The Importance of Winning There is an old saying “ It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” How true is this? Can this be applied to all situations in life? This may be pertinent to children in schools who participate in trivial events such as sports, for example. However, with these types of ideas we are saying that losing is fine. Consequently, youths are goaded to contend with the ideas of being losers and also-rans. In events such as sports, politics, and even war
Elections are supposed to function as a peaceful means for making decisions and settling political differences. But they do not always function in this way: sometimes, they trigger political violence. Especially ethnically divided societies are often thought to be prone to such dynamics.

Working with these cases, it asks, first, whether the presence of ethnic diversity must lead to violence

Previous to the election, the Federalists disappeared during the war of 1812 because they were labeled as traitors. Because of this, political rivalries and conflicts were at an all time low, and only one political party with one candidate would run for office.

The Republican Party attacked the Federalists for being anti-liberty and monarchist and tried to persuade the public that the Federalists were
The aim of this essay is to explore the idea of whether the National Front in France is a racist party. The French National Front or the Front National (FN) was founded in 1972 and is a nationalist, socially conservative and economically protectionist party.

with government’s values. Another example of questionable government censorship was in 2008, when film star Brigitte Bardot posted complaints online about the Islamic practice of ritual animal slaughter, and was later found guilty of hate speech by French authorities. There many more examples just like these ones in which the government abuses their ability to censor their citizens. By enacting hate speech laws, governments are given too much power to censor their
The 2008 democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and the republican presidential nominee John McCain are both very well political speakers when it comes to the presidential election, but have certain issues that they differ on.

As organized, more modern sub-states of a larger empire began to identify their collective fate along with their cultural, political, and ethnic unity, nationalism arose giving way to the creation of nation states. Both the American and French Revolution were a direct result of nationalism. In the 19th century, nationalism was a particularly strong force as it typically was the key element for the independence and national unification of many nations in Europe and North America.

James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and others understood

The next week, fifteen more party officials were arrested along with thirty five party members, making it the largest persecution of a political party since 1964.
