Voting Survey Blog
Some of the ways that we could have made the survey better were by making sure the people who were filling out the survey were at or above voting age and making sure that all of the information was on every survey. Even though there were very few people that were under the voting age, it did affect some of the questions if not a lot of people answered. There was a problem with some of the questions not being on the survey this affected the results for those questions since you can really tell that a significant amount of people did not answer. I think that everything else worked well. I think that we did our best that we could to get the survey out to our community.

I decided to compare the questions related to the Issues on Racism, the generic question on what party do you affiliate with, and the generic question on what race do you affiliate with. I decided to compare these three questions because politicals parties tend to believe one thing, meaning that their supporters tend to believe the same thing. Race affiliation is a big part of where people stand. The majority of Latino/Hispanic people affiliate themselves with the democratic party. The majority of the Latino/ Hispanic disagree or strongly disagree that President Trump’s efforts have helped the current protests. They mostly believe that white supremacy is still an issue today and no one said that it wasn’t. The majority of Latinos/Hispanics support BLM even though some put that it doesn’t apply to them and some support All Lives Matter and some don’t support it at all.

The majority of White/ Caucasian in the survey are Democrats and a close second is Republican. The majority believe that Trump has not had the best response to the protests. This impresses me because some Republicans believe this even though trump is their party elected candidate. They are very divided on their stances on whether they support Black Lives Matter. It surprises me that they are so divided and in a way, I am thankful to see the divide since it shows that some are willing to change the way the US runs. They are also almost equally divided with their stance on whether or not white supremacy is still an issue today. I’m not really that surprised since white supremacy is directed to benefit white people it is nice to know that there are people that see it as a problem and this it needs change.

I decided to combine Asians, African Americans/Black, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, and Mixed since there are not a lot of them. They are mostly democrats, they also have a few Liberals and Republicans. They mostly disagree with the way that President Trump acted to the protest while some agree with his action or feel neutral about them. Most of them either fully support BLM or support it but don’t do activism. There is a small amount that supports ALm and very few that are completely against them. Most of them think that white supremacy is still an issue in the US. Their responses don’t really surprise me.

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...
