Introduction
My name is Hagan Cowan, a resident of the state of Illinois. I
have lived in this state since I was 11 years old and I have fond
memories of this place well. I was raised by my mother in the
outskirts of this town and I have seen the town grow and thrive
well, with people running their private life with some
challenges. There are some intriguing issues in this state that
have stayed for a long time in the same state with no state
intervention to alleviate the plight of many citizens of this state.
I am dedicating my life to political life in 2020 in order to deal
with some of the most neglected human sectors in order to
improve the life of people in this state.
Position of Leadership
In order to better address the problems which affect us on a
daily life, I intend to run for the position of a governor of this
state come 2020. I have seen enough problems affecting us as
people who live in this state and we don’t want to remain in the
status quo. I know as people we desire to live better lives,
improve their economic lives, and get quality services from the
tax which we pay on a daily basis. It is therefore imperative for
me to give my life to the service of others as a governor of this
state (Wetter 2018). As a governor, I will have an appropriate
platform from where I can handle the problems we have in a
better way. I will use the resources under my custody to ensure
that services are delivered to people. As a governor I will focus
on people oriented services to ensure the lives of my fellow

2. citizens are lifted.
Ideology
My ideologies are based on conservatism because I believe that
social change must take place in order to improve the lives of
the people. This State is comprised of several ethnicities and
therefore every person’s right should be respected (Murray
2012). I believe that for any change to be experienced, all of
people must be involved in doing the right things. Everybody
should be able play their role, no matter however small it is
because in putting our synergy together, we will be able to
improve our lives together (Murray 2012). A time has come
when we must respect what each person does and his/her
properties. People should start owning their property, and this is
the ideology which I belief in. every person in this state should
be given their space to uplift themselves, this is what
conservatism is all about (Murray 2012). By the end of my term,
I want to see people who have challenged the status quo and
have become as independent as possibly is.
Issues for Action
My core concerns eve n as I prepare to take this seat revolves
around four major issues. Firstly, I intend to push for the
Universal Care for all groups of people in this state. Time has
come that we must face the truth without fear (Reece 2013). We
know that the minorities and poor people in this state have not
been receiving the highly needed medical services due to lack
of money when they fall sick. This is basic right to every
American. To achieve this, I will ensure that the monthly
subscription towards accessing the medical care is replaced with
an annual fee paid each year (Reece 2013). I will lower the
amount such that the poor and the minorities are able to access
medication without hitches. The rich will be contributing based
on the level of income in order to offset the difference created.
Secondly, I will address the issue of housing in this state. Many
people living in this state do not have proper houses and
therefore my government will partner with other like-minded
private citizens in order to construct cheap houses for those who

3. have lived for long in filthy housing structures (Reece 2013).
Thirdly, I will deal with the issue of firearms. We know that the
cases of homicides and suicide have increases in the past few
years. I intended to make laws that will allow the use of guns in
a proper and responsible way (Wetter 2018). Every person who
owns a gun should have basic knowledge on how to behave
under different conditions so as not to use their guns
irresponsibly (Reece 2013). Lastly, I will deal with the issue of
ownership of property. People should be allowed to own their
property and make a living form what they have. This will
include the minorities who live amidst us. We are aware that the
current system makes it hard for minorities, and sometimes the
majority groups, to own properties of their own (Reece 2013).
The power of a person is depended by how much he can own
and therefore our vision is to make the process easy so that
every boy can own property, from the least to the great.
Campaign Funds
For my campaign funds, I depend totally on people who believe
on my ideologies and visions to support my course. I have set
good mechanism in place to organize three fundraisers, on
different parts of the state where members will come and
contribute as much they can (Leahy 2011). I will use the social
media as the main campaign channel because most of the people
living in this state are young people who can access social
media easily (Ademiloku and Rotimi 2011)Additionally I will
use the TV to pass my intentions and sell my ideas to the people
of Illinois and request for their support. I also intent to use
banners and flyers in order to ensure my ideologies and vision
get to all areas of this state (Leahy 2011). I will also use weekly
meetings in different towns to raise awareness of my intentions.
I will incorporate volunteers in my campaigns to support my
course as much as possible (Ademiloku and Rotimi 2011). I will
train them on the best way to reach out to the people. I will
require strategists, PR agencies, campaign managers in different
areas, as well as support group to help me in logistics (Leahy
2011). I will ensure that the group that will help me in my

4. campaigns understands my ideologies well and that they are
efficient and effective in all that they do. This will relieve me
of much burden so that I can be able to engage higher
stakeholders and draw them to this course (Ademiloku and
Rotimi 2011). I will also ensure that the volunteers are recruited
based on different competences so that their work is done
professionally without much struggle.
Impression on Politics
The overall impression of this project is that every person who
runs for an office should have a well thought plan and vision in
order to sell his ideology well to the people. a leader should be
a person who has vision for the people and is ready to
communicate well his intentions without fear (Reece 2013). The
leader should be fully prepared and armed with facts and truth
in order to convince people enough to follow him and buy his
ideas. I would like to run for office and leadership in future
because I like serving people. I have the ability to change
people lives and my desire is use a bigger platform to change
many lives for the better.
Conclusion
In conclusion, every person aspiring to lead in a political office
should be have been pushed by the conditions surrounding his
people. He should have a clear transformative agenda towards
his course of leadership in order to convince people of his
intentions and how he is going to approach issues differently
from what other leaders have done. Political offices are
concerned with serving people and delivering services to them.
This should be the understanding of leaders aspiring for
political seats in different capacities. Leadership is about
responsibilities and therefore a leader should be able to see a
gap in the society, look for ways to solve it, and ensure that his
ideas are transformative.

environment or situation, such as artwork that came out of the
internment camps of the Japanese people during WWII.
There are many subjects, such as:
· internment camps during WWII in the US,
· the contemporary artists from either culture, Japanese or
Chinese
· the traditional artwork
· the experiences of the immigration and assimilation for either
the Japanese or Chinese individual or families.
· Or anything else you'd find in researching either group

Asian Culture and Art:
Defining who is considered “Asian” may be a bit more
complicated than one might think. The identity of the modern
Asian is complex and commonly misunderstood, yet is
increasingly vital in an individual’s conception of the
world. 1.3 billion people in China alone, and 127 million in
Japan
There are geographic locations like North, SE, south, etc. (total
of 38% of the world population) but for the purposes of this
course, we will study the East Asian cultures of Japan and
China (We cover West Asia in the Middle East section and
South Asia in the section on Indian culture)
In a world of first generation Asians across the world, the
personal identification of an individual is important. A woman
born in the United States may have parents and ancestry from
China, however she may better identify herself as an Asian-
American, Chinese-American or American rather than Chinese.
Being Asian generalizes the cultures of 49 Asian countries, as
well as the personal identification of those who identify with
the Asian race. It is important to make this definition blatant
because today’s society tends to ignorantly overlook the
differentiation. To many, this may not be pertinent to
understand, but in a society with so many merging cultures,
generalization leads to ignorance, misunderstanding and
ultimately to prejudice and racism.
Art: Both Chinese and Japanese artists have taken a major lead
in the creating of groundbreaking work, including some of the
finest video/installation pieces. I’ve given links to two of the
great ones below.
