Beren S. Carroll is a student at The University of Texas at Austin, double majoring in Corporate Communication and Economics. His passion in life is the study of human behavior, with an emphasis on persuasion and influence. From a political standpoint, he likes to examine the way that issues are framed in the media and how our perceptions can be altered by what we see. Beren is an independent, with a strong preference for evaluating candidates based on what they offer, rather than a more generic party loyalty. His most important criteria for evaluating politicians lies in whether they will uphold the freedoms guaranteed us by the U.S. Constitution and not allow the government to become too big, powerful, or invasive in our lives. That being said, he does feel that the government can be utilized to improve education, ensure a healthy economy, and provide other basic services to citizens.
