Pledge

To Remain Under God Controversy spreads widely on a topic that has yet to be settled: the appropriateness of the expression “under God” in America’s national Pledge. Supporters of the saying believe that it instills a sense of safety, humbleness, and morality. They approve of the phrase whereas critics condemn it for its hostility. Contestants argue that the saying imposes a monotheistic conviction, a religious declaration, and the fear of out casting on an entire nation whose people are not…

decision was also made because there was a cut-off in the aid that was being used by the Soviet Union (“peace pledge union”). When the Vietnamese were at the end of their retreat the last group left from Cambodia in 1989 that was also the year that the name was officially restored (“peace pledge union”).

important things I took from this article were actually The Empowerment Pledge the student say after each Power Monday meeting. The first one is “I pledge to always maintain a positive attitude”. This stood out to me because a lot of students will become discouraged and in becoming discouraged they will then begin not to care about what is important. So having this as the first pledge was very inspiring and motivating. Second is “I pledge to make good sound decisions”. This reiterates to the…

After conducting my interviews, I was not surprised at the results that I gathered. Almost all of my participants were united on their positionality towards Greek Life and could agree, to some extent, that Greek Life does receive an unfair amount of negative publicity in the media. In order to come to the conclusion that the Greek community receives a lot of negative publicity, I needed evidence from both my interviews and external sources. I was able to gather opinions from each of my…

debate, but I think at some point we all do. I guess a time where I saw that freedom is more defined by the person is when I chose not to stand for the pledge of allegiance last year. It was a personal choice, and I had logically thought out my reason for it and figured that I could do it, we’d always been told we didn’t have to stand and say the pledge.
