The Remains

The documentary We Shall Remain- After the Mayflower presented contact and interactions between settlers and Native Americans in the early periods of English colonization. It used a familiar event; the Mayflower and the establishment of Plymouth as a colonial settlement to bring forth the information in a new way. Right from the beginning of the film, it clearly and quite drastically separated itself from other documentaries of its type. While other documentaries, and many have done so, would…

be the one you wake up to everyday. Being that the federal government has turned primarily republican this year, there is a lot of talk about making abortions illegal. There are many reasons abortions should remain legal in the U.S. As decided by the Supreme Court in 1973, abortion should remain a “fundamental right” and be accessible to all women. History has shown us that abortions will happen no matter what. Legal or not, women will still find ways to have an abortion. When people have no…

Abstract In this paper I will be arguing whether or not judges are political. I will utilize the methods of judge selection, term limitations, and human nature to defend my argument. I also plan to argue that judges should remain political. In 1789, Article III of the United States Constitution established the Judicial Branch of government. The article designed and christened the Supreme Court as defender of our nation’s most supreme law. Congress received the power to…

I think the voting age should remain at 18, for a few reasons. Among these are that older voters are more aware of the issues, younger voters barely if at all are interested in what is going on in the country, and at the age of 16, I don't believe people are mature enough to truly grasp the impact their vote can have in bringing about change. Older voters are most likely plugged in to the day to day issuses that effect the…

The legal drinking age should remain at age twenty-one for several reasons. Many of these reasons are for safety. If people start drinking at a young age it can cause brain damage. Many people are aware that drinking below the age of twenty-one can cause brain damage. In fact, 74% of Americans would vote against lowering the drinking age (Engel). It’s still dangerous for anyone to drink alcohol, whether twenty-one or not. The brain is still forming until the mid-twenties (Beacon). With the…

Say No To Independence No. Say no to independence, I believe that scotland should not be independent and it should remain in the UK. I don't want to live in a country where i don't feel safe, where my government doesnt support our services, and i certainly don't wan to live in a country with a very poor economy. First of all scotland are alot safer in the uk as The Foreign Office noted that 'enemies of britain would use "uncertainty and distraction" in the wake of a yes vote to manipulate the…

Another book that we have to read together as a class, ugh. Class readings were never a passion of mine, but Strength in What Remains was something different. The story of a young man escaping genocide, boarding a plane, and becoming a successful person in New York City astonished me. Which made me think; if he had people in his life which made a difference, are there inspirational people who pushed and influenced me? Little did I know that there were so many more people who impacted me…

ended in 1954, does it still remain in the 21st century? More than 50 years later, we do see substantial improvements among African Americans in regards to segregation in schools. In 1940, only about 12% of African Americans graduated high school and 2% graduated college. In 2000, about 72% of African Americans graduated high school and 14.5% graduated college (The Journal of Negro Education). Despite these improvements, racial disparity between whites and blacks remain. Lakeside High school is…

multiple different arguments that people have created to try and lower the legal drinking age. One thing people do not realize is that there is a variety of reasons why the law was set to be at the age of twenty-one. The legal drinking age should remain at the age of twenty-one because underage drinking effects federal funds, the number of deaths due to drinking and driving has reduced since the law…

Egoism. Egoism is concerned about selfishness or self-interest, it has to do with individualism or you don’t have to live for the sake of others. This assignment or the case study is based on prisoners which if prisoner A confesses and prisoner B remain silent, the years which they will have to serve in jail won’t be the same or their sentences won’t be the same. Firstly I will start emphasizing on psychological egoism, secondly on rational egoism and then lastly on ethical egoism. The egoism is…
