...By Julia Rose To what extent should we embrace the ideological perspective reflected in the source as it relates to liberalism and citizenship ? ! To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Theodore Roosevelt ! ! ! ! Patriotism means to stand by and support your country. The source above is a quote by Theodore Roosevelt where he argues that patriotism does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official whether he is right or wrong. Roosevelt believes that it is patriotic to support the president insofar as he efficiently serves the country. When citizens disagree with the president, Roosevelt states that it is the citizens responsibility to express their thought and belief, so the president can efficiently serve the people. We should embrace the ideological perspective reflected by Theodore Roosevelt because a country requires active citizenship and political participation, such as voting, in order to prosper as a democratic country. Liberalism is a doctrine that stresses individual rights and freedoms, limited government, and respects human rationality and reason. The ideology expressed in the quotation from Roosevelt, embodies liberalism because it is in favour with individual rights and freedoms of citizens. Roosevelt supports political participation...

...America is a country that stands together. We as a country, are supposed to have each other’s backs and assist whenever possible. Unfortunately, that is what the some of the American society wants to believe we do, its not what we actually do. Civil rights is an issue that has been going on for many years and continues today. While some circumstances have gotten better, many still need change. For the longest time our society has displayed prejudice towards African Americans, discrimination against women, and judgment of homosexuality. The prejudice toward African Americans was a major issue back before I was born. African Americans we held back from participating in the same activities as people who were white. Some of these activities included...

...riots, rise of the KKK and segregation of the 1920's. Griffith was able to make such an influentially film by using noteworthy themes, distinct and believable messages and anachronistic cinematic techniques. The themes in "Birth of a Nation" concentrate on race, class, gender, and region, the most influential and important theme being that blacks are stupid, crazy men who only want one thing: white women. Conversely, whites are portrayed as the "the helpless white minority". Griffith shows a black court and legislature, both are shown as an "outrage". The black men are loud, disorderly and drunk. In the legislature their "big" vote overrides the decision that black men cannot marry white women. On the street the stupid and drunk blacks are shown voting in a disrespectful and uncaring way, and the reformed and educated white males are seen not being able to vote. Griffith exaggerates true facts about confederate soldiers not being able to participate in the government and courts of the south after the civil war. By doing this it seem as if the south is being taken over by savage blacks who are causing anarchy. The message that blacks cause anarchy and only want white women are played up even more throughout the film. The black soldiers are seen running through the streets terrorizing women and children and looting anything they can get their...

...Twelve Angry Men is about a jury who must decide the fate of an 18 year old boy who allegedly killed his father. The jury must determine a verdict of guilty beyond any reasonable doubt and not guilty. A guilty verdict would mean that the accused would receive the death penalty. After a day of deliberation and many votes, they came up with the verdict of not guilty. I believe they achieved their overall goal of coming up with a verdict they were all able to agree with. It seems there were some individual personal short term goals that were not met. One being that the one juror was not able to go to the baseball game. Another was that a juror was not able to take out the anger he had towards his son on the son accused of killing his father. There was a lot of nonverbal communication in the deliberating room. These ranged from angry glances, shifting in chairs, nervous sweating, and getting up and walking away from the table while someone was speaking. Angry glances across the table when votes change or confronted by a difference in opinions. Juror shifting in their chairs when asked certain questions communicate that they are becoming uncomfortable or starting to doubt. Also, one juror was asked if he ever did sweat and was answered no. Later in the movie, that man started sweating when asked about movies he watched a few days before and he could not remember. There were many communication barriers in the movie. The noise of the rain was loud and distracting to...

He is “accustomed to forcing his wishes and views upon others” through the use of strong words and force (1). While talking to juror #12, juror #3 decides to play tic-tac-toe during the trial and says “Your turn. We might as well pass the time” (13). The utter fact that juror #3 had the audacity to play a game during a life or death dependent court trial, is beyond disrespectful. It is more than apparent to the reader the juror #3 does not truly understand the importance of remaining focused and grasping all components of the case in order to make a well-educated decision....

...The Global Marketplace The Global Marketplace Abstract Today’s marketplace has never been faced with as many challenges and obstacles that must require much discipline and creativity in order to remain successful in all aspects of business. Sporting franchises are amongst the top ranking companies that have to remain on the cutting edge of global recognition in order to keep their competition at bay. Global Marketplace No matter what city, state or country you live in there is some type of sport, or name of an athlete that is bound to be well known throughout the entire world. The definition and legacy of a successful team was typically described simply by winning the ever so coveted championship within that particular arena. Now a days that single win has almost no meaning unless you can tie it to a string of championships over a particular period of time, the word used today is “dynasty”. The likes of the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and NSL just to name a few, are all now not only finding athletes from their own countries but they are also looking outside of their own high schools and colleges and are constantly recruiting athletes abroad. The front offices from these teams have a constant battle on trying to keep the upper hand on their team’s popularity and branding in order to keep the sales from declining. What cultural factors must U.S. sports franchises overcome to increase popularity abroad? There are many cultural factors that a sport franchise faces in order...

