Later, Reagan says, “Girls termed "sexually active” -- and that has replaced the word “promiscuous”-- are given help in order to prevent illegitimate births or abortion.” (paragraph 16) Because Reagan is throwing in a thought of his, he is using the device of Parenthesis. Parenthesis is a word, clause, or sentence inserted as an explanation or afterthought into a passage that is grammatically complete without it, in writing usually marked off by curved brackets, dashes, or commas. He does this by simply throwing in a short phrase in the middle of his sentence to say that, as a country, we don’t look at sex as something moral.…
“We honor our past because it shapes our future,” this is one of the many quotes that Otterbein University holds dearly. Otterbein University holds this value greatly. Otterbein gives equality to all students, faculty, and others since 1847. Before any women’s rights and the abolishment of slavery, Otterbein University allowed people of color and women to receive a fair and equal education. Otterbein University is a mid-sized college located in Westerville, Ohio.…
I’m not quite understanding of your comment. Are you saying that former Presidents Reagan and Clinton were as vocal against George Dukakis and George W. Bush as Obama is now being against Donald Trump and that there was justification in ’88 and ’00? I am fairly clear on the aforementioned campaigns and Ronald Reagan stayed out of the ’88 election much to the dismay of George Bush. And Bill Clinton, much to his credit, didn’t get involved with disparaging remarks about George W. Bush. What I object to is for a sitting President to be as negatively verbal as Obama and staff.…
Congressional gridlock occurs when the president and Congress fail to pass laws that solve the people’s most controversial issues. A major cause of this is division amongst political parties. Polarized politics also further complicate the process of coming to an agreement on the tough issues. Gridlock would decrease if the parties focused more on resolving these issues instead of opposing each other. A united government means that legislation can be agreed on to pass laws that will address some of our nation’s major issues.…
Technology is changing our lives and whether we like it or not we find ourselves having to go along with it. Writers, readers, composers, researchers and so on need to find a way to adapt to the change that comes with what we call “The Technology Era”. As always there will be two sides to any change; the one that will agree with it and open their arms to it, and a second that will forever talk about how great times used to be when things were done the only way they know to do things because they do not like change or cannot adapt to new. Nicholas Carr (2008) states “I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading.…
to prove it false. The republicans main argument is , if guns are taken away from the legal owners, criminals will be the only ones with guns. The author links it back to his question from earlier, if it were to be reversed and guns were never legal, then no one would have guns except the military. The author compares the United States gun restrictions to other countries.…
The republicans wanted to keep the national government small while insisting on supporting the state right and a strict interpretation of the constitution instead of a strong central government. As well as leaving most of the power to the states and to the people. Believing that the people are responsible enough to make good decisions concerning their country. The federalist primary goal was to maintain order and structure by favoring a strong national government and the people’s right.…

When I first arrived at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I expected higher education to be a bastion for peoples to freely express themselves, providing the ability for both students and faculty to openly interact and engage with their peers regarding a multitude of subjects. Yet this feeling dramatically changed with time. During my sophomore year, I saw the campus’ College Republicans falsely label the school as anti-free expression due to a funding dispute between the group and student government. Instead of debating the value of bringing in various perspectives to campus, the conversation focused around showcasing a conservative perspective in an arena the College Republicans found as threatening.…
Schlafly for the next ten years would echo much of what Eleanor Roosevelt and liberal detractors of the ERA stated and expand on their arguments infusing her brand of Christian Republicanism into her arguments. Quoting from Schlafly whose article was included in Donald Critchlow’s Debating the American Conservative Movement: “Our Judeo-Christian civilization has developed the law and custom that, since women must bear the physical consequences of the sex act, men must be required to bear the other consequences and pay in other ways.” Schlafly contended that the ERA would “force women to work outside the home, abolish alimony and child support, and make women subject to the military draft.”…
If people don’t know who is running the country, then I think that’s a sign that they just don’t care. They don’t care about the decisions the person is making as long as they don’t have any part in it. But I think canadians should…
To what extent is the Canadian Collective Consciousness different than that of the American Collective Consciousness? Canadians and Americans share a very similars set of beliefs and values, however their are key differences which separate the “American Dream” from the “Canadian Dream”. These key differences often revolve around the importance of human life; to Americans life is important, however if someone else 's life gets in their way it is no longer of value. This is evident due to the large amount of support that Donald Trump, hopeful Republican Leader, has been getting from American all across the United States of America. Donald Trump is currently sitting in a comfortable, ninety-three delegate, lead over the rest of the Republican…
Anslinger began a dishonest campaign against cannabis that would last over the next eighty years. Conservatives accepted his false claims and continued to spread propaganda that highlighted the dangers of marijuana use and its users. However, although some conservatives may have been motivated by greed and racism, others believed that they were doing the right thing according to their system of moral beliefs. In Moral Politics, George Lakoff explores “two different models of ideal family life [that] motivates corresponding sets of metaphorical priorities, each of which constitutes a distinct moral system” (65).…
