I am Emnjundi Jacqueline Longton (call me Jackie), and this is my story. I live in the utopia of Colorum, or perhaps it is the dystopia of Colorum. Utopia is certainly what our world appears to be. We all have our jobs, our lifestyles. When we change, we can change our surroundings if we wish. Everyone is happy, except for those who are misfits. Those who don’t get along with our law. No one knows what happens to them, just that they get removed. To where? No one knows. To people in Hyacinthum,…
Song of Myself “Song of Myself”, which is famous for “representing the core of Whitmans poetic vision” (Greenspan) was written in 1881 by Walt Whitman. This poem is baffling to many people because of both the symbolism and wordplay. Walt Whitman begins by introducing the subject in the poem, which is himself and he goes on by celebrating this theme. Whitman utilizes words such “I”, “myself” and his inner soul to generate a feel of being and depiction in specific sects of the poem. Whilst it…
Providers. The way the government wants us to use the internet now is that we have to pay for packages of websites to be able to use them, you pay for these packages through your ISP (Internet Service Providers). What they want to do is take away our right to a free internet and regulate what we do. They say that they will free us when they rid us of net neutrality; they will not. They will enslave us to endless paying subscriptions and force us to pay for something that was free before.…

As a liberalist, Balko strongly believes individual freedoms should be the center focus of the government. He disagrees that the government is doing a successful job of sustaining and encouraging a healthier America. His concerns about these issues point toward the idea of fairness because tiny things like what a person choses to eat affect the wallets of…
“We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back” (Malala Yousafzai). In order for a nation to prosper it is mandatory for all of its people to have freedom. There are many societies where some people had privileges granted to them by the law. In these societies, things changed because of social unrest or war. It becomes extremely difficult to defend privileges for only select groups. This is why it is important for leaders of the United States to focus on protecting and defending equal…

The side I support the most is public order because I think it is necessary that more action be taken, observing how the crime rates have risen since the era of the civil rights movement (1960s-1970s). During the 1960s, I believe it was imperative for more individual rights to be provided to fellow citizens of the United States, as many minorities were treated…
