This is the question that many Vietnamese, especially the immigrants and the refugees in America, have been wondering: is Communism/ Socialism the right path for Vietnam? Not many Vietnamese dare to ask this question in public due to the oppression of the Communist Party. Nevertheless, I was given the opportunity to express my contempt towards the Party and my own country publicly. It all began in my junior year. My English teacher gave our class a project before the final exam: with a partner,…

Many speak of these two wars, Vietnam War and Afghan-Iraq War, to be the same war just fought in different times. They have a few differences but also many similarities when it comes to the forefront. To me the article “Taliban: US Role in Afghanistan Similar to Vietnam War” printed by Arabia 2000 presents appalling use of history and how these wars are connected.

police officers helping him, telling us yet again, that he thinks he is better than everyone else. Lee uses this scene, and the film as a whole to create an art form to forcefully communicate and display the racism and hate occurring in life. Do the Right Thing is a street-smart movie that doesn’t depend on one hero or villain to determine the plot, but uses small racial incidents that eventually explode into violence. This particular scene helps carry the plot of the movie, and helps…

This past Saturday morning, I motivated my little brother Vincent, my little sisters Tess and Alex and my cousin Olivia to volunteer at a local food and clothing distribution center in Chula Vista, Turning the Heart Center. Vincent is thirteen years old, Tess is nine, Alex is twenty and Olivia is twenty-three. I invited them all to spend the night at my house the night before. We laughed, had dinner and spoke about life in general. I went on to tell them how thankful I was for all God has…
