...Dear Mr. President, Civic participation is very important because every citizen (or at least the majority of them) need to engage in the public sphere, including political processes. Media participates often because it lets the public know what’s going on in society. Political participation is also important because if people don’t vote, there wouldn’t be a politically balanced system. No one would be in charge, and people would be in havoc. There was one person that influenced the political participation and that is Susan B. Anthony. Susan contributed towards the right to vote. She drafted the 19th Amendment which clearly states “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex”. The amendment made a huge impact because before the Amendment was ratified, women weren’t allowed to vote. Susan felt as if womn deserved to vote no matter what sex they were. There were many womans rights activists that supported the womens rights to vote but Susan was the only one that expressed her feelings to the public and made a difference. She wanted fairness between bth sexes. Men had more advantages than women in their society at the time. This motivated her to stand up and do whats right for the future of woman, and that woman deserve the same rights as men. Susan should have her own holiday because she honestly deserves it. She changed the lives of every woman ever. She allowed every U.S...

...Dear Mr. President, I am a photographer who’s observed many disturbing sights and am showing it to you so that you can see the perils that has befallen your country, Mr. President. I had the opportunity to visit many states where the Great Depression has hit the most, and was shocked to find how bad the lives of people were. In Illinois, there was a young boy whose dad didn’t have a job so they were unable to pay their rent for months. His brother couldn’t afford a car to go to school, so he hasn’t attended for 2 weeks, and the boy’s sister can’t seem to find work either. I observed these farmers in North Dakota that were homeless, beaten down by the rain and shivering because they didn’t have anything since the Dust Bowl wiped out all their crops and the Depression struck. They begged for anything I could give to help them. It was heartbreaking and sad. I took a picture of a 19-year old girl from New Jersey, and let me tell you Mr. President, she looks so old for her age. Her face is haggard and stretched. The effects of the Depression have really messed up our kids. The girl explained that she and her family just lost their house, and she needs money for her graduation. She also requested her glasses to be changed since her eyesight is very poor. I have taken time to think of some ways that could be of benefit to you and the people in figure out how to move past this terrible time. First off, there could be a lottery every week for the people in every state. Whoever wins gets...

...Dear Mr. President, In this grate country we call America, we have the type of freedom that no other country has ever accomplished before us. Where all citizens regardless of race, religion, or ethnic origins has the right to life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Where anyone can stand up for what he or she believe in and be a part of a nation that fully supports and encourages people to fight for what is right. I would like everyone to take a moment of their time and remember that this gift, that we often take for granted, did not come without a price; and no one deserves our respect and thanks more than our first president George Washington. As one of the founding fathers he risked his blood, treasure and sacred honor to create the greatest nation known to man. I know that we already have president day, which was originally established in recognition of President George Washington, but perhaps we need a “Constitution Day” that focuses on George Washington and the other founding fathers and their work. George Washington was already a retired soldier who was no stranger to war, participating in the French and Indian war (1754-1763). Problems with Brittan started to spark conflict with the colonies. Britain deeply in debt after the French and Indian War demanded more revenue from the colonies (americanhistory.about.com). After a series of acts followed that restricted the colonies rights. In 1774 George Washington led a meeting to discuss growing problems with the...

...Dear Mr. Wiesel, I just finished reading your book Night. I read it in my English class. I found your story hard to read because of all that you and your family went through. It really made me think about what I would have done if I were in your situation. I’m not sure I could have been as strong as you. I don’t think I could relate anything in my life to that terrible time in yours. So in this letter I will be thanking you for you sacrifices in order to tell your story. When I was reading your book Night I couldn’t help but to think of my own family. It truly broke my heart when you said that was the last time you saw your mother and Tzipora forever. I couldn’t imagine having to go through that with my own family. But if I had to I would try to stay strong like you. I learned a lot more about the holocaust when I read your book. I learned that Hitler didn’t directly control each camp. Your experience has taught me so much. It has taught me to stay strong when I feel weak. A question I would like to ask you, Mr. Wiesel, is do you still have the tattoo the Nazi’s gave you? Did you get it removed? Personally I would keep it to remind me everyday that if I could survive the holocaust I could survive anything and thrive. Your story hit me on a personal level. I hate racism or anything of that nature. When I read this I got mad at Hitler. Mad at the entire Nazi party. Mad at other countries with the means to stop this massacre and didn’t. Is it okay to be mad Mr. Wiesel? You...

...Dear Mr. President, Civic and political participation we can say that is the most important personal law for you to work with the government. We all have to follow the rules that the president and the entire government put as a U.S. laws but we all want democracy, we have to make our voice heard to see things happen the way we want to manage the situation, we have many different ways of doing it, we can do it on the internet, blogs, social media, newspaper or even walk to political institution reasonable. Civic participation is important because the people who lived in U.S. have the most power to change laws or even create them, the people in the United States have been raised in a democracy; that is when citizens have the loud voice to make things happen. If we don’t participate sometimes the government can change their rights. Civilians is the better way and the most powerful way to change anything on the government because the government have laws and rules for us to follow them and if we don’t like something only us can change it , for example Venezuela it was a country that the most power was from people who live in the territory including citizens and illegals but now the new president persuade the civilians to change laws that now it makes the country manage for the anarchy and no matter what the civilians do, only the government can change the laws. Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York on October 11, 1884. The niece of Theodore Roosevelt and wife of franklin D. Roosevelt...

