Does Large Family Size Predict Political Centrism? by Benjamin Schmidt Introduction Suggesting that voting might be correlated with the number of children vot­ ers have has been rare but not unheard of in the last decade. In a 2004 article for American Conservative, Steve Sailer noted a correlation between states with higher birth rates among white voters and the support for incumbent Republican Presi­ dent George W. Bush. Sailer recognized that Bush won the nineteen states with the highest white fertility while Senator John Kerry won the sixteen with the lowest (2004). He also suggested that the lifestyle preferences of white, conservative par­ ents might be to blame for the apparent Republican tilt among states with higher birth rates. A similar trend occurred again in 2012 when majorities in every state with fertility rates higher than 70 per 1,000 women went to Mitt Romney, while all states with fertility rates below 60 per 1,000 women went to Barack Obama (Sandler 2012).
  • The Demise of the African American Baseball Player

    The Demise of the African American Baseball Player

    LCB_18_2_Art_4_Standen (Do Not Delete) 8/26/2014 6:33 AM THE DEMISE OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN BASEBALL PLAYER by Jeffrey Standen* Recently alarms were raised in the sports world over the revelation that baseball player agent Scott Boras and other American investors were providing large loans to young baseball players in the Dominican Republic. Although this practice does not violate any restrictions imposed by Major League Baseball or the MLB Players Association, many commentators have termed this funding practice of dubious ethical merit and at bottom exploitative. Yet it is difficult to distinguish exploitation from empowerment. Refusing to lend money to young Dominican players reduces the money invested in athletes. The rules of baseball and the requirements of amateurism preclude similar loans to American-born baseball players. Young ballplayers unlucky enough to be born in the United States cannot borrow their training expenses against their future earning potential. The same limitations apply in similar forms to athletes in other sports, yet baseball presents some unique problems. Success at the professional level in baseball involves a great deal of skill, attention to detail, and supervised training over a long period of time. Players from impoverished financial backgrounds, including predominately the African American baseball player, have been priced out of the game. American athletes in sports that, like baseball, require a significant commitment of money over time have not been able to fund their apprenticeships through self-generated lending markets. One notable example of self-generated funding is in the sport of golf. To fund their career goals, American golfers raise money through a combination of debt and equity financing.

    Cleveland State University From the SelectedWorks of David Barnhizer 2019 PSEUDO-DEMOCRACY IN A POST-RULE OF LAW ERA David Barnhizer, Cleveland State University Daniel D. Barnhizer, Michigan State University College of Law Available at: https://works.bepress.com/david_barnhizer/128/ PSEUDO-DEMOCRACY IN A POST-RULE OF LAW ERA David Barnhizer and Daniel Barnhizer We are immersed in the ongoing transformation of a system that at best can be described as a pseudo-democracy in a Post-Rule of Law era in which formerly quasi-democratic systems— including the US--are devolving into unprincipled, fragmented and authoritarian surveillance societies. The challenge is how to inhibit what is occurring and protect and preserve the best of what we have had while shaping and incorporating the changes that must be accepted. The answer to our dilemma is far from clear. In using the term pseudo-democracy we are bringing to the surface the idea that we often use the language of democracy too loosely in arguing about the political system we tend to think, or at least assert, exists in the United States. The reality of what Aristotle and the Greek political philosophers meant when using that term bears no resemblance to the system under which we operate in America, a system roughly one thousand times larger than that of Athens and far more complex, diverse and territorially vast than Aristotle could have imagined. In The Politics, Aristotle warned against radical changes to a city-state that would result from growing beyond the size and composition needed for a dynamic but self-contained community.

    Theorising Post-Truth: a Postmodern Phenomenon

    150 / JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE LITERATURE AND AESTHETICS Theorising Post-Truth: A Postmodern Phenomenon Amina Hussain In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act. —George Orwell Introduction ny discussion of post-truth implies an assumed understanding of truth. In order to analyse post-truth, one has to at first grapple, with the notion of Atruth. Does truth refer to facts and evidence? Can we access an objective truth and if there never was any ‘real’ truth and only truths, then what is this sudden fuss over post-truth and what are its implications? These questions in themselves pose a very postmodernist scepticism about the truth in general. If truth then is so precarious, then what are the theoretical groundings of the post –truth. In my paper I will critically evaluate the phenomenon of post-truth and its relationship with postmodernism, accentuated with the rise of social media. There has been an evident surge in the academic publications on post-truth with writers like, Michiku Kakutani, Lee McIntyre and Ari Rabin-Havt along with Palgrave Macmillan anthology on Post-truth and contemporary society shows the urgency of the post- truth debate. Post-truth today as it exist, is an extreme manipulation of the fertile grounds laid by postmodern theories. Both cultural critic Kakutani and McIntyre hurriedly trace Trump era post-truth politics which has had a ripple effect through out the world,with the rise of the right wingers to the postmodernism. Trump or other right wing politicians may not quote Foucault, Derrida or Lyotard but as McIntyre writes “the germ of the idea made its way to them.” The paper will analyse the “germ” in the more nuanced perspective of the major postmodernist theories and its direct or indirect bearings on the present post-truth scenario.

While most industrialized nations struggle with shrinking populations due to low birth rates, the United States can look forward to a stable tax base and a steady workforce.4 However, not everyone greeted the news with enthusiasm. Many inter- preted the increased birth rate as an indication of the country’s failed immi- gration laws and turned a hostile eye toward immigrant women.5 For example, when asked to comment about the increased fertility rate, John Vinson, president of the conservative American Immigration Control Foun- dation claimed: “The [U.S.-born] child is an automatic American citizen, * Policy and Programs Director, National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum.

Lance Bennett, Chair Matthew J. Powers Kirsten A. Foot Adrienne Russell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Communication University of Washington Abstract The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: W. Lance Bennett Department of Communication Democracy in America is threatened by an increased level of false information circulating through online media networks. Previous research has found that radical right media such as Fox News and Breitbart are the principal incubators and distributors of online disinformation. In this dissertation, I draw attention to their political mobilizing logic and propose a new theoretical framework to analyze major radical right media in the U.S. Contrasted with the old partisan media literature that regarded radical right media as partisan news organizations, I argue that media outlets such as Fox News and Breitbart are better understood as hybrid network organizations. This means that many radical right media can function as partisan journalism producers, disinformation distributors, and in many cases political organizations at the same time. They not only provide partisan news reporting but also engage in a variety of political activities such as spreading disinformation, conducting opposition research, contacting voters, and campaigning and fundraising for politicians. In addition, many radical right media are also capable of forming emerging political organization networks that can mobilize resources, coordinate actions, and pursue tangible political goals at strategic moments in response to the changing political environment.

The media observed that states with high fertility rates tended to support Bush, and states with low fertility rates tended to support Gore and Kerry. This phenomenon came to be known as the “Fertility Gap.” After political pundits started discussing the Fertility Gap, a few scholars also picked up on the topic. To date, discussion of the Fertility Gap has been limited to elections between 2000 to 2012. A longitudinal study of the Fertility Gap has never been conducted.
