I created a 20 x 20 PowerPoint presentation for my Media and Politics. This presentation examines how the 2016 presidential primaries in the U.S. election is introduced in the Mexican press (El Universal) from January 1st to April 12th 2016.
Slide 6 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016WestCal Academy
Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.
This document summarizes a lecture on Western political thought covering several topics:
1) The first and second Red Scares in the US after World War I and World War II, where communist sympathizers were persecuted.
2) Speeches by Attorney General Mitchell Palmer and Senator Joseph McCarthy accusing people of disloyalty and promoting fear of communism.
3) Theories of how elites control and manipulate information flow and public opinion through propaganda and controlling the media narrative. Examples of propaganda films from the Cold War era are discussed.
Political cartoons from the Cold War era aimed to humorously represent controversial political issues in a simplified visual format. They used caricatures and symbols to comment on topics like the space race, arms race, and democracy vs. communism between the US and USSR. The cartoons were typically found in newspaper editorials and comics pages. Understanding political cartoons involves examining the exaggerated visual focus, surrounding context clues, implied audience perspective, relevant world events, and symbolic representations of groups or ideas.
The document discusses the evolution of street gangs through three generations: first, turf-oriented gangs focused on local criminal activity and protection; second, entrepreneurial gangs protecting drug markets using violence; third, highly sophisticated gangs with global political and economic aims operating like militaries. Key factors driving this evolution are politicization, internationalization, and sophistication. Potential third generation gangs mentioned include MS-13, Gangster Disciples, and others. These gangs pose significant national security threats due to their power, violence, ability to target states, and operate across borders.
1) The document discusses the meaning and history of liberalism, noting that while liberal values like personal freedom and equal concern for all are widely embraced, the term "liberal" has taken on negative connotations in some political circles.
2) It summarizes a book by Alan Wolfe that aims to reconnect political language with political facts by laying out what liberalism really amounts to - nourishing human liberty while also promoting equality.
3) The document concludes that while Wolfe's defense of liberal values was written before recent economic crises, his call for active government to foster equal liberty remains relevant, and the term "liberal" may regain its former pride and prestige.
The document contains captions and summaries for 12 cartoons by Herb Block depicting McCarthyism in the United States during the Cold War. The cartoons satirize the anti-communist hysteria led by Senator Joseph McCarthy and his unsubstantiated accusations of communist influence. They show how McCarthyism threatened civil liberties and suppressed political dissent through blacklisting and persecution of anyone deemed un-American.
The document discusses myths and realities in political news coverage. It summarizes research showing that most Americans perceive news to be biased and inaccurate. The document then discusses factors that influence news content, including journalists' attitudes, organizational pressures, and economic forces. It also notes that most news focuses on prominent figures rather than average citizens. The concept of "gatekeeping" in news is introduced, where billions of potential stories are filtered down to a few hundred. Definitions of news bias and its aspects are provided. The document analyzes media coverage of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin's presidential campaigns through both journalistic and gender role perspectives.
Pol 252_SP15_ authoritarian_regimes_democratic_breakdownatrantham
The document discusses different types of authoritarian regimes. It defines authoritarianism as rule by a single individual or small elite without democratic accountability. Examples of authoritarian regimes mentioned include totalitarian states like the Soviet Union under Stalin, monarchies, and military dictatorships. Common features of authoritarian rule include the use of ideology to mobilize support, a dominant political party led by a strong leader, state control of media, and the use of terror against dissidents. The passage suggests that authoritarian models may become less sustainable over time as access to information on the internet and social media makes it harder for authoritarian rulers to rely on ignorance.

Modern America saw the rise of the creditor nation as new industries drove mass production and competition led to overproduction. Society experienced the growth of worker unions and welfare programs as traditional family roles changed with more women, including flappers, working outside the home. The period also saw repression, intolerance, and politics of complacency as the Red Scare fostered xenophobia, the KKK targeted immigrants and minorities, and urban Democrats clashed with traditional Democrats under Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.
The 21 Biggest Lies About Donald Trump and You!Theotis Davis
In "The 21 Biggest Lies About Donald Trump (And You!)", author Kurt Schlichter refutes the falsehoods aimed at the scores of millions of Americans who proudly support President Trump. Donald Trump has a bond with his supporters that his unique in recent presidential history.
