Name Instructor’s Name Course Date Confucian values routinely informed the actions and worldviews of everyone in Han China, from the highest official to the lowliest peasant. True or false? Introduction According to Murray (23), the Confucian ideology clearly illustrates that nurturing the basic instinct to live by submitting to those in power is the best applicable method of blocking the ability to question the credibility of whatever has been commanded by those in power. However, this is only possible the routine of continuously submitting to the powerful does not lead to unendurable suffering. The ideology concentrated on making subjects to be compliant to the order of authority that was before them.
The most important way to stop this erosion is to ensure that the next generation understands what the American Flag represents. I believe that the American Flag is more than just a three foot by five foot red white and blue piece of material. We need to remind our children as well as ourselves that the American Flag is more than this. It represents not only the freedoms and liberties that we sometimes take for granted, but also all of the true American Heroes that have served underneath it. The flag represents the soldiers that have fought at home and abroad to ensure that we retain the very freedoms that allow us to protest the wars that they are fighting.
Patrick Henry: Eh, I would say I am quite a bit of a leader. I'm very proud of my country and I wouldn't want anything but the freedom of living in it. “Give me Liberty, or give me death!” As I always say. “I know no way of judging of the future but by the past.” That's why I believe we should always make sure that we have a good, clean, and proud, present and past. For the certainty of the same in the
INTRODUCTION A. Attention Grabber & Introduction statement: Our national flag, the epitome of our democracy, we all fly it with pride. It symbolizes so many great aspects of our freedom, but yet nothing more symbolic than how it represents the ultimate sacrifice paid by our men and women in uniform. The flag reminds us of the rights, privileges, and freedoms we so dearly enjoy today. Lest we forget our service members for they paid the final costs.
What all humans want is similar: everyone wants a modest world where acceptance is not an option, and where none are judged only put into our hearts. What people want is the right to stand proudly for what they are without any problems. Linda Hogan exhibits a claim for peace, human hearts, and connecting to one another. She wishes peace within us by opening our hearts and minds to the fact that were all connected to nature, and to the earth; we are not separate from one another as most people would assume. Hogan writes, “The real ceremony begins when the formal one ends.
The loyalty, the belief, the strength that we each bring to this effort will guide America and to all those who serve it. The world will shine from the fire that we create. Kennedy encourages, if you are citizens of the world, or citizens of America, hold us to the same high standards as we hold for you. He then closes with “let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.” (107) The most memorable thing to come from this speech was Kennedy’s most famous quote, which has resonated throughout the history of America, “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”
October 4, 2010 Hrafnkel’s Saga The maxim, pride comes before fall, is eminent in Hrafnkel’s Saga. It seems that everyone in the main plot regard pride as a top virtue in life. To these people their pride and their word is all they truly have in life. Their word means a lot to them and they will stand by it forever, so when people go against their word and do things they agree to not do the others believe that justice should be paid to that person who went against their word. Such as when Einar went against his word to Hrafnkel, Hrafnkel murdered Einar for something as little as riding Hrafnkel’s horse.
There are some people who only come here to succeed but not belong in the American family because they still have love for their country. Then there are some who desire more benefits through citizenships, and want to unite with the American body. Bharati and Mira stands people like me, immigrants!

This I Believe: Lydia Darragh I believe what I’m doing is what a person should do for her own nation. I believe the pious quakeress blessed God for my preservation and most of all, I believe we should all become examples of courage and patriotism. Though we consider thee as a public enemy, we regard thee as a private friend. While we detest the cause thee fights for we wish well to thy personal interest and safety. I believe no matter what happen, I should always stand up and protect my country and loved ones.
In a comparison between Chinese and American youth it is seen that their goals are much the same and their motivation behind these goals all have to do with the universal need to be nurtured and loved in a family environment. In a country like China where tradition and family is so highly regarded it would be thought that young adults would be likely to follow in their parents footsteps. But in interviews with Wang Xiaolei, Ben Wu, and Lu Dong it is made clear that their life and career choices were very much their own. In the interview with Wang he even says, “My father, my mother- both useless” (Young and Restless in China). And Ben Wu says “So I want to learn how Chinese conduct business, what's the best opportunity in what industry” (Young and Restless in China).
