (1). As the poem goes on, he continues to question himself and he does not go talk to those women. He wants to form a connection with those women, but he keeps holding back. By holding himself back, he stops himself from making any human interaction. Instead, he constantly worries about the world around him and he feels trapped by it. He has also said he has "heard the mermaids singing, each to each./[He does] not think that they will sing to [him]"(3). The mermaids have connections among themselves, but they do not form a connection with him. Prufrock is unable to form a connection with humans or supernatural creatures. In the last line of the poem, Prufrock says, "Till the human voices wake us, and we drown"(3). Unless he is able to talk to other people and form connections with them, he is unable to exist so he "drowns". The act of drowning represents feeling trapped because a person can't breath which represents freedom.

In the play No Exit by Sartre and the poems The Waste Land by Eliot, there are similar unpleasant interactions depicted. No Exit is a play consisting of three characters Inez, Garcin, and Estelle who are in hell damned in one room. The characters had thought hell was a place for punishment but rather found themselves in a room well furnished. However, all the characters refuse to admit to their damnation reasons.

Sartre employs imagery, allusion, and imprisonment in order to express the tragedies and complexities of living under Nazi occupation. In No Exit, Jean Sartre uses imagery in order to represent how the living room, or 'hell', was controlled by an 'external force', The Nazi party. In the opening scene Garcin notes, "Second Empire furniture, I observe. . . Well, well, I dare say one gets used to it in time". The Second Empire was another occupation in France lead by Napoleon the Third in which the working class was mobilized and living conditions became much tougher. The fact that the room is furnished by a previous occupation shows how this 'Hell' that they are in, is completely controlled by an external force such as a regime. The room in which they stay signifies hell within the book but externally is being likened to living under the Nazi occupation and how unconventionally hell like it was. There were curfews, restrictions on food, music, dance, art but there were no instruments of torture in the book or the occupation in France at the time either. This shows how they were not being tortured in the conventional sense, but there was a strong presence of mental torture that that characters go through within the book.

The first subject, Garcin, embraces existentialist ideas somewhat. The second character, Inez, seems to fully understand ideas deemed existential. Estelle is the third person, and does not seem to understand these ideas well, nor does she accept them when they are first presented to her. One similarity amongst the three is that they all at some point seem to accept that they are in Hell for a reason. Garcin admittedly is in Hell because he was unkind and unfaithful to his wife.

She gives a good example of the concept that mankind has a free will, and that few decisions are without any negative consequences when she says, “So now we have to pay the reckoning (p. 17),'; and “…people aren’t damned for nothing (p. 16).'; However, she violates the existentialist idea that everything is coincidental, nothing really happens for a purpose, when she persists in telling the others that they have been put there together for a purpose. An example of this is when she says, “Mere Chance?… Nothing was left to chance. This room was all set for us.'; Estelle perhaps had the hardest time coming to terms with her transgressions and existentialist ideas. She is in hell because she committed adultery, from which she birthed and killed her unwanted daughter, driving her lover to commit suicide himself.

Being that the odds were heavily stacked against Trump as poll after poll predicted Clinton be the victor, it was to the astonishment of many that he reigned victorious during this 2016 presidential election cycle.

Trumps victory lies in the hands of the silent majority who at this point were dying for change and saw it within the republican nominee. The biggest contributing factor to Trump's win on November 8 was retrospective voting which a lot of voters clearly engaged in this election cycle.

Although in hell for different reasons, the common thread that binds them is the fact that they all chose to make undeniably terrible decisions in their past lives. These characters unequivocally believed that the decisions they made while they were living, should not constitute their being sent to hell. They believed that the punishments that they received, hell, was inappropriate and not where they were supposed to be and at the very least, if in fact in hell, then they should be tormented in a proper manner, torture chamber style.

Sartre emphasis this philosophy of thinking, and living, explicitly and throughout his work, No Exit.

Inez, one of the major characters, serves her afterlife from committing suicide with her lesbian lover concluding an affair with a woman's husband. Her actions, in the play, overlook what is considered to be an important example of how we are completely in control of our actions.

However, our thought process that there might be the slightest chance that our situation will work for the best, motivates us to move in that direction of choice. Take Christopher McCandless for example; a graduate from Emory University as a top athlete and student with a bright future. Rather than taking the safe route, his freedom of choice caused for him to embark on a journey in the Alaskan wilderness. His bohemian actions furthermore, provoked a dramatic end to his journey as he died of starvation. The importance of this example nonetheless, is the fact that we are aware that McCandless was in complete control of his situation, but decided to use his freedom of choice to move in a direction in which he thought he can succeed in. These findings articulate the work of Sartre and his central claim on existentialism. Another example of how man is an autonomous individual comes from the thought process of every high school senior; whether or not it is the right time to attend college.

