With so much going on right now, this next election is going to be extremely crucial.
For you, what is the most important issue that needs change? (The War in Iraq, the economy, abortion, civil rights, medical care, restoring our respect from the rest of the world, etc)? Discuss.

Here's a close to home example to drive this... home. Let's say we have a racist on our hands and we ask him "Do you hate Blacks, Asians, Hispanics? Or do you hate that one Black kid over there?" What do you think his answer is going to be? "I hate that one Black kid because he's Black, but I don't hate other Blacks"? No, his answer isn't going to individualize you, it's going to generalize you.
Also, haven't you heard the phrase "Those damn Americans"? They're not hating you or me individually, they hate Americans in general! When researchers and statisticians run polls, they don't put your name on the ballot, they put "American" on it, and if you're American... well, you gotta deal with that. There's a bigger picture here. It sucks, but it's true. |
