Christensen and Haas argue that political movies both reinforce and dissent from public opinions on issues of the day. Regardless, they constantly reiterate messages that cynicism and apathy towards politics is inevitable. They praise films that condemn intolerance and corruption but criticize those that depict politics as evil, ignore collective action, and disparage alternative opinions. The authors admire films like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Reds that portray a more positive vision of democracy.
The document discusses the 2016 US presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, outlining their policy positions on issues like the economy, foreign affairs, migration, health, abortion, and gun control. It also examines topics that will be covered, such as media representation, private and international relations, and the process and style of creating a documentary about the election.
This document discusses George Lipsitz's book "The Possessive Investment in Whiteness" and some of the key concepts and arguments it puts forth. Lipsitz uses the concept of "possessive investment in whiteness" to explain how whiteness generates advantages that are often invisible, such as preferential access to housing and job opportunities. He argues that systemic racism in areas like housing, education, employment, and environmental policy have created social and economic inequalities between white people and people of color in the U.S. The document asks questions about how Lipsitz characterizes white and minority experiences of race in America and how this relates to narratives of meritocracy and progress.
Media's Discursive Influence on the Philippines' War on DrugsMark Raygan Garcia
The presentation analyzes the discursive influence of Philippine media on the government's war on drugs, and the interplay of power between media and government. It also examines the buffering effect of the Duterte administration's populist approach to leadership on alleged media's undermining (direct or indirect) of its campaign against drugs.
This document discusses factors that influence voter turnout and voting decisions. It examines who votes and who doesn't based on demographics like age, gender, income, and education. It explores how political views are shaped over time through socialization and discusses the role of party identification. The document also analyzes why some people choose not to vote and the cognitive factors like political knowledge, media influence, and issue positions that impact how people cast their ballots.
The document discusses several key theories related to conflict, aggression, and violence. It begins by describing different levels of conflict from intra-personal to inter-group. It then covers theories of aggression including Freud's dual instinct theory, Lorenz's built-in instinct theory, and theories that aggression stems from frustration or aversive stimulation. Additional sections discuss aggression as a learned behavior, determinants of aggression, and theories explaining conflict such as human needs theory and identity theory. The document provides frameworks for analyzing the progression and escalation of conflict as well as strategies for conflict prevention, settlement, management, resolution, and transformation.
This document discusses interest groups and their role in influencing policy. It defines interest groups as groups of citizens who share common interests and try to influence policy. It describes different types of interest groups, such as proactive, reactive, homogeneous, and heterogeneous groups. It also outlines some of the functions of interest groups, including representation, participation, education, agenda building, and program monitoring. Finally, it discusses factors that motivate individuals to join interest groups, such as common problems or threats, leadership, and different types of benefits members may receive.

Family mediation Week 1 Conflict TheoryMelanieKatz10
This document provides an overview of a course on conflict resolution. It defines conflict using several perspectives and models, including the "wheel of conflict" and "iceberg model". It emphasizes that conflict arises from unmet human needs and discusses transforming destructive conflicts by understanding interests, emotions, values, history and social structures. The document also provides examples of metaphors that can expand understanding of conflict and contraindications for when conflict resolution may not be appropriate.
This document discusses several key concepts relating to public opinion and political socialization. It defines public opinion as collective political beliefs and attitudes of the public or groups on important government issues. It also outlines factors that influence political socialization such as family, education, peer groups, religion, media, national events, and demographic characteristics. Finally, it notes some potential issues with public opinion polling through ambiguous, leading, and biased word choice in questions.
This document provides an overview of political parties in the United States. It defines political parties as coalitions that recruit candidates, control government, and promote their ideas. It discusses the role of parties in elections, government organization, and linking citizens to government. It also examines factors like party identification, regional variations, and notable third parties. Duverger's law is noted, stating two parties typically emerge under plurality voting systems. Examples of party realignments are provided from the Civil War era to the New Deal coalition.
This document discusses key concepts in public opinion and political socialization. It defines public opinion as collective political beliefs and attitudes of the public or groups on important issues. It also discusses factors that influence political socialization such as formal education, peer groups, religious institutions, political leaders, media coverage, national events, demographics, and ideology. The document cautions that public opinion polls can be ambiguous, leading, or influenced by word choice.
