Until the 1850s the nation barely balanced the slavery issue.

Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.

It took just forty five days for United States citizens to acquiesce their rights to freedom and privacy for the sake of safety following the events of September 11, 2001. Forty five days is how long it took the United States Congress to pass a law that gave up the very concept of liberty upon which this country is founded. The morning sky was a brilliant shade of blue with not a cloud in sight in New York on that fateful day of September. That all changed at 8:45 AM when a Boeing 767 jet plane tore into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Eighteen minutes later, a second Boeing 767 bit into the sixtieth floor of the south tower. Screams and sirens pierced the air; thick, black smoke and flying debris ruined the perfectly clear

In the article There was no Offensive-Defensive Confederate Strategy Donald Stroker wanted to prove that Vandiver, a celebrated historian and professor was wrong about the strategy used in the Confederacy during the civil war. Stroker brought up points such as “The biggest problem is Vandiver’s first words: “His strategy was the offensive-defensive.” At no point does Vandiver present any evidence that Davis ever decided to prosecute such a strategy.” (Stroker, pg. 8) Stroker had jumped from explaining how the offensive-defensive could have possibly been a strategy in the Confederacy, to proving how it was not an option, and how there was no evidence to show that it was an option. The article Guerrilla Warfare, Democracy, and the Fate of the

“I won’t be getting into any trouble Ma, he said, wrapping some bread and cold potatoes and half a roast chicken in some tow cotton. Plus they will be paying me, I hear they give eleven dollars a month.” These were the words Charley Goddard used to convince his mother joining the Union army was the right thing for him to do. Although he was only 15 years old, too young to join, he decided to lie about his age when asked by the Union army officer questioning him; He was very dedicated to fighting for what he believed in and helping his mother after the loss of his father.

Another heroic civilian was George Walters, a dockyard worker who used a rolling crane positioned alongside the battleship USS Pennsylvania. When the yard was fired at during the beginning of the raid, he valiantly moved his crane back and forth on its track, effectively blocking Pennsylvania from low flying dive-bombers and fighters. Gunners on the Pennsylvania considered the dockworker a nuisance at first, but they soon realized that his 50-foot-high cab gave him an excellent view of incoming zeros. Using the movements of the crane arm, they were able to return fire against the enemy. Walters continued his maneuvers until a Japanese bomb exploded on the dock and sent him to the hospital with a concussion. This proves that people reacted

Now that the positive effects have been discussed there is still an entirely different set of outcomes that have to be looked at and considered. How could this potentially hurt the economy? What types of effects will this have on small businesses and their employees? What do these changes look like for individual families making minimum wage and individual middle class families? It is clear that there is a universal goal to better America, reduce poverty, and maximize social equality. However, this is a tricky solution to find and every potential effect needs to be considered. At first glance the raise of minimum wage looks like a potential solution, but at what point does it become ineffective?

It was reported by Kyle’s parents that he is almost completely unintelligible. Kyle’s mother reports that she believes he is not on the same communication level as his peers and she believes he is a late talker. Kyle’s pediatrician told his parents to wait another year before taking action. It would be beneficial for the clinician to gather more information from Kyle’s parents.

Many know the saying, “It’s just like riding a bike!” (Meaning it’s really easy and something you don’t forget how to do.) A group of welders created a bicycle with a slight, but very critical change. They altered the direction in which the gears turned. If you turned the handle bars to the right, the wheel would turn to the left, and vice versa. Destin Sandlin, an aerospace engineer, was determined to ride the backwards bike. Despite his best efforts, he could not ride the bike more than a foot before wrecking. Destin had been able to ride a normal bike since the age of six. Yet at that moment, he could not ride this unique bicycle. What made the bike extremely difficult to ride when he was capable of riding a bike since age six? He realized a
