Voter poll analysis


    
    The two sections I decided to analyze were gender equality and issues of racism. I have noticed that many of the people that support gender equality also support racial equality, so I though it would be interesting to look at from actual data. From looking just at the general data and not at any specific answers it looks like most people that took the survey support BLM and gender equality and realize that there are still many issues regarding this today. When I looked further into it and saw all the specific responses I saw that I had guessed correctly. For the most part, the people that said there was no gender inequality in the workplace voted that there was little to no issues with white supremacy. As well as most of the people that voted that they support BLM also voted that they think that the continued rise of women's influence in popular culture, government, and business is a positive thing and that women shouldn't have a "pink tax". Another thing that I had expected was that most of the people that voted that president Trump's response to current protests has been helpful towards bringing equality toward people of color also voted ALM for their stance on the current BLM movement. There were also people that had surprising answers, they had voted that they knew there is inequality in the work place and that the rise of women's influence in popular culture, government, and business is a positive thing, but then they voted that women should have to pay a "pink tax". Another response that surprised me was that multiple people voted I don't support BLM, but then voted that White Supremacy is no longer an issue. I wasn't expecting this because I think that if someone thinks white supremacy is not an issue anymore would also support BLM. 

    I think that we could've made this survey more accurate if we had more time to distribute the survey. I also think that we should try to get the survey to more people who we don't know, so that we can get a more accurate result. I also think that some people, including me, didn't make it clear enough that it was just for voters, so maybe putting it on out instagram story where many people that can't vote yet was not a great idea. I do think that the reason it wasn't as accurate was because we couldn't walk around and ask random people. Other than that I think that making the survey went really well and I liked how we came up with questions and then improved them as a group so that they were the best they could be.

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...
