According to the Washington Post, "Overall, turnout in the midterm elections was projected at 42 percent of registered voters, about 1.2 percentage points higher than in 2006." (It should be noted that even though there was a slightly larger turnout than in 2006, about 58% of voters stayed home.) Also, according to most polls, the makeup of the electorate this time was different: there was a large "enthusiasm gap," such that Republicans voted in larger percentages than Democrats did; also, younger voters decreased, as did minority voters; and older voters, as well as white voters, came out in larger numbers than in 2008.

82.5 million people voted, many of whom were spurred by anger over the lingering recession. But it is worth noting that this number was far fewer than the more than 131 million people who voted in the presidential election of 2008-- generally, presidential elections bring out a much greater number of voters than midterm elections do.

In the 2012 presidential election, approximately 93% of black voters supported Barack Obama.

The House of Representatives consists of a number of representatives that, for each district, can have a varying number. The whole House currently has a set member number of 435, but the census determines the size each state holds in that representation.

The states also control discipline once lawyers are admitted to practice. Complaints from clients or others may be made to the state bar, which reviews them and imposes discipline, if necessary.

In 2008, President Obama received almost 53% of the popular vote and 365 electoral votes. His total of 69,456,897 votes was the most ever received by a U.S. presidential candidate. In 2012, his vote total was down from 2008, but he still won with a solid margin. He received 65,367,939 popular votes, and 332 electoral votes.

We do not know yet but we do know that Obama has 30% and McCain has 60%.

Because there are those who were not allowed to, and sometimes still cannot, acquire much wealth because of their race, gender, age, etc.

Some have much less motivation to do anything about the situation they are in or are heading to, while others try hard to come out from under, but because of much discrimination set from birth, it can become near impossible.

If you'll pardon the pun, you've already taken the first step by being accepted by your step-father as his child. With that record on file at your area courthouse, go to the courthouse and locate the section where you can change your name legally. And congrats. Adoption, the biological father has to sign a paper of name change and rights.(sometimes all rights sometimes whatever you want)

From my perspective: Sociology is the study of society. If you understand you society, what is accepted within the society and what is not accepted you find ways to be yourself in a manner that others find acceptable. By being accepted within your space, you are more content and relaxed. Less stress leads to better mental and physical health.

Answer By one estimate I found in 2002, 106,456,367,669 people had been born though this number has some debate around it. The estimate is from the Population Reference Bureau.

cw: Someone estimated that the number of people alive today equals the sum of all people who ever existed, up to now.

He doesn't mention anything about schooling.

In his book, The Audacity of Hope on page 344, Obama writes: "none of these policies need discourage families from deciding to keep a parent at home…For some families, that may mean doing without certain material comforts. For others it may mean home schooling….Whatever the case may be, such decisions should be honored." On his website he also says this, "Prepare Teachers: Obama and Biden will require all schools of education to be accredited. Obama and Biden will also create a voluntary national performance assessment so we can be sure that every new educator is trained and ready to walk into the classroom and start teaching effectively." He also supports the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN tribunal authorized to interpret and enforce the Children's Convention, sets forth an exhaustive index of children's rights, many at odds with the rights of parents. It has held, for instance, that Britain violated children's rights in Wales by allowing parents to withdraw their children from public school programs without first considering the children's wishes. In other words, the United Nations has determined that the government will decide what is best for our children.

Not really. The president (any US president, not just Barack Obama) can be a very powerful person, but he is rarely powerful enough to take over an entire country. An oligarchy refers to a government run by a small group of powerful elites (whether individuals or organizations). Some countries that have such a government are very similar to dictatorships, since the people have little say and less impact on what happens and all decisions are made by the powerful few.

Certain critics of money in American politics (and especially the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court) have expressed the belief that the US does not really have a democracy these days-- a handful of wealthy billionaire businessmen have excessive influence in our politics. But whether that is true or not, the fact remains that Barack Obama isn't one of them-- he isn't a billionaire and he isn't part of any small group that controls the country's politics. And while many of us are concerned by the trend towards more and more power going to the top 1%, the United States is not quite at the oligarchy level just yet, even if at times it seems that's where we are heading.

The only people who say this are some of the president's Republican political opponents, and they say it to make him look bad, so they can defeat him. There have been many corrupt administrations in American history-- Warren G. Harding and Richard Nixon come to mind. But whether you like President Obama or not, it is completely false to say he is "the most corrupt president in history," since the facts do not support such an assertion.

The supporters of each man would say there are big differences. President Bush was much more of a religious conservative, for example, and he supported very conservative policies on social issues; he also surrounded himself with advisers who had strong religious beliefs, and that informed some of those policies. President Obama, while generally a moderate, is certainly more liberal than President Bush was on matters of stem cell research, gay marriage, and access to contraception.

On foreign policy, both men seemed to agree on the necessity of being at war in Afghanistan, but President Obama was opposed to the War in Iraq and pledged to bring the troops home from there. And President Bush had strong ties to the oil industry and to the King of Saudi Arabia, which Obama did not have. Critics of President Bush also have observed that he was not very intellectually curious and did not want to hear any views that challenged what he already believed. President Obama, on the other hand, was a former lawyer and more accustomed to considering a number of potential choices before making his decision. And finally, both men were raised very differently. Mr. Bush came from an upper-class family that was very well-connected politically-- his father was a war hero and a former diplomat. Mr. Obama was a biracial child at a time when interracial marriages were not common; he was raised in a lower middle-class home, by a single mom (and a father who left when young Barack was only two) and later by his maternal grandparents.

But answering this question is difficult, because most of the differences are political: Bush is a conservative Republican, while Obama is a moderate (not a liberal, based on his voting and governing record) Democrat. Those who disliked Bush tended to be moderate or liberal Democrats; those who dislike Obama tend to be Republican and conservative.

Cell culture is the process by which prokaryotic, or eukaryotic cells are grown under controlled conditions. In practice the term "cell culture" has come to refer to the culturing of cells derived from multicellular eukaryotes, especially animal cells. The historical development and methods of cell culture are closely interrelated to those of tissue culture and organ culture. Wikipedia.com thank you Cells are reproduced outside their natural environment. Examples: drug testing, vaccines, artificial tissue(skin), stem cells.

It is difficult to predict your height based solely on your father's height. Genetics play a role, but environmental factors, nutrition, and other genes from your family also influence your ultimate height.

Racial realism is a term used for either of two directly opposed positions, both motivated by the durability and social importance of racial distinctions: * The view that racial distinctions are socially constructed but enduringly important because dominant social forces continually reinforce them. Law professor Derrick Bell is a characteristic advocate of this view.

Any race can have albino children. It is a condition that is more prevalent among those of African descent, but it can happen to anyone.

First, the subtext of this question seems to be a belief that President Obama is a Marxist. He is not, nor is the healthcare law Marxist. That said, Karl Marx did not express many opinions about healthcare laws, given that such things were not common in his era. Since he believed the workers deserved fair treatment and that the bosses often exploited the workers, he undoubtedly would have supported any effort that gave protection and greater rights to workers. Please note there are some fake Karl Marx quotes online, in which he allegedly warns about socialized medicine. Marx said no such thing.
