Don T Be Hatin Analysis

124 Words1 Page

In the article, Don’t Be Hatin by Trisha Liu, the so-called America the free seems to contradict itself. “The land of Freedom and Equality...is where oppression ends” (Liu, paragraph 2). Over the years, obtaining equal rights for the citizens that were a part of America has been common.“same-sex marriage...is the newest form of hate”(Liu, paragraph 2). America has equal rights for everyone but, for some odd reason, a lot of people decide to discriminate gays. “Same-sex couples don’t have the legal rights traditional couples do...That’s what discrimination is”(Liu, paragraph 3). America is supposed to be the”getaway country”. Which means that everyone has equal rights no matter how unique. So if gay marriage is illegal, then same-sex couples

    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.

  • It's So Hard Analysis

    988 Words  | 4 Pages

    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. In the first section of “Tips for Women,” Barry discusses the communication

    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 tell you the textbooks lie!

    To be a free country means that the government does not control what people say or do for political reasons and where people can express their opinions without punishment. America is indeed a free country. When the American Founding Fathers were writing the Declaration of Independence, they were deciding how they wanted The United States of America to advance and how it would officiate as the years proceeded. In the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence it states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

    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.

    According to the Constitution, people can’t be stripped from their inalienable rights which are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Despite the implement of the Constitution, “freedom” was defined differently in the 1980s than it was in the 20th century. Back in the 1980s, “freedom” was still not seen as a right to all people due to some of the laws such as the Immigration Reform and Control Act” that were implemented to go against the Constitution. While, in the 20th century, “freedom” was viewed as a right since “freedom” was offered to every people no matter what their race, their color of the skin, their religion, and their sexuality. For example, former president Barack Obama was able to make same-sex marriage legal, lifted the restriction on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” barred employers for firing their employees for being either transgender or having a different sexuality, allowed everyone to have universal access to ObamaCare, and had a diversified cabinet that helped Obama make tough decisions to make America the most affluent and strongest country in the world.