The document discusses how the American political system contributes to poverty from a structural perspective. It argues that the system is designed to protect privileged interests rather than help the poor. Government does less than other nations to reduce poverty through taxes and benefits. Businesses have outsized political influence through lobbying and campaign donations, exacerbating inequality. The two-party system and checks and balances favor those with money. As a result, policies around minimum wage, unemployment insurance, welfare and labor laws do little to help the poor.
Corporations and their role in violent conflictMichelle Ruesch
The presentation is about the role of (multinational) corporations in violent conflict. It is a presentation of Michelle Ruesch's bachelor thesis, given at University College Maastricht in December 2009.
This document discusses how cultural systems shape common perceptions of poverty through popular beliefs and ideologies. It outlines how individualistic explanations of poverty have dominated public discourse since the 1970s, reinforced by terms like "personal responsibility" and the Horatio Alger myth. While some acknowledge structural factors, they still qualify the individualistic perspective. The media also influences perceptions by framing stories episodically and perpetuating stereotypes. Conservative groups further push the individualistic view through extensive lobbying and media campaigns.
The document discusses several individualistic theories of poverty: biogenetic theory, which claims intelligence explains poverty; culture of poverty theory, which argues the poor have dysfunctional values; and human capital theory, which asserts lack of education causes poverty. Each is critiqued for ignoring structural factors like inequality, discrimination, and lack of opportunity that impact poverty beyond individual choices or attributes. While education and skills are important, success depends more on access to social and cultural capital like networks, privilege, and converting human capital into well-paying jobs.
This document provides an overview of political parties in the United States. It defines political parties as coalitions that recruit candidates, control government, and promote their ideas. It discusses the role of parties in elections, government organization, and linking citizens to government. It also examines factors like party identification, regional variations, and notable third parties. Duverger's law is noted, stating two parties typically emerge under plurality voting systems. Examples of realigning elections are provided.
This document discusses structural perspectives on poverty from a sociological viewpoint. It outlines three major social factors that influence poverty: group memberships, neighborhood effects, and social networks. Group memberships like race, gender, and socioeconomic class affect life chances and access to opportunities. Neighborhood effects, such as quality of schools and safety, also impact outcomes. Social networks determine access to information, resources, and support. Together, these social structures shape an individual's susceptibility to poverty beyond individual factors alone.
The document discusses challenges related to housing and social justice, particularly in the context of the foreclosure crisis. It notes that housing is important for access to opportunity and wealth accumulation. However, policies and practices like redlining, discriminatory lending, and racial steering have historically disadvantaged communities of color by limiting housing choice and access. The foreclosure crisis exacerbated existing inequities, stripping wealth and destabilizing neighborhoods. The document calls for responses that address both immediate needs and systemic reform to reshape neighborhoods and housing policies in an equitable manner.
This document provides a historical overview of political parties and presidential elections in the United States from 1932 to present. It discusses how the Democratic and Republican parties realigned over this period, with Southern conservatives leaving the Democratic party for the Republicans and Northern liberals leaving the Republicans. It also analyzes how both parties have battled for the center over issues like government spending, taxes, and social issues. Finally, it provides tips on effective lobbying in California, noting the need to tailor messages to Republicans and Democrats and engage stakeholders through in-person presentations that involve visuals and follow-ups.
This document contains summaries of key concepts in political science:
- It describes the original design of the US presidency and differences between the House and Senate. The House represents proportional population, sits for 2 years. The Senate gives 2 seats to each state, terms are staggered.
- It defines types of campaign funding: direct "hard money" donations and less regulated "soft money".
- It explains swing states that can support either party, and microtargeting of specific demographic ads.
- It outlines valence, position, and wedge issues that candidates emphasize.
- It lists key factors that influence elections: the economy, presidential popularity, time in office of the incumbent party.
- It defines party identification and the coat
The document summarizes several important historical political debates in the United States that helped shape American politics:
1) The 1858 Illinois Senate debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas launched Lincoln to national prominence and helped him get elected as President in 1860, despite losing the Senate election.