America faced a severe economic crisis in the 1930s known as the Great Depression. The stock market crash of 1929 triggered widespread unemployment, poverty, and other social problems. President Hoover initially relied on voluntary measures, but President Roosevelt later implemented the New Deal program starting in 1933 to provide relief through jobs programs and reform the financial system, with mixed economic and political results. The decade was also marked by severe dust storms known as the Dirty Thirties.
The document outlines key aspects of the Progressive Era in the United States from the late 19th to early 20th century. It discusses the roots of progressivism in urban reform efforts and its growth at local, state, and national political levels. Three progressive US presidents from this era, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson, are mentioned. Women's suffrage and issues of gender equality and working women are covered as part of women and progressivism. The document also summarizes blacks and progressivism, noting race relations, Jim Crow laws, and civil rights organizations formed in this period. Finally, it briefly outlines immigration trends and groups that immigrated to the US during the Progressive Era.
This dissertation examines African American support for the Vietnam War during the Johnson administration from 1965-1969. It argues that historians have oversimplified African American opinion on the war by focusing only on anti-war sentiment. In reality, many African Americans supported the war due to Johnson's pro-civil rights stance and the opportunities presented by an integrated military. Leaders of the NAACP and National Urban League supported the administration's war policies, reflecting the views of broader African American communities. The dissertation explores the relationship between civil rights leaders, the African American community, and the Johnson White House to understand the complex roots and consequences of African American war support during this pivotal period.
Communism, McCarthy, and the Salem Witch Trialsmeg_reddick
After World War II, the United States and Soviet Union became enemies due to their opposing ideologies of democracy and communism. This began an arms race and period of espionage between the two countries as they competed globally and suspected infiltration by the other. During the 1950s, Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed that communists had infiltrated the US government, leading to widespread witch hunts against suspected communists across various industries such as Hollywood. This climate of fear and suspicion became known as McCarthyism.
Joseph McCarthy was a U.S. senator in the early 1950s who led a controversial campaign against supposed Communist infiltration of the U.S. government. He accused many people of being Communists without providing evidence. This period became known as McCarthyism. Arthur Miller wrote the play The Crucible in 1953 as an allegory for McCarthyism, depicting the Salem witch trials as a metaphor for the anti-communist hysteria and investigations. The play was a critique of the tactics used during the McCarthy era like interrogations and accusations without proof.
The lesson plan examines McCarthyism and the Red Scare of the 1950s. Students will critically examine the political, social, and cultural impact of McCarthyism in America and analyze how it responded to fears of communism during the Red Scare. The teacher will give a lecture on the Red Scare, where hysteria over communism led to investigations of suspected communists. They will also cover McCarthyism, where Senator Joseph McCarthy falsely accused hundreds of government employees of being communists, fueling paranoia. Students will then discuss in groups how the Red Scare led to McCarthyism and its repressive policies that blacklisted many in the entertainment industry.
The document lists the author's 11 favorite American presidents in order, providing their name, which number president they were, dates in office, vice presidents, who preceded and succeeded them, and political affiliation for each one. The presidents span from the 1st president, George Washington, to the 40th president, Ronald Reagan. Key presidents included are John F. Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Bill Clinton.
After WWII and during the 1940s-1950s, Joseph McCarthy took advantage of American fears about communism. He developed a list of around 200 government employees he claimed were communist infiltrators. Many people were accused of being communists, including government officials, writers, and entertainers. Their careers were often destroyed. McCarthyism led to paranoia and hysteria before beginning to decline in 1954 when McCarthy died in 1957. It showed how susceptible people can be to accusations and suspicion.
The Crucible Historical Context and Literary MeritMrs. Janovitz
The document provides historical context about Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. It discusses that the play was set during the Salem Witch Trials of the 17th century but was intended as an allegory for McCarthyism and the Red Scare of the 1950s. Joseph McCarthy led aggressive investigations to root out communists from the US government and private industries during this time, making reckless accusations without evidence. Miller used the play to draw parallels between the witch hunts of Salem and McCarthy's communist investigations.
The document summarizes several social movements that emerged in the 1960s in the United States, including the student movement, anti-war movement, counter-culture movement, ethnic nationalism movements focusing on Chicano and Native American groups, feminist movement, and gay rights movement. These diverse movements protested issues like the Vietnam War, social conformity, racial and gender inequality, and sought greater individual freedoms and social change.
