Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee Movie Review The movie was made to show how the Indians in the United States were treated so unfairly by the United States government. The Indians were the first on this land but the settlers were determined that they had more right to the land than the Indians did. The Story is of Charles Eastman who is half Sioux Indian and was taken from his tribe, by his father, at a young age to be Americanized in public schools. He went on to learn and to be very well educated and became a doctor. For a while he worked for the government trying to help with Indian right, and settlement separation.
1.The old locks and lack of guards in the palace of corrective detention indicate that they believed that they never needed to have improved the security because they never expected for someone to think on their own like equality 7-2521. Naturally everyone wouldn’t even think about escaping due to the precautions taken if they were found. Equality 7-2521 doesn’t care for this all he cares for and that drives him is to be with the council of scholars.

U.S.A. Patriot Act The founding fathers believed in civil liberties and paid the price for freedom. Freedom isn’t earned, it’s fought relentlessly and passed down for a new generation to be able to know what it’s like to be free. Is freedom a right or a privilege? Very few people can pay for it let alone handle it, it’s something that cannot be on a fine line or in between, you either have it or you don’t. I believe we take advantage of it because we are used to it and no one has been able to take it away from us, most of the people in the U.S. probably don’t know their full rights, the rights people before them died for in order to keep the future secure.

Book Review – Lakota Woman By Mary Crow Dog Since the American government passed laws to push for progress and to help ‘civilise’ the Native American peoples, Indians have suffered as they can no longer practice their cultural customs or speak their native languages and yet are considered to be less than human in the eyes of the White Americans.

Growing up on an Indian reservation Mary Crow Dog experienced the ethnocentrism
They wanted to keep their homes and not be forced out. The land was no one’s but everyone’s and nobody could force someone off of something that isn’t theirs.

Instead of helping the white people, it caused more problems for everyone. In 1864, while the Civil War raged on Chivington planned an attack on the Cheyenne and Arapahos.
The reason why it was only them two together was because they had no family and no other friends that would be able to tolerate or handle them. In the text Lennie had wanted George to tell him how their relationship was. He said “Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family...”(Steinbeck 13). After George explained, Lennie clearly stated that “But not us!
The people didn’t have a choice whether or not to elect a new leader. In the movie, the High Chancellor rules the United Kingdom as a totalitarian state, meaning there are no limits to his authority and he tried to control every aspect of the people’s life that he possibly can. Democracy is the only real form of government that gives the people liberty and equality. Democracy gives people rights, like the right to vote. With the Chancellor’s totalitarian rule, the people had no rights and no way to vote him or any other officials out of office.
