The Confederate State of Mind: This paper examines the political culture of the American South. After looking at the theoretical basis of the culture with the three themes of racism, religion and rebellion, empirical and anecdotal evidence is shown through the historical flow of political change. The one-party Democratic system, the realignment of the 20th century and the rogue presidential campaigns of Strom Thurmond and George Wallace are also dissected and scrutinized from a cultural standpoint.

The Politics of Deception: When Governor Bill Clinton campaigned for the presidency in 1992, health care reform was at the top of his domestic agenda and the country was demanding health care reform. Between the presidential election of 1992 and the congressional election of 1994, the public turned against the idea. This was seen in the news coverage of the issue and the change of the main issues. The concentration went from the problem of the uninsured and the cost of coverage to the potentially high taxes and government control over hospitals and doctors. The special interest involvement in altering public opinion is the subject of this paper.

 

Population Control in China: An analytical look at the problems of policy versus tradition in China’s implementation of a population control policy.  Worldwide reactions are included, in addition to a comparative look at the United States, Japan and India.