The anecdote's setting takes place in hell, where the three characters reveal their horrendous crimes which led to their eternal suffering at the hands of one another. The drama portrays existentialism, which is the idea that the existence of an individual as being free and responsible in determining their own choices whose consequences they must face. A particular scene from the drama, which defines existentialism effectively is, when Estelle was seeking a mirror. Upon not finding one, Inez volunteered to be her personal mirror. Repeatedly, Inez kept on flirting with Estelle, who in return wanted Garcin's affection.

No Exit By Jean Paul Sartre In No Exit, a play written by philosopher and existentialist Jean–Paul Sartre, three characters are placed in a small room assumed to be hell with minimal furniture, space, and points of interest. The two women and one man are forced to face their own as well as the others' sins and true natures, exposing each other in a raw truth. In many of his works, Sartre attempts to get important messages across that coincide with his philosophies. A piece that is easy to use to compare with the play is the essay The Humanism in Existentialism, as everything written in it are his own thoughts and commentary on life, how it should be lived, humanity, and how humans relate to each other and the world around them. That being said, he purposely writes No Exit in a way that blatantly disregards some of his main points. More specifically, through his writing of the characters in the play, Sartre very clearly demonstrates his contempt for and low standards of humanity by portraying each individual as having unique aspects of his negativity. One character in the play is named Estelle Rigault. She lived a life full of sin, including adultery and murder, before she died of pneumonia and was sent to hell. Estelle, though married to an older man, had an affair with another named Roger, which resulted in a baby.

The average voter does not, and should not be expected to, have an understanding of economics which allows them to pick an economic model at the polls. Despite this, people think that their opinion on the economy should help decide their vote. In fact, voting patterns are almost independent of economic policy: the only contributing factor is whether the policy is interpreted as left wing or right wing (Carreirao 78). What people actually base their voting decisions on has little to do with economic policy, or any policy for that matter (Carreirao 88). The obvious conclusion is to do away with the discussion of economics and other such things as if they affect our decision. To continue to do so is bad for our democracy: voters do not vote based on policy, politicians in turn to make bad economic decisions, because their policy does not affect the vote, and this means voters should instead vote based on policies they understand. The main reason for this is that voters often don 't vote based upon economic policy, even when they think they do. This may seem like a wild statement, but it is based upon two empirically verifiable facts.

In the beginning the only person who were able to vote and be part of the government were white protestant male. However, that would of course change after the Voting Rights Act that was signed into order by President Lyndon Johnson that would remove discriminating factors used on African Americans due to the fact that it was unconstitutional under the firth–teen amendment. Some of the discriminating factors that were used were laws passed on by the jim crow laws that included literacy test, or trick questions that had to be answered as well as poll taxes all which kept the lower class and minorities from having a vote in what they believe in. However, minorities were not the only ones left outside of the voting precincts women would also not have the right to vote until the women's suffrage movement that would lead into the 19 Amendment which gave everybody a right to vote regardless of gender. Although, this was a merely 90 years ago in the 1920's which is a considerable small amount of time considering our form of government isn't that old. Even with all these ratifications of forming new laws to make everything equal regardless of race and gender there are still a problem with voting in today's age although the problems rely more on the technology being used, the access into the polls, as well as a variety of choice in nominees There has been various problems with ...

