In India, “thousands of sheep buffalo, and goats… died after grazing on Bt cotton plants”(GMO Dangers 1). In North America, farmers have reported that after feeding their pigs GM corn, the pigs had low conception rates, became sterile, or had false pregnancies.

From a “necessary evil” to Emancipation Proclamation, from segregation to the Civil Rights Act and 15th Amendment, African Americans’ social status was changing positively when they were freed from the title of slave and were widely accepted by other races. Although their life has definitely improved dramatically in the past decades, but they never really achieved the main purpose of the Civil Rights Movement, gaining racial equality between whites and blacks. Writer Richard Wright was born…

I found myself interested in this topic because I myself am a C-section baby; so is my mother. I also know quite a few people who were C-sections. Prior to my study, I believed assumed that C-sections were only performed in serious cases, that’s what happened with my mother and me. I was an enormous baby and was a “failure to descend” which means I wasn’t coming out, my mom --- I didn’t think C-sections could just, happen.

Since the day I was born, I have been taught to proudly sing “The land of the free and the home of the brave” along with my fellow Americans. But how free are we really? From brainwashing to unknown scandals, do we really even know what we are standing for? With so many secrets and lies it is hard to tell just exactly what is true and false, but the most astonishing secret of all is the power held by secret societies in The United States of America. A secret societies is a group or club of…
