John Brown has always been a controversial antebellum topic. Some have called him a hero for his bravery in the face of battle and death, and some have called him a villain because of his difficult-to-justify actions. John Brown has been called a martyr because of his good motives, but he was really an egomaniac, obsessed with the idea of destroying slavery. Brown’s history of violence in Kansas and Virginia proves this. The Pottawatomie, Kansas massacre, which John Brown planned as revenge for the sack of Lawrence, and orchestrated, was a preemptive strike against pro-slavery settlers.

In a society where one’s country has the ability to enforce the seclusion of the “equal and unalienable rights” of its people based on the color of their skin is one in which change has to be demanded. Having to be constantly petrified of the idea of walking down the street due to the possibility of being lynched by the Ku Klux Klan and the constant stigmatism of the “Jim Crow Laws” provoked Martin Luther King Jr. to fight for this change. Consequently, Martin Luther King Jr., an American Baptist minister and leader of the civil rights movement, impressively delivered his prominent “I Have a Dream” speech. His passion was not only noticeably demonstrated on the day he delivered his ideas, but also on the written words that can be seen today. In this work, Dr. King effectively uses the rhetorical appeal, Pathos, with his implementation of anaphora, parallelism and metaphors.

Flaws in the American Judiciary Sysytem Flaws in the American judiciary system lead to unfair trials and verdicts. Examples of this issue are shown in both productions of 12 Angry Men and To Kill A Mockingbird, as well as the book To Kill A Mockingbird. In both 12 Angry Men and To Kill A Mockingbird, there are two African Americans put on trial, and both are given an unfair trial because the juries and judges have prejudices against African Americans. Jurors are also heavily influenced by moral cowardice, or avoiding taking a principled stand for fear of the disapproval of others. 12 Angry Men and To Kill a Mockingbird depict trials that expose the flaws of the American judiciary system in the fact that juries are not always consisted of the defendant 's peers, judges and juries both have racist views, and juries are influenced by moral cowardice.

Burgess wrote the novel after reacting in horror to the reports of plans to use behaviour modification with American prisoners and the calls of British politiitians for similar actions. As a direct extension of his ideas on free will and the repressiveness of the state Burgess could not accept the classical and operant conditioning behaviourist paradigm which included aversion therapy advocated by BF Skinner (Newman,1991). Burgess described Skinner 's book Beyond Freedom and Dignity, which was published in 1971, the same year as Kubrick 's film, as 'one of the most dangerous books ever written [because he] seems to miss the whole point of life

Today I will discuss the history and argumentation of assisted suicide. Assisted suicide, also known as euthanasia, is a hot-button issue that was brought into the light by Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Dr. Kevorkian was a controversial activist who tried to legalize assisted suicide under the argument that every- one deserves a humane death. There had been much debate on the issue, and our legislatures have explored what the practice entails and the moral implications of assisted suicide. However, it is still illegal in all of the United States.

Ali became one of the most hated people in the United States of America for protesting going to Vietnam. He was called to the courts to have the issue solved. Many people were surprised and upset that he did not want to fight for the country he was born, but the people did not have a real clue of why Ali was protesting the Vietnam War. Colin Kaepernick, with all of the recent killings of African-Americans in the United States, decided to sit during the National Anthem. He did this for the first two preseason games unnoticed.

In Washington D.C. on July 25, 1962, the Supreme Court ruled in Engel v. Vitale’s case that prayer in class violates the First Amendment of establishing religion in a government facility. A year later, the Supreme Court ruled in the Abington School District v. Schempp to prohibit the Bible in any public school for similar reasons. Decade’s later; school districts have been fighting religion in their schools creating a conflict with religious families and school boards. In 2007, Time Magazine head of religion, David Van Biema, wrote an article on “The Case for Teaching the Bible” in public schools. In the article, David believes that the Bible should be taught in public schools because it’s the foundation of the western culture, alluded to in literature, and it has been an influence on the modern and classical arts of today’s society.
