Many American Indian nations had been affected by cultural differences from surrounding groups of people. However, the Haudenosaunee people generally remained unaffected and their governing system unchanged. The Haudenosaunee, or the Iroquois, consist of six nations: Mohawk, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. These six nations formed a peaceful and stable group of people. American colonists came in contact with many American Indian nations and learned a lot about their…

persecutions. The laws of the first amendment of the U.S constitution permits freedom of press, this allows the media to not be censored by the government. With that being said, the government doesn't have the right to control things published by the press. The media is influenced by TV, radio, Internet, and newspapers; without the first amendment the privileges to criticize the government, speaking your ideas and/or the freedom to petition are challenged. The first Amendment opens up many…

Strachey later published another work known as For the Colony in Virginea Britannia. Lawes Divine, Morall and Martiall, Etc. In this work he included the orders from the governor of Jamestown, which acted as a code of conduct and was enforced to that of laws in the colony for all parts of life for the colonists. The code was in part based off of how the king ruled back in England over religion and authority: “Whereas his Majesty like himselfe a most zealous Prince hath in his owne Realmes a…

Throughout Revolt of the Cockroach People, Buffalo Brown is torn between following the violent tendencies of his chicano brethren, or staying true to being the peaceful protesting chicano lawyer he needs to be. In his time of confusion, he is able to visit his inspiration, Cesar Chavez. While Mookie of Do the Right Thing does not get to meet a popular civil rights activist, Dr. Martin Luther King is still present throughout the movie in Smiley’s picture. These two non-violent activists are…

The 1950s was known as time of civil rights progression and the fear of communism within America. But the censorship of literature and music that ran rampant in this time period is not recognized when you think of the 1950s. Classics and comics were a majority of the banning throughout this time period but not the only. Emergence of music types like R&B were also a huge ‘problem’ to many to what is played on the radio which this could be linked to the racism at the time. Pretty scandalous. The…

The constitution was the most important document ever written in The United States history. The Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787, and was written during the Constitutional Convention. That was 228 years ago that this document was written, but yet we still follow this document. Even though it was written over 200 years ago, I do believe that it should still be followed, and is very acceptable to today's issues and events. There are three reasons why the constitution should still be…

1. Based on these facts, what are the policy considerations in favor and against allowing the plaintiff to pursue a lawsuit against OSHA, seeking a writ of mandamus from a federal judge, and requiring OSHA to adjudicate plaintiff’s retaliation claim against the employer? This case is about a man, Roger Wood, a former electrician that worked for United Engineers and Constructors at the Johnson Atoll Chemical Agent Disposal System location and witnessed management and co-workers not using the…

In our world today, the human race has developed in many ways. Some of these ways have been good, but others have failed miserably. One example of a terrible movement is political correctness. Political correctness is when someone says things in a different way than normal to avoid offending anyone. Political Correctness is worse now than in the time of Thoreau. With our society falling apart more and more everyday, many people feel like changing the way that people act and think. Political…

relevant to both the movement of the plot and modern day America is whistleblowing. Whistleblowing, or the disclosure of information by a person or agency that may be illegal, corrupt, or tarnish reputations, is directly related to democracy and freedom of speech (Whistleblowing). Additionally, whistleblowing plays a critical role in the film as well, introducing conflict throughout the film. While the film was created in the 1930s, the ideas presented remain both culturally and politically…

There has been a request from several people to remove books from the curriculum such as Huckleberry Finn and Catcher in the Rye due to some inappropriate language. Although I am aware that foul language is not acceptable inside the walls of high schools, I cannot assist with that decision. Many people out in the real world use that language on TV shows and movies, social media, with friends and family, and definitely in numerous books! A couple of books with a few choice words should not harm…
