In politics there are many different viewpoints and reasons people run to the polls and vote. Politics plays such an important role in all of the citizens lives whether they believe it or not. The attitude that people have towards the person they are voting for can be classified according to the party they fall under: Republican, Democrats, or the Uninterested.

For starters, a Republicans attitude towards voting is more about being conservative. The Republican Party normally will lean more towards big business than anything else. They tend to love supporting the businessman who makes the big bucks than the smaller businessman making barely enough to get by. Next, they will vote for the republican who is raising the taxes of the American. Also, they will vote for the person who doesn’t have a liberal mindset; such as the lower class people. Being that these things are what a republican is looking for, it would normally have an effect on the attitude of a voter.

On the other hand, a Democrat's attitude towards voting is greatly towards the liberal side. While a Republican is pulling for the big businesses, the Democrats are going for the smaller businesses. They will give their support to the smaller businessman, so that he or she may become a big business. In addition, they believe in lowering the taxes for the poor and raising taxes for the rich. In that alone, it could have a big impact on the attitude of voting democrat over republican. Lastly, they believe that the more conservative you are the worst off. For instance, Republicans through a Democrat’s eyes don’t care about the lower class, but focus more on the upper class people. They believe more in change than thing remaining the same year after year. This is mainly cause for the attitude of the people voting for a democrat.

Moreover, the disinterested party has the attitude of just not caring about politics. Their attitudes portray the image of the non-voter. Some people will not go out there way to vote because they find it pointless. Also, they believe that the world will never change no matter who’s in charge. They feel that life goes on without their votes at the polls. More importantly, they have the attitude of politic being too much to follow. Politics goes deep into subject an uninterested person just don’t care about enough to pay it any attention. These reasons are why the attitude of the voter is just uninterested for the most part.

In conclusion, many people have their own reasons why they should and should not vote. Even though all the citizens of the United States may not be voters, the all play an important part in the attitudes toward politics. People can be a conservative, liberal, or neither of the two and still count for so much of the way the world is ran. Whether people believe it or not they fall into either of the three categories mentioned above: Republicans, Democrats, or the Disinterested.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