...From a political approach, Pap becomes drunk and exaggerates the disruptiveness of the government's ideals of race and blacks treatment as animals when actually he is acting like one himself,” It was ‘lection day, and I was just about to go out and vote myself if I warn’t to drunk to get there; but when they told me there was a state in this country where they’d led that nigger vote, I drawed out.” Pap points out his drunkenness is an belowment of a black man, and that his absence of voting states a revolt against the unjust government principles of discrimination. Twain’s use of irony suggest a humorous undertake through Pap’s animal like behaviour,”...never noticed where his old limber legs was taking him to, so he went head over heels...his speech was the hottest kind of language…”. This exemplifies Pap’s angernment towards society, but creates a tongue and cheek effect on the reader because Twain is comparing the ranks of blacks in equivalence to Pap’s foolish actions based on his arguments of voting. Comprehensively the utilization of irony creates...

...I believe that it is not mandatory to ask for permission before asking parents for their daughters’ hand in marriage. I do not think it should be the parents choice to pick who their daughter marries. Whether or not her parents do not like the husband to be, because it is up to the daughter. Either way, if she really loves him then it wouldn't matter if he asked her parents or not. Most parents would argue that it is rude or disrespectful if the daughter's boyfriend does not ask for permission, but that is only in some cultures. Some cultures prefer that he ask for her hand in marriage but, that is not everyone's opinion. If every man was supposed to ask the daughters’ hand and the parents say no then there would be very many unhappy women. If they went with what their parents had to say. It should not have to be up to her parents to tell her who to love and be with for the rest of her life. It is always good to have a steady job and to be out of school before you settle down and get married but, if you do not want to wait then it should be the daughter and boyfriends’ decision to make together. If your child is planning on getting married then it is their choice when to get married. It isn’t always about whether or not the parents approve of the boyfriend, it’s mostly about them wanting their child to be more mature and ready to take...

...conviction. Facts: The defendant, Gregory Lee Johnson, took part in a demonstration that took place at the Republican National Convention in Texas in 1984. During a time in this nonviolent demonstration Johnson was given an American flag which he set on fire. Nobody was injured while the flag was burning, but Johnson was convicted of destroying a respected object. Johnson appealed his conviction and the Courts of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas and lost. He then proceeded to take his case to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and his conviction was overturned. The court contended that Johnson could not be punished for his exercising his right to free speech (the First Amendment). In 1989, the Supreme Court took the case and with a 5-4 vote affirmed the Texas Court of...

...At first he professed no interest in the office, but by 1824 his supporters had gathered enough support to get him a nomination as well as a seat in the U.S. Senate. Jackson won the popular vote, but for the first time in history no candidate received a majority of electoral votes. The House of Representatives was deciding between the three leading candidates, which were Jackson, Adams and William H. Crawford. Critically ill after a stroke, Crawford was out, and Speaker of the House Henry Clay threw his support behind Adams, who later made Clay his secretary of state. Jackson’s supporters argued against what they called the “corrupt bargain” between Clay and Adams, and Jackson himself left from the Senate. Andrew Jackson won four years later in an election. But, Jackson and his wife were accused of adultery on the basis that Rachel had not been legally divorced from her first husband when she married Jackson. After his victory in 1828, Rachel died at the Hermitage; Jackson...

...flopped” when he refers to Romney’s history on immigration. As the editorial continues the author mentions how Romney changes his view on immigration just to position himself on the spotlight. The author even calls him a hypocrite, how can Romney get an endorsement by an individual that supports the building of a fence to keep illegal immigrants out, but on the other hand hires immigrants to tend his lawn. The author obviously feels Romney is a joke; full of double talk, having no solid stand as to what he really believes should be done with the immigration problem. Although in this article, only immigration is in discussion, the author allow us to know that he is not in favor of Romney, and Mr. Romney should not be counting on his vote. According to the author, “In this campaign, Mr. Romney has shed all good sense,” (“Romney’s Hard Line,” 2012) with this statement, the opinion the author has of Romney is very clear. After this statement, the author gives another example to reinforce his opinion, by telling us on the same day Romney was endorse by an anti-immigrant, (which he accepted), In South Florida his campaign was running an add opposing bilingual education; however, at the end of the add Romney says “Muchas Gracias”. The tone of the author in this editorial is one...

Obviously he loves the song “I know, you know” by The Friendly Indians. “I know you know, that I am not telling the truth, I know you know that they don’t have any proof.” He knows, we know that he isn’t telling the truth. But he got the last part wrong. We do have proof. He knows, we know that he just loves to grope women but won’t admit that what he does is wrong. He knows, we know that he didn’t lose the popular vote because of voter fraud intended to help his campaign opponent Hillary Clinton.

... and so it believed that it was in the right to claim that Johnson committed a crime against a sacred object. It argued that it intended to preserve the American flag as a symbol of national unity, thereby making it “venerated” or “sacred”; which is what their state law stated ("Talking Points - Texas v. Johnson."). In a 5-4 decision, the Court agreed with Johnson and said that burning the American flag was a form of symbolic speech and conduct protected by the First Amendment. The five justices that agreed with Johnson were Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Harry Blackmun, Thurgood Marshall and William J Brennan Jr. Justice Brennan wrote the majority opinion of the court, which was that the government could not discern what disrespectful actions against venerated objects are, and that the Texas state law is not consistent with the First Amendment. Justice Brennan wrote, “If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable” ("Texas v. Johnson."). The concurring opinion, which was written by Justice Kennedy, was similar. He said that “... this respondent...perhaps did not even possess the ability to comprehend how repellent his statements must be to the Republic itself. But whether or not he could appreciate the enormity of the offense he gave, the fact remains that his acts were speech, in both the technical and fundamental...
