Pledge of Allegiance

willing to die for what he truly believes is right. This is an exact situation and line that summarizes just who Kent is which I do not think was mistakenly dropped into the play by Shakespeare. Kent in this scene makes very apparent what he values and pledges to and that is his internal…

In American history, immigration has played a significant role in the creation of our diverse society. Many people of different ethnicities and backgrounds have come over to America in pursue of their dreams. Certain groups come for a change from the abnormality and conflicts that occur in their country. Others arrive in pursuit of a better life in which they believe can benefit them and their families. With the arrival of these immigrants, the country and its current population have to adapt…

automatically demonstrate my loyalty to them, simply due to the fact that I actually have to agree with what they have done or achieved and be OK with the way things turned out in the end. I firmly believe that any American that has uttered the words “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” is loyal to the country, as long as they don’t commit any kind of…

from that relationship is integral to the separation of women from one another, their “allegiance” with men, and their consequent underrating of themselves along with other women (Werner 34-35). Rich uses the first pronoun “I” to identify with the women’s past she had recalled, saying “I am an American woman” which is recognition of how present has been shaped by the past. In addition, Rich goes on to say she pledges to end the “isolation” between American women and to end the social order by…

Growing up, most children are brought up eating meat. It is the norm to consume meat as it is taught that it has sufficient nutritional value through the potent amount of protein. No one bothers to mention the side effect of eating meat which is the cholesterol contained in it that has the possibility to lead to plaque. People disregard the negative aspect of meat, in which cholesterol leads to heart disease, and they choose to only focus on the positive: that meat gives protein. This ties in…

In Chapter 7, Land of Opportunity, Loewen discusses social class throughout US History. For the most part, people will stay in the same social class for their whole life. If you were born in the lower class, you will most likely die in the lower class. Same for middle and upper classes. This is because of opportunity. Americans like to preach on how America is the “Land of Opportunity,” even though not everyone is given an equal opportunity. Babies born into the lower classes are usually less…

The Internment of Japanese Americans during WWII When most people think of World War II they think of the Jewish genocide and other events happening in Europe. What some Americans do not know about is the internment and treatment of Japanese Americans during that time. Many American citizens were taken from their homes with only the small possessions they could carry and taken to camps in the desert. Sociologically, it is important to look at this event and understand why citizens of the same…

moral high horse based on our strong rights-based core, but other countries, including others whose track record of human rights is non-existent at best, have called us out on our hypocrisy. Every morning, millions of school children recite the pledge of allegiance ending with “with liberty and justice for all” while prisoners remain in Guantanamo Bay Prison waiting the be charged. Where is the justice for…

Over the course of history many groups of people have come together to form nations and empires. Some have become very powerful, rising above others. They have flourished and accomplished what was never thought possible. This was done through trade and by conquering other tribes and nations surrounding them to expand their borders, increasing their influence. In Asia, the Khwarezmid, Song, Xia, and Jin dynasties all obtained power and were able to conquer almost all of Asia. These empires…

Thesis Statement~ Madalyn Murray O'hair's 1963 Supreme Court case victory removing religion from the public school system has had a directly observable effect on the breakdown of necessary teachings of ethics, morals and values at a very impressionable development period, which is leading to increased acts of juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, teen suicide, violence and disrespect for authority. The void created from the removal of religious teachings in public schools has exploded into…
