Nevertheless, there is a turning point, as he states in his article, "Given the level of violence, one can hardly blame people for keeping their mouths shut, but we must also realize that if we don’t nip bad behavior in the bud, it only grows, creating more intimidation, and the vicious cycle continues". Here Carson agrees that it is ok to be angry and speak out about the issues yet, something should be done to end the dreadful behavior. while rejecting the act of violence, he lists several ways that factor in success regardless of the environment; he picks three reasons from the list and explains how the can bring a
This violence and crime has turned tourist city into a war zone for the past decade and it paints a terrible picture for a city whose main financial income is its tourists.

1. Ishmael Beah’s violent experiences educated me about what the intended outcomes or aftermaths of violence are. One of these is causing unrest and coercing the government to change policies and abide to their terms. Another one is making people afraid and thereby establishing dominance. Another effect it can have is making people feel ashamed of their own powerlessness of being unable to save themselves, their families, and their friends.
Boston Massacre is a beautiful place to live. But there was something changed! The people changed, the rules changed and everything seems different. And I knew that there is something would happen to Boston. And you can see the people are tension or nervous and some of them were upset and sad.
El Paso is a very culturally diverse city that borders, its sister city, Juarez. The city has given me a unique view that is very different than most people in the United States and the rest of the world.

I had a live-in maid until I was about ten. All of my maids only spoke Spanish, so in order to communicate with them I had to figure out my own way to speak to them so they could understand me.
Black on White, and White on Black violence was a regular occurrence. Many knew that a riot was impending due to the signs that were around, especially regarding the racial tension. What could be added to the tension was the growth of the city with regard to the mix of people as mentioned earlier – ex-confederates, “backwoods preachers, Southern white evangelists, and shouters” was part of the population. This meant that Detroit became a melting pot not only for religious and racial intolerance, but also for agitators such as the Black Legion, and the Ku Klux Klan. Brown’s view gives one an overview of Detroit that was perhaps built on the wrong foundations, and which led to what it became in the twenty-first century as well – the fourth city of the United States that died because of its race intolerance.
Racial discrimination between white and black people has been a key tenant of U.S. culture. Many have attempted to resolve this issue, through both violent and nonviolent measures. In the end, nonviolence proved to be superior in implementing change both in law and in society. For example, the American Civil War was quick, lasting only four years; yet, it induced massive casualties and ultimately changed nothing to improve the life of a black person. People still killed them as they pleased and treated them without humane respect.

Ok the first, I was born in Laredo tx spent a good few years living there then we moved to Austin. Then my dad wanted my mom and me to move to Arkansas I was still 4 or 5.

If you are feeling a little confused that’s okay, this is judgment free zone. I am twenty three years old and on the verge of graduating this December, And my interpretation of messages changes every day that I mature and grow as a person. Everyone is different and entitled to their own unique interpretation of messages. For example, I am Mexican American I was born in Las, Cruces New Mexico but my family is from Mexico.

Locked in a dormitory which became my only survival resource, for the disaster and dystopia that surrounded me in every inch of my eye, and which soon became my worst fear in the entire planet, death. Terrifying, frightening and alarming was the ambiance that was perpetuated in my conscience.

Suddenly, I woke up from my worst nightmare, a reality which could never be forgotten.
