Football records, football records really arent a global issue but people cant be arguing in situations when they have to look up a record to prove someone wrong, there cant be a wrong record/ the wrong information about the record. On the page there needs to be information about the football records, what they are, what they mean to the players and all that jazz. I might even throw in some of the best football records on the page. Include what the hall of fame is because its connected to the records.

I am choosing "Voting Correctly" for my article. The reason i chose voting correctly is because i feel like it means a lot right now in the world. Obviously the new election is coming in 2020 so why not fill a Wikipedia page on voting correctly.

Obviously voting is related to our class because we talk about new presidents, elections and voting across the world. A good topic that doesn't have enough about it on a Wikipedia page. So many people vote to just vote and its not right so at least know how to vote to get our right president in there.

"Voting correctly is a concept from political psychology that means a vote decision "that is the same as the choice which would have been made under conditions of full information." Measurements of correct votes are used to determine how accurate low-information voters are at determining the candidate or party that best represents the voters' interests". in a democracy the people that are in the society should participate and keep up with politics. All of the people are allowed to have their own opinion and who they think is the correct person to vote for. There isn't a high number of people who seem to have interest in politics but the discussions, debates and arguments are high. There are only a good amount of people who actually care about politics beyond voting. With that it is for sure to be that person and "Vote Correctly". A person needs all the information processed from the politics and not just the voting part. There is only so much information that a brain can process in a short term process, meaning that someone probably can't take in every piece of information and use it for voting. Once the internet started to become big people thought that the internet would change democracy. Now that there is internet it connects people easier and gets the information that people need day to day in life.The internet can be viewed as a life changing thing in not only the world but in all aspects of life but for politics and voters. Then there became the idea of voting online and changed a lot of things coming with it. To vote online it cost absolutely nothing and can get all of your sources and information on who to vote on. Most of the voters are older people and sometimes they have no transportation or can't drive in bad weather. So what's a better idea than to have them be able to vote but from home. Now that the internet is accessible for everyone its very easy for them to join clubs or connect with people to talk about their own views and politics. Communicating with other people and seeing or reading what they have to say can jerk or change your views on things even if they are false or true. A lot of peoples expressive ideas doesn't only depend on if they vote but also on how they are voting and if they are happy with their decision. It can be said a person votes on personal norms, values and identity. In a small voting body there is a good chance that your vote can change the outcome. In a large body it is very hard that your vote will change the outcome of the election or whatever that person is voting for. In a world of trying to vote correctly and voting in a strategic way there is a good chance that you have to get rid of the thought of who you want to win will win. The only reason is because if that person doesn't have a chance to win why waste that vote. Unless who you want to win is a top candidate then stick with them and vote for them. People vote to change the outcome of the election and to make sure who they want to win is win. A lot of people seem to consider themselves insecure when they go to vote. Sometimes not even sure on who they want to win when going to vote so they get nervous. Voting places do have secret ballot shelters to make sure you make your own decision on who to vote for. Doesn't mean seeing people and hearing what they have to say won't change your opinion or who you wish to vote for. Most people say that your social interactions is how your behavior in politics will be. Others though say that your networks and your political behavior is how you choose on who you discuss politics too. Obviously when someone doesn't have much information on a subject the first thing/rumor they hear they most likely will believe (depending on the person). Then there is the people who wanna learn more about what they heard or get more interested in the subject they will ask more people their opinions or check the internet to see what others have to say. The big question in the US is that are people networks/ where they get their information is it to ignorant to make opportunities for others to learn their own way to politics. A lot of people in the US are ignorant and only see one side of things so it's hard for people to find their own opinions and just follow after their family most of the time. Most social networks make circumstances that help make voting consistent with someone's preferences. People can always flip open their laptop or take out their phone and read about what's going on, but do they actually learn and do they take in the information correctly. You can determine if someone has voted correctly mostly on just data people have and surveys. Most of the data we have has shown that people tend to vote correctly when it comes down to the voting time. There was a calculation that shows 75% of the five American presidential elections between 1972 and 1988. With a standard for correct vote decisions, political scientists have come to the final decision and said most of the people did vote correctly. Most people think that voting correctly is deeply linked with social interactions. A lot of people tend to listen to people they know or are close with and if they dont they will argue because they have knowledge. In another case they would ask to gain knowledge about the subject if interested. To be independent and have your own choice to vote is huge in the US so there is a lot of people who take it seriously, but doesnt mean they will be able to vote correctly. People also get to make the decision on who they get to talk with. Which means they choose who they listen to and who to agree or disagree with. Everything is in your hands in this country, so isn't voting correctly. Opinion leaders are a good way and example for people to vote correctly. People like to listen to others with strong opinions so people with a good voice that can get their words across are often other peoples listeners. Studies have shown that in very intense and high negativity campaigns shows a slim chance of correct voting.
