Lisa has joined
poptarts600: something
Tiana: okay, I'm good.
Lisa: kay
got it
me: WE ARE DISCUSSING POLITICAL TRENDS.
TRENDS IN VOTING:
8:05 PM jennylamx93: the list that is in the cookbook, are they the only ones?
me: VOTER TURNOUT HAS BEEN STEADILY DROPPING SINCE THE 1960'S......WHY?
Tiana: how many questions and FRQs are the test
michaeldavidson2012: Nixon scandal
me: TIANA....20 MC, 1 FRQ
MIKE, YES.
8:06 PM WATERGATE STARTED THE STEADY DECLINE IN POLITICAL EFFICACY AND VOTER TURNOUT.
NAME ONE MAJOR GROUP WHOSE VOTER TURNOUT HAS BEEN INCREASING STEADILY OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS....
michaeldavidson2012: African Americans.
Tiana: Women
me: WOMEN IS CORRECT.
8:07 PM AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTING HAS REMAINED FAIRLY LOW WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 2008.
WOMEN NOW OUTNUMBER MEN AT THE POLLS.
boydaaron93: why?
8:08 PM tran.seph@gmail.com has joined
jennylamx93: mmh hmm
me: WELL, WE KNOW THAT VOTING IS A HABIT.
WOMEN ONLY GOT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AFTER THE 19TH AMENDMENT (1920'S).
IT TOOK AWHILE FOR WOMEN'S VOTING TO TAKE HOLD.
8:09 PM ANYBODY ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT THE "GENDER GAP" IS?
jennylamx93: how women surpass man to vote dem
michaeldavidson2012: The fact that women vote more often than men.
me: NOT QUITE.....
ANYONE ELSE?
Tiana: Gender gap, the percentage difference between men in women in voting
8:10 PM me: THE GENDER GAP IS THE DIFFERENCE IN OPINION BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN.
michaeldavidson2012: ahh,
jennylamx93: mmmh
me: THE FACT THAT WOMEN TEND TO SUPPORT MORE LIBERAL CANDIDATES.
8:11 PM THE GENDER GAP IS WIDENING.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT TREND HAS TO DO WITH THE TYPE OF ELECTION...
...............
jennylamx93: what about people that are married? did we talk about that before or its not that important?
8:12 PM tran.seph@gmail.com has left
me: EVEN THOUGH TURNOUT IS TRENDING STEADILY DOWNWARD, PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS GET A MUCH BETTER TURNOUT THAN MIDTERM OR OFF-YEAR ELECTIONS.
Tiana: People vote more in natl elections than local
me: .........
TIANA......TRUE.
JENNY...... MARRIAGE WAS AN INCORRECT ANSWER ON A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION.
MARRIAGE IS AN INSIGNIFICANT VARIABLE IN VOTING BEHAVIOR. AGE IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.
8:13 PM jennylamx93: oh.
me: EDUCATION AND AGE.....THE MORE YOU HAVE, THE MORE YOU VOTE.
bribooker93@gmail.com has joined
8:14 PM boydaaron93: do you want us to know about protest civil disobedience mobilizatioon and things of that nature?
me: NOW I WILL LIST A SUBGROUP OF THE VOTING PUBLIC. TYPE "D" FOR DEMOCRAT AND "R" FOR REPUBLICAN.
AARON...ILL GET TO THAT SOON.

8:18 PM me: OK....
WELL DONE.....
jennylamx93: just remmevered to remind about cross cutting cleavages?
me: WHAT'S NEXT?
AH! YES....
8:19 PM boydaaron93: trend besides voting
me: CROSS CUTTING CLEAVAGES OCCUR WHEN ONE GROUP IS DIVIDED AMONG MANY OTHERS.
8:20 PM Lisa: can we get an example?
me: FOR EXAMPLE: THERE ARE POOR HISPANICS, MIDDLE CLASS HISPANICS AND WEALTHY HISPANICS....
mills242: perfect examle
me: THE RACIAL CLEAVAGE CROSS CUTS THE ECONOMIC CLEAVAGE
Tiana: Wealthy Hispanics are likely to vote Republican right?
tran.seph@gmail.com has joined
8:21 PM me: TIANA....THAT IS A TOUGH CALL.
