Poverty, hunger, lack of education, and crime are diseases that plague the world. Whose job is it to end all of this? Apparently it is left to America to do this. The American government gives billions of dollars to these countries to hopefully try to end this, but it does not. These issues with our society, have not just developed. Since the beginning of civilization’s these issues have been a part of society, it is inevitable. There is one thing that can be done, focus on the people that…

Throughout its existence America has been called a country of Equality, Liberty, Rights for All, Democracy and of course Opportunity. In our infancy people of all origins flocked to America in hopes of obtaining these ideals stated in our declaration. Even today, many still hope to relocate in order to have their chance at a slice of the American dream. However, those siding with the Progressive movement of the early 20th century disagreed and thought that America still had plenty of room for…

“I have learned this, at least, from my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” This is a quote from Walden by Henry David Thoreau. I believe this can be applied to the American Dream. The American Dream is something that many strive after and set their goals based on this dream. It is the dream of freedom, opportunity and equality. However, some believe…

All countries have their differences, there is no way around it. Even with this fact, almost all countries can share a similarity or two. Any country will tell anyone and everyone that it cares for its citizens, this is what they would want the public to believe. Although the rights of men appear to be the main focus of two of the documents, the Declaration of Independence will rarely mention rights, and the other two documents give vague descriptions of rights. Some rights may be interpreted to…

Of those, 71 percent of illegal immigrants are households with children and received benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children in 2009 (Steven, 2011). For quite some time now, there has been a big debate over whether or not illegal…

When compared to his historical peers, James Madison was boring. George Washington was the face of America, the glorious leader of the revolution. Thomas Jefferson was cool, composed, and greatly respected across the colonies. Alexander Hamilton was a brash, abrasive veteran, fearless in any situation. Madison, on the other hand, was the shadow behind Washington and Jefferson, supporting them while they stood in the limelight. Madison was never the one to deliver great speeches, even if composed…

Racism in The United States Justice System The criminal justice system is racist. Depending upon your racist and now days’ religion you might feel the same way. African Americans, Latinos and Muslims are targeted and disciplined in a much more hostile way than white people.

The United State legal system and laws that was created and established to treat all men and women…
