Because of this reminder, the reader can empathize with these immigrants when they feel many of our financial problems are unjustly blamed on them. This empathy leads into a value proof; that is, it is wrong to demonize a group of people based on incomplete information. The article also seems to use the demonstrations as an example of another value proof: it is good for a mischaracterized segment of our society to demonstrate in the public forum so that their grievances can be heard. Quindlen points out that such demonstrations have a long history in our country and have been used in the past to bring attention to real or perceived injustices. In my opinion, the emotional component of this essay tugs at the readers’ heart but leaves too much room for disagreement.
One problem with ideology was that the two powers openly criticised each other’s policies. Khrushchev was very critical about the Great Leap Forward, which led to the withdrawal of Soviet economic aid. Part of the reason was that Khrushchev did not agree with the ideological methodology of things such as the ‘back-yard’ furnaces. It was different to how the Soviets did it. Mao criticised Khrushchev for his policies such as de-Stalinisation and his secret speech.
The demographic group most affected by the war on drugs and the incarceration boom are the juveniles. Youth who turn to drugs and alcohol abuse are faced with harsh reality at YSI Facilities, another branch of the private prison industry. Rather than being charged with fines appropriate to their offenses and being sent to rehabilitation or other forms of drug treatment, non-violent offenders are locked away with long, harsh sentences. This profit-driven war on drugs and other substance abuse ruins the lives of the inmates, turning them into harder criminals by exposing them to such environments. According to a project run by The Huffington Post, 40% of juvenile offenders sent to private prisons on account of drug related crimes are arrested and convicted of harsher crimes in less than a year from their release (Kirkham).
He makes irrefutable arguments using facts with historical accuracy, and presents complex economic information in a way that neither confuses nor condescends. Reich asks questions throughout the documentary, such as “Which countries’ workers add what value?” and “Who looks out for the American worker?” which serve as an effective tool to make the viewers think twice. He doesn’t bash the 1% either, and only describes their contribution to the problem as not spending their money. With credible statistics, intriguing visuals, and an overall charming presentation of what is actually an alarming problem, Reich persuades the American public that the fading distinctiveness of American democracy will not halt without an active pursuit in developing a stronger middle
In fact, she called the recruiter Saturday morning by that evening he was at the house signing papers for enlistment. After the papers were signed, I was very happy until reality set in telling my grandparents. My grandparents were born in an era when African Americans did not have many opportunities, blacks were regulated to humiliating jobs, and the military was no exception to them. During their adolescent years, my grandfather could not go to school, so he worked at Alcoa as a laborer. And my grandmother had a high school education.
The year after that I added in a jazz class, and then a contemporary class. I was at the studio five days a week and I couldn’t have been any happier. When I was twelve I tried out for the Starbound dance company at my studio which is the competitive dance team. I was very nervous because it was my first solo I have performed, but I made the team my first year. I was ecstatic and remember shrieking and jumping up and down as I ran to my parents and they hugged me.
Critical Analysis#1 Looking back on the 1950 we see so many things that are familiar to us today, yet our lives are very different from people of the 1950. As we can see, everything becomes more consummate in nowadays. And we like this change. Coontz suggests that an uninformed nostalgia for the 1950’s could promote harmful political agendas. In fact, I agree with Coontz that such nostalgia can be dangerous.

Studies show that felons that commit crime as much, if they vote. 5.
It’s sad to think that these juveniles could turn their life around and possibly be model citizens once back out in the population. My thoughts are that the youth today facing criminal offenses need to be evaluated differently from adults in our courts and the appropriate laws should treat them accordingly. The crimes of juveniles need to be more closely evaluated while considering their age, family life, and other factors before a fair punishment can be agreed upon. Something I read while researching this topic was about a young woman Sarah Kruzan. At age 16 she shot and killed her pimp who had sexually and physically abused her.