FILM STUDIES - Section C revision - part 2Belinda Raji
Both To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) and A Time to Kill (1996) reflect the messages and values of the times in which they were made through their themes of bigotry, justice, perspective, and moral courage. To Kill a Mockingbird reflects the Civil Rights Movement of the early 1960s through Atticus Finch's dignified and brave defense of Tom Robinson against racial prejudice and an unjust legal system. A Time to Kill reflects racial issues and a distrust of the legal system in the 1990s, alluding to the Rodney King beating and OJ Simpson trials, through its portrayal of circumventing and distorting justice due to bias. Both films use their Southern settings and narratives of racial injustice to
This document analyzes Donald Trump's successful presidential campaign through the lens of entertainment, gesture, and spectacle. It argues that Trump's unconventional political style, which diverged from norms through depictive gestures that caricatured opponents, brought momentum to his campaign by creating compelling spectacle. His exaggerated bodily portrayals of others accorded him visual capital in a mediatized political environment driven by celebrity. The document examines how Trump's comedic performances, through verbal and gestural strategies that lampooned opponents, crafted characterizations that opposed political correctness while dominating news cycles and attracting viewers.
What is McCarthyism? And how did it happen? Alicia Garcia
In the 1950s during the McCarthy era in the United States, thousands of individuals were aggressively investigated by government panels seeking to expose suspected Communists. Named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, the phenomenon of McCarthyism destroyed lives and careers through these political witch hunts. The video traces the history of how McCarthyism took off in the United States as a campaign to root out Communists from positions of influence in government and society.
The author argues that while the protests in Ferguson do not themselves constitute a social movement, they could represent a tipping point that transforms the broad struggle between liberty and order in the US. To be considered a true movement, the protests would need to embrace confrontation more fully to raise the stakes and risk personal commitment beyond just recognizing injustice. The shooting highlights issues of race and police militarization that protests against could mobilize as a movement if confrontation increases.
The document discusses how governments may not truly represent the people and instead serve hidden powers. It argues that the mafia infiltrated many industries and governments after WWII, including through the CIA and military. The mafia uses propaganda techniques to control populations by sowing fear and influencing behavior. It claims the mafia has been able to operate unchecked due to governments acting as a "smoke screen" to hide their activities from the public.
Donald Trump has maintained his lead in Republican primary polls since announcing his candidacy in June 2015. There are three theories for his success: 1) He has tapped into widespread populism, nativism, and anti-elite sentiment among Republican voters. 2) His controversial statements have driven massive media coverage, correlating his polling numbers to his outsized media presence. 3) The lack of a consensus alternative among Republican elites has created a power vacuum that Trump has filled. Trump's rise is likely due to an overlap of all three factors.
The consequences of conquest of power in the united states for donald trumpFernando Alcoforado
Donald Trump has his campaign for the presidency of the United States based on the defense of law and order in which leave evidenced his authoritarian personality traits. Trump presented gladiator logic. Everything revolves around the conquest of the US supremacy. Trump proposes to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to prevent the entry of Latin American, prohibit the entry of Muslims in the country and isolate the United States in the world. For decades, the Republican Party represented abroad, an international order toward the future led by the United States, and, at home, democratic capitalism with little government intervention in the economy. Trump decimates this and other things that Republicans defended and represented.
The document discusses trends in traditional news coverage of elections and how different actors, including the media, voters, and candidates, influence that coverage. It notes that while politicians often blame negative media coverage solely on the media, John Zaller provided alternative explanations by analyzing how the goals of all three groups impact coverage. For example, candidates' increased control over messaging has led to more press-initiated negativity as the media pushes back on restricted access. The document also examines how trivial and negative coverage has consequences for how the public views politics.
The Daily Mirror case study - Media StudiesElle Sullivan
The Daily Mirror published an edition on November 10th, 2016 following Donald Trump's election victory. The front page features an image of a weeping Statue of Liberty with the headline "What have they done?". Inside, articles analyze Trump's improbable win, liken it to Brexit, and represent his supporters as predominantly white males. The newspaper constructs Trump and his backers using signs that frame them as a specific cultural group and transmit ideas about social inequalities and the subordination of other groups.
