No the good of Westward Expansion cannot be said to outweigh its bad.

<h3>What was the westward expansion?</h3>

In the 19th century, the westward expansion was the term used to describe the movement of settlers, farmers and other persons down west of America. These areas were already occupied by the original owners. They were pushed out of their lands and it was taken over by the settlers.

This is the major reason why the expansion can be said to be bad. The fact that they took over areas that belonged to others forcefully.

The settlers took the places where the natives lived and farmed. Thy did this and set up their own ranches and economy in the areas that others once owned. Then the homestead act also gave them the rights to own the properties. All of these are the reasons why i do not consider this expansion as good. I see it as unfair and cruel.

Contrast the level of importance of a candidate’s party affiliation today and 50 years ago. What has changed?

sashaice [31]

Contrary to the situation 50 years ago, a candidate's party affiliation has become less important in comparison to their attention to the public and governmental views and ideals.

The elections which took place 50 years ago were often greatly influenced by party identification, regardless of the candidates being presented. Party identification is the concept of loyalty to a political party despite the candidate representing it. Voters would agree with the overall views of the party and vote accordingly, without taking into account the individual views of the candidate, which made decision-making for voting easier.

This is in contrast to today, where political candidates no longer need to fully depend on the political party to which they are affiliated. This is due to the increase in marketing, propaganda, and overall communication technology in the past 50 years.

The advances we have today make it possible for candidates to transmit their views and ideas to the public and allow voters to make decisions based on the beliefs of individual candidates as opposed to voting for a party and hoping the candidate performs according to those views.