...Dear Mrs Hopkins, I have read your article and I am sorry but I strongly disagree with what you are stating. I think it is appalling that you think like that, it’s a very unfair way to judge children as they didn’t choose their name, their parents did. Preventing your children from enjoying their childhood because of another child’s name is shameful. Children have the right to interact with other children regardless of their background and it is through interaction with a diverse range of abilities yours will develop into well rounded individuals. I think it’s rather hypocritical of you to say you don’t like ‘geographical names’ considering you have called your daughter India? On a similar note, you said you don’t like seasonal names yet you have called your child Poppy whilst poppy is a flower rather than a season, it is a name taken for a similar desire to suggest something about your child’s nature. You have contradicted yourself without even knowing it which proves you are a hypocrite. Do you really think a child should suffer your judgement because of their name chosen by their parents? Surely you should be judging the parent not the child. As a matter of fact you shouldn’t be judging anybody! You think that children should only be friends with those who will ensure they’re an academic inspiration. ‘Children who chose less successful friends ended up not doing as well.’ This is a shallow approach, you only appear to want your children to associate with snobs...

...To: Bob Broline From: Kimberly Smith Date: December 6, 2013 Subject: After carefully reviewing the problems you are having with your business organization. I have come to the conclusion that that the best option for you and your company is for you to form your company into a Limited Liability Company. I am confident that after I share with you the reason for this change. You will also agree with me that a limited liability will be a good option for both you and your business. Mr.Broline, you are currently operating your business, Broline Woodworks, as a Sole proprietorship. I have talked about that you have liked the advantages of being a sole proprietor because you have the control over the business, all the profits are yours alone, and you only have to file a personal income tax. These advantages are all good parts of sole proprietorship. The Problem for you is the disadvantages of sole proprietorship, which your biggest concerns is personal liability. As a sole proprietor you are personally responsible for all liabilities. This means any judgments against your business; creditors can go after your personal assets. For these reasons I believe you should you and your business would be best severed if you formed into a Limited liability company. The most important reason you may want to consider a limited liability company is that it will protect your personal assets from creditors and legal judgments. Another aspect of a limited liability company is you will have...

...Dear Ms Corbett, I note that your ethos says 'Granton pupils are encouraged to be thoughtful and responsible young people with high self-esteem and with the motivation, skills and knowledge to succeed in life.' I believe that I will be able to help these young people by being at the same level as them so that I can understand them and find ways of encouraging them to have high self–esteem and believe in themselves that they will succeed in education. I will be able to include this in any work that I undertake with the young pupils that attend your school, particularly as I have the ability to listen and empower people. Allowing young people to get their voices heard is a great tool in raising their confidence. I believe that I have the ability to make changes in society by using personal experiences and my educational knowledge to relate to those who I work with. I am aware in order to have a successful career within the health & social care sector I need to build my skills within a professional setting and Granton is the right profession because of how diverse it is. This is vital within health and social care as there are people from different ethnic backgrounds and culture, therefore it is really important for me to always be in an environment where diversity is valued and promoted. Working with Granton will enable me to develop skills that will benefit me in my career, as well as passing my course. This experience will continue to make me more passionate in making...

...English Speech ‘Dear Mr President’ – P!NK The song Dear Mr President by Pink was written on Martin Luther King Day in 2005 and released in 2006. This song is described as an open letter to the President of the United States at the time, George W Bush. Pink’s distinctive voice addresses criticism to him and the policies of his administration. She describes it as one of the most important things she has written. The purpose of Pink’s song is to touch on emotional social issues such as the No Child Left Behind Act, the gay rights issues, the war in Iraq and the lack of empathy towards working middle class citizens. This song is directed at George Bush himself but also catches the attention of a wide audience such as American citizens and individuals who have listened to the song as the issues addressed in the song happen all over the world. The song starts with the line ‘Dear Mr President, Come and take a walk with me, let’s pretend we’re just to people and you’re not better then me’ by saying this Pink is trying to close the social gap between the president and everyday people while voicing her opinions to him and inviting him to listen. The lyrics to ‘Dear Mr President’ are bold statements represented by using continuous rhetorical questions as well as metaphors and the use of first person. Pink uses questions such as “What kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay” referring to his opinions on same sex marriage and his push for the Marriage Protection...

...Essay The Manipulation of Anne by Mrs. Smith On the surface Mrs. Smith appears to be the shining light that brings truth and a sense of justice to Persuasion after she reveals the truth about Mr. Elliot to Anne. However, if one were to dig deeper into the dialogue and analyze the language and the syntax between Mrs. Smith and Anne on page one hundred and sixty-six, one can see Mrs. Smith isn’t the savior that she would appear to be on the surface. Mrs. Smith is instead this person who is manipulative and conniving by using Anne’s admiration towards her as a way to then persuade Anne to do as she wishes which ultimately results in Mrs. Smith regaining some of her lost fortune through Anne and Captain Wentworth. This is significant because the narrative voice in Persuasion presents the argument that persuasion as a force upon others can be both a good and bad thing depending on the true intentions of the one persuading. Mrs. Smith and Anne have had a long-standing relationship that was formed several years ago when Mrs. Smith had helped Anne overcome the loss of her mother while away at school. Ever since then, Anne had deeply admired Mrs. Smith for what she did and the character she had shown. From the beginning of the dialogue between Mrs. Smith and Anne, Mrs. Smith is already trying to use Anne’s admiration towards herself for her own motives. When Mrs. Smith says, “My dear,” she is implying that Anne is someone whom she cares for. Mrs. Smith uses the word “My” to give this...
