The Essential Question

1) Its amazing how much influence one person can have over so many people, trusting a man that you don't even know and giving the authority over your country. Well i believe that when someone is given that much authority that there secrets should be known so that we know who we are actually giving this amazing power to, a low dirty rat, or a worthy trusting man. The person that we elect should be a roll model to us and what is expected of him and not corrupt our country more than it already is. But then again a person with that much power could influence a whole country to believe what he or she is doing is alright even if they don't know what they are doing.

2) As the way the economy is going, down, we need to watch what we do with our money, all Americans need to be careful with putting their money into bank also. By the banks going bankrupt puts allot of stress upon us, and it also has a big impact. If people don't have any place to keep their money in a safe place, where are they going to put it.

3) As president you should be in charge of your country and not have it over ruled by someone else. When you are president you shouldn't have your vice president taking over your role, like John McCain did when he was running for president. Although he was not president yet he let Palin take over the spotlight. If he were to become president we mind as well have Palin as our president. This just shows that he if he can't be in the head of his own life then how is he supposed to be in the head of his country? Then who is America supposed to depend on for support.

4) People are easily convinced nowadays especially teenagers. So when teens see a presidential candidates, a person who is a leader and could potentially make changes in the world, and their daughter is pregnant, what are gullible teens supposed to think, that its alright to get pregnant since the potential vice presidents daughter is? What would we do with our young people.

5) When people see a person of high influence contradicting themselves it makes them question that persons beliefs, do they believe one thing or another? For Palin her daughter is pregnant yet she wants to take out sex ed. classes, maybe if her daughter was in such a class she would more aware of what she was doing. Also if the society has someone in charge of them that cant even take care of their own daughter how are they supposed to take care of our country, and how will that effect us?

6) Women can be a big influence allot of the times since they are thought of as the weaker sex, so when people, especially women, see other women becoming of a high place in our society we tend to look up to them for being brave and going up against the normal man. So as we see women come of importance in the government we will see a new revolution, of more and more women getting involved with things that men would normally do. As women become more important, we will also see the laws, regulations and time in general change as well.
