The Dream Sea Imagine a sea where the sharks are the leaders. They boss in almost everything, however, to limit their powers, there are also other two groups of leaders: the whales, which judge all fishes' and sharks´ acts as right, wrong, fair or unfair, and the turtles, which are the wisest; they are responsible for determining the ideals of every habitant of the ocean.

Because of it, this region was named the "Dream Sea". For Max, a grown up carp who lived there, all this "dream thing" was an illusion …show more content…
However, they did exactly the opposite. They ruled for their own welfare, and this provoked everyone who had knowledge enough to be aware about it. They were corrupt, did not care for the neediest, and to the misfortune of the animals, were very smart. When they took over, no one could face The Whites using the constitution for its favor, because almost no one knew of it as much as them. However, there was a carp in the middle of the ocean who after a lot of hard work and time knew as much as its leaders, and his name was …show more content…
Those, created a group which fought for Max's political inclusion, and after a few months from its creation, their objective was achieved: in the next presidential election, Max would be the first ever carp to candidate itself against other groups of sharks. The elections took place, and in the debates, Max heard from its opponents that they could not win, since he was different, smaller, and less powerful than the other sharks. However, he proved the opposite: that intelligence and hard work could beat size and power. Max won the votes from fishes and the majority, and consequently, was elected as the first fish among the sharks to lead the Dream

    Imagine a world where there weren’t consequences to the decisions that have been made regarding the “discovery” of the Americas and the unethical treatment made towards the Native Americans. Would the indigenous people have more rights? Would they be more successful as a nation now without the involvement of the white man? Surely the answer would be yes, however it is too late to ask ourselves questions like that. This essay will look at two court cases described in Walter Echo-Hawk’s book, In the Courts of the Conqueror, a book that details ten of the most negatively impactful court cases in Unites States history regarding the treatment of Native Americans and how they are still being impacted to this very day by the rulings of those cases.…

Morgan also talks about how Jefferson wasn’t the only person to push Westward Expansion to what it is today; sure some politicians and others like Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Sam Houston all contributed to the push for Westward Expansion. Jackson’s push to Westward Expansion was on the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was Jackson’s Indian removal policy to push the Cherokee nation east of the Mississippi River to present day Oklahoma. James K.

    Between the years 1750 and 1865 the philosophy of Republicanism and virtue changed. Republicanism was the idea of being ruled by people with “virtue”. In the early years of America’s independence people such as John Hancock believed only rich white men that owned property had virtue. They were the only ones allowed to hold office and vote. The idea of “virtue” had changed dramatically after the Civil War in 1865.…

    Discussion 1 The turn of the century in 1900’s, most remaining Native Americans had been forced, to leave their ancestral lands; it was truly a time of cultural assimilation (Assimilation through Education). Some chose to live on the reservations that were created by the U.S. government starting in the 1890s, while others spent their lives hiding from whites whom they feared would kill or capture them. Native Americans world as they new it naturally died out, from progression (Assimilation through Education), they needed to become a part of white society. There Indian language, religion, and art, would become something from the past to be studied or viewed in a museum, but would not be the products of living cultures.…

This paper will address three reasons why I would vote to remove a Confederate monument in my town’s museum.…

    Hyeon Chung 10/24/17 SSCI 350 Personal Analysis of “In the White Man’s Image” The film “In the White Man’s Image” illustrates how white Americans wanted to civilize Native Americans. Anglo Americans, settlers who colonized United States, encroached on the land and culture of Native Americans. At that time, any hostile or violent behavior toward Whites’ intention was punished severely. Moreover, Whites believed that Native Americans needed to conform to the white way of civilization in order to live in America and thought that the way of life of Native Americans as immoral.…

    In his extensive work, “White Ignorance” the Caribbean born social philosopher Charles W. Mills postulates a political theory oppositional to Classical American Academia which cites race, in particular the dominant white race, as the dynamic force behind the ignorance which plagues the gap between multiracial equality. Mills elucidates his argument through a platform of laws from which any individual case may or may not be reputed as resulting from white ignorance. While all races to some degree exhibit a natural tendency judge others customs based on criterion that glorifies their own ways, otherwise known as Ethnocentrism, it is the white man’s variant which has laid the framework for the modern condition of all peoples on Earth. The author…

    Freedom is a hard word to define because freedom means different things to different people. To some people, freedom is to be completely self-governed; to others it may mean freedom to have control of others. The founding fathers established their interpretation of freedom over 200 years ago in the Constitution. Since then, countless changes have been made in the definition as well as who had rights to these privileges. In my opinion, when a small population has more privileges than others, there tends to be a loss of freedom for the common people.…

    The fish and its life, which is consistently mentioned throughout the story, is a representation of the family’s unity. The narrator first mentions the fish in a flashback at around the same time that she is reflecting back on her memories of her father and their daily routine. The father is the one who brings in the live fish and dumps it in the sink. This is notable because at this point in the narrative, the family is still seen as a cohesive unit and this parallels with how the fish is still alive. The next point in the narrative where the fish is mentioned is right after certain problems are shown to plague the family, such as the obvious language barrier that separates the parents from their children and the problem of the father and the brother’s conflicting attitudes towards the son’s unwillingness to keep hold of his Malaysian heritage.…

    Paper #1: Chapters 1-3 of Voices of Freedom Looking back at the whole occurrence of the discovery of the New World it becomes evident the many hardships that the colonial settlers caused which justifies the egocentric intentions of the many Europeans. It seems that even though the settlers were fleeing from a country that forced views among themselves or caused unjust situations; the colonists were precisely acting on the foreign population, who they viewed as “lesser”, similarly to that of their homelands. Although at the time the occurrence was not obvious, looking at it from today’s standpoint, it is quit ironic. On more than one instance the settlers treated distinctive groups with an inhumane disrespect with no regard to their well-being.…

    Literacy played a huge role in the life of Frederick Douglass. Being literate was a blessing as well as a curse. In the 1800’s it was extremely unusual for a person of color to be literate, and it was even more uncommon was for a slave to be literate. Keeping the slaves illiterate was done so on purpose. Knowledge was power and the white slave owners did not want to relinquish power of any kind.…
