Some examples of these skills are that I have held a…

Debate Opening Statement - Mexican War We believe that texas has absolutely no legal right to join the United States. President Polk has broken multiple laws on several different occasions, and action must be taken. President Polk took over texas first, then tried to negotiate. He clearly was to take advantage of Mexico's young and weak government by using his superior power. His actions were both illegal and immoral. It is impossible to legally justify taking land that does not belong to…

In addition, we have a substantial secondary list. Therefore, we will have to prioritize to reduce our activities to a level suitable for retired folks. On the way down we will visit a state history museum, a presidential museum, and a state capitol. Therefore, we may want to avoid the Bullock Texas…

It was created to restrain the flow of illegal immigrants by penalizing employers who hire undocumented immigrants. Even though this Act was created to prevent further incidents of illegal…

The movie talks about how the girls were view as entertainments, then eventually as athletes. The movie also talks about why the AAGPBL is not around anymore. I find it degrading to women that the “girls…

Bissinger’s Friday Night Lights, football has become a necessity in life. The town comes together every Friday night and rallies for their team. Permian football is the town’s heart.
