Pledge

The Second Great Awakening had a greater impact on America. In the early 19th century, religious revivals changed the nation’s religious views. Preachers shared their messages however they could to as many as possible. Residents of urban cities and rural farmlands went to these religious revival camp meetings, gatherings for several days; men, women, and children taking in what the itinerant preacher were preaching. These revivals spread through the United States like a wildfire, creating new…

Both leaders, Joseph Cook, Prime Minister, and Andrew Fisher, leader of the Labor Party, promised Australian support to Britain. Labor won the Federal Election and became an enthusiastic ‘win-the-war’ party in government. Supporting the initial pledge of 20,000 men, the new Government watched an extraordinary rush to enlist all around the country and soon promised an increase in the expeditionary force to take the total to 50,000 men.…

Austin, I used to be an NRA member, I am not going to dispute what the law currently allows and that the second amendment was meant for a “well regulated militia”, however your statement “The NRA made a pledge to stand against any legislation that would limit the 2nd Amendment”, does not stand up to the history (until recently) of the NRA. I have read “the Second Amendment: A Biography, many Second Amendment articles and our current class textbook, for reference to my thinking. The NRA was…

My three subjects chosen were NFL players that were not kneeling for the Pledge of Allegiance, the 9/11 terrorist attack, and the tornado outbreak of 2011. As I began to brainstorm, I realized these three topics were close to my heart. In baseball and football, I always participated in the Pledge of Allegiance before each game. To me, this shows respect not only to the flag, but also to the men and women that gave me the freedom to…

A Radical’s Radical Plan to Eliminate Radicals When I was younger, I remember many days where I came home from school and asked my dad “Why do we have to learn history. It’s not like it's going to help me at all when I’m a grownup.” I could understand why we would need to learn subjects like English or math, and their applications in the “real world”, but I was always stumped on history. Puzzling me, he would respond every time by saying “those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it…

(that we [the government] are not going to tell you [the public] about) to make sure we [the government] do not violate your [the public’s] rights” (The Editorial Board, 2013). Apparently, this promise from the authority was as unreliable as another pledge which was mentioned previously. On the one hand, the government ensured the transparency and openness. On the other hand, the government refused to disclose their dealings. After the NSA surveillance been made public for a while, the…

My utopia might be perfect to me, but no where near perfect to someone else. My utopia would have an Confederate Democracy. A group of powerful people, called guardians, would make all of the major decisions in my utopia. Guardians are a group of maybe 15 to 25 officials in the community that have just…
