The struggle for Women’s suffrage one such prolonged that contained numerous acts of civil disobedience. The fight to gain voting…

Emphasis on Human Trafficking in the US Human trafficking is often the term used when talking about modern day slavery, the third largest global criminal enterprise (Tully,1). Around the word there are over 20 million people being trafficked, with the average age being 13.

Sweatshop labour remains to this day a driving force of poverty, especially in developing or ‘Third…

In my opinion I believe certain actions which are currently deemed right and wrong are formed by the rules of our ancestors and the society we live in. Morality is therefore decided by the standards of society. A major example within the film industry is the film trilogy including: The Purge, The Purge: Anarchy, and The Purge: Election Year. In these film, once a year for twelve hours all crime is legal including murder, assault, stealing, and selling drugs. Any and all crime that would be…

racial profiling by allowing police to detain those they suspect are undocumented, based on the color of their skin”(Ruiz). This unjust law overthrows undocumented immigrants. Worst part, it marks children as well. The law demands for the school district to question kids and their parents for documentations and then report straight to immigration offices. All just law does is harass and terrorize immigrants out of the state. This is extremely similar to the period of segregation of African…

This is just another way for local goverments to abuse their power.Not only would they write tickets and fines, but they would be invading our privacy.
