Timeline of United States history

First of all, he went into a war that he wanted nothing to do with but he knew he had to help his country. He gave up some of his popularity and went to war against the British considering that it was legitimately the “first ‘unpopular war’ in U.S. history.” Madison’s contribution to humanity was that he was one of the first to “establish, once and for all, respect for American rights on the high seas and emerged from the war with more support than he had first inaugurated in 1808.” So, Madison…

integrating into our society. Immigrants come for prominent opportunities, some come being legalized and others come illegally for various reasons -better education and lifestyle, one they couldn’t have their native countries-. Migration to the United States is a part of our country. Our democracy should allow for undocumented immigrants to have a higher education. Undocumented immigrants today are not allowed the access to a higher education, and this should be changed. Our country is made up…

The Kennedy-Nixon presidential election of 1960 made history with “The Great Debates”, the first ever televised presidential debates. The election’s outcome was greatly affected by these debates. This was one of the most important elections in American history because, for the first time, candidates were being judged not only on their ideas and opinions, but also on their physical appearance and ability to perform on live television (History.com Staff). This new form of media greatly affected…

is widely believe that health care should be a citizen’s right. It is difficult to predict whether health care in United States is a right or a privilege, because the health care in United States is still going through extensive transformation. Affordable Care Act (ACA) has definitely provided more and more people an access to care they need, which implies health care in United States is becoming more of a right than a privileged. Is the Affordable Care…

job filming this documentary and the questions that he asked people in America and in Canada about guns. He asked many questions to people that they couldn’t answer because no one knows the real reason why the homicide rates are so high in the United States of America. The summary of the movie was basically interviews with people and a few celebrities in America and normal people in Canada about the gun laws, homicide rates, and the tragic shootings at Columbine High School. I see that back in…

Reading about the struggle for immigrants to receive healthcare is pretty disheartening. You imagine an individual or a family who goes through all the work of getting to the United States, establishing themselves with a job and a halfway decent place to live, and then working their hardest to contribute to society, but at the end of the day, they can’t get healthcare coverage either because of their status or the fact that they work jobs in a sector that provides little to no coverage. The…

Racial inequality is a major problem in the USA and has only seemed to continue growing. When we take a look at the history of America we see it to be riddled with misfortune for those who have some pigmentation in their skin. African made in to slaves, Asians lured under pretenses of money only to end up in mines or working on the railroad tracks, Latinos escaping the cartel to end up being pushed around, and the list goes on. We see the Latino and Black community being smeared while the white…

In 1970, the United States government came up with the word to describe a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. This is a word we are all familiar with when it comes to referring to this group of people. This word is “Hispanic.” At the present time, the United States Census Bureau defines race in five categories and does not specifically define Hispanic with a category of its own. The categories include: white…

new eras of heroes. Now, we find superheroes in almost any form of media. Writers routinely revisit stories to deepen their mythologies and, sometimes, to try to correct faults from the tunnels of the past. Because these characters live throughout history -- many of them are over 60 years old – but unfortunately they don 't have the luxury of living outside of it, or do they? “Comic books have always reflected the historical time period in which they were produced, with a particularly strong…

As the global hegemony, the United States has both a great deal of power and plenty of responsibility. The United States is recognized all throughout the world as its superpower and it has legitimacy to back it up. Even if we were in a decline from being the global hegemony, no other country comes close to our GDP. Many suggest that China is the next hegemony and that they will be the next authority, but no one can really tell by just using raw data alone. As we discussed the debate of what…
