Class Assignment due April 10
The list of databases described in class March 30 has been extremely helpful, and I will utilized livingroomcandidates.com to portray how commercials and the media were detrimental in changing presidential elections. 2 questions that could improve the assignment is a difficult task. I really though the presentation was explained very clearly, and expectations were planned very well. I thought it was so helpful that the presentation was done with plenty of time to spare so while starting it the presenters would walk around to assist with any questions. But if I am to suggest critical/helpful feedback I would start with maybe adding more history databases. Of course as a history major thats what i would emphasize, but more variety of databases is one. Second, addressing and assisting with a more in depth explanation on how to take screenshots, especially for mac users. For some reason, screen shots for macs is more difficult than pc's.
Below is my assignment which is linked on the main google doc page:
1. The database I decided to choose was one that was provided in the class presentation, the living room candidate. The main purpose of this database is to provide a complete presidential election commercial archive.
2. Compare and contrast three different election campaigns, address the social issues of the year, analyze strategies used to win, and use the data of the election results to support your argument on effectiveness of strategies used. The age group would focused on high school students. This is the right age group due to challenging this mental stage of development to engage in abstract thinking politically, and socially.
3. The specific steps taken to answer my following question by using the database livingroomcandidates.com is to first explore and search around the website. Next, the student must pick three election years and begin researching the videos through the archive. In this process, the student must research the social/political issues of this time and analyze how the commercial addresses the issues. Last, the students must collect election result data from the website to support their argument on what strategies were used in the commercials, and why they were effective.
Dwight Eisenhower run for election was a hard fought battle, and by no means a ‘gimmie’. Harry S. Truman’s(also in the republican party) popularity, like all presidents before him, was dwindling down fast. Eisenhower’s strategy for beating Stevenson for president would be to disassociate himself from Truman. At this time the Korean War was largely unpopular and unsuccessful, and Senator Joe McCarthy’s ‘red scare’ campaign had the country terrified of communist of any kind. The final straw in pushing Eisenhower to victory though was his Military War hero background. It was Dwight D. Eisenhower who played the key role in planning the allied victory in World War II. A poll in March 29, 1952 found Eisenhower the most admired living American, and in November he won the presidency
Lyndon B. Johnson did have some advantages going into the presidential race of 1964, continuing the legacy of John F. Kennedy. His image of a tough legislator was enhanced after winning a hard-fought battle passing in congress the landmark civil rights Act of 1964, guaranteeing African-Americans access to all public facilities, and banned discrimination by race, religion, or sex. The Vietnam War was worsening, but had not become a crucial factor in the race yet. This was a landslide victory for Johnson partly due to Barry Goldwater’s extrememe right wing views which was not realistic or relating to the social/political movement happening in America. The Republican Arizona senator Barry Goldwater was the author of a best-selling book The Conscience of a Conservative was not enough to win him the election. Goldwater was infamously quoted “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” Goldwater advocated the use of nuclear weapons in Vietnam and argued that social security be made voluntary.
In 1984, the economy was improving and oil prices were low. Even though, interest rates were high, and the lurking problem of the mounting federal deficit caused little public concern. Reagan was very popular and was gaining the nickname “the teflon president” due to his ability to escape unscathed from setbacks. In Oct. 1983, 241 marines were killed in a terroirst attack in Beirut. The disaster was eclipsed days later by a marine invasion of Grenada, ordered to save a small group of medical students from the island’s new leftist gov. Public confidence in the military was restored. Mondale had an impossible task, to get Reagan off of his presidency throne. Mondale made two bold choices in his campaign, both of which backfired. First he selected a woman as his running mate. A choice a head of his time but which was one American was not ready to deal with. The media scrutinized her husbands finances, which put her on the defensive. Second, mondale announced in his acceptance speech that he would raise taxes to fight the deficit. Whenever the word taxes is used by a democrat, it is like committing political suicide and ruins campaigns. Ironically he could have pointed out that Reagan had quietly signed a bill raising taxes by 50 billion. Reagan proceeded to win the most lobsided victory since 1936.
