Voter Survey Analysis - Mateo Sanchez


 Voter Survey Analysis

For this analysis, I will be observing the effects of education level on the willingness to accept a government-mandated vaccine. And for the purpose of simplifying this analysis, I am going to merge agree with strongly agree and go through the same process with disagrees. Fist to provide context fifty-six percent of people were in favor of a government-mandated vaccine while thirty percent of people were against it and thirteen percent were either neutral or had no opinion. Interestingly enough it was very even but I do want to clarify that because of the lack of data and my lack of knowledge on how to value degrees this is a little scuffed. My method for identifying education was to essentially a group everyone that hadn't gone to college and give them a score of 1 then give everyone attending college a two then graduates with Associates and Bachelors a three then Masters got a four and Phds received a three. Then categorized the scores into agrees disagrees and neutrals and averaged them. My results were the following: the average score for disagreeing is 3.02, neutral was 2.82 and it was the same for agreeing. There are a number of conclusions that we can draw from this we could try to stipulate that people with more education value their privacy more or maybe that they aren't as worried about the virus. It could really mean a number of things but the difference in and of itself is pretty negligible anyways especially seeing that the margin of error has to be huge on my analysis not to mention the actual survey, it was a small sample size and not properly monitored for trolling. 

My opinion on it all is simple, if you get the vaccine then you get to leave your house. What I found surprising was when we discussed this in class I realized that many people had an intense distrust in this administration which surprised me because it seemed a little ridiculous but there are definitely a lot of people that think like that for very understandable reasons, in addition to them there are anti-vaxxers and then libertarians which are all about individual risk and not forcing anything on anyone which honestly I can respect. Also, the question was not especially well written and sounded like you would have to vaccinate everyone no matter what which is not at all what I meant when I wrote 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...
