Rijal 1 Rijal 3 Sakrina Rijal Sherry Sharifian Government 2306 10/26/17 How much does it cost to run for an office? According to the research there are many reasons why people chose to run for an office. There are 4 main reasons why they do so, that is personal, opportunities, psychological, and altruistic.

These candidates are running because they want to be on spotlight, they want respect from people and earn more money turning into lobbyist in future. Some of them don’t care about the issues but only care about their prestige. Some people run for office looking for opportunity for future. They take time to build …show more content…
1 According to the Texas tribune “Last year, Donald trump’s presidential campaign spend about half of what Hilary Clinton’s campaign did and managed to win the white house”. This clearly shows that no amount of money you spend will secure your side. So, you can’t win campaign based solely on a money and you can’t run a campaign without money. Because to run a campaign you need to be able to collect money from the people who are most likely to give you like family, friends, relatives, neighbor etc. There are many ways how you can collect the money, first you need to collect the money from the people whom you already know, and you are established within them and the people who are most likely to trust you and give you the money. It’s easier to ask them money and there is a lot of probabilities of getting help from them. 2 Looking at how much the candidates spend per vote suggests money doesn’t make a difference in outcome. 1 Some cases in the past shows that you must have better name and recognition or the right party affiliation for that district and you don’t have to spend much money on them. However, there are some of the most expensive campaigns was run by the people who were never heard. If we look at the analysis from the candidates of 2016 general election Roy Owens spend over $61.52 per vote his vote was 1, 151 and he spent over $70,805.43 unlike Roy Owens, Rodney Anderson spends only $17.05 per …show more content…
4 In 1960, John Kennedy was endorsed by Rat Pack Member Sammy Davis and Dean Martin. Also, Orpah Winfrey, George Clooney supported president Barak Obama. If I were to choose any celebrity than I do go, choose Orpah Winey because she is very famous among the people. He has huge fan following and people trust her and get inspired her a lot. In the time of president Obamas election, she used to go talk about Barak Obama, people who were not aware about him also came to know about him. Therefore, we cannot ignore that a celebrity who has a very huge fan following and if people trust them it’s always a benefit to be endorsed by them in the time of election because voters tends to listen more to them than the candidate. They are more familiar faces them the candidates. If I had to choose among the magazines to publish about me then I would probably choose times magazine and women magazines because I want to have more young people known about me and represents my voice. The country depends on youth, if they believe something it’s more likely to happen. To get more vote I would mostly depend on youth and women. Though. I see male and female in the same coins. There are still some issues that female don’t get advantage of. The country depends on youth, I want them to be happy. Happier the citizen you have you have more peace and prosperity in your
Celebrity endorsements can make or break a product and even a company. Especially in today’s world many teens will buy a product just predominantly based on who endorses it. For example, Beyoncé promotes both Pepsi and H&M. She is a great representative for both because she is a really big celebrity and she is very well known. She also has a lot of influence. Young girls would love to dress like her and with H&M endorsing her they get that demographic. Pepsi made a good choice because she, like the previous celebrities they endorsement deals with, is a very public figure with a very big name. Many teens and young ...
Though, it would be refreshing to elect an official who remained focused on the best interest of their constituent, the reality is, special interest groups hold the purse. We must set term limits to prevent corruption and give the new comer on the block a fighting
In the society we live in, gender plays a great role, is not biological rader it’s refereed to as a social behavior pattern. It is constructed on male and female character and traditional beliefs. The society has often reflected its passion on gender roles. For instance In the media today women are given roles that suit men which makes them challenge men for their right, they are represented as entertainment for men, women are likely to be the source of leading news stories nowadays.
One area in which celebrities have become extremely involved is that of political campaigns. Politicians want celebrity endorsements in order to become more visible and more popular with different age groups. One survey shows that forty percent of 18 to 24 year olds were influenced by celebrities’...
As a result of the court case Arizona Free Enterprise v. Bennett, it was decided that citizens should be encouraged to help in financing campaigns. When there is increased participation from citizens, self-governance is greatly facilitated. The goal of public financing is to push citizens to help the political candidate of their choice financially. Many reformers have suggested that there is too much money in politics. Statistically, this is proven to be wrong. In the 2008 election, there were 64% of Americans that were eligible to vote. There were only about 10% that give money to the campaigns, and not even 0.5% who are responsible for the bulk amount of money collected by the politicians (Overton, 2012).
