On January 21, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations had equal rights as individual citizens with regard to campaign contributions during political elections.

1. The single most important idea I learned in Part Six was the role of understanding people and what they want in the art of persuasion. From the descriptions of persuasive approaches of Napoleon, Vince Lombardi, and Lyndon Johnson it became clear that persuasion is not figuring out what you want and convincing others to do it. Instead, it is figuring out how to align your goals with the goals of others so both sets of goals can be achieved simultaneously. For example, when Napoleon needed his soldiers to fight, he made sure the reward would be what they ...

Overall, it seems that the high rate of re-election for Congressional incumbents is a good thing. Over 90% of incumbents running for re-election are re-elected (347). Obviously there are many advantages to running as an incumbent. Several of these advantages stem from their name recognition and experience as a politician. Often, incumbents win re-election ...
