Voting Survey Analysis

For my survey analysis, I will be focusing mainly on the Issues of Racism section. I feel like since it was my group’s given topic I have more understanding in order to analyze it better. The first question is: Do you think President Trump’s response to current protests has been more helpful towards bringing equality to people of color? On a quick first glance, the question was avoided by one person because there were only 124 responses while the other two had 125. Investigating further, the option “Strongly disagree” took up about 65% of the poll while neutral and disagree took up the other part. And there was a tiny red part that signified the “agree” option. This is interesting because as we discussed previously in class that a majority of the survey takers had an affiliation with the Democratic party, as opposed to the Republican party. This is especially interesting because that would mean a lot of Republicans disagree with former President Trump’s approach to the protests. Moving on to the second question: What is your stance on the current Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement? The results for this question were divided into 42% Supporting BLM and the other part would be equal: 30% Not actively supporting BLM and 18% ALM support (The republican resistance against BLM) Similar to the other question it seems that some conservatives are now in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. As for the last question: Is white supremacy a big issue in this country? The answers were all somewhat equal in agreeing and disagreeing. White supremacy has not been much of a controversial topic nowadays with both right and left-wing supporters condemning it. Overall I think this survey was a success. In total, we got 128 responses and even though not all the people completed every question I think that the feedback was accurate. Personally, when I shared the survey to my Instagram story I got more than 1,300 views total over a course of 24 hours. So I’m sure a lot of people were reached over the course of this assignment and we got the necessary information. This was definitely a productive assignment and we all learned something from it.

Civil Rights Issues in Syria - Alex Gross

  Alex Gross Mr. Roddy IHSS 6 April 2021 Civil Rights in Syria Syria, the densely populated country in the Middle East which is home to over 17 million people is plagued with a plethora of different Civil Rights issues and violations. The issues in Syria range from unlawful killings and assassinations, to excessive deployment of government forces. There have also been hundreds of articles in the past few years surrounding the Syrian refugee issues, which says a lot about the status of corruption in the country. An article from the Atlantic Council that was published yesterday (April 5th, 2021) goes into detail about another aspect of the difficulties of life in Syria; the economic struggle. The citizens of Syria are forced by the government to pay ridiculous amounts of money to exit and enter the country, renew passports, and quarantine due to covid. In-turn, this causes the citizens to be less likely to leave the country, despite its many issues. This problem is exacerbated by ...

Arkansas' Anti-trans bill

  Isa Pedersen  Mr. Roddy  IHSS 9 April 2021 Arkansas’ Anti-trans bill  For centuries the trans community was discriminated against. But recently Arkansas passed a bill that highly affects trans rights and healthcare. The bill states that trans individuals are not allowed to get gender affirming surgeries. This included hormones such as testosterone and androgen, as well as puberty blockers. This is said to be one of the most detrimental bills passed against the trans community in ages. Not only this but some states have already passed bills that don't allow trans kids to take part in sports or competitions. These states include Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Tennessee and Alabama are already starting to get the same bill passed. Texas is on the list that is assumed to follow Arkansas and pass the bill as well. Certain cities were able to make bills that heavily discriminate against the trans community, but states have never passed bills this big before. The...

The Pandemic has Been Bad for Civil Rights - Andy

Andy Walsh Mr. Roddy IHSS 6 April 2021 The Pandemic has Been Bad for Civil Rights  The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a lot of challenges to today’s society. However, in Latin America it is an even bigger issue. Across all of Latin America, the health crisis has been accompanied by civic disruptions causing the lack of communication and justice in civic spaces. Widespread quarantines and lockdowns have put a lot of stress on the civic system of all countries. However, countries with high poverty and large homeless populations have had trouble enforcing rules related to COVID. The lack of enforcement and communication have caused many issues in these countries. “ The measures taken in response to the pandemic have restricted civic spaces at local, national, regional and even international levels. The situation is alarming to the international community in general, and to the international rights community in particular.” (Andrés Serbin ). COVID has brought the need for governments...
