Ukraines Invasion
Some believe that Putins decision to invade Ukraine is a tremendous diplomatic strategy and will likely increase his global influence. Others are skeptical, as it appears that he has no good way out of this situation, and as a result, this situation scares them.
Research Background.
Public Opinion and Journalism
The media has been buzzing with the love that Putins actions are garnering from the Russian people. They see it; he is doing everything to make Russia great again. There is a clear message to those who dispute that: you have the right to your opinion, but Russia does not have to listen to you. Putin knows that his mission was to bring stability and prosperity back to Russia, and since he took office, one of his successes has been keeping food prices low and unemployment near zero. His approval ratings are astronomically high at the moment. So much so, there is a sense of frustration among many that he does what he does because he knows he has the countrys support. His actions speak for themselves.
Putins popularity in Russia is exponentially higher than Obamas in the USA, Camerons in the UK, and Merkels in Germany and many other world leaders. Putin also knows that his mission is to restore Russia to its former glory as of the USSR and, eventually, world stature as an empire. And that isnt going to happen without military force, i.e., war. Putin may not know that he is driven by a need to go to war as one of his top priorities. Keep in mind that he has at his disposal bombastic nationalism, fueled by decades of lying propaganda and opposition media being used in third world stories and morphed into reality (heres an article showing how it happens). Therefore, the Russians are primed for war far better than even Germany during WWII. The average Russian person wants nothing more than for Putin to invade Ukraine, the USA, or the UK so their country can be great again. It doesnt take much to provoke Putin if he thinks his honor is at stake. And in his mind, it is. And this led to the Invasion of Ukraine.
The New York Times and its audience.
The New York Times article Putin Has No Good Way Out, and What Scares Me has a pro-American tone. President Putins open support of Russian rebels fighting against Ukraine makes him a military aggressor (Not to mention his invasion of Crimea). It also makes Putin an existential threat to the stability ofthe U.S.-lead NATO alliance. The authorTHOMAS L. FRIEDMAN portrays this situation as hopeless, with no good choices on behalf of anyone involved. In addition, I suppose that the most significant issue here is that the times are being used as a boogeyman by people who wish to eitherreduce or eliminate democracy. Do they think that ifthe Times were to go away, there would be no need for human rights protections and democracy around the world or otherwise? Everything could be acceptable for all concerned because there would be no need for any oversight from outside sources.
The New York Times has always been a place for truth, for facts. Many people dont like the...
…power since and is ruled by fear. I understood that Putin is fearful as he sees himself surrounded by enemies in Ukraine or Syria and at home. The other I noted from the public is that they dont agree that Putin takes part in a regime change strategy as some have suggested, but agrees with Friedman that speculation of doing so is plausible.Methodology
Methods used for data collection came from the comments on the Twitter page and the articles Putin Has No Good Way Out, and What Scares Me and I See Three Scenarios for How This War Ends by Thomas L. Friedman. Measurements were based on the truth the data had as they were presented.
Expected contribution
Having a research question helps ensure you have been given enough time to read and think about each article by Thomas L. Friedman and has helped guide my reading of the literature. I have also found that answering questions help me write up long essays. By answering research questions, you can take what you learn from both sources and experiences and transform them into a cohesive argument for your argumentative essay, as Thomas L. Friedman did.
Expected challenges
You have to make sure that your sources are trustworthy and authoritative. You need to check all of the information carefully to be accurate and up-to-date from the Twitter pages, and they are true. You need to avoid using other peoples original work, words, or ideas without acknowledging them. In getting information from Twitter pages, sometimes a piece of information may be left out that is very important due to bias. It is common and can lead to the omission…

Also, Bardes explains on page 194, "friends at school, teachers" and those whose opinions we hold "in high regard" influence us. Does advertising influence public opinion? Why? Media advertising is very effective because today's technology can help his or her present the best case; to wit, a candidate can reach exactly the demographics he or she wants through "microtargeting," Bardes explains. Microtargeting allows the advertiser (or candidate) to "obtain an
But, many citizens respond more favorably to "civilian-style uniforms" and in line with that, Bailey asserts that civilian attitudes towards police (ATP) are the "most positive" when in the presence of "non-authoritarian police officers" (682). Whether a police chief in a medium size city could undertake a transformation from a military-style police uniform -- the style used almost universally in the U.S. And elsewhere -- to a more civilian-formatted
Like Bowman, Silver quotes poll results to indicate the public opinion. What is particularly interesting here is that he has quoted the fourth credible poll in eight months to indicate the same majority result, specifically with 51% in favor of and 47% against the prospect of legally recognized marriage for same sex partners. What is interesting about this is that the statistics remain somewhat divisive, with a more or
Iran is important to the U.S. because the nation's leadership has proven to be unpredictable in their actions, which makes containing any nuclear ambitions a pressing national security objective. 2.) Why U.S. public opinion is important to foreign policy? In a democratically operated nation like the U.S., all government policy is necessarily informed by the collective will of its citizenry, and foreign policy decisions must be made to reflect the prevailing
Understanding the essential importance of rights, the republican decision would not want to deprive either group of their naturally endowed rights, and would, therefore, consider the opinion of both when making the decision. In this scenario, the president must look at the results of both polls and the circumstances that would make them unreliable, considering all of these things carefully before making a decision. Further, as a trustee, the
