The definition of power is the ability or right to control people or things, political control of a country or area ,a person or organization that has a lot of control and influence over other people or organizations. People are greedy and will do whatever they can to get power . One way to get power is suppressing knowledge of your people. “ The less you know the Better”…

The primary audience in the VICE Charlottesville video is anyone who is willing to listen and realize there is a problem in Charlottesville and our nation today. Christopher Cantwell discusses how he is willing to be violent, doesn’t care about people’s feelings, and wants the country to be racist. The key arguments of the antifa are they tried to stop the white supremacist group from coming and they were ignored. This video’s tone was depressing and upsetting because it displayed the hatred…

resistance also helps to create and expand ideas and opinions. Without any form of peaceful resistance a free society would be one of conformity in which, everyone believed the same thing that they are told to believe. In instances such as this, we see no freedom of opinion or expression. The civil rights movement gave a prime example of how peaceful resistance can bring about new ideas. Before the civil rights movement, the idea was one of inequality. However, in today's free society we see…

The First Amendment states that “freedom of speech” is a fundamental right in the U.S. Freedom of speech is the right to, without fear of being restrained, express opinions and views freely. It is no surprise there is controversy surrounding this topic, as there are potential problems and threats that can arise due to someone expressing their opinion. At the same time, lots of people who defend this right say this is what keeps America unique compared to most other countries. The idea of…

Simon Sinek and Hasan Piker are two guys in two separate YouTube videos with opposing views on the Millennial generation. Sinek’s video preceded Piker’s and the topic was on how “Millennials are not compatible for the corporate workplace because of bad parenting, social media, participation medals, and a false sense of self-image”. Piker responded with exigence by arguing that “Sinek is totally ignoring all the problems that Millennials face in the workplace”. Piker’s argument has the upper hand…

Control of What Students Read in Schools Over 11,300 different books have been banned since 1982. Many of those books have been banned in schools. The community should have control of what students read in school to shelter their kids from inappropriate language. The community should have control over what books students read in school because parents may want to suggest a book to add to the curriculum. People might not want to include the community in the decision of what books are read in…

I, personally, do not think that there should be any limitations in regards to freedom of speech as long as the content of the speech does not oppose any moral or civic values. According to ‘The Online Books Page, BANNED BOOKS ONLINE’ I’ve noticed that most of these books are banned for mainly what seems to be conservative reasons (Ie. “Margaret Sanger's husband was jailed for distributing her Family Limitation, which described and advocated various methods of contraception…”) and a popular…

What is Freedom? “We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” (King 3). In this quote, Dr. King addresses one must fight back for what is right. If your civil liberties are provoked, you must rise too top the oppressor. This a strong quote from Dr. King which I openly agree with because it shows the amount of honor in his words to revolt against the government. Dr. King was flouted by many because he…

Advertisements targeting children should be banned in the United States. These two articles: Protect Children from Targeted Advertising and Self-regulation and Education-- Not Legislation sum up the main arguments regarding targeted child advertising. As the name implies, Protect Children from Targeted Advertising supports such a ban. Adversely, Self-regulation and Education--Not Legislation opposes a ban on child advertising. I believe whole-heartedly that advertising, especially when directed…
