The 1960s-1970s was a time period that was very important to American Society. It helped in many aspects but also destroyed in other aspects. After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, President Lyndon B. Johnson was put to charge. His administration did a few things effectively and vice versa. President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration effectively made the :Great Society” and then tackled the growing issue of poverty through this program but unfortunately could not help the gender discrimination of this time period.
It took about a year to get the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy appealed. The first time it was first submitted for appealed was December 2010. July 6, 2011 ruling from a federal appeals court barred further enforcement of the U.S. military's ban on openly gay service members. When President Obama was campaigning back in 2008 before he was elected he made many uplifting speeches that some compared to the speeches s of the famous civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King gave. One of the most influential promises President Barrack Obama made was getting the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell done away with once and for all by starting the bill of getting the policy appealed.

A passing mention Frances Cayton heard in a history class was enough to fuel more than a year of intense research for a paper that never got a grade. In fact, it wasn’t even assigned. But that’s not to say that Frances, a senior at St. Mary’s School in Raleigh, wasn’t rewarded for her effort. Her paper was accepted for publication this fall in The Concord Review, a highly selective quarterly journal that publishes academic research papers from high school students. In Frances’ Western Civilization honors class sophomore year, teacher Lisa Grabarek mentioned that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin’s policies killed more people than Hitler did, and Frances wanted to know more.
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.
This paper describes the short lived life of Martin Luther King and his impact to American history. Was the approach he used made an impact to the unending fight over the civil rights for his race? Had his death given him the justice he was aiming for his people? Early Life Martin Luther King, Jr. was a brilliant student even at his early age. He attended Booker T. Washington High School, skipped both the
What started out as a west coast fad is now a rapidly growing epidemic. The east coast is just now getting a taste of what has been known to west coast families for years. Greater chemical regulations need to be set so that the ingredients are not obtainable in common household items such as fertilizers, lithium batteries and cold medicines. According to his biography on the New York Times website, Mr. Tierney has a long history of attending schools and working on the east coast, not giving him a chance to ever experience the effects of the meth epidemic from the other side of the country’s point of view. When it eventually reaches him, his family, and friends I believe that he will eat his words.
Forty-nine years later that proposal was brought to Congress. Before Congress voted on the issue, then President Richard Nixon endorsed the amendment. Needing a two-thirds majority vote, both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate quickly and overwhelmingly approved the amendment and pushed for its ratification in the state legislatures. However, all the state legislatures were not successful in ratifying and the Equal Rights Amendment died on the floor. Each year since 1982 the Equal Rights Amendment has been reintroduced into Congress and each year it is ignored.
Malcolm came from a difficult past of drugs and prison life and his story was one of various things that inspired oppressed African Americans. It comes as a surprise to many people when they are presented with the fact that Malcolm dropped out of school in the 8th grade (Brinkley, 2012). It is sometimes difficult to believe that someone who had such brilliant thoughts and spoke with such conviction had not even completed a high school education. His success was a symbol for many, and it was easy to draw courage from his determination. If Malcolm could overcome the situation that he had originally been in and become an advocate for equality for all, certainly anyone was capable of doing the same.
Discrimination Laws in Pennsylvania Last year, after learning about the discrimination and disconnect about Chick-a-Fila, I was curious to learn more about the discrimination laws in Pennsylvania and in Allegheny County. Because of all the misunderstanding around the situation, the communities around Allegheny County and the United States were all in an uproar. This is when I decided that I wanted to create a career in human resources and helping people. So, this past May I enrolled back into college to pursue my degree. In my research, I’ve learned that Allegheny County along with a handful of other counties in the state of Pennsylvania prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
