Pledge of Allegiance

“Rape is human nature”. It is understood that studies have found the dramatic incline of sexual assaults trying. But, the fact that this “America”, seems to have become adjusted to the sexual assaults of women is sickening. The last line of the Pledge of Allegiance reads, “One Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL.” Does the concept of all apply to all women? The answer is yes. All victims raped should see…

Is America Truly a Democracy? In the light of reading the passage from The Shame of the cities published in 1904, it has raised the question is America truly a democracy. Throughout history, it has seemed there has always been some sort of polluting in the voting polls. Voting is a promise of equality while at the same time, it is a great threat to the men who created our government. According to the passage written by Lincoln Steffens, he and other muckrakers pointed out that there was a…

Imagine sitting on a train. An individual typically would conjure up a variety of images, a cozy cabin with a cushioned booth and a table to eat the lavish meal the gracious waters served, or possibly less upscale but still comfortable, each person receiving his or her own seat, separate and spacious. Now with this image in mind, imagine a child starting to cry. The typical person would consider the child’s parents; they should comfort him or her. The crying continues and no one aids the lost…

Every morning, with tired eyes we mindlessly place our right hands atop our hearts and recite the national pledge. We wave our flag proudly at Fourth of July festivities, smiling with joy. Every two years we cheer on the United States team as they compete in the Olympics. We show appreciation towards our home country regularly, yet how often do we stop and question what it really means to be an American. It is inarguable that America is a land of unique inhabitants and cultures. In fact, America…

Separation of Church and State Separation of church and state is a saying most people associate with the law. The United states has a religious society, yet a secular government, and many laws and moral values are based off of the Ten Commandments written in the Bible, so is there really a separation? Many think that there is none, and that religion is a practice that was written into the constitution by the founding fathers. However, the United States in fact remains secular, and holds a…

By incorporating two years of stories about inventions, accomplishments, wars, villains, and heroes into a young students mind, they can seemingly grow attached to the subject of Texas, and look highly upon it. Public schools in Texas also pledge allegiance to the United States and Texas flag every day at school for the first 12 years of school, and not only do schools push Texas pride into the students, they publicly show Texas pride by flying the Texas flag right next to the American Flag,…

Why Business Matters Jeff Van Duzer (Van Duzer), author of “Why Business Matters to God,” said there’s another way of doing business other than strictly for profit or shareholder value. Van Duzer describes the purpose of business from a Christian perspective as that, “ business is called first not for profit, but to participating in the work of advancing God’s kingdom by creating meaningful work for people offering goods and services that enable communities to flourish (Van Duzer, 2010).”…

Have you ever wondered about Singapore and what their culture is like? Although Singapore has great diversity, it is a united country with united religions and cultures.

In Christine Downing’s, “The Myth of Homosexuality” she starts by stating how they have been defined or the objects of this myth instead of being the creator of their own mythology. This leads her into the past of the myth’s origin which to her analysis is fairly short in which homosexuality was created to interpret human sexuality. Prior to the end of the nineteenth century homosexuality did not exist in the sense that these behaviors was understood in a different context. This was thought of…

looking back. You can tell this from the way he talks. The story starts when Mr. Hibler gets a cough, and needs to go home. The next day, a strange looking substitute called Ms. Ferenczi comes in, she starts up the kids’ motors by skipping the pledge of allegiance, doing regular arithmetic drills, and other boring worksheets. The real trouble begins when Ms. Ferenczi…
