Many people think immigrants are willingly “taking over” the United States, but I agree with Gonzalez. No one wants to leave his or her culture, family, and land behind. Immigrants are forced to leave everything familiar to them just to survive. In many parts of the world poor government leads to deaths of innocent people, and an unfair treatment of citizens. Our country is a super power, and we owe a part of that to immigrants from Latin America.
Acts of Vigilantism Luis Hernandez and the Suspected Car Thief Chris Soriano Do you think the individual made the best decision possible given the circumstances? In the Luis Hernandez case, I feel that he was trying to do the right thing for everyone within the community. He only meant to hold the thief there until the police arrived. Since things got out of control, Luis felt threatened (I’m sure) so he did what he believed was the right thing to do. He could have gotten hurt or possibly even killed in this incident.
Centuries later the Negro community was still riddled by racial injustice and oppression. These contradictions to the original visions of the founding fathers were still very much in existence when Dr. King made his speech. A scholar who graduated and received a bachelor degree in sociology from Morehouse College, Martin Luther King’s speech, “I Have a Dream” was carefully crafted to encourage and motivate the predominantly Negro audience to take a stand for an equal democracy. “This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off… Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.” King’s tone when he delivered his speech was derived from the cadence and rhythms of a preacher. His speech consisted of various literary elements such as figurative language and repetitive phrases that painted a vivid mural in the mind of the listener: “My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Salsa is often thought of as Latin essence as the word "soul" has been a description for black American essence (Baron 1977 : 217). Since the introduction of African slaves into Cuba during the 16th and 17th centuries, much of Cuban and Latin American music was influenced by the African rhythms and songs that slaves brought with them. The claves were originally thought to have been created by these slaves as they worked in the shipyards of
Unlike Greek plays, where main characters were kings and nobles for they were thought to embody the whole community, modern tragedies present an average leader of a family, neither completely good nor completely evil, whose mistake leads to his self-destruction. Joe is a role model to his neighbourhood for he is a hard-working, decent man; it is easy to feel identified with him. We see how significant he is among his neighbours since even children have a sense of respect for him. We see this when little Bert says; “Except some kids from Thirtieth Street. They started kicking a can down the block, and I made them go away because you were sleeping”.
To avoid further aggression from the public and media, Rockefeller would just show his company’s books to his competitors and if they didn’t sell he would buy them for cheap once he bankrupt them. As ruthless as Rockefeller was, he was also a giving man and enjoyed donating to the right cause. Rockefeller contributed to society during his time by means
Through his experiences, one can comprehend how his view of the world and life itself widened and darkened across his journey in the 1950s of Latin America. From his emotion, empathy, and love for the world and Latin America, Ernesto’s diary will provide understanding for his political beliefs as a youth which developed into the decisions he made as an iconic revolutionary(Guevara, 2006,p. 5). Moreover, it will give readers a first-hand experience of Ernesto’s observations and pain as he witnesses the issues plaguing South America at the time(Guevara, 2006,p. 2).
Police Ethics With so much corruption in our world today, it is not hard to believe that police officers are not always honest and living up to their code of ethics. Police misconduct can occur for many reasons, such as helping out family and friends, anger towards a certain race, and just to take their anger out on others. Many times, police will dismiss people from a ticket or have the ticket “fixed” for their friends or family, which is a form of police misconduct even though many people do not recognize it as that. Police misconduct also occurs when the police officer is racist and unable to separate their feelings of others from their jobs, and they feel that because they are a part of a police force they cannot or will not be charged with violence or murder if they wrongfully attack someone. Our country has recently witnessed a large amount of police misconduct, and the murders of innocent people.

People do it just earn his living. There is no pleasure in such a job, however, people have to take it for their living, just like Buck who “ did not like it, but he bore up well to the work, taking pride in it, and seeing that his mates did their fair share. For surviving, violence is easily found out from Buck’s experiences. Buck lives the life of a sated aristocrat before he is kidnapped. He meets the man in the red sweater, who provides the first lesson: a man with a club is a
