Flag desecration

Standing Up Who knew you could stand up for what you believe in by sitting down? Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, was doing exactly that when he sat down during the playing of the national anthem before a pro-football game; I agree and approve of what he did. He was protesting the different treatment of colored people and also the cops. After reading the article, ¨In the `Land of the Free,` Are You Free to Sit Out the National Anthem?¨ by Jaweed Kaleem, I learned…

The American flag is a very special symbol to me. Soldiers have put their life on the line to earn the right to have our flag. The flag is so special to us that every morning we say a pledge to it. Recently people have not been very respectful to the flag. They have been setting it on fire and walking on it which is very disrespectful. The American flag has fifty stars and thirteen red and white stripes. The thirteen stripes stand for the thirteen colonies that we originally settled in. the…

What the American Flag means to me The American flag has been a great symbol for two hundred years and it still continues to inspire Americans today. I have always looked at the flag and been inspired by the determination and hardwork it took to make the flag an iconic symbol. It makes me think about what our founding fathers had to do and how hard they had to fight to earn that flag. To me the flag means so much more then what most people would say. If ypu ask someone what this question most…

The Homeless Patriot American citizens pledge to their flag, display their flag, and honor their flag, but an astonishing image demonstrates the use of the Star Spangled Banner as a way to keep warm overnight. Spencer Platt, an award- winning American photojournalist, captured a compelling moment in a Brooklyn borough of New York on September 10, 2013. Platt laid eyes upon a homeless man sleeping on a dirt-and-germ-filled park bench, clinging to what little belongings he still had, while…

profiling and police brutality of African-Americans. He did this by taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem before the kickoff of the game. Usually, people stand during the national anthem as a sign of patriotism and respect for the flag and country, but Colin chose not to. He wanted to be the voice of the voiceless. He wanted to bring attention to what he thought was an injustice in America. He thought that the killings of innocent black Americans, like Tamir Rice, Michael…

the theater, which makes it entertaining for the audience to enjoy it at any side. This stage design is defined as traverse. Another aspect I encountered in the performance were the props and how limited it was. Props that they used include nation’s flags, the trap and steel doors, and the lighting. The traverse stage and the design of the set allowed for a more engaging and intimate performance. Physical wise, the stage was not big which makes it a challenge for the performers to not block…

other sports players who followed in the example were not taken with much ease. Much like any other protest, there are opposing groups who believe that their actions are disrespectful and not appropriate, as they are mocking the actual meaning of the flag and anthem. In the article, military veterans are calling these protesters “unpatriotic,“ police unions have even threatened to stop providing security protection at the NFL games, and even the President, Mr. Donald Trump has suggested that…

The rhetorical images :U.S. flag background, a child, an elephant, and a gun propped in Sarah Palin’s arms. The U.S. flag represents the patriotism, as well as our own history of where guns saved the citizens from a tragic end such as the fight against the English back in the colonies in the 17th century. A child to remind us…
