The Dog Park debate is a current issue for Muscatine, Iowa residents. The residents, for the dog park argue that building a dog park will improve their pet's mental state and improve property values in their neighborhood. The residents against the dog park state that it would be a hardship on taxpayers and would make the neighborhood noisy. Should there be a dog? There should not be a dog park because not everyone owns a dog. Forcing the taxpayers to fund a dog park is not fair. Getting that…

segregation is when us known as black people were separated from whites.It was really bad. It separated us from whites’ restaurants, hotels, water fountains schools, public toilets, riding the bus, etc. Speakin’ of the bus, Have you ever heard of Rosa Parks? If you haven’t, this is what happened. December 1 ( two days before my birthday!) Mrs.Parks was going home after a long day of work. She got on the bus and after a few minutes, a white unknown man told her to get up. Rosa refused, later on,…

being addressed on dog parks is of mixed feelings. I believe they dog park should be built to allow a stress reliever, fun times, and better physical health for dogs. Furthermore, the idea of the dog park being built would allow dogs to have a stress reliever. It would also allow dogs to have a free range of area to run around and meet new dogs. For example in,"If a dog doesn't learn to get along with other dogs, it may attack a strange dog or a person."(A Dog Park Benefits All, Para2,…

Have you ever been on an escalator? I have many times and one time it was crazy and let me tell you why. It was the fall of 2011 and I was 5 years old. I was in kindergarten around the time and it was a saturday. My mom, my 2 sister and I went to the Roosevelt Field Mall and we were enjoying ourselves. My family and I were walking around and my sister and mom got into an argument like usual. My mom was tired because she was working all day and she didn’t want to hear it from my sister so my mom…

I waited, very shaky in the long line to go on Rockin’ Rollercoaster. It was a warm day where the sun was shining down and I was pacing back and forth the whole morning in the hotel room. I had terrible butterflies in my stomach. Waiting in line felt like forever, but in all reality not much time had past. I waited and waited. I felt like one of those cartoon characters who is standing around waiting for something awful to happen. I looked up at my dad sniffing and wiping the cold tears that…

another way around it. For example the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Although they relied on the public transportation to get them to places, they carpooled with other people, and even walked. They ended up succeeding a little over a year later after Rosa Parks arrest when the United States Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to segregate public busses. Laws are meant to be for the safety of everyone, but not everyone follows them, even officials which is why some laws work and others…

If it wasn’t for Rosa Parks the african-american community’s rights would not be anywhere they are today. There are so many extraordinary traits and words that could describe the amazing Rosa Parks. The three words that I would mainly use to outline her as an individual would be brave and strong, amazing at keeping her composure, and a person who never gives up. She was the one who sparked the huge upcoming fire that is ending racism or segregation. Brave and strong, were the first set of…

Brennan Grimley Soc 201 Prof. Maniscalco 28 November 2016 South Park: American Culture told in Satire South Park,the television show, would be considered by many to be a crude and lude form of entertainment with no relevance to the society we live in. To discount the value of it without thought,is a mistake. South Park uses its crude “toilet humor” (Gournelos 151) to address social issues in a more approachable manner allowing the viewer to be made to really question an issue without knowing so…
