Social Justice Question (Not Standard Essay)
Recently, there was an article posted by Patrick Brennan called "Why Does the Economy Do Better Under Democratic Presidents Than Republican Ones?"on The Corner (a website that writes articles regarding studies and current events) discussing how it seems that the U.S economy works well under a democratic president more so than a republican president.
When I read this article I found it quite interesting that there was actually good evidence used to support this idea. I assumed this was going to be a very opinionated article but I was proved wrong. I can safely say that this article chose no side and was fair to both democrats and republicans. I'm a democrat and this article didn't offend me in the least bit, and looking at this from a non-political angle I can still say that this author didn't offend any party. Brennan used only evidence in his article such as the fact that consumer confidence is typically higher under a democratic president. As he says, this is because democrats tend to the middle class more and the middle class makes up most of the population as well as consumers. This makes it so that most consumers feel safer in general. This is just one of the many pieces of evidence that he used.
In conclusion, "Why Does the Economy Do Better Under Democratic Presidents Than Republican Ones?"by Patrick Brennan treats both democrats and republicans fairly with no opinion in the article whatsoever. A well written and fair article that I say should be viewed as the guidelines for all other articles that will ever be written.
