<span>Awareness can begin for many different forms but empathy cannot exist first without it. In this case of the students, they came across an article that before it existed to them its message was unknown in their world. After reading the passage the value of voting clearly came from a level of empathy based on the obstacles the writer had over come. These students clearly had an open mind to begin. The thoughts in their mind may have been something in the realm of " This person nearly died for the right for something I can do at ease", " I would be irresponsible to not take advantage of my rights" and so on. We all live off of the backs of those in the past rather positive or negatively and those with an open mind more than likely will rise to the occasion.</span>
However, they also point out that it's OK to have an unusual kind of family structure. On One Tree Hill, for example, Lucas is being raised by a single mom, and he has a close relationship with his uncle, but his dad isn't completely out of the picture. On a teen show such as iCarly, on Nick, Carly's older brother plays the role of guardian, because her dad is in the Air Force. Her mom is never really spoken of.
<span>2. I do feel that most of the portrayal of family is accurate, on TV. Modern shows have steered away from the conventional "Mom, Dad, 2.5 kids plus dog" formula, which is accurate, because not all TV watchers are fortunate enough to have that kind of situation. See above answer for specific examples. </span>
<span>3. I think that a definite negative theme in today's modern shows, revolve around views on alcohol and drugs. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own views, but more often than not, after a character drinks, or does something they shouldn't, they panic about what their parents will do once they find out. This panic may lead them to increasingly dangerous situations. For example, in OTH, Nathan is drinking, and then goes out to drive his girlfriend's car. When he crashes it into another car, he realizes the trouble he is in, and leaves the scene of the accident; thus potentially getting him in even more trouble. I realize that TV is in no way an accurate depiction of all life aspects, and it is "only TV", but I think Nathan should have faced the consequences right away, because by running from the scene, he only put himself in danger of being caught, or arrested. Again, though, I'm reading too much into it. </span>
Answer: a. Democratic Party
Explanation:
The Democratic Party, as well as the Republican Party, is one of the major modern political parties in the US. The Democratic Party is the oldest active political party in the world, as it was established in 1828 Andrew Jackson´s supporters.
Following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Southern states became mostly Republican supporters in presidential elections, while the Northeastern states became more reliably Democratic.
However, the border region that includes El Paso, McAllen, and Brownsville, has remained a Democratic Party bastion.
