Sebastian Henderson Professor Browning English 112 February 2nd, 2017 Education: The effects it has on Society and Politics An Annotated Bibliography Cole, Jonathan R. "Ignorance Does Not Lead to Election Bliss." The Atlantic , Atlantic Media Company, 8 Nov. 2016, www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/11/ignorance-does-not-lead-to-election-bliss/506894/ . Mr. Cole's article "Ignorance Does Not Lead to Election Bliss" almost directly correlates the lack of education in our public education system and how our previous election turned out. He gives examples of things like how more Americans could recognize Michael Jackson's Billie Jean in the first four measures that the ones who recognized the bill of rights. This article really shoes the distinct lack of education that people in the United States have on politics. Collender, Guy. "Education in Nigeria: The Impact of Bad Politics and a Blueprint for Progress." Education in Nigeria: The Impact of Bad Politics and a Blueprint for Progress | LIDC - London International Development Centre . N.p., 05 Oct. 2015. Web. 02 Feb. 2017. This Articles focuses on Nigeria's political structure and how due to the lack of Education the people are being let down and almost screwed over by their political officials. It shows how most of the citizens have around a middle school education and that the people in the higher echelon of their society mainly all have college education. It shows how failed their very rudimentary education truly is. Herlitz, Stephen. "Lack of Political Interest Due to Poor Education." The Massachusetts Daily Collegian , 28 Oct. 2013, dailycollegian.com/2013/10/28/lack-of-political-interest-due-to-poor-education/. Another example of American politics that is on display during the article "Lack of Political interest due to poor education" by Mr. Herlitz. Basically, he goes over the fact that most parents are discouraging their children for pursuing political office. Because of this parents are more likely to less educate their children on the political process and policies which then leads to political ignorance. Runciman, David. "How the Education Gap Is Tearing Politics Apart | David Runciman." The Long Read , Guardian News and Media, 5 Oct. 2016, www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/oct/05/trump-brexit-education-gap-tearing-politics-apart . In this Article Mr. Runciman address the radical rhetoric used by one of the candidates during the election and how it connected with a lot of supporters who were mainly on the less educated spectrum of society. I also went and took and in depth look at how the Brexit vote and looked at the polling and noticed that most of the people who voted for the Brexit weren't in the Talented tenth percent and that most of the voters didn't have a college degree. Thomas, P.L. "Politics and Education Don't Mix!" The Atlantic , Atlantic Media Company, 26 Apr. 2014, www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/04/politics-and-education-dont-mix/256303/ . Thomas's "Politics and Education Don't Mix!" article goes into the debate of leadership characteristics/traits or expertise and knowledge. It talks about how in the United States early on students are taught it's not who you know it's what you know. He then goes into the issue of the trickle- down effect of ideas that then lead to a mob mentality ordeal. He uses the great example of a hierarchical system of a school about how information is started at the top and eventually finds its way down to the students and spreads rapidly. .