  • 64. No Exit Hell. The four lettered word that trembles in the throats of men and children alike; The images of suffering, flame pits and blood, the smell of burning flesh, the shrieking of those who have fallen from grace. For centuries man has sought out ways to cleanse his soul, to repent for his sins and possibly secure his passage into paradise, all evoked by the fear of eternal damnation and pain. The early 20th century philosopher and existentialist writer Jean–Paul Sartre saw life as an endless realm of suffering and a complete void of nothingness. His pessimistic ideals of life followed through to his beliefs on death, as death for him was a final nothingness. If death was a final nothingness, Sartre's view of hell was really a final ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Common in all religions, sin exists almost as a written law. For Christians it exists in the Ten Commandments, the seven deadly sins. For Buddhists, it is the crimes against karma. Sartre, however, does not address what prerequisites his hell contains. By conventional standards, its seems that his characters rightfully deserve to be placed in hell. While Estelle's hands were tarnished with the murder of her own baby, both Garcin and Inez are indirectly responsible for the death of those close to them. For Sartre, all three characters are pathetic examples of humankind. Believing that human beings can never hope to understand why they are here, Sartre, like many existentialists, believes that each individual must choose a goal and follow it with passionate conviction, aware of the certainty of death and the ultimate meaninglessness of one's life. Nonetheless, Estelle, Garcin and Inez all exist with no real purpose and therefore are damned to suffer not only in their life, but their afterlife. Garcin may have been the closest to following a goal, but his act of fleeing from revolution and his cowardly death shows that he has no real passion. Estelle is the most superficial of the group, the one with least conviction. She simply uses people to her pleasure and herself as the object of their desire. Inez sees herself as a "damned bitch" and believes that she is in fact damned and belongs in hell. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Characters in Sartre's No Exit Essay Characters in Sartre's No Exit "No Exit," by Jean–Paul Sartre, is a play that illustrates three people's transitions from wanting to be alone in Hell to needing the omnipresent "other" constantly by their sides. As the story progresses, the characters' identities become more and more permanent and unchangeable. Soon Inez, Garcin, and Estelle live in the hope that they will obtain the other's acceptance. These three characters cannot accept their existentialist condition: they are alone in their emotions, thoughts and fears. Consequently, they look to other people to give their past lives and present deaths meaning. Forever trapped in Hell, they are condemned to seek the other for meaning in their lives; even when given the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is futile behavior because he will eventually look to the other for definition. By coming up with solutions, Garcin tries harder and harder to reject the other's dominating presence: "...we'll look at the floor and each must try to forget the others are there" (Sartre 22). Through his acknowledgment of the other's interrogating eye, Garcin is unwillingly admitting his gradual loss of his vision of himself. He is being engulfed by Inez's and Estelle's opinion of him. As soon as Garcin feels his essence and individuality slipping away, he begins to rely on Estelle to cure his loneliness and to give him solidity. He demands that Estelle give him her complete "trust" (Sartre 36) and constant "love" (Sartre 36). Garcin wants Estelle to love him for who he is rather than for sexual reasons. Frustrated by Estelle's rejection of his love, he asks her for her faith in him: "I did not run away...that one person's faith would save me . Will you have faith in me? Then I shall love you and cherish you for ever" (Sartre 39). Garcin needs Estelle, the other, to justify his cowardice to make his past seem noble. Estelle offers Garcin hope for the future and gives him someone to live for. He has a change of heart when Estelle declares, "Anyhow, I'd love you just the same, even if you were a coward" (Sartre 40). He wants everything to be absolute and definite which is quite the opposite of life and of the human experience. Estelle's ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Dumbledore is a gentle, unique, and brilliant man, an innovative thinker who freely voices his opinion, and a great leader. He is the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, founder and leader of the Order of the Phoenix, a Grand Sorcerer decorated with the Order of Merlin, First Class; also Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. Thus, it is anticipated that the propaganda techniques listed below will emphasize these traits to promote Dumbledore, and have a positive and significant impact on his poll results.

Appeal to emotions will be used in all kinds of campaign ads (ads in the internet, television, radio, etc.) to emphasize that Dumbledore is a wise, kind, loving, and forgiving man. Once again, appeal to emotions must be used in appropriate amounts just like stacking the deck so that Dumbledore does not seem like an affectatious person. For example, showing the audience that Dumbledore can change the country can give voters hope and possibly persuade them to vote for Dumbledore. Dumbledore is a marvelous person who is wise and kind. Ergo there will be many places where appeal to emotions can be used. Consequently, voters will for sure be touched and trust Dumbledore in leading their country.

Now, they are stuck in hell together in one room. Garcin, Inez, and Estelle don't know each other and meet for the first time in the room. They are suspicious of each other as to why they were placed in the same room together. They are not quick to reveal what sins they have committed on Earth and slowly reveal it one by one. With each of them having different personalities, they clash and become the perfect torturers for each other in hell. Joseph Garcin used to be a journalist and ran a pacifist newspaper. Garcin's death was caused by 12 bullets fired at him. At first, he appeared to be a gentleman who doesn't want to cause trouble to other people around him. Garcin gently says, "I wish neither of you any harm, and I've no concern with you."(pdf, 11) He wanted to respect and be polite to the two other women in the room with him.

