seems the most difficult part is cramming stats into the head to remember.. ah well, glad I got 5 As last year and this doesn't matter

Well this is just pointless and self-appreciating

Can someone help me if an essay came up like this one?

how ethnic minorities influenced the 2012 election outcome results?

thanks

Intro: by 2050, 60% ethnic minority, play large role in elections, democrats - young, republicans - old. In so far as the House of Representatives is concerned, the thread is towed more minority representation.

Para1: blacks
-typically democrat voters, string historical reasons for loyalty of African Americans to vote democrat.
- in the modern era of focus groups, target seats, key states & swing voters republicans believe the black vote isn't worth wooing.
-blacks 68% registered 08, 59% 2010.
- unity 04 campaign meant blacks would turn up to vote.
'Yes we can' built belief that there would be a black president.
- emergence of social media ensured that they knew where to vote.
-HOWEVER, Stereotypes of black gangsta youth turning up is key.
- no interest in politics, don't vote.
-Blacks make up 12% population, 2% elected representatives.

Para 2 : Hispanics.
- more fluid situation, second language in many us states.
-important role in sunbelt states.
- e.g - John Kerry 04 won the majority of Hispanics vote but when it came to states were Hispanics were key to success(Florida, New Mexico, Nevada) Bush won.
-Obama aired a Spanish tv channel, advertising.
- Romney tough on immigration, states like Arizona didn't want him they wanted anti immigration more Latinos mobilise politically to vote.

Asians: personify American dream.
-71% Asian population voted democrat.
-3% overall population they make up.
- 3.2 million Obama, 900k Romney.

Conclusion: clear to see they influence the election outcome.
That help?

Currently going over EMs political progress. I've got that they've gained representation at federal, state, and local levels, turnout and registration, but I'm unsure what to put as my third point? That they were seen to be crucial in Obama's re-election?

Are political attitudes and voting behavior the same sort of thing (as far as essays are concerned)?

For china it's most likely going to be social and economic reforms/inequalities! Because human rights came up last year :smile:

Well, my teacher is predicting NGOs or perhaps UNOs.
There was a trade vs aid Q last year, so I doubt it will come up this year.
I keep suffering from waves of anxiety - I desperately need/want an A!

I am doing plans for (in order of priority):

A1: MSPs influence
Impact of Devolution
LA conflict with SP

A4: AMS vs FPTP
STV vs FPTP
PR vs FPTP
Social class on VB

China: Effects of economic and social reform
Little opposition against CPC
Human Rights and democracy

B:
Impact of income/ lifestyles on health
Govt Policies to reduce poverty/ social ineq.
Welfare state founding principles
Existence of inequ.
Govt policies to reduce gender and BME ineq

Is this safe? Have I missed out anything major?
