Compulsory voting has received scholarly and public attention as a technique to mitigate some of the challenges of low voter turnout. It could help increase the diversity of voters to ensure that more people influence political policies. It would also ensure large voter turnout which would enable underrepresented groups to address their concerns and hold politicians accountable. It might appear to be forcing some people to do something they do not want, but some measures can be implemented to combat this perception. Voting in Jamaica should be made a compulsory duty since it would be beneficial for the citizens and the democratic system without infringing anyone’s rights. Compulsory voting would assist the majority of Jamaican citizens who want to vote, but are unable due to some manageable inconveniences. In Jamaica, as much as 50% of eligible voters do not cast their ballots (Carter). While most people understand that they have a responsibility to vote, they still do not participate in this important process. Elliott found that the most popular reasons for not voting were being busy, conflicting schedules, and transportation issues (662). To solve these types of inconveniences and enable willing voters to vote, voting should be made compulsory which…

I believe that culture, which is characterized by gender, race, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds, plays a critical role in determining and influencing human interactions, behaviors, and expectations in the society. I was born and raised in a small in Northern New Jersey. My younger brother and I had to complement my single mother’s income from several blue-collar jobs by completing different chores and taking up summer jobs as early as at 14 years old. Therefore, I am a descendant of a working culture whose members take pride in fulfilling their material needs through hard work and self-sacrifices, which are the core of the American way of life. Accordingly, family and work are the core tenets of my culture, as demonstrated by the individual and collective efforts of the community to satisfy their desires through genuine dedication and determination.

Racialization begins with understanding the historical background of the Asian American category of people in the United States, this group of people comprises of at least 30 groups. However, the dominant people in the Asian American class are the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese. Within the United States, their cultural, ethnical, and racial differ from that of the Americans. Studies have shown that this group of people do comprise up to 5% of the total population of the Americans. Owing to the absence of laws that govern the immigration for Asian Americans to the US, the majority of them in the year 1965 moved in and settled in the United States (Chang 174). They did this with a variety of reasons key among being to reunite with their family members who were initially there. Besides, they also migrated in large numbers in search of a better educational facility for themselves and sought for working opportunities.

Introduction Each individual must contribute to a sustainable future. However, it is sad to realize that every puff on a cigarette is a guarantee on the partaker’s looming death. Smoking is a ticking time bomb of severe consequences on the whole humanity. That is why most smokers on their death beds regret their disregard for the effects of smoking cigarettes. Tragically, they end up confessing that smoking ended their lives. Smoking is the cause of fatal diseases, such as cancer and some respiratory and vascular illnesses. For instance, CDC(d) outlines that over 16 million Americans are suffering from a condition related to smoking. Besides, smoking claims more than 8 million lives annually (WHO). Thus, it is essential to enlighten the public about the effects of tobacco and the dangers of chemicals contained in cigarettes to secure a brighter future for everyone.

Amos and Andy can be described as a sitcom series with an entirely black main cast that brought unique verve to television humor. Given that the main cast included black actors and actresses, it is evident that the characters were bound to expose several ethnic stereotypes addressed by Ethnic Notions, a 1986 documentary that analyzes black caricatures in media. Such stereotypes arguably depict the life of black Americans while describing a certain level of contrast to the white race. Ethnic Notions lays a foundation for this contrast as it examines several plots and stereotypes relative to the African American community. In particular, the documentary summarizes the depictions of several historical films and television shows. By analyzing the plot and characters in Amos and Andy, it is clear that there is a significant level of continuance in the stereotypic nature of its black characters.

The idea of feminism has always evoked mixed reactions among both men and women. People’s definitions of feminism are influenced by their upbringing, which in most cases, results in a negative depiction of feminism. Even though feminism is about equality and balanced gender roles that do not discriminate against women, it is not easy to change the perceptions and attitudes towards gender roles in modern society. Society’s perception of feminism is a reminder of Roxane Gay’s statement in her book “Bad Feminist” that “rules will never change for girls no matter who they are or what they do.” In modern society, men are celebrated more than women because they are perceived to provide greater value (Gay 2).

Racism and brutality have been concerns for a very long time, with the people of color being on the receiving end on many occasions. Many human rights activists and organizations worldwide have tried to protest against the murders of black people, especially in the hands of authorities. The problem remains persistent to date, as many cases of police brutality against black people keep occurring. The world must consider better ways of addressing the problem of racism and police brutality against black people. A proposition in the form of the policy can serve as a better solution to the problem of racism and police brutality, as it will ensure proper courses of action to take when such incidences happen. Black Lives Matter is a movement that is picking momentum, especially in the United States due to the effect of police brutality against black people. The issue of law enforcement officers using more force when apprehending people of color has become a big issue in the U.S. and across the world. Black people have been experiencing “disproportionate interactions with the criminal justice system” for a long time (Williamson et al. 401). The reason for the quick emergence of the need to address…

Creativity is the ability to find new ideas that deviate from the accepted patterns of thinking, successfully solve problems in a non-standard way, and resolve the issues in certain fields of operation. Creativity involves viewing problems from a different angle and solving them in a unique way. Creative thinking is an essential skill in business, science, culture, art, politics, and other areas of life that involve competition. Many scientists tried to find the connection between creativity and intelligence, creativity and mental health, and creativity and genetics. Experiments show that creativity is more complex than it seems to be and has a strong connection to different fields of science; however, it continues to remain one of the main determinants of success later in life.
