Cars have always had a huge impact on Americans and their lives. Americans have the need for speed, the beauty, and the muscle for types of cars. Cars are more than just transportation.

In his article “Why Has America Stopped Winning Wars,” Dominic Tierney incorrectly asserts that the United States is in a period of unwinnable wars and that, as such, the United States should plan for battlefield failure and “losing the right way.”1 He uses multiple fallacies to build his argument, including appeals to emotion, appeals to questionable authority, explaining by naming, and searching for a perfect solution.

grasps. While Hughes’ words speak more literally to racial inequality in general in the United States, his words speak to the inequality that exists in the current American Dream. Specifically, he believes that the American Dream is not actually available to anyone but Caucasians, but also that the Dream has only been made available to the white man because of the toils of everyone else. In addition, Hughes states that society has this great, romanticized idea of the American Dream, but it is…

I am from a different country, so I am from a very different culture. I saw different things and my life was influenced by different factors than other kids from the United States. I am from the capital city, Prague, and I am from economically stable family. I believe that every person is unique and there is no person same as other and we have to respect that.
