Declaration of Sentiments

The infamous Doctor Jack Kevorkian once said, “The patient decides when it’s best to go.” (Foley). Dr. Kevorkian is memorable for his stance and his illegal assistance of suicide with more than 130 terminally ill persons (McLellan). I find that that this quote best emulates the right side of the argument I intend to write about today. The general population is full of debate upon the subject of assisted suicide and is always trying to argue whether it is morally right to help administer…

In 1787, a convention was held for an infant nation in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Within the walls of this convention, 55 delegates changed the course of human history. These men tediously molded a document that would guide a newborn United States into its current future as global superpower two centuries later. After the United States Constitution was crafted, each of the delegates returned to their designated states where a vote was held to determine if this new, unfamiliar…

these scenarios in which the states are unable to secure human rights, liberal pluralists argue non-governmental organizations should be encouraged and expected to replace the government’s responsibility to achieve justice.

How the press is just a tool used to feed us what the government needs us to be fed, and to hide all the things that the government thinks we don’t need to know. A lot of people would argue that our government is one of the best in the world but the recent shutdown might…

Women had roles in society that were far more inferior to that of the male population. The Woodcut of a Patriot Woman (Document A) shows that women had an increasingly larger role in the society. Before the Revolution, women were the “behind the scenes” member of the family, but with the dawn of the revolution at hand, women stepped up to more prominent and political roles in their family. In particular, women like Abigail Adams and Lucy Knox were the driving force for women’s rights progression…
