I believe Clinton has been in office for several years, meaning she know what she is getting into. Determination and persistence were an integral part of Hillary Clinton character. Her life will always be fascinating and would serve as an example of dedication and commitment to others. (Blumenthal, 2016). In addition, I support Clinton proposals but I am still unsure of the truth or the lies that are involved in this election. It has been hard to clarify my ideas due to media, during this last weeks, media has thrown vast of positive and negatives comments to both president candidates. Candidates running for office strive to shape the way in which they are portrayed by the media (Levy & Krassas, 2008). Many citizens feel the pressure and anxiety of this election, some of them by looking at the polls or by hearing at the media feel discourage to participate in the electoral process. Certainly, being active in politics could lead to many benefits for the society. It is necessarily to express the message that we need to get involved in the society, to teach young people the importance of voting and how the result would affect us for the next four years. Today’s public figures are focusing a lot in nationalities and ethnicities rather in the political general problems. Even candidates for presidency are given a bad example by blaming people of other ethnicity the country’s

    My mother began outlining my future for me from the day I was born. She would tell me that I was destined for greatness and one day I would become the First Lady of the United States. But that never sat well with me because the title of First Lady meant one thing to me: a relinquishment of independence and opinion. It seemed demeaning because the position degraded intelligent women to trivial tasks such as picking which china and flower arrangements to display at a dinner party at the White House. While a First Lady is foremost a hostess, one woman radically changed the perception and outreach of the job.…

    First Lady of the United States, United States Senator, and Secretary of State are some of the titles that have been attached to Mrs. Clinton over the years. However, after her defeat in the 2008 Democratic Party primary to political neophyte and eventual President, Barack Obama many believed that the curtain had come down on her political career. Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton with such tenacity told us to never count her out. Before the election had started, there were calls from all around the Democratic Party’s establishment for her to run, which was tantamount to an anointment as the true successor of President Barack Obama. However, there were those of us who felt that Clinton represented the past, the politics of triangulation, and the character of a chameleon -- someone who would say whatever to achieve her poorly masked goal of sitting in the Oval Office as President of the United States.…

    The race for the 2016 Presidency has brought to light two polar opposite candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Though both are uniquely qualified, the candidate that has earned my support is Hillary Clinton. With over 30 years of political experience and accomplishments, her nomination as the Democratic Presidential candidate was very much self-earned. Three of Hillary’s political platform topics that help solidify my support and my vote are that she “believe(s) in science”; she has a viable plan for an affordable college education and a way to tackle the existing student debt plight, and she wants to reform and fine tune the Affordable Healthcare Act instead of repeal it.…
