Examples of red-state blue-state divide in the following topics:
-
- They wanted parents to have the option of sending children to private, religious schools (at state expense), and they opposed legalized abortion or equal rights for gay and lesbian people.
- He argued that on an increasing number of "hot-button" defining issues, such as abortion, gun politics, separation of church and state, privacy, recreational drug use, homosexuality, and censorship issues, there existed two definable polarities.
- Furthermore, not only were there a number of divisive issues, but society had divided along essentially the same lines on these issues, so as to constitute two warring groups, defined primarily not by religion, ethnicity, social class, or even political affiliation, but rather by ideological world views.
- So-called red state/blue state maps have become popular for showing election results.
- Some suggest that the red state/blue state divide maps the battle lines in the culture wars.
-
- This red-state blue-state divide can be more accurately explained by looking at urban and rural voting.
- For example, in the 2008 elections, even in "solidly blue" states, the majority of voters in most rural counties voted for Republican John McCain, with some exceptions.
- In "solidly red" states, a majority of voters in most urban counties voted for Democrat Barack Obama.
- An even more detailed precinct-by-precinct breakdown demonstrates that in many cases, large cities voted for Obama, but their suburbs were divided.
- This map of the different party strength in the 2004 Presidential Election (red states voted Republican and blue states voted Democrat) demonstrates the relationship between political socialization and geography.
-
- The terms "red state" (Republican-voting) and "blue state" (Democratic-voting) were standardized during the 2000 US presidential election.
- Interestingly, though, there was no coordinated media effort to designate Democratic states blue and Republican states red on the 2000 election night and neither party's national committee has officially accepted the red and blue color designations.
- Despite the nearly nationwide acceptance of Republican red states and Democratic blue states, the paradigm has come under criticism.
- The designation of states as either being red or blue also ignores those states that are closely divided between Democratic and Republican candidates.
- Another criticism of the red state-blue state paradigm is that it has not been entirely predictive of how states will vote.
-
- Assume that there are two types of students (red and blue) and that the mean for the red students is 52, the mean for the blue students is 50, both distributions are normal, and the standard deviation for each distribution is 10.
- Would there be a big difference between the proportion of blue and red students who would be able to be accepted into the program?
- It turns out that the proportion of red students who would qualify is 0.036 and the proportion of blue students is 0.023.
- Although this difference is small in absolute terms, the ratio of red to blue students who qualify is 1.6:1.
- This means that if 100 students were to be accepted and if equal numbers of randomly-selected red and blue students applied, 62% would be red and 38% would be blue.
-
- The cells that circulate in the bloodstream are generally divided into three types: white blood cells (leukocytes), red blood cells (erythrocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
- Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells, typically composing about 1% of the red cells in the human body.
- Reticulocytes develop and mature in the red bone marrow and then circulate for about a day in the blood stream before developing into mature red blood cells.
- Like mature red blood cells, reticulocytes do not have a cell nucleus.
- They are called reticulocytes because of a reticular (mesh-like) network of ribosomal RNA that becomes visible under a microscope with certain stains such as new methylene blue.
-
- The United States is an example of a representative democracy.
- Those representatives serve in local, state, and national governments.
- For example, until 1967, some states outlawed interracial marriage.
- Green, yellow, and blue are presidential republics with less (green) or more (blue) presidential power.
- Red are parliamentary constitutional monarchies in which the monarch does not personally exercise power.
-
- This energy serves to move the electrons in nitrogen and oxygen from their ground state up to an excited state, where they can then decay back to the ground state by emitting photons of visible light (see the concept on emission spectra for more information).
- Nitrogen emissions are blue if the atom regains an electron after it has been ionized and red if the atom returns to ground state from an excited state.
- Oxygen is unusual in terms of its return to ground state: it can take three-quarters of a second to emit green light and up to two minutes to emit red.
- This is why there is a color differential with altitude: at high altitudes, oxygen's red emissions remain; then, oxygen's green emissions and nitrogen's blue and red emissions; and finally, only nitrogen's blue and red emissions are left, because collisions prevent oxygen from emitting any light at all.
- Green is the most common color of all auroras, followed by pink, a mixture of light green and red, pure red, yellow (a mixture of red and green), and pure blue.
-
- Blood contains plasma and blood cells, some of which have hemoglobin that makes blood red.
- Deoxygenated blood is a darker shade of red.
- In cyanide
poisoning, venous blood remains
oxygenated, increasing the redness.
- Under normal conditions, blood can never truly be blue, although most visible veins appear blue because only blue light can can penetrate deeply enough to illuminate veins beneath the skin.
- When blood volume becomes too low, such as from an injury, dehydration, or internal bleeding, the body will enter into a state of hypovolemic shock, in which tissue perfusion decreases too much.
-
- Carbon atoms may have any oxidation state from –4 (e.g.
- Fortunately, we need not determine the absolute oxidation state of each carbon atom in a molecule, but only the change in oxidation state of those carbons involved in a chemical transformation.
- In the hydrolysis reaction of a nitrile shown above, the blue colored carbon has not changed its oxidation state.
- Carbon atoms colored blue are reduced, and those colored red are oxidized.
- In the following equation and half-reactions the carbon atom (blue) is reduced and the magnesium (magenta) is oxidized.
-
- Sulfur burns with blue flame, is insoluble in water, and forms polyatomic allotropes.
- Molten sulfur assumes a dark red color above 200 °C.
- Sulfur burns with a blue flame, concomitant with formation of sulfur dioxide, notable for its peculiar suffocating odor.
- The magnitude of the figures is caused by electron transfer between orbitals; these states are only stable with strong oxidants such as fluorine, oxygen, and chlorine.
- Sulfur burns with blue flames and forms blood-red liquid when it melts.
