    The most fascinating fact I learned today was about the Jefferson Memorial’s location in Washington, D.C. Even though this building’s placement looks very ordinary, there was a lot of controversy surrounding the placement of the memorial, and the historical connection with the other testaments to our founding fathers. Back in the 1900s, there was a commision to create a memorial honoring our 38th President Theodore Roosevelt’s contributions to American History. There was even a contest, and the architect John Russell Pope’s design was chosen for the memorial.…

    I am applying for Farmville Education program because I think this is a wonderful opportunity to learn about secularism. I believe it is important to learn about racial prejudices that were commonplace in american society. I understand these prejudices were wrong but that they did shape American culture and society throughout the course of our nation's history. I think it is important to learn about these racial prejudices especially today, when our own president is publicly slandering specific ethnic groups and to learn by example a way to reasonably protest in a public manner and to develop a better sense of moral…

Throughout the Address, as he announces that he does not seek a third term of presidency, Washington also conveys his desires for the future of the country. He expresses the significance of unity, religion, and education to best benefit the wellbeing of the nation…

    E.D. Hirsch, an 84 year old retired professor from Virginia expressed that children with a poor background of learning struggled to comprehend basic knowledge of any book they had read. Due to the realization that children were missing an important part in their education, he decided to write a book called Cultural Literacy in which he argued that it is essential first for American children to gain “core knowledge” so they can learn further in their studies. To achieve this, Hirsch expressed some of his theories that can help children understand better of what they are reading; such theory of value, knowledge and human nature. In theory of value, Hirsch indicates that it is important for children to understand the basic principles of constitutional government, major…