This study analyzed the tone of Fox Business Network's coverage of presidential candidates Donald Trump and John Kasich during the 2016 primaries. It found that Trump received more negative coverage (67%) than Kasich (52%), supporting the hypothesis that the media has a pro-establishment bias. The coverage focused most on candidates' character and horserace performance. Trump was depicted negatively as unpolished and offensive, while Kasich was seen as too passive. Reporters often expressed opinions on which candidate would win primaries based on campaign strategies. Kasich received more positive coverage of his policies due to his experience in government budgets. The study found evidence that the media frames candidates in ways that shape public perceptions.

Donald Trump as Presidential CandidateSamuel Jolly
The document analyzes Donald Trump's candidacy for president and argues he should not be president due to his history of racist statements. It discusses polling data showing many of Trump's supporters hold racist views. It also examines Trump's role in the wrongful prosecution of the Central Park Five and how his rhetoric has not changed. Overall, the document uses various sources like articles, polls and documentaries to show Trump appeals to racism and would negatively impact the Republican party and promote intolerance if elected president.
The Daily Mirror published a front page on November 10th, 2016 in opposition to Donald Trump's election victory. The front page features an image of a weeping Statue of Liberty with dark clouds in the background and the headline "What have they done?". Inside articles liken Trump's win to Brexit and suggest it was driven by white, middle-class voters concerned with immigration and job losses. Representations of Trump and his supporters aim to portray them as predominantly white males. Theoretical perspectives are used to analyze how the newspaper constructs meaning through signs and representations to transmit particular ideological messages to readers.
Fascism renaissance in the united states with donald trumpFernando Alcoforado
Noam Chomsky, philosopher and professor at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), warned that fascism could happen in the United States. He said that for over 30 years, real incomes have stagnated or declined in the United States, the official unemployment rate is around 10 percent and in the industry sector reached levels of the Depression in 1929 (See Article Chomsky Warns Of Risk Of Fascism in America !, published on the website <http: />). Chomsky drew a parallel among the Weimar Republic in Germany with today's United States. The Weimar Republic was crushed by the Nazis in 1933. The same will be repeated in the United States with Donald Trump in power?
In US presidential elections are confronted Hillary Clinton who defends globalization and maintaining the balance of power between the great powers in the international and Donald Trump who opposes globalization and seeks recovery of world hegemony by the United States. Donald Trump, which is a reaction aimed at reversing the global decline of the United States shows political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation against the economic decline, humiliation and victimization of the country and the defense of compensatory cult of national unity and power, in which seek through the redemptive violence and without ethical controls or legal objectives of external expansion. The Trump action could lead to the risk of international instability and hence world conflagration.
1) The document summarizes Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's controversial statements calling for banning all Muslims from entering the United States and potentially requiring Muslim Americans to register in a government database.
2) It draws comparisons between Trump's statements and Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews, including forcing Jews to wear gold Stars of David to identify their religion.
3) A political science professor is quoted saying that while Trump may not advocate for a corporatist state like fascist parties, he illustrates characteristics of fascist movements such as stereotyping an entire religious group.
The document discusses how pollsters and quantitative analysts failed to accurately predict Trump's victory in the 2016 US presidential election, while cultural anthropologists also struggled to understand and explain the Trump phenomenon. It argues that anthropologists should have taken a more dispassionate, ethnographic approach to analyze American society and culture, rather than reacting emotionally like distraught Hillary supporters. The document examines why American anthropologists did not employ their skills in participant observation and instead struggled to comprehend Trump's election, just like the numbers-focused pollsters.
Agrarian Origins Of Authoritarian Populism In The United States What Can We ...Vernette Whiteside
This document summarizes a journal article that examines the historical roots of authoritarian populism in the United States, with a focus on small farmer and farm labor organizing in California and the Midwest. The key points are:
1) California and the Midwest have seen the development of new strategies by capitalist growers and business allies to assert class power through authoritarian populist ideologies and tactics, paving the way for national right-wing successes.
2) Socially conservative cultural norms and alliances have been central to organizing this incipient authoritarian populist hegemony.
3) Radicalism, liberalism, and liberal policy changes have often fueled the rise of conservative populisms.

How Stephen Miller Seized the Moment to Battle Immigration
By Jason DeParle
The New York Times
August 27, 2019
WASHINGTON—When historians try to explain how opponents of immigration
captured the Republican Party, they may turn to the spring of 2007, when George W.
Bush threw his waning powers behind a legalization plan and conservative populists
buried it in scorn.