MOST LIKELY....
Lisa: why do cubans vote republican?
Tiana: Well wealthy cubans are right?
me: WEALTH IS THE FACTOR THERE....
8:22 PM jennylamx93: so it can basically apply to any race that is wealthy?
o_O
me: A REINFORCING CLEAVAGE IS ONE IN WHICH A GROUP IS HORDED WITHIN ANOTHER GROUP.
8:23 PM FOR EXAMPLE: RECENT IMMIGRANTS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS POOR.
THESE CLEAVAGES REINFORCE EACH OTHER.
8:24 PM IT CAN APPLY TO ANY TWO SUBSETS....
boydaaron93: so are you saying that the poor immigrants are horded within the immigrants as a whole?
me: FOR EXAMPLE: ELDERLY AMERICANS ARE CROSS CUT AMONG MANY RACIAL AND ECONOMIC LEVELS.
8:25 PM 18-21 YEAR OLDS AND UNMARRIED PEOPLE REINFORCE EACH OTHER.
mills242: how?
me: ....AS FEW 18-21 YEAR OLDS ARE MARRIED....
MAKES SENSE?
8:26 PM ???
boydaaron93: yea
8:27 PM me: USING SENIORS @ PALUMBO AS AN EXAMPLE:
janettectam@gmail.com has left
me: CROSS CUTTING CLEAVAGE: SENIORS AS A PART OF THE STUDENT BODY, SENIORS BY ADVISORY.
8:28 PM REINFORCING, SENIORS AS A PART OF THE STUDENT BODY, SENIORS IN ONE OF DR. BAILEY'S CLASSES.
tran.seph@gmail.com has left
me: REINFORCING CLEAVAGES DRAW PEOPLE CLOSER. CROSS CUTTING CLEAVAGES DRAW THEM APART.
8:29 PM THOUGHTS? Y'ALL GOT QUIET.....
mills242: clearer
Tiana: can we have some practice questions
apkenner@gmail.com has joined
me: THERE ARE NO CLEAVAGES ON THE EXAM.....I'LL RETEACH IN CLASS ON FRIDAY...DEAL?
8:30 PM mills242: deal
boydaaron93: deal
Lisa: deal
me: PRACTICE QUESTIONS IN TEN MINS.....
WHAT CAN WE DO NEXT?
tieraclark@gmail.com has left
8:31 PM Tiana: what's on the test? topics wise
jennylamx93: majority rule and minority rights?
mills242: polls?
boydaaron93: do you want us to know the different types of polling?
me: HEY....I JUST NOW FOUND THE SMILEY FACE BOX YOU GUYS USE :)
michaeldavidson2012: -
8:32 PM mills242: do we need to know all vocal?
michaeldavidson2012: --------------
--
me: TIANA....WHOLE COOKBOOK
JENNY...OK, COMIN UP....
TERRELL....POLLS AFTER THAT....
MAJORITY RULE / MINORITY RIGHTS.
8:33 PM mills242: if you are wealthy no matter what race you vote republican?
me: IN OUR COUNTRY WE BELIEVE IN MAJORITY RULE: IF 51%
PERCENT
OF PEOPLE AGREE, A LAW SHOULD PASS
UNLESS IT INFRINGES ON SOMEONE'S GUARANTEED RIGHTS.
8:34 PM THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL SUPERSEDE THE WANTS OF THE MANY.
SOME EVIDENCE? 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE.
8:35 PM ..............
FOR TERRELL: ELEMENTS OF GOOD POLLING:
jennylamx93: mmh okay,
me: RANDOM SAMPLE....LARGE SAMPLE....REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE.....NEUTRAL WORDING.....NEUTRAL ORDER OF QUESTIONS.....NO SELF SELECTION.
8:36 PM BAD (STRAW) POLL: SMALL SAMPLE....NON REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE.....BIASED WORDING OR ORDER....SELF SELECTION.
