Election Issues and Presidential Candidates of 2016

I learned many things throughout the experience of learning about election issues and the candidates.
One of the things that I learned was that their were four candidates running for president (Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein).
I assumed that the only two candidates in the election were Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Something else that I thought was interesting was that all of the candidates had different opinions on different topics. Sometimes three of the candidates would be on the “Pro” side, and one candidate would be on the “Con” side. Or there would be two candidates on each of the sides. It would always depend on the election issue.
A lot of the issues that I read about, I didn’t even know were happening. For example, the federal minimum wage issue and that the debate about having more restrictions to purchasing a gun.
Reading about all of these issues, really brought me to see how we can make the world a better place.

Google Tips


1. You should use both closed and open questions.  If you want a quick answer, you should use a closed question. A closed question gives you an answer in just one or two words, or a list. If you’re looking for a long answer, let’s just say a research project, you should use an open question. An open question gives an answer in a paragraph or a couple of sentences. Both types of questions are used for different purposes, but they both end up being very useful when it comes to what kind of answer you’re looking for.


  1. You should use Google Search tips. Using Google Search Tips are really helpful when you’re doing a research project or even just looking up something for fun. The tips will give you more accurate results when typing something into the Google Search bar. An example on how to do this, is putting quotations around what’s typed in your search bar. By doing this, results will come up with the whole phrase in it, instead of having results come up with one or two words put randomly in different pages.