2) The first televised presidential debate in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon was viewed by 70 million people and is credited with helping Kennedy win the election by making him appear more youthful and energetic compared to Nixon.
3) The 1976 debate between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter featured Ford's gaffe where he claimed that "there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe," which is seen as contributing to Carter's victory in that
The document discusses various media effects including persuasion, reinforcement, learning, agenda setting, priming, and framing. It provides definitions and examples of each. Agenda setting refers to how the amount of news coverage of an issue influences the public's perception of its importance. Priming is an extension of agenda setting where media coverage changes the criteria used to evaluate political leaders. Framing alters how people think about issues by influencing the importance they attach to certain beliefs through techniques like headlines and photos. Experiments show that news coverage and frames can influence perceptions and criteria for judgment. However, framing effects are limited by people's predispositions and source credibility.
Discussion of permanent campaigning and its impact on public engagement. Sixth lecture for final year students on the Political Communication option in Bournemouth University
Jason Cohen - Presidential Debates Report - Political CommunicationJason A. Cohen
The documentary "Debating Our Destiny" examines the importance of presidential debates since 1960. It interviews candidates about their debate experiences and strategies. Key themes emerged. Debates are mentally grueling as candidates must rebut their opponent and think on their feet. Candidates learned to avoid controversial statements that could hurt them. Additionally, it's important to know the key issues and have an experienced running mate. Saturday Night Live parody sketches often highlighted candidates' mannerisms and how they came across, which could impact voter perception. The documentary and sketches demonstrate debates' ongoing significance in connecting candidates with voters and influencing election outcomes.
Siwiec and Newton Political Ad PaperHarvardRandy Siwiec
This document analyzes a proposed negative attack ad targeting Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan on their stances regarding Medicare and Social Security. The ad would be run by a third party in Florida to influence senior citizens, a key voting bloc. Research shows negative ads can be effective if they transfer fear and anger to the target. The ad highlights Ryan's past proposals to reform entitlements and ties Romney to these views. Focus groups found the ad provoked strong emotions, suggesting it could influence seniors and potentially sway the close election in Florida.
This document discusses several topics related to political science including public opinion, political socialization, polling, and survey methodology. It defines public opinion and its components of salience, stability, direction, and intensity. It also outlines several key agents of political socialization like family, education, peer groups, religious institutions, media, and national events. Additionally, it introduces common polling topics, populations and samples, biases, question wording issues, and types of polls.

Presidential campaign advertisements and their implications for change in pre...Jessica Sullivan
This document summarizes a high school student's research project analyzing presidential campaign advertisements from 1952 to 2016. The student grouped elections into categories based on similarities in ad themes and content. The groups were: the Post-War Elections (1952-1956), the Change Elections (1960-1968), the Character Elections (1972-1984), the Negative Elections (1988-2000), and the Modern Elections (2004-2012). Each era reflected the key issues and values of that time period. The student concluded that campaign ads provide insight into a generation's political hopes and fears.
The document discusses several controversial political advertisements from 1964, 1988, and 2008. It analyzes the "Daisy Girl" ad from 1964, which aired once but was replayed extensively in the news and saw by over 40 million people, making it highly effective. It also examines the 1988 "Revolving Door" ad about Willie Horton and the 2008 "3am" ad featuring Hillary Clinton, both of which used emotional imagery and messages to portray the candidates. The document considers how these ads used television effectively yet controversially to influence viewers' perceptions and judgments through implicit biases.

Expected Outcomes
To understand how political candidates conduct campaigns; to comprehend how the American electoral system works and how the electoral map reveals political turning points; and to analyze the style and substance of leading candidates in the 2008 election.
Overview
Today, American politics has come a long way since the days of whistle-stop tours and street pamphlets, which, before the age of television, encapsulated political messages.
Some Presidential Campaign Slogans from the Past
1860 Abraham Lincoln "Vote Yourself a Farm"
1864 Abraham Lincoln "Don't Swap Horses in the Middle of the Stream"
1888 Benjamin Harrison "Rejuvenated Republicanism"
1896 William McKinley "Patriotism, Protection, and Prosperity"
1900 William McKinley "A Full Dinner Bucket"
More sophistication has now entered the process of campaign and elections. Politicians hone their messages with “focus groups” and, often, modify their positions based on opinion polls.
