The Illusion of Revolution Malcolm Gladwell, a best-selling author, in his essay "Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted" critiques the use of social media as a tool in organizing social and political activism. His purpose is to argue that social media is ineffective in creating real change. He creates an informative tone and uses allusions to convince readers that social media is not as dangerous to the status quo as many are lead to believe. In the beginning of his essay,…

what the government should and should not do in order to combat gentrification, shows the various levels of severity in which people view the problem, even when a group agrees it is a social problem that warrants action.

Civil disobedience has always been an option in the United States. People have the right to protest, request change, and challenge the government. Historically, protests only give positive results when the cause is one that will forever change the world.

Laws are thoroughly thought out, planned, and executed by…

Take a few steps back, back to when a group of colonists arrived with humble aspirations to start a life free from religious persecution. Take a step forward, in the direction of economic growth, when the little thirteen colonies were no longer scattered colonies, barely making ends meet, but rather a formidable force with abundant resources.

Nfl players should stand for every game it is said or sang. The reason I say this is it is this is an opportunity you have here in the U.S that no other country has. When you and I stand for the anthem we are honouring those who fight for everyone's freedom,independence, and rights we have in this…

There are soldiers everywhere holding rifles and helmets as if they are in the middle of a training area. Their presence right off the bat sets the tone of the situation. This is no joking matter and they mean business. Right in the center of the image you can see a man in the middle of about five soldiers.
