There may be "peace" just because people fear disobeying the tyrant or the power, but that does not ensure that there is actual peace and happiness in the everyday lives of the citizens. Tyranny cannot be justified if it…

Over the duration of my senior summer I was allowed to experience many wonders as I transitioned out of one segment of my life to a new one; however, possibly to greatest experience out of the entire time period of my summer was my family's trip to six flags. We began planning for the trip months in advance saving money, gathering supplies, and making reservations. We toiled through this segment of planing making sure that all of the details of the trip would be perfect. Once all of our details…
