Government and Politics - Towards a Universal View :: Exploratory Essays Research Papers

Towards a Universal View   As a registered voter of manganese I have seen first hand what it takes to get the younger contemporaries to vote. Rule number one Throw out the term younger generation we hate that. It seems as though our, male-dominated-over-fifty-white-washed government system has a tendency to categorize, everything needs to be correlated and filed away. They ask questions like, What do we do with the Native Americans? How can we make better the lives of lower income families This type of fragmentation is far from strengthening our nation. We need to move away from numbers and categories and move towards a more Universal view. I realize that the problems I mentioned above are real issues and they need to be dealt with. But talking about minorities like they are the plague isnt going to help anything.   As you tout ensemble know my governor is none other than Jesse the brain or body or whatever. On the day he was elected a wave of cloudiness swept the coun try. How did a Pro-Wrestler get elected to gloweringice? Simple, he spoke to everybody. Just to warn you this essay is not on how great Jesse is, personally I cant stand him. In every one of his speeches he addressed everybody, there were no boundaries, there were no dividers. Jesse didnt talk about the rich vs. the poor, he didnt talk about black vs. white, he talked about Minnesotans. As a result of this Jesse produced the greatest turn out of 18-24 year-old voters in Minnesota history.   This doesnt mean the Jesse is the smartest goofball in the world. Frankly I feel that he stumbled upon the answer by accident (that is merely my opinion). What he figured out was that you must talk to the voters at eye level. One more time just in case you missed it. TALK TO THE VOTERS AT EYE LEVEL Yes thats right, get down off of your soapbox and talk to us. Wed much rather be talked too than talked about. This isnt about lowering the voting age or sending out flyers or fashioning phone calls. This is about bringing politics back to its roots. What it was way back on the Mayflower. Everybody huddled around that table on that boat and decided the rules. I realize that the population of these United States has risen considerably since then but that is no excuse for moving away from our roots.
