    As the Cold War waging between the Soviet Union and the United States heightened, the perceived threat posed by the Communists became known as the Red Scare. The spread of Communism and the possibility of an international nuclear war invaded the minds of Americans with a sense of constant threat.

To protect the American culture and values, the nation adopted a nationalistic ambience that was imposed on all the people living in the United States; using social media and other methods of propaganda, the government was able to impose their ideologies onto their citizens.

    In his play Twelve Angry Men, Reginald Rose brings us back in time to 1957, to a jury room of a New York Court of Law where one man, Juror #8, confronts the rest of the jury to look at a homicide case without prejudice, and ultimately convinces Juror #2, a very soft-spoken man who at first had little say in the deliberation. Throughout the play, several jurors give convincing arguments that make one think about whether the boy is “guilty” or “not guilty.” Ultimately, one is convinced by ethos, logos, and pathos. We can see ethos, logos, and pathos having an effect on Juror #2 as he begins as a humble man and changes into someone brave at the end. Although all three modes play a part in convincing Juror #2, pathos is the most influential because…

    Imagine living in a fantasy world where everything is pitch perfect the way you wanted to be, but then, you wake up to the harsh reality to feel trapped and animated on the inside. This is how I first view my life story for the last three years. At first, I never thought this class would help me realize who I am nor what I have to value until eight weeks ago. To start off, I have looked at my life in a new light and sees how I should understand others before I judge them, as well as, to understand the importance of morals and values. Everyone has their own values and morals that they believe in to determine what is right and wrong in life, so have I.

    Children all over the world are engaged in a great number of activities classifiable as work. The activities vary from relatively harmless activities like helping parents in their domestic chores, to morally and physically exploiting ones like soldiering and prostitution. If we leave out the former, we are left with what are generally called "economic" activities. Of these economic activities, less than 4 percent of all working children, are estimated to be engaged in what ILO (International Labour Organisation) defines as the "unconditional" worst forms of child labour. The absolute number of children estimated to be engaged in the latter is, however, a stunning 8.4 million.…