  • 72. Voting In Voting Being able to vote is a privilege that has been granted to us at the age of 18 for over 40 years now. Although 18 year olds and above are granted the opportunity to vote in something that can make a difference in politics not everyone takes the time to participate in voting. Most of the voting has been done by older people because they have had more experience and interest in politics. With that being said I think the more realistic decision to make is keeping 16 and 17– years olds from voting until they reach the age of 18. On November 13, 2017, Annys Shin published an article called Takoma Park 16–year–old savors his history making moment at the polls. In that article Shin explains that in the Montgomery County has been one of the first communities to allow 16 and 17– years olds to vote. The student that have been elected to vote felt important and special for being able to have a say in votes at such a young age. For those who weren't chosen might of not had a problem with it simply because they weren't interested. Even when they teen reach the age of 18 the first thing they think about is not running up to a poll and vote, they have money other ideas then waiting so long to go to the polls and voting at the first opportunity that they get.

Running Head : The Scarlet Letter Running head: The Scarlet Letter The Scarlet letter Ingrid Avila Keiser University In the two works of literature The Scarlet Letter and No Exit, the relationships between the main characters can be used to question morality, and understand righteousness. The relationships in both works follow the same heads and movements, regardless of the time periods they were written in. In the play No Exit, by Jean Sartre, the author attempts to describe his visualization of what Hell is, a subject that many have brood over, but none really know. Sartre was under the impression that Hell had nothing to do with the fire and brimstone, as many people before him believed. He instead voiced his thoughts through the characters of No Exit. "Obviously there aren't any physical torments...and yet we're in hell. And no one else will come here. We'll stay in this room together, the three of us, forever and ever...in short there's someone far away here each of us shall act as the torturer of the two others." The three main characters in this play, Inez, Garcin, and Estelle create the hell they were banished to, but not by using the "racks and red–hot pincers" of the past, but by hurting each other in a disturbed form of a "love triangle", where the love really doesn't exist. In this complicated trio Inez is attracted to Estelle, who is in turn needs a man such as Garcin to yearning and notices her. Garcin can hurt Inez by ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Estelle is by all accounts the most character in the play that lives an inauthentic existence. She tries to misdirect herself by denying the way that she has committed. She suffocated her own youngster in a river, in the wake of having an unsanctioned romance – " There was a balcony overlooking the lake. I brought a stone..." (Sartre, No Exit, 29). The outright opportunity that Sartre talks about, is precisely the same that Estelle needs to surrender. She'd rather exist according to others – or have others characterize her presence. In connection to Hegel, he is the philosopher who believes that individuals either define themselves contrary to others or they look to others to mirror the picture of themselves. (Pandya, lecture notes). This is the most obvious in Estelle's character. She utilizes Inez as her mirror; actually, to characterize herself in light of the fact that she feels she doesn't exist when she can't discover something to advise her you exist. "When I can't see myself I start to think about whether I truly and genuinely exist." (Sartre, No Exit, 19). Estelle here characterizes herself by taking a gander at Inez to mirror her picture of her. This shows she is autonomously ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 78. Essay on Contemplating Sartre's No Exit Contemplating Sartre's No Exit In No Exit, Sartre provides a compelling answer to the problem of other minds through the medium of drama. He puts two women (Inez and Estelle) in one hotel room with one man (Garcin) for all of eternity. This is his concept of hell, and he makes this point in one of the last few lines of the play: "Hell is––other people!" There are no torture racks or red–hot pitchforks in hell because they're after "an economy of man–power––or devil–power if you prefer." Each person is there (in hell) for a specific reason: Garcin because he cheated on and tormented his wife, Estelle because she killed her own child and her lover, then committed suicide, and Inez because she tormented (female) lover until that ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is important to note that Garcin's main fear in life was the fear of being cowardly, and this motivated the majority of his actions, e.g. most of his actions were preformed to demonstrate to himself and others that he is/was "manly"; for instance, his conquests of multiple women, his domination and degradation of his wife, and the way he "courted danger at every turn." However, he performed a cowardly action (fled the country when war broke out) which, when he was caught, led to a cowardly death which he defines as merely "a physical lapse." Additionally, Estelle finds another way to seek approval: she needs Garcin's approval (as the only man there) to establish her superiority over Estelle as an object of desire, by comparison with Inez, the lesbian. Finally, Inez does the same thing, although in a different form, as Estelle and Garcin. She seeks approval over Estelle as a strong, dominant, hones woman, as compared to Estelle, who is a weak, subservient, dishonest woman. Although Inez criticizes Estelle for having a male–dominated personality (which since Inez is a lesbian, she does not), Inez does not realize that she herself has an other–dominated personality.
