Jack as a faded full flag. I added it as without the United Kingdom, Canada would not exist in the form it does today. As it is today however, Canada lives without leadership from the United Kingdom, but they still are connected through the British Commonwealth. The Canadians I found the Union Jack significant enough to have it fill the entire flag, but keep it as a fade to prioritize the Canadian aspect of the Canadian flag. Secondly, I added the two known Aboriginal flags as they are the…
assistance. Lester also made Canada more independent by giving the country their own flag and adding a military that is Canada’s alone.

I believe we lost track of the one that is the most important. The flag of the United States of America, it is a symbol of our nation’s strength and unity. The flag represents the land of the free and the brave. Like other countries, national symbols show their beliefs and pride in their country.

ragged, textured image of the flag. Similar to many African-American artists, he uses imagery of the American flag as a theme in his work. To me, the distressed appearance of the flag represents American history, particularly Black history, which is characterized by violence, systematic discrimination, and struggle. Therefore, the flag becomes a representation of America's history of segregation and intolerance. However, despite our nation’s violent and dark history, the flag serves to unite…

Confederate flag apparel should be allowed in schools because it represents the Southern heritage for many students. In the article “Heritage or Hatred” Zach Comer says his shirt is inscribed with the slogan “It’s a lifestyle y”all wouldn’t understand”. To most of these students the confederate flag is not a symbol of racism, but a symbol of what they live for. Their southern heritage defines who they are, and where they come from. “Live life like you want to live life” Zach Comer said, “but…
recently started to protest racism by not standing for the National Anthem or even coming out of the locker room at all. While they have the right to protest, is protesting the National Anthem and the flag really necessary? The flag stands for the freedoms that the military has fought for.

The NFL players are an example for all of the youth throughout America, they shouldn’t be disrespecting something that gives them the right to…
