Although the main goal of President Donald Trump’s trade policy is to “expand trade in a way that is freer and fairer for all Americans”, I question whether Trump genuinely wants to enrich the lives of all Americans through more transparent trade or whether he wants to provide more opportunities for the wealthiest of Americans to thrive economically, leaving lower-income Americans in the dust (1). The Trump administration seeks to work with Congress “to lower taxes… to stimulate U.S. economic…

The idealistic gain from free speech in America compares to nothing else, its superiority when it comes to freedom reigns over all others. While free speech is greatly adored in America, there should be a limit to it because of the violence it causes, it is oppressive, and when expressed in negative ways such as rallies, adds a terrible connotation to certain cities. While there have been many positives to free speech, a variety of different families have had loved ones taken away from them in…

At the beginning of time, high up on a mountain there was a rock named Rockington. He was just a small sedimentary rock, but he was happy nonetheless. One day, a gust of wind caused a great deal of erosion. Rockington lost part of its mass, but soon recovered it when sediment was formed above him. However, this new sediment did not last long as he and the other rocks started to break down. He then succumbed to the pressure of Earth and went in the fiery depths of Earth’s mantle. He wasn’t there…

survive. In the nonfictional novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, the Elie experiences the animosity humans can have for each other when they are desperate. The survival of the fittest is one of the oldest rules known in the history of Earth. “Men were hurling themselves against each other, trampling, tearing at and mauling each other.”(sec. 7) Humans are known for their civility and yet they are throwing themselves onto each one another. Without a question, humans would only do things that would…

He always had the talent and the drive, but, time and time again, Lin had to face and overcome disappointment. Every time he showed up on a court, odds were he'd have to deal with the opposing team's fans (or players) hurling racial epithets and insensitive jokes. Thoughtful and family-focused, Lin seems like an ideal athlete for young basketball fans to admire and respect. As you can tell by reading my full indepth review on this film and the review by some other critic…

Morgan Page 03/21/24 Dr. Knoell Unit 10 Essay The reading “Political Cinema: Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing” by Marilyn Fabe does an excellent job of analyzing and deciphering Spike Lee’s film Do the Right Thing. This reading touches on Spike Lee’s support for Malcolm X’s views on the use of acts deemed violent as a form of protest. However, the reading more importantly explores the inclusion of both Martin Luther King Jr.’s and Malcolm X’s views on using violence. Ultimately, by incorporating…

It was that time of year again. Birds were coming out of their nests and the trees were finally growing their leaves back. It was spring; which meant it was time for baseball. In the year 2013, I was only in fifth grade in the small suburb of Streamwood, Illinois. I have a small family. There was my tall dad, who always likes to joke around. Then there was my mom, who was really nice and sweet, like candy. My sister and me were very similar, yet very different. We both like computers, watching…

success of Trump’s campaign lies in the inability of either parties to communicate. The left has already “won,” in the sense of being the politically-correct viewpoint. Any other positions is automatically silenced and labeled racist or offensive. Yet, hurling ad hominem attacks has never persuaded one to change his/her stance, and it certainly has not with the election either. Persuasion can only be achieved through civil discussion with mutual respect and open minds. In this time when our…