8:37 PM IF THESE DESCRIPTIONS ARE TRUE....WHY WOULD ANYONE USE A STRAW POLL?
mills242: change people ideas?
Tiana: to skew public opinion, for their benefit
michaeldavidson2012: to get an idea.
me: T: THATS A PUSH POLL
8:38 PM MIKE: KINDA....
STRAW POLLS ARE QUICK AND EASY.
michaeldavidson2012: Is it kinda like New Hampshire?
Tiana: T as in Tiana or Terrell
michaeldavidson2012: the primary.
It creates an idea of the turnout?
me: T AS IN TBOTH
IOWA, BUT YES MIKE.
8:39 PM michaeldavidson2012: Excuse me.
Lisa: straw polls
gives an idea of which candidate will be selected?
me: WE GOOD ON POLLS?
8:40 PM LISA....YES....BUT AN UNSCIENTIFIC, QUICK VERSION
mills242: yes yes
me: NEXT???
mills242: FRQ topic?
me: NAH
poptarts600: Does this section on Political Beliefs and Behaviors also require you to know about the differences of conservatives and liberals?
me: UNIT II....THATS ALL YOU GET.
8:41 PM NIC.....YES AND NO.
IT HELPS TO KNOW THAT LIBERALS (DEMS) FAVOR MORE TAXES AND MORE PROGRAMS AND THAT CONSERVATIVES (REPS) FAVOR FEWER TAXES AND FEWER PROGRAMS.
8:42 PM mills242: can you explain political socialization?
me: SURE.
POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION IS HOW WE AS INDIVIDUALS GET OUR POLITICAL IDEAS
1. OUR FAMILIES
2. EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS
mills242: got you
media?
me: 3. PEER GROUPS
8:43 PM 4. THE MEDIA
PRACTICE QUESTION?
mills242: yes yes
me: OK HOLD FOR PRACTICE QUESTION....DO NOT ANSWER UNTIL YOU SEE "OK...GO"

(a) College graduates are more likely to

I LIKE THAT MAAMAR SAYS NOTHING FOR 45 MINS AND THEN SWOOPS IN TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.....

mills242: well see you guys tomorrow , good luck lol
michaeldavidson2012: Make one. Doesnt necessarily have to have choices.
me: AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE.....
8:51 PM MIKE....GOOD ENOUGH...HOLD......
8:52 PM S. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE VOTING BEHAVIOR OF AFRICAN AMERICANS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE 15TH AMENDMENT?
OK.........GO
Lisa: rarely vote
michaeldavidson2012: They didnt vote.
mills242: dont vote
Tiana: still didnt vote, poll taxes and test
me: GOOD....
8:53 PM YES, LITERACY TESTS AND POLL TAXES PLAYED A ROLE.
THOUGH WE KNOW ALL NEW GROUPS VOTE IN LOW PERCENTAGES.
WHAT ARE SOME OBSTACLES TO VOTING IN AMERICA?
michaeldavidson2012: Voter fatigue
8:54 PM me: YA
mills242: low political efficacy?
michaeldavidson2012: two party system
me: YUP
michaeldavidson2012: weekday elections
me: UH HUH
Tiana: frequency of elections
me: YES
maamarbousseloub: Do immigrants who gain the right to vote, vote?
me: MAAMAR: NOPE.
8:55 PM VOTING IS A HABIT
ALSO: VOTER REGISTRATION LAWS ARE A MAJOR DETERRENT.
OTHER COUNTRIES JUST AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER EVERYONE.
........
mills242: why not we?
8:56 PM me: SOME NATIONS EVEN FINE PEOPLE WHO DON'T VOTE
mills242: dont
me: TERRELL....B/C POLITICIANS LIKE LOW VOTER TURNOUT....THEY ONLY WANT THEIR PARTY MEMBERS VOTING.
8:57 PM ....ITS MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT, BUT....
NOT ON THE EXAM.
mills242: got you
me: PLUS AMERICANS LIKE THE OPTION OF NOT VOTING.
WE LOVE OUR FREEDOM
TO DO STUPID THINGS
8:58 PM michaeldavidson2012: cough Thats mean.
