A revolutionary event began trending throughout the beginning of our NFL football season that really stomps on our presidents foot. Players have started taking a knee during our national anthem. Trump says this act is “unpatriotic” and “disrespectful”. More people have begun joining Colin Kaepernick in taking a knee. He started taking a knee September of 2016, but it was not noticed right away. When asked for his reasoning behind taking a knee Kaepernick says, “I am not going to stand up and…

When standing for the National Anthem at sporting events nowadays you might realize some people don’t stand. Why is this, is it meant out of disrespect? Well to some athletes, they perform this action in regards of making a protest. All over the United States athletes are making a protest against the anthem and what it stands for by kneeling on the sideline instead of standing and placing their hand over their heart. NFL player, Colin Kaepernick is just one of many to make this protest but, yet…

The national anthem and the patriotism of dissent, a paper written by an author arguing that attempting to raise awareness towards social injustice can be done differently than disrespecting the country and that disrespecting the flag or America is not the way to do it. Through the editorial, this author is ineffective and contradictory in making a point that protesting during the pledge or national anthem is disgraceful. This author contradicts themselves by going back and forth and being…

many problems with how White Star Line treated the different classes of people. In the aftermath safety conventions were held and regulations were changed. But not only that, the Titanic mainly captured the interest of the media and peoples’ thoughts with books, poems, movies, and more. The sinking of the RMS Titanic had a large impact on the standards,…

The proclaimed “unsinkable” ship, Titanic, sailed on April 10, 1912. Titanic departed with 2,229 passengers and crew members from Southampton, England. The Titanic was perceived as an unsinkable ship because it was extensively advertised that its design would provide the utmost security. Upon boarding, the passengers felt exhilarated and secure. In just four days the emotions of the people voyaging on Titanic became overwhelmed with anguish and terror. As stated on Titanicandco, a website…

Countless amounts of U.S. citizens volunteer to put their life on the line to protect U.S. soil each year. They dedicate their lives to ensure that American’s have the security and freedom that individuals desire. That well-known fabric that once made an appearance on the moon is the American nation’s symbol commonly called the American Flag. Due to Colin Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the National Anthem to protest against unjust race prejudice, it brought forth governmental distress and…

The Titanic set off for its first and sadly the last voyage on April 10th, 1912. The supposedly “unsinkable” ship sank in just under 3 hours, taking just over 1,503 people with it. The Titanic wouldn’t have sunk if it wasn't definitely due to man-made errors; such as not being built in a uniform fashion and the pure ignorance of crew members. There is additional evidence to suggest that the climate could actually have caused the Titanic to sink, but even though the climate kind of was a factor…

The fact that the NFL just decided to "take a knee" because Donald Trump called them a bunch of "sons of bitches" disappoints me because that is a horrible reason to kneel. I know not all players think that, but the league wide protest did not start until Donald Trump insulted them. This is not anything new. I hate how that was the tipping point that brought the NFL players and owners together to kneel. People have different reasons to stand or kneel, but if they are kneeling because of what…

you look at the flag, what do you see? Yes, you automatically feel proud to be an American; but why? When I see a flag blowing in the gentle wind, or I see a crowd of thousands standing with their hands to their hearts while the National Anthem plays, I always quiver. I just stand there in astonishment that so few could sacrifice so much for so many. The flag has been around for more than 200 years, and every single person has a different interpretation. The flag is an indescribable icon of our…

Glancing up into the sky, I see the thirteen red and white strips attached to each other flowing in the wind along with the fifty white stars pinned into the upper right hand corner with a backdrop of navy blue. Most people see the flag every day, but think nothing of it, but the flag is a symbol of our country. The United States flag has a different meaning to every person; this is what it means to me. The United States flag stands for so many things but most importantly, strength and…
