I am proud to say with full intent and declaration that I am that boy who overcame. That flower who blossomed from a bed of concrete and today I stand before my peers as a role model, but most importantly a self-reliant man. Although suffrage is not the most imperative step into adulthood, suffrage will portray my will to cease corruption in politics, my pride in my country, and my desire to be a presidential candidate one day.

    I am writing to you on the basis of your new policy of “Stopping the boats”. I believe that it is highly unethical that one should restrict the access of another human being, who is displaced by means of war or poverty into the Australian border. The concerns I am raising are thematically paralleled in the Australian National Anthem “ For all who’ve come across the seas we’ve boundless plains to share”. Why must this policy dictate entry access to our nation if it is indicatively stated that we have “Boundless place to share”?…

    If the Newseum is torn down, the first amendment will not have a place to be celebrated just for itself, so there will be no place to celebrate the first American Constitutional freedom. President Trump is pressuring Congress into passing a bill that will start a project to make room for new monuments. The project will consist of tearing down monuments that the government feels are unnecessary. The project will ruin DC and the American spirit. If the bill does pass, the Newseum should definitely not be torn down since it is a reminder of what America is, it will have horrible economic effects on the country, and tearing it down will diminish the American spirit.…

    Today’s unpredictable and often toxic culture in American politics would represent major shortcomings in the eyes of Plato and Aristotle, who championed wisdom, moderation, and courage as keys to forming functional societies. Serious governmental flaws entrenched within the United States’ political system oppose Plato’s vision for a just society. Speaking of Plato’s use of dialectics to define wisdom, Political Thinking, Political Theory, and Civil Society explains, “Socrates distinguished between knowledge possessed by particular craftsmen and the kind of knowledge needed to govern a state”. Our current president, Donald Trump, ran a campaign based on his successful career as a businessman.…
