    How do you pick one document out of the billions in our National Archives and label it as the most important? Can you look back at your life and pick only one moment that is the most significant to you? It is a daunting task, but logic follows that the most significant moment in anyone’s life would be the moment of his or her birth, for if that never occurred then other moments could not follow. Therefore, I believe that the document that marks the birth of our nation, The Declaration of Independence, is unquestionably the most important document in our National Archives.

  • What Are The Arguments Against The Principles Of The Declaration Of Independence

    472 Words  | 2 Pages

    The United States is upholding the principles of the Declaration of Independence in a considerably basic manner in today’s world. While the government continues to have a handful people in authority that do an exceptional job at defending the four principles used in the Declaration, there are nevertheless still some weak spots in supporting people’s rights to differ regarding personal beliefs, such as abortion. Consequently, while all four principles in the Declaration are being upheld, the United States is doing this in the most limited fashion. To begin with, the Declaration’s third principle, which states that the government gets its power to make decisions and protect rights from the people, is instituted today by means of voting if one is eligible, although we as the people

It stops with me,’ which moves against such chauvinism. Racialism takes different approaches through physical and silent methodologies; refusing or being unable to take a respectful approach against it provides a free pass for the racist parties to continue with their prejudicial banter. Minor parties and immigrants face everyday crisis regardless the institution or public space for being from a different race – simply, for being different.

  • Critical Race Theory By Tara Ana Yosso Summary And Analysis

    1033 Words  | 5 Pages

    In this book, author Tara J. Yosso demonstrates how institutional power and racism affect the Chicano/a educational pipeline by weaving together critical race theory and counterstories. Critical race theory is a framework used to discover the ways race as well as racism implicitly and explicitly shape social structures, practices, and discourses(Yosso, pg.4). Counterstories refer to any narrative that goes against majoritarian stories, in which only the experiences and views of those with racial and social privilege are told. The counterstory methodology humanizes the need to change our educational system and critical race theory provides a structure for Yosso to base her research. This results in a beautiful hybrid of empirical data, theory, and fascinating narratives that works to analyze how forms of subordination shape the Chicana/o pipeline, while also exposing how institutions, structures, and discourses of education maintain discrimination based on gender, race, class and their intersections.

    In the essay, “A Genealogy of Modern Racism”, the author Dr. Cornel West discusses racism in depth, while conveying why whites feel this sense of superiority. We learn through his discussion that whites have been forced to treat black harshly due to the knowledge that was given to them about the aesthetics of beauty and civility. This knowledge that was bestowed on the whites in the modern West, taught them that they were superior to all races tat did not emulate the norms of whites. According to Dr. West the very idea that blacks were even human beings is a concept that was a “relatively new discovery of the modern West”, and that equality of beauty, culture, and intellect in blacks remains problematic and controversial in intellectual circles
