Daniel Ellsberg stood up against decisions made by the United States government during the Vietnam War by observing the truth of the government’s foreign policy, distributing classified documents eventually called the Pentagon Papers, and creating a crack in the Nixon administration. These actions resulted in an immense negative impact on the relationship between the U.S. government and American people in which citizens questioned the credibility of the government. The issues described in the…

Abortion is something that has been an issue in America for over one hundred years. It is something that we all know of but surprisingly don’t know a lot about.

This essay is going to help those who might not know a lot about Abortion and hopefully help them come to a conclusion of why abortion is legal…

Women’s abortion legislation The never-ending debate between pro-choice and pro-life is a controversial conversation that never seems to stop. Despite which side anyone is on, a major issue is how the legislation affects women. While the pro-choice side of things is viewed primarily for its support of women and women’s health, pro-life can be viewed as protecting the unborn child’s safety and health. Pro-life legislation is important but has many drawbacks, due to some of it being directly…

September 11, 2001 was an extremely sad and memorable day in the United States history. A terrorist group attacked major United States cities in a joint effort to destroy our way of life. On that day, 3,000 innocent Americans lost their lives as a result of terrorism. This attack was the first catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil in many years. The Unites States decided to act and went after terrorist organizations abroad and implemented laws in America to defend our freedoms.…

Curriculum in the school’s systems has been altered or changed throughout the century to provide children the knowledge that needs to be learned. Education is more important than the grades you receive but the understandings needed to live in our today’s world. Education allows us to process the information we receive on a daily basis and make conclusions and inferences based on what we already know (ROWAN, 2014).

spirituality but includes the added dimension of living the faith. A person high in religiosity, however, has both this close relationship with God and acts on this belief by going to church and engaging in other sorts of religious activities.

In general, children and adolescents raised in families that value social responsibility and compassion internalize these values. Numerous…

The history of the USA has been centered around politics. Our leaders, economy, wars, and citizens are all adversely affected by the direction the country and democracy takes politically. However, two main groups have risen up among all others, being the Liberals / Democrats and Conservatives / Republicans. These two factions have taken center stage in almost every election, from mayoral to presidential. Recently, liberal beliefs have become some of the loudest in the country, and are spreading…

I discovered this not the case. While reading Lydia Saad’s article titled “American concerns about global warming on the Rise” I observed a chart that corresponded to a Gallup poll conducted in 2013. This poll was done to determine how concerned Americans are about global warming. I concluded that 58% of Americas worry about global warming (Saad 2013). It doesn’t make sense why over 99% of consumers will continue to drive gas operated vehicles…

America is a nation its people are proud of. Those people think it is the best at everything. In the last couple of decades, however, the United States has witnessed itself slide backwards in the areas of equality, prosperity, and education. Many would ask how the U.S. could possibly be failing to educate its students. The U.S. spends more money per student than any other developed nation. Yet American high school students have posted average to subpar performances in math and science testing…

For many years, there has been growing controversy on whether or not the drinking age in the United States should be lowered from 21 years old to 18 years old. Underage drinking has been a major problem in our country for many years now, and alcohol is the most widely used substance among America’s youth.