Mr. Bush was so taken aback, he said he worried about America “losing its soul,” and
immigration politics have never been the same.
That spring was significant for another reason, too: An intense young man with wary,
hooded eyes and fiercely anti-immigrant views graduated from college and began a
meteoric rise as a Republican operative. With the timing of a screenplay, the man and
the moment converged.
Stephen Miller was 22 and looking for work in Washington. He lacked government
experience but had media appearances on talk radio and Fox News and a history of
pushing causes like “Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.” A first-term congresswoman
from Minnesota offered him a job interview and discovered they were reading the same
book: a polemic warning that Muslim immigration cold mean “the end of the world as
we know it.”
By the end of the interview, Representative Michele Bachmann had a new press
secretary. And a dozen years later, Mr. Miller, now a senior adviser to President Trump,
is presiding over one of the most fervent attacks on immigration in American history.
The story of Mr. Miller’s rise has been told with a focus on his pugnacity and paradoxes.
Known more for his enemies than his friends, he is a conservative firebrand from liberal
Santa Monica, Calif., and a descendant of refugees who is seeking to eliminate refugee
programs. He is a Duke graduate in bespoke suits who rails against the perfidy of so-
called elites. Among those who have questioned his moral fitness are his uncle, his
childhood rabbi and 3,400 fellow Duke alumni.
Less attention has been paid to the forces that have abetted his rise and eroded
Republican support for immigration — forces Mr. Miller has personified and advanced
in a career unusually reflective of its times.
Rising fears of terrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks brought new calls to keep immigrants
out. Declining need for industrial labor left fewer businesses clamoring to bring them in.
A surge of migrants across the South stoked a backlash in the party’s geographic base.
Conservative media, once divided, turned against immigration, and immigration-
reduction groups that had operated on the margins grew in numbers and sophistication.
Abandoning calls for minority outreach, the Republican Party chose instead to energize
2
its conservative white base — heeding strategists who said the immigrant vote was not
just a lost cause but an existential threat.
Arriving in Washington as these forces coalesced, Mr. Miller rode the tailwinds with zeal
and skill. Warning of terrorism and disturbed by multic ...

This document summarizes Stephen Miller's rise to prominence as an immigration hardliner and senior adviser to President Trump. It describes how Miller was shaped by growing anti-immigration sentiment among Republicans as immigration levels increased and shifted demographically. As an aide to conservative members of Congress starting in his early 20s, Miller helped promote restrictionist views and policies. He advanced within the Trump administration by taking increasingly hardline stances on issues like border security and refugee admissions. The document analyzes how Miller embodied and advanced the anti-immigration movement as it gained influence within the Republican party.

Bernie sanders, social democrat, threats to defeat trump in the presidential ...Fernando Alcoforado
Senator Bernie Sanders is back. He has just launched his candidacy for the presidency of the United States, and he does so as a representative of the left among the Democratic Party's pre-candidacies. He is not afraid to declare himself a socialist. Its radicality and transparency are understandable. Bernie Sanders says he cannot be centrist or confused to face extreme inequalities in the United States, challenge the control of large American companies over political life and curb global warming.
Indexing theory of political mass communication - Prepared by Fiza Zia Ul HannanDr. Fiza Zia Ul Hannan
The document discusses the relationship between media and foreign policy. It outlines several key theories on this relationship, including Walter Lippmann's view that the public is dependent on media for information, Bernard Cohen's argument that media can become instruments of public officials, and the indexing hypothesis proposed by Bennett that media coverage reflects the range of views among elites. The indexing hypothesis suggests media give more attention to elite viewpoints and are more critical when elites disagree. Several studies provide empirical evidence supporting indexing theory, though some critics argue it overlooks the possibility journalists may take independent stances.
The document summarizes a presentation about trends in media coverage of Hillary Clinton around the 2014 midterm elections. It analyzes coverage of Clinton in traditional news sources and online from October 21st to November 18th. The analysis found that 70% of articles mentioned Clinton as a potential 2016 presidential candidate. Coverage focused on her campaigning before the election and her status afterward. Liberal sources were generally more favorable in tone while conservative sources campaigned against a 2016 Clinton run. The document recommends developing relationships with allied reporters, connecting campaign messages to economic concerns, and monitoring online conversations to address issues before they spread.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