As this Lesson travels across time, it reveals that the technology and sophistication of campaigns has changed dramatically. That being said, it is not possible to say that campaigns are more substantive today than in previous decades or centuries.
In the age of the whistle-stop tour, not many Americans were exposed to political messages – but those who were often got an earful. Consider, for example, the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 (held for a US Senate seat from Illinois), were complex, nuanced, and substantive. Today, television enables candidates to reach out to tens of millions of people, but they often do so with a simplistic mix of soundbites, catchphrases and bumper-sticker slogans.
Elections for Congress are held at the state level, and rules vary from state to state. This unit is primarily concerned with campaigns and elections for national office – for the Presidency.
The United States Electoral College is the official name of the group of Presidential Electors who are chosen every four years to cast the electoral vote and thereby elect the president and vice president of the United States. It was established by Article Two, Section One of the United States Constitution, which provides for a quadrennial election of Presidential Electors in each state.
In each election, there are 538 possible electoral votes to be won (270 are needed to win), with large states such as California worth more than small states such as Rhode Island. There is a rough but not exact correlation between population size and electoral votes.
The Electoral College dilutes the votes of population centers that might have different concerns from the rest of the country. The system is supposed to require presidential candidates to appeal to many different ty ...
This document discusses the concepts of political socialization and public opinion polling. It addresses the various socializing agents that influence people's political beliefs such as family, education, peers, religious institutions, political leaders, and the media. National events can also impact political socialization. Younger generations may be socialized differently than older ones based on defining historical events. Public opinion polls measure concepts like political attitudes, salience, stability, direction, and intensity. They can be influenced by factors like economic self-interest, ideology, education, age, gender, race, religion, and geographic region. Different types of polls include national polls, campaign polls, exit polls, and pseudo-polls.
Bob Dole ran for the Republican nomination for President in 1996. He used a strategy of campaigning in all states rather than conceding any as unwinnable. In early primaries and caucuses, Pat Buchanan and Steve Forbes won some contests, putting Dole's front-runner status in doubt. However, Dole went on to win every contest starting with North and South Dakota, securing the nomination. At the Republican National Convention, Dole was formally nominated for President with Jack Kemp as his running mate. In the general election, Dole debated President Bill Clinton but ultimately lost the close national popular vote while winning some competitive states.
The document summarizes the platforms and recent histories of four major American political parties: Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Greens. Democrats regained control of Congress and the presidency in recent elections. Republicans lost the presidency in 2008 and control of Congress in 2006/2008. Libertarians seek maximum individual freedom and peaceful cooperation. Greens work for an America with decisions made by people, not corporations, and environmental sustainability.
Rudy Giuliani served as mayor of New York City during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, where he provided strong leadership during the crisis response and recovery efforts. However, his reputation and leadership abilities have been called into question in recent years due to his involvement in various legal controversies and his role advising former President Trump. While Giuliani was widely praised for his leadership on 9/11, some argue that his more recent actions have irreparably damaged his legacy, though others believe his contributions during the attacks still outweigh his current controversies. There is debate around how history will remember Giuliani and whether his leadership strengths were situationally dependent or a reflection of inherent personal abilities.
The document discusses American elections and campaigns. It examines how elections determine who governs, what matters most in deciding presidential and congressional elections, and whether elections make a real difference in laws passed. It also covers how campaigns have changed over time with new technology and firms performing campaign tasks. Campaign financing is discussed, including money sources and rules. Factors that can decide elections like party affiliation, issues like the economy, and finding a winning voter coalition are analyzed.
3 Key Marketing Strategies from Biden-Harris 2020 - @idiaogalaIdia Ogala
The Biden-Harris 2020 campaign utilized three key marketing strategies:
1) They engaged younger and Black American audiences through non-traditional platforms like The Breakfast Club and The Shade Room, as well as traditional methods like phone calls and mailers.
2) Biden focused his messaging on Trump's poor handling of COVID-19 to illustrate how he would better rise to the challenge as president.
3) Biden appointed diverse campaign staffers, chose Kamala Harris as his running mate, and created an initiative focused on Black communities to reward loyalty from this important voting block.
