Pledge of Allegiance

A professed Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Atheist or Agnostic might get a Democratic nomination and, or, a Republican party nomination but they will not get elected as President of the United States. The United States has had 44 Presidents and 43 of them were Protestant. The only President that wasn’t Protestant was John F. Kennedy. He was Roman Catholic and he was assassinated. Although, he hasn’t been the only President who has been assassinated, he has been the only President that…

Before I begin, I would like to take this opportunity to say God Bless America, God Bless the Bill of Rights, and Thank God for the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. The reason for my optimism is due to the fact that 2016 happens to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the renowned Miranda v. Arizona Supreme Court Case. Arguably one of the most influential Supreme Court decisions of our nation’s history, Miranda’s case caused a revision on how authorities from all over the United States would forever…

Military families continue to bond together through their strength and dedication through the preservation of our freedom. Because their loved ones are sacrificing their time and sometimes lives for our country, these families find the bravery to embody the courage that members of their family have set before them. These families do not ask for much, they truly give. When my father was a teenager, he served in the Vietnam War. During battle, he stepped on a landmine and shattered his kneecap. He…

The founding fathers believed in natural born rights like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In short, the Founding Fathers wanted pure American liberty. With all of its problems it was still better than the alternative. People who are free are happy, creative and productive and they thrive. They wanted a properly limited government and they designed one. Our forefathers used the ideas of federalism and anti federalism to come to a compromise to shape what our government is today.…

INTRODUCTION The public administrators concerned about the ethical issues since 1970s. According to Frederickson and Ghere, their research mentions both managerial and individual dimensions of ethical behavior. Moreover, they argue that the globalization is the new challenge to administrative ethics (Radhika 2012: 23). Many countries have the formulation of a civil service code of conduct and ethical guidelines for the public employees (Pollitt 2003). The main reason is the increasing of…

Justice. It is at the heart and soul of the American ideology. We believe there is no such thing as a civil society without it. We fought a revolution to free ourselves from the laws of an unjust king. It is the only virtue stated in our pledge of allegiance, and for the last two hundred and forty years we have tried to uphold this virtue in every part of our democracy, but what is justice? Meriam-Webster Dictionary says justice is the administration of law; especially: the establishment or…

Barack Obama once said “Let us remember we are all part of one American family. We are united in common values, and that includes belief in equality under the law, basic respect for public order, and the right of peaceful protest”. The people of America are given something that everyone is not given. A chance to be successful and survive, unlike other places around the world. America isn’t perfect, but it's one of the countries that have rights given to people of different diversities and gender…

Freedom is having the right to life from the moment of conception. Freedom is having a bean-shaped body with no hands and no feet, and still having the rights of a fully-formed human being. Freedom is knowing that even though you cannot defend yourself as a three-week old in utero, your mother will protect. Freedom is knowing that if your mother will not protect you, the law will. Freedom is when you are defenseless and most vulnerable, and feeling the warm affection and protection offered by…

Seventeen years ago, this past May, I lost one the most important to me, my mother, a “Phenomenal Woman”, in my book. The poem, “Phenomenal Woman” by Maya Angelou was my mothers’ favorite poem. Every time she did something that she felt was great, those very words would roll off her tongue, “Phenomenal Woman That’s Me”! Her death was sudden, no one even knew what happened or how it happened. Family members found her one morning on her floor laying there unresponsive and pale in color.…
