The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay is a documentary about the direct and indirect slavery of African Americans ever since the first African was taken away from his or her home land in the seventeenth century. The title, “13th”, refers to the 13th amendment which was supposedly passed to abolish slavery and the 150 years of unfair treatment that occurred even after that amendment was ratified. This documentary’s purpose is to showcase all the unacceptable events that blacks have been through for the past hundreds of years and to emphasize that all lives matter including those of people of color. 13th displays how unfair treatment evolved from slavery to unnecessary imprisonment to segregation to being seen as a threat by the community.…
Well, despite the victory today, if Santa Anna escapes, he has the remainder of the Mexican Army, some 5000 men, nearby that could march quickly to San Jacinto and probably cause Sam Houston and his 1000-1500 men to resume his retreat across Texas. Otherwise, if we capture Santa Anna, who was not only the General of the Mexican Army but also the Dictator of Mexico, we can end the war here.…
My advice to makayla is to never get stuck on one question no longer than five minutes. It's okay to skip a question and come back to it later once you have answer all of the other questions. It's also okay to guess intelligently on some of the questions. I feel that you shouldn't always linger on the same questions, because that can cause you to loose most of you time on the test. John When writing I think John should just write everything out first step-by-step.…
Bolivia is a beautiful multiethnic and democratic country in the middle of South America. The official capital city of Bolivia is Sucre. Another capital they used is La Paz, located in the west-central part of the country. It is landlocked borders or neighbors with Peru, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Bolivia is sometimes referred to as the Tibet of Americas.…
Discovering the Music of Protest There is perhaps no epidemic in America worse then the racism and discrimination black people have face since the creation of this “free” nation. A shameful secret that the American government still barely acknowledged but a very real problem that has only grown with time with police murdering innocent black men, women and children, and the more recent event of having a raging racist elected as the USA’s new president. That is why I have decided to write my essay on “Strange Fruit” by Abel Meeropol performed most famously by Billie Holiday. “Strange Fruit” is perhaps the most iconic protest song in recent memory. With a haunting piano intro followed by Billie Holiday’s shaking voice this song shot to fame being nominated for a bevy of awards, and for good reason, it lingers in your mind the lyrics and it pulls no punches, telling the story of those who died these painful deaths without the rose coloured glasses historians like describe it as.…
Republican voters, you hollered and hollered about how you wanted to make America great again. I say, get a mirror. Your hate for Hillary Clinton was at a boiling point, I get that. Ever since the Republicans took over the Congress and later the Senate, they have been the party of NO. They said, they are not cooperating with the Black President, and attacking Hillary every chance they got.…
My question is drawn from the Aristotle’s Rhetoric, Pages 1-15. The quote that inspired my question was, “In a political debate, the man who is forming a judgement is making a decision about his own vital interests.” This quote made me think about the people I know who have risen above themselves and who seek to help others. People who volunteer frequently, donate large percentages of their paychecks, and people who always hold the door open for others are the people who come to mind. Obviously, these people have their own self-interests as well, but they also spend a noticeable amount of their time helping others and looking out for our society as well.…
Persuasive Essay Ethnic Studies is the interdisciplinary study of differing race, ethnicity, and Nation, but also sexuality, gender, and other such markings and power, as expressed by the state, by civil society. When the schools in TUSD didn’t have the Ethnic Studies Classes they’re graduation rate for Hispanics was at 50 percent, but after they started having the Ethnic Studies Classes the graduation rates for the Hispanic students went all the way up to 93 percent, which was a very good improve that benefited a lot of people. The Ethnic Studies class also helped so many of the students that didn’t try at all and that they didn’t even care about school. The Ethnic Studies Class encourages students to get out…
America has always let in people from all around the world and we shouldn’t allow terrorist to scare us because that is what they want. I have seen that so far none of the refugees have done anything to the U.S. This shows that there is no big reason to not let them in and show we should be obligated to help them. America should always help those in need and be brave to help other when people are afraid to help them.…
Just earlier last month Haiti was still recovering from a massive earthquake and was then hit with something terrible. It devastated the country, caused tons of flooding and killed hundreds. Hurricane Matthew was a horrible disaster and killed thousands people all over the world. It has forced Haitians to bathe in and drink contaminated water, and has left many homeless and disease ridden. There are bodies scattered all throughout Haiti, lifeless, next to hundreds of perished buildings and houses.…

Imagine that you are in college playing in your last football game and you want to get drafted into the NFL. The scouts are watching you from the stands, you mess up, give up, and don’t want to get back of the field. Coach puts you back in the game you mess up again, but this time you are going 100 hundred percent and coach does not take you out of the game, that’s what the scouts are looking for. They are also looking for what you would do in a close situation. To be able to get drafted into the NFL is that you have to be prepared for the scouts to come, you have to be a Student-Athlete, and you have to be healthy enough and to work out with organizations.…
The America I Believe In You should be able to marry who you want when you want. Even if they are the same gender. I think people who are the same gender should be able to marry each other. It shouldn’t matter who you date or marry.…
How many times have you passed by people sitting on the street,with a plastic glass or a small cardboard box asking for spare change? Have you ever noticed the amounts of people who have neither home,nor a job to sustain themselves? Perhaps you think it is their own fault; you might think if they wanted, they would have it all. ‘’Go find yourself a job’’ is a regular phrase homeless people hear. However,this advice is pointless,because there are objective reasons why people lose homes and jobs,and why they cannot return to a normal life.…
“Look, while they stayed the order of battle, the fields of wealth always maintain well enough by the hands of subjects or servants, though the fields of poor people just remain desolations, then the people must owe a debt, and became slaves in a trade. Who is responsible for it?” In short, patriotism is an aggressive, militaristic sentiment like what “gives honor to the man who would beat down foreign people,” and just a brutal instinct. Besides, the politicians who agitate the public effectively under the slogan, next, begin to oppress the anti-Establishment groups. Thus, Syuusui argued imperialism that the basic stance of imperialism is militarism.…