...e an effect on our politics, its very important for a candidate running for president to have a popular celebrity endorse them as president, just like Oprah did for Obama in the 2008 election. Giving celebrities huge amounts of power over everything in our society. But what does Justin Biber know about the economy, or what does Oprah know about running a country? Thats the thing, they don’t know, and because people blindly vote on a presdient only because most the celebrities like him, is causing our political figures to care less about the everyday citizen, and work harder to please the celebrity that helped him get elected.
College can lead to satisfaction in life that may benefit you in the long run; however, the price to attend an institute of higher learning can be quite expensive. Going to college could be an advantage, helping you to potentially get a job, but it could leave students in debt and without a plan to pay off their student loans once studies are complete. Everyone should have a chance to increase their education; however, higher tuition costs can decimate someone’s possibility of achieving the dream of graduating from an institution of higher learning. The cost of going to college needs to be lower in order to make higher education accessible to everyone, provide greater career opportunities to more people, and lessen the amount of debt students
Advances in technology have strengthened these groups' power, since they can be heard by more people. This access to mass media also makes them more appealing to the candidates. The amount of money spent through lobbying is outrageous. In the first half of 1996 lobbyists spent at least $400 million dollars to influence the federal government" ("Lobbyists"). One of the largest spenders is Phillip Morris, which has spent an estimated $11.3 million dollars in the first half"("Lobbyists").
To have a generation have an equal gap of gender with education, political, social, and economic and health aspects makes a next generation stronger as they get taught and are able to sustain their lives. Mainly MEDC’s have a better shot at having that possibility due to access of money and live reliabilities. Coming back to the statement, “Gender inequalities exist and removing them is fundamental to development”. I believe that gender inequalities do exist but can be balanced out in countries, regions, and continents by mainly increasing a countries development. It’s a reassuring index of important information for a countries development.
The development of an entire state is started with a local community. According to me, when several communities are developed then, one can opt for state level and hence an entire federal body. Firstly, I plan to raise money for the local level office. Being a responsible candidate needs to follow all the directions and rules of setting up a budget for his or her campaign. “The law of Texas requires every candidate to appoint a treasurer even if one is not going to raise any money.” I have assigned a campaign treasurer to plan, look and direct me a legal way to make and spend budget for my campaign. Since, it is a local level, serving the community is my first goal. The main part of my campaign budget solely depends on one’s personal funds and service funds generated by the activities and programs run at a local level. The main idea of mine is not getting a vote, rather capture the interest of the people through small activities that would benefit them and their community for a long
When talking about a person who is trying to run for election in our country, two terms get thrown around loosely, a politician and a statesman. However, there is a difference between the two. A Politician is a leader engaged in civil administration whose main objective is to get elected. Human affairs are not that important to him, he just wants the title. A Statesman however takes interest in human affairs and works for the common good to help people. (http://www.dictionary.com)
Running an election campaign is very strenuous and time consuming. In many ways it is a balancing act. One must deal with maintaining public visibility, appealing to the voters, developing a platform, kissing disgusting babies, and meeting as many people as possible. However, one of the most important and difficult parts of the job is raising money. Money is necessary for all parts of the campaign, and without it, a campaign can grind to a halt. In this paper I will attempt to explain how a candidate gets the money to campaign.
Throughout the ages in Western Civilization, a double standard for men and women has existed. Although in modern society women have started to level the playing field with men in terms of employment and leadership, but the gender gap in opportunities and in societal views persists. However, women can achieve true equality in society by evolving people’s actions through governmental action.
Marriage rights are always something that I have found very interesting, as most cultures differ extremely from what we see in our modern Western culture. In today’s world, women who live in a Westernized society have the same rights in their marriage as their husbands do, especially when it comes to situations such as divorce, custody, and the ownership of property. This is completely different to what a marriage looked like in Ancient Greece. One thing that’s especially interesting to me is what rights a woman has in her marriage (what rights she had in terms of property, divorce, custody of her children, etc.).
Nowadays, instead of always voting for the person who is the best at handling their prospective job, people are voting for candidates who handle themselves the best during the campaign. The candidate who is the most charismatic, funny, and outgoing is usually the person who is going to get elected. This is becoming particularly true in the case of many celebrities who have entered the field of politics. Although these people, who have gained fame in another field, are not as qualified for the job as others in the election, they find themselves capturing the majority of the vote anyway. To truly understand how people with hardly any political experience can step right into the spotlight and win an election, one must first understand what goes into a political campaign.
