‘“You can’t just live like this”, I said. “Why not?” Mom said. “Being homeless is an adventure”.’ Even though Walls knows her parents made the decisions that led them to where they are today, she feels unhappy for them. Walls began to realize that her parent’s decisions weren’t the best for her family, and she began to have mixed feelings for what she needed to do. ‘“Mom, you have to leave Dad”, I said’.
The War in Iraq Isn’t it interesting how the media portraits the war in Iraq? It’s always the negative points and never the good ones. There is so much disbelief and lying about our military and government that it is disgusting! Everyone believes that this war is pointless and stupid, however it needed to be done to make an example! The United States is the strongest government in the world and the media puts it down so very hard.
Since Japan did the bombing in Pearl Harbor, many Americans believed that Japanese Americans could not be trusted. Japanese fought because there was “A Tremendous Hole” in the Constitution and they would not tolerate being treated as less than a citizen. By the end of the war in Europe, the soldiers in 442nd, consisting most of Japanese Americans, were told by President Truman “you fought for the free nations of the world…you fought not only the enemy, you fought prejudice-and you won” (Takaki 349). Yet discrimination still existed. African Americans found themselves being targeted by hate crimes and violence.
The message of the representation is that Americans is losing the war and wants out and it is clearly shown in the poster "I WANR OUT". This shows that it is accurate because I know from my own personal knowledge that the 1971 protest in America were getting bigger, more violent and serious for the government. However, representation 3 is not totally accurate because not all of America were against the war. I know this because there was a huge questionnaire on if people were against or for the war. 40% said they were for the war and 60% said against the war.
A terrorist threat/ attack and a nuclear threat are real attacks that still go on today in our country and our people are scared of. In my opinion both of them are alike. They make the government have to evaluate everything that is going on and it deters the economic growth in our community, on this causes the government to take advantage of their view of defense against an upcoming attack. A war and an attack such as 9/11 are two different types of attacks. And these are attacks that people will forever remember.
The families experience fear, especially the children and wives, when there are break-ins and scares of intruders coming to turn them into the Nazi’s. They experience despair when months pass without any progression and a continuous lack of food and other necessities, but never lost their hope and looked forward to the radio announcement advertising the position of their county against the Nazi party. Although the families were undergoing hard times, they kept their heads and courage up, even in times of great trouble. The diary of Anne Frank has taught an enormous mass of people great lessons about her life and life during hard times such as the holocaust. This diary is a primary source and excellent example of how living really was during this time for an average teenager.
However, the nation was shocked. Even Martin Luther King Jr, who disagreed with Malcolm X on many issues, sent this letter to Malcolm’s wife, “While we did not always see eye to eye on methods to solve the race problem, I always had a deep affection for Malcolm and felt that he had a great ability to put his finger on the existence and the root of the problem. He was an eloquent spokesman for his point of view and no one can honestly doubt that Malcolm had a great concern for the problems we face as a race.” The assassination was a great blow to the civil rights movement of the 60’s, but with the help of Martin Luther King, the great movement reached heights never seen by the black
I have to agree with this comment, only because it has been witnessed on a constant basis of fraud within the systems programs. But when Wallace asked “don’t you think, if you cut 700 billion in aid to the states, that some people are going to get hurt?” Romney stated “ by cutting welfare spending dramatically, I don’t think we hurt the poor. In the same way, I think cutting Medicaid spending by having it go to the states, run more efficiently with less fraud; I don’t think will hurt the people that depend on that program for their health care. There are many posters posted up of many participants convicted of welfare fraud; which included medical, food stamps, housing, childcare and aid. The sad part of this, is that the system has its flaws as well.
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
Weather we recognize it or not, conflict will always play an integral role in our lives, our relationships and society. Conflicts cause pain and suffering, but can also be attributed to many of humanities achievements. Conflicts in land, wealth, religion and political pride probably have the most impact on a national scale and although conflicts like these can often cause the innocent to suffer, its conflicts like these that can inspire a nation or even the world to change. I have never cared for the incoherent, prepubescent, babble of my peers in high school. High school is a fountain of wealth when it comes to drama, but I decided to sit out on the apparent life changing drama.
