Public exploded with rage when the death of a protesting high school student was caused by a tear gas bomb. The citizens demanded that the election be nullified. Syngman resigned and after the protest the 12 year dictatorship was brought to its knees. The General implemented a decree by which the citizens were not allowed to voice their own opinions and they were prohibited to have long hair or play critical music. Slanders against Chung Hee were not published in the newspaper.
The images that were broadcasted all over America did not please the public and before long riots and protests were being held in the streets to end the war. This was because hundreds of American soldiers had died in a war they thought was coming to an end. The Tet Offensive proved otherwise and caused a major disagreement between the public and the American government. Many people believe that this almost forced the government to end the war because without the moral support from their own country there would be no chance in another. On the other hand, the Americans actually won the fight and in doing so managed to kill thousands of Vietcong’s, unmasked Vietcong’s, which they had not been able to do very well until this point.

Malik is a plaintiff at this point and if he decided to sue Daniel as a result of his negligence would be awarded in his favor. Daniel was fired by his boss assuming that Daniel had given Ruben alcohol, which was untrue. Daniel became a defendant at this point for wrongful firing without refutable evidence that Daniel had ultimately committed a crime. While walking to his vehicle Daniel is approached by Malik who pulls a concealed weapon in a public place became a defendant at this point because it is against the law.

These kinds of events were not supposed to happen at a simple high school in Colorado. They especially were not supposed to happen at Columbine. The events just described occurred on April 20th, 1999 at Columbine High School. Two high school students possessing illegally obtained guns barged into the high school and opened fire, killing fifteen people including themselves and injuring twenty-four others (Carter, Gun Control: Overview). Up to that point, this was the most significant school shooting massacre in American history.
The Tiananmen Square Massacre In 1989, one of the world’s most shocking incidents occurred in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. The peaceful protest held by the students against the Chinese Communist Party was ended as Deng gave the order for open fire. As the tanks rolled in on them this marked the sad death for around 200 students. However we are unsure of the exact amount for the death toll as the Chinese government concealed it as much as possible. In this essay I will explain and describe the responses to the incident by China and the other nations of the world, why they reacted in their particular way and how their reaction may have changed over the last few years.
Today there is not a more hotly debated issue than gun control. The most recent school shooting event has prompted an “I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it any more” moment just like it did in Sydney Lumet’s 1976 movie, Network. How many more school shootings do there need to be before the government stops talking about it and steps up and does something about it? It all seems to have started on April 20, 1999, when two high school students who were armed with weapons and bombs entered Columbine High School and killed twelve of their fellow classmates, one teacher and injured many more. On December 14, 2012, a lone gunman killed twenty first graders and six school teachers and administrators with an assault style rifle at the Sandy Hook Elementary School just outside of Newtown, Connecticut (Jonson).
It took only ten minutes for Nikolas Cruz to enter the school premises, fire dozens of rounds throughout the school, and kill seventeen students and teachers. Many of the results of other shootings occurred here as well, but the perpetrator did not kill himself at the end; rather, he left campus in accordance of the students who fled the school. Though, the police forces caught him soon after. The feeling of dread that the students felt as their peers and teachers fell, before them, downed by the malicious intents of an alumnus cannot and could not be tolerated. Those within the building suffered through the dread of death, but their families had to endure the fear of their loved one falling to those bullets.
Last year, Angelina Green, a fourteen year old girl from Indiana hung herself from a tree, and left a suicide note on her bed for her mother explaining her death was caused by bullying (Goldstein, 2014). The young girl was called demeaning names every day from her eighth grade classmates. In her suicide letter, she indicated she wanted her classmates that tormented her to attend her funeral. Angelina’s mother pleaded the suicide of her daughter to Indiana’s state legislature to pass House Bill 1423. This bill will hold schools responsible for any bullying that take place on or around the school campus.
