America is the universal symbol of freedom. But is it really free? America at one time was defined by freedom, however now America defines freedom. Thus, altering the definition of the term. The founding fathers of America made specific rules for us to follow to keep peace and unity in our society, but over time those rules have been tampered with. Keeping only key components to make it seem as if it hasn’t changed. When the colonists from England traveled over to America they had a utopia of freedom waiting for them. They had no rules or guidelines to follow or anyone to impress. The freedom had no charge. It was free.

Today, money has made many people believe that you need to have a lot of money to live a great, happy life. People in the world, especially the people who don’t have as much money as the ones that do, look up to people like popular idols, because they have money. People think they have a great living life with all the money they have earned during their lives. In the short story “Why You Reckon?” by Langston Hughes, the author uses diction, colloquialism and dialect to express the fact that just because people have the money to go out to eat somewhere expensive or buy the newest clothes, does not mean that a person is happy all the time and expresses how people in the town talks. Money is what makes the world goes round and everyone has come

Freedom has been the central belief of America since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Since this day, America has worked hard to keep the idea that America is the “land of the free.” However, throughout the construction of this nation, freedom was defined differently by each person. Freedom to African Americans meant liberty from enslavement and land ownership. Freedom to Europeans meant freedom of religion and government. Freedom was not equally given to everyone in this nation. Although America is known to be the land of opportunity, people such as African Americans and Native Americans did not experience those opportunities and the definition of freedom equally with white Americans.

In the DeLeon v. Perry same sex marriage case we learned of the diversity and disparity in individual rights. As of recent, same sex marriage has become a major issue in the United States and the development of equality for all. Although there are many opposed to same sex marriage suggesting the validity of constitutionality not one individual is against the due process of law. The due process of law is derived from the 5th and 14th Amendments and were established to protect individuals civil liberties and basic rights to life.

Recently, gay marriage was legalized in all 50 states. Most Americans accept it; as America is becoming more open and tolerant of same-sex marriage. They believe that everyone should be able to love and be with whoever they want. On the other hand there are many who wholeheartedly disagree and believe that marriage is exclusively shared between a man and a woman. A county clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky with this belief refused to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple. This defiance of the law and deprivation of this constitutional right earned her six days in jail. It is now an argument of whether she had the right because of her religion or if she was wrong because she went against the law. I believe that Kim Davis was wrong because

Since the Supreme Court was established in 1789 it has directly or indirectly been a policymaker. The job of the Supreme Court is to interpret the Constitution, but inevitably by doing so, they have become policy makers that change the way citizens and the government interact; from Miranda rights to same-sex marriage the Supreme Court has played a major part in policy making. Recent cases that show the Supreme Court changes the way that the government and its citizens interact with each other are Gonzales v. Raich (2005), Salinas v. Texas (2013), and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015).

America is the land of the free, home of the brave. As an American I learned those words as soon as I started elementary school. America is the greatest country on earth… or is it? America has a history of oppressing people because of race, occupation, and heritage. Yet as a people we like to say that, that is in the past and now we are inclusive as ever and everyone is considered equal. This statement is simply untrue. America has had the same divisive mentality since its birth as a country in 1783. Over 200 years of legislation has not changed the mindset of America. The American mindset has never truly changed because people are still being oppressed, no one is completely equal,

Which is harder- keeping a relationship going or getting out of a relationship? While “Tips for Women: How to Have a Relationship with a Guy” by Dave Barry gives advice to women about the key to a successful relationship, “It’s So Hard” by Wanda Sykes discusses the struggle of getting out of a relationship. Barry and Sykes both use exaggerated truths and metaphors to create a laughable atmosphere for their readers. However, “Tips for Women” is funnier because Barry uses a man’s ignorance to justify the hardships of a relationship; on the other hand, “It’s So Hard” portrays one’s significant other as insensitive and uses crude humor, which makes the passage less comical.

As always your writing is succinct and a pleasure to read. I think I used the words brevity and clarity to describe your previous writing assignments and they still apply.

In the Current Development of the Law and Morality, we can see that not all people are convinced that the law should use to enforce a particular moral code. One of the examples are in the case of Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States. Even though we all know that act of abortion is most definitely immoral in the eyes of humanity many other countries also adopted the view of the judges from Roe v Wade.

Textbooks are a great source of information and are a great resource when learning the basics about various topics. We depend on textbooks quite often to teach us, and we put forth a certain trust in them that they are presenting accurate and thorough information. What if I was to

People can be blind to the differences there are from one person to the next. We are so fixed in our habits that we forget to think about how every one of our actions is influential to other individuals and situations. As I have practiced thinking like a sociologist over the course of four months, I have practiced looking at the world in a bigger lens rather than my narrow-minded viewpoint. C. Wright Mills coined the term “the sociological imagination,” which is the importance of viewing the world as a whole and how everyone plays a part in it is important to understanding your role in it. We can not just rely on ourselves and our own experiences to know what the whole world is all about. Being the second youngest of eleven children certainly

America is the land of the free. According to the first amendment, every American is given the freedom to practice any religious faith. Contradicting this amendment is the Separation of Church and State, which separates the United States Government from being biased towards one religion. According to these two statements, government officials are obligated to perform their duties regardless of their faith. Many Americans believe that a person’s religious beliefs should be able to determine whether or not he or she performs the duties of a government official. Most recently, this has come into light in Kentucky where a county clerk, Kim Davis, refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, even though it is the law of the land as determined by the supreme court. However, actions such as these are considered unconstitutional and irrational because they violate the separation of church and state, are a misconception

The central theme of media manipulation and the consequences of that are explained and uncovered in Ryan Holiday’s book Trust Me I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator. Holiday offers a brutally honest insight into the world of PR and journalism, one that many people can have trouble accepting and one that makes us doubt every form of media and advertisement around us and exposes the twisted relationship between online media and marketing. In the beginning of the book, Holiday admits that he is a liar, but asks the readers to believe everything he says. As mentioned in an article published by Poynter institute, “He has a point to make, but he 's like the addict warning of the dangers of drugs, all the while snorting a line and shaking his head at how bad it is” (Silverman, 2012). It’s a bold move asking to be trusted after admitting to
