African American political representation

History

mr Goodwill [35]2 years ago
4 0

Barack Obama took office as the first black president of the United States – a proud moment for many Americans. Obama’s election represented another advance in the slow but steady progress blacks have made in recent decades in gaining a greater foothold in political leadership, particularly in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the Cabinets of recent presidents. But they have procrastinated in the Senate and in governorships. While African-American politicians have held office on the local and state level since Alexander Twilight was elected to the Vermont state legislature in 1836, race discrimination and laws prohibiting African-Americans from voting limited the number of Blacks holding office until the 20th century. Since then many great African-Americans politicians have made their mark on shaping American history and public policy.

Why do some liberal think the ACA (affordable care act )did not go far enough ?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

There is a claim by some Liberals that the ACA Law does not go far enough in securing the Americans, and reducing health care costs. The law, they say, has brought a lot of good things, but if we take into account the fact that 5300 members of Congress have registered 3300 lobbyists for health care, and more spent on preparing the law itself, than for some campaigns for presidential elections. Therefore, not a small part of this law appears to have been written by foreign private insurance industry or pharmaceutical industry.

For example, many health insurers, patients were bankrupt due to the high cost of health care, under the auspices of the ACA.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Confirmation Bias

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is a phenomenon wherein decision makers have been shown to actively seek out and assign more weight to evidence that confirms their hypothesis, and ignore or underweigh evidence that could disconfirm their hypothesis. As such, it can be thought of as a form of selection bias in collecting evidence. Confirmation bias is important because it may lead people to hold strongly to false beliefs or to give more weight to information that supports their beliefs than is warranted by the evidence.
