Teacher Told Me, by James Loewen, many different important points are made about how the history textbook industry is corrupt, telling lies, or not telling the whole truth to the young readers. This should be very evident to most people, since textbooks spanning from elementary to high school often tell different pieces of information, and sometimes, complete opposite of those pieces of information. For years, history textbooks have been corrupted by the economically elite, and “teach” children…

We all want to live a long life and many do whatever they can to prolong their lives as much as possible. However, there are costs for longevity: Alzheimer 's, physical health problems, and financial restrictions to name just a few. The list goes on.

try to be observant and listen to others’ opinions while not wavering in my own beliefs. Another important aspect of Vietnamese culture I have learned is the importance of taking care of one’s family and community. For example, traditionally, in Vietnam, a son or daughter would never send his or her elderly parents to a nursing home. Rather, the youngest son or daughter would care for them until they pass.

himself, but not the family as a whole, in which lighting a candle for the dead would serve as his role.
