"Editor's note" United States presidential election are tallied. United States election is learn United States society and a key to the Americans. @ Dr Wu decided on February 29, "for a month to write ten on the United States introduces a general election". Upon authorization, surging News (www.thepaper.CN) will be reproduced. This is the light of his # culture # # United States # Nineth: why you want to talk about politics, the general election (March 12, author)
A lot of people ask me, why are you a scientist talking about politics. This is a reasonable question, since the late Qing dynasty in the teahouse is labeled "don't talk about national affairs," Note to the northern Beijing Zhang Dashuai rule more amazing, even the reporter can kill. So it seems to many of us, politics is something politicians, less about politics, self-preservation. But in the United States, each of the men to go to the polls to talk about politics, you don't talk about political will, "horse riding", so I slowly developed a habit of talking politics. I'm not only talking about politics, recently helped a Chinese campaign members in California. United States election is not only the candidates ' thing is something every going to voters, so everyone was more or less on politics. This lecture, we're about to talk about political issues.
Why you want to talk about politics? Because this itself is citizens of responsibility, even Marx are admitted, United States is a has particularity of national, it no obviously of class, rich no too put himself Dang back thing, poor also no absolute inferior, so each personal himself of political demands are must public told out, others only buy account, while, each personal also has right thick with skin to requirements himself of political demands. If you do not do so, serves no one notice you, humiliate you, eat up your rights. Since you want to talk about politics, then how to talk politics about, not an expert is qualified to tell national policies?
What to tell Publisher, although everyone talks about politics and nothing can not talk about restrictions, but of course most of the time we are not talking about what matters, the situation in the world, but the things around us and values. For example, a State University should recruit students by any standard, this is about political topics. In some ethnic minority and left-wing opinion, should take care of African-Americans and Latinos to look fair, almost all of the State universities have to do it under pressure from the left-wing. But, actually who are know, too care not meet qualification of a family ethnic of students, on school and students itself are no benefits, more alone on other family ethnic is not fair, so this political everyone will on a on, told a told, each a a voters will on this finger, certainly, to formed Heli, will constitute some interests group, while, to get more big circle in of people of support, will and side all people as to on political.
For example, attitudes towards receiving refugees and illegal immigrants, the politics, we have to have a heart-to-heart talk, as it relates to their own interests. As for those world events, TPP, applying for Olympic Games, Yuan included in the SDR, geo-politics, most people are not interested in. Put it in the extreme, Americans have a home on the road at the entrance pit, near their homes will build mobile phone base stations these trivial matters than more attention to world events. TPP is a hot topic in China last year, many TV shows dedicated to, expert discussions, in the United States, most people do not know that TPP, rarely mentioned on TV.
Next is how to talk politics, of course, not invective or Hu Kan sea day open space like a Beijing taxi driver, it was no use. Means to talk about politics a lot, there are usually several: Rock n roll Chameleon end of the era of David
1, positive impact on the people around, and use a variety of ways.
2, directly to the members and municipal Senators wrote many green card to be very long in the past, some people find a reason for writing to local councillors, as long as the members have had time to, more or less, can help here. Later, too many people write the members to deal with relatively limited, this approach is unlikely to work. One of my friends simply wrote to Bush's wife, Laura Bush, was soon settled. In short, there is political expression is obtained, failing to show politicians do not.
3, to convene an Assembly and Senate members, the city, politicians are general considerations to rally large numbers of voters participate, unless time does not open, generally do not split all face, will participate in for a while, listening to views.
4, rent a version in the newspaper articles, advertising. Such as the 1996 NBC anchor Zhong Yuhua (Connie Chung) slander Chinese athletes use drugs while in broadcasting the Olympic Games, Chinese at the time was clubbed together to rent the Washington Post and the layout of the New York Times article protest, the final outcome is to get NBC to apologize, Zhong Yuhua, also resigned. Of course, you can also spend money to advertise on radio and television. For example, in the discussion on the issue of gay, both to the same radio show, sometimes two ads together.
5, published in various online media opinions, as long as not "politically incorrect", others say, politically correct, we'll talk again tomorrow.
6, simply donate money, votes, supported the opposition.
Of course, politics is also involved in some international events, such as rallies or anti-war rally condemning terrorist acts, loudly discussing foreign policy.
At this point, some readers may think that it's okay, don't politicians and pundits than you know to keep you blind fighting here every day? In fact, many experts sometimes don't have common sense and logic, viewpoint neutral and people look at the problem more accurately. Everyone not watching TV those experts predicted that almost half are wrong, not that they did not level, but a variety of factors, attitude, not an expert study to come, not to mention most of the experts are not neutral and objective. As for the politicians, not objective. Precisely because of this reason, people will think it is political with us, each of us is qualified to talk about politics, and not to listen to authority or the relevant Department answering reporters ' questions. From voters especially taxpayers of angle see, with a sentence foul language told, they on political of qualification not only from "politicians not than I know of more how many", more from "I fuck na has tax, this national political I natural has say, you corporate personnel spent of is I earned to of money, or I donated of money, certainly has obligations guarantee this national of world status, and I of interests". Was so unreasonable logic.
I've talked with many Japanese they have some right-wing members from visiting the Yasukuni Shrine and Diaoyu friction problems. The explanation they give is, in fact, that is to support a member of voters behind inspired, and that was a member of means to obtain votes. Therefore, I never thought that Japan waged World War II what is the "handful of militarists" behaviour, in fact in the whole Japan national political results. Similarly, the United States launched the second Iraq war, nor Bush, and several people with oil companies whim, the fact that the oil companies did not make money, but United States citizens on political outcomes.
Before and after the election or mid-term elections, everyone is talking about politics. Of course, politics also has some untouchable topic, which involved United States politics in "politically correct" issue, we'll talk again tomorrow.
