Celebrate!

I would like to thanks everyone for coming to help celebrate this major accomplishment in my life. I am truly blessed today to be still alive and well at the big age of 50. It has been a long hauling, fun, and adventurous first half of life. Winning all those super bowl rings and and world series trophies was not that easy. I had to put in a lot of hard work to get where I am today. A lot of training was put into the man you see here today. Those early morning workout practices, the two a days,…

While reading information about Columbus Day and other days related to it, I learned many new facts that I did not know before. Personally, I would rather celebrate Indigenous People’s Day because Columbus did some bad things. In school, I never learned about all of the injustices committed by Columbus and other explorers of that age because they were only portrayed as heroes. I found that the Washington Post and history.com were the most reliable sources because they were an established…

discovered North America about 500 years before Columbus did. This all leads up to the question: Why celebrate a holiday that has a false meaning? The purpose of Columbus Day was to celebrate Columbus’s discovery of the Americas.

In addition, the fact cannot be ignored that Columbus’ original…

Columbus Day is a national holiday celebrating the day Christopher Columbus “discovered” America. There has been a big controversy on if America should still celebrate Columbus day. I think that we should not celebrate Columbus day. This holiday should be abolished because he took false credit, he made other people do his work for him, and he treated the Natives poorly. Christopher Columbus took false credit for things he did and should not be getting praised. Due to the fact that the Natives…

to curious sailors to explore the uncharted land and set up their own colonies. They exposed their principles, culture and traditions in the New World, helping to shape the fortune of the Americas. Of course, it is not only the United States that celebrate the event, but neighboring countries like those in South America and Spain, who are mainly responsible for the colonization. Although Columbus may have done considerable things that were rather cruel, his actions would successfully connect…

to Europe, Columbus and his crew pillaged and plundered the entire West Indies; thinking the whole time that they were, in fact, in India. The Arakawa natives were very nice; they gave the sailors food and spice. The most obvious reason to not celebrate Columbus Day is that Columbus did not discover America any more than a person who finds a hip new restaurant is “discovering” it. The area had been settled for tens of thousands of years and other Europeans — think Leif Erikson and Amerigo…

Why should we celebrate Columbus Day? Think about it this way. How many people actually do take the time to celebrate Columbus Day? As stated by an analysis by Vox, only fifteen percent of private workers take the day off. Only twenty-two states recognize Columbus Day as an actual holiday, which is nearly half of the country. Think about it, only half the country celebrating something a holiday. We don’t consider the Super Bowl a holiday do we? No, we shouldn’t celebrate anything if…

The first form of Halloween was believed to originate 2,000 years ago from the Celts, who were located in what is today, Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France.
