Politics and Diversity
This is a special blog concerning politics and diversity. First, what do we mean by politics? The definition of politics is the activity and methods of a political party. What are these activities that we are talking about? We are talking about people who represent our state, city, or government. We are talking about people that represent a specific group or cause that has a reflection on human behavior. Second, these are members of government that are supposed to assist the people and for the people of America or a specified country or nation. The people represent us as mayors of city council, senators, members of the House of Representatives, as well as other members of a diverse group that represent American Politics or Worldwide Global Communities.
Next, when it comes to American Politics, it is made up of 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 U.S, Senators. Today, the Republicans are the dominant party right now. However, I want to inform all of you that the 2018 Midterm Elections are November 6, 2018. Americans will be voting for members of the House of Representatives and half of the US Senators.
Further, what is the definition of the word diversity? The definition of this word means a difference or a variety. It is also a set of unlike characteristics having various forms or qualities. The diversity here pertains to how many men and women who make up of the Political System in the United States. Moreover, diversity is unique because it has an impact on its members. An example of this are the issues that are being addressed that concerns the Citizens of the United States. The rules and regulations that are enacted in Congress have a bearing on human behavior. Politics and Diversity are intertwined. I say this because actions that are politically driven are decided legislatively through a process called Majority Rule.
In Addition, a majority rule process when it pertains to bipartisanship does not work. When there is a majority rule, it is not very easy to establish bipartisanship. The bipartisanship is an agreement along party lines, but it has a yes or no to it. Whereas a consensus is when all of the parties involved agree to resolve an issue together and everyone is completely satisfied at the end of their discussions. When it pertains to majority rule in the political arena itself, this is a one complete party dominance. This one party dominance usually last for a specified period of time. This is true because there are elections after specific terms for each of our members of government.
Diversity in politics is very important. I want to inform everyone that there are a group of people that represents race and culture as it pertains to politics. For instance, there are more men in politics than women. However, there is a majority and a minority culture when it comes to politics. There are at least 10% African Americans in Congress and 80% Whites in Politics and another 10% Hispanics and Asians who are involved in US Politics.
