The Decline of American Political Parties, Martin P. WattenbergIntroductionThe political element in America is very dynamic and even sometimes controversial; it seeks to encompass a wide range of areas in a way that binds and constrains many elements of society that continue to dictate various elements. It is important to understand the place of race in contemporary American society. From time immemorial, different races have tended to take a competing stance against each other as they struggled to bring an element of coherence and nobility to the whole political idea. America continues to be a diverse society; there are different people who live in the nation. Most of these people worry about the differences that might manifest in their lives and continue to promote various notions of democracy and total accountability. It is understandable that there are always conflicts in diversity; The best way to handle these conflicts is to provide an appropriate and effective means of conflict resolution. Wattenberg, in The Decline of American Political Parties, 1952-1996, seeks to analyze and use a scenario that illuminates what is happening in American society. Although he puts forward various reasons to explain this decline in the influence of American political parties, the idea of ​​racial conflicts gains a preponderant place in the speech. Although the author does not mention it, it is possible to argue that the idea of ​​diversity played a role in the decline of political parties in the mid-to-late 20th century. The importance and place of this author in contemporary society cannot go unnoticed.
