I, Roger Smith, am bringing this petition to light to portray how America treats its minorities. The irony of how America is lauded to be this liberal and free country meanwhile they forced and dragged African Americans into a life of slavery and inhumane treatment. Husbands, wives, even children are being taken away from their families by force to obey white supremacy. This is the kind of power that creates this sort of hierarchy and damages the meaning of what a liberal tradition should resemble.
When you see a solider in his or her uniform, you are proud that they are serving this country to protect our freedom, securing our country, and defending democracy worldwide. The solider can come from different branches of the Military. The one you might be familiar with is the U.S. Army. These soldiers are well respected and prepared to serve our country whenever and wherever needed, combat-ready at all times, and trained to counter any threat, anywhere. In 2007, the United States Army department published a recruitment ad for U.S.
The Confederacy gained support after shots rang at Ft. Sumter on xxx 1861. Before that event, Arkansas preferred to remain neutral and hoped for a peaceful outcome to the divided country. President Lincoln’s decision to issue a call for troops signified an attempt to use violence to preserve the union, and triggered a vote that would change Arkansas forever. The elected leaders of Arkansas by a margin of 69 to 1 passed a disunion ordinance and chose to stand with the Confederate States to oppose Northern aggression, unfortunately there loyalty went underappreciated as Arkansas’ geographical and political significance went overlooked by confederate leaders and their war strategy. This strategic error resulted in limited government support
Lyndon Johnson was persuaded that liberal patriotism and the force of the government could change society. His confidence developed out of his energetic encounters with destitution levels in Texas, his political apprenticeship amid the New Deal, and his longing to go even further than Roosevelt’s legacy. When he became president in November 1963, after John F. Kennedy’s demise, Johnson acquired the early initiatives to deal with destitution that the Kennedy organization had been considering for some time now. With high energy and extensiveness, Johnson announced a war on poverty in 64 and pressed enactment through Congress to build up the Office of Economic Opportunity. In his speech, LBJ traces his vision and objectives for “The Great Society”,
The North and South both have alternate viewpoints and react differently when informed about the Emancipation proclamation. To begin, the North had a very strong desire to end slavery in the United States as a whole. Once acknowledged of the Emancipation Proclamation many believed Lincoln spoke the words that beset represented their beliefs. Lincoln states, "… I do order and declare that all persons help as slaves within said designated state, as parts of state are, and henceforth shall be free. Many slaves were abused in ways that could not be imagined and have done countless hours of hard labor and received no benefits whatsoever. Thinking of this Lincoln began to speak in the favor of slaves saying that he will not allow slavery to continue
Brown: The Last Discovery of America, written by Richard Rodriguez, tells the fascinating story of Rodriguez’s struggle to find an identity. It capitalizes on the idea and future of Brown as a whole. Brown is not race or blood, it’s culture, but also a place for people who have lost their culture. To help stimulate readers Rodriguez appeals to all types of rhetoric, but the predominant feature throughout the book is pathos. This appeal to emotions helps the reader to pity (confusing) not only Rodriguez, but the others affected as well. This strategy is vastly effective because Rodriguez utilizes pathos to create persuasive arguments which are made even more effective by his unique style of writing in short, choppy sentences and casual tone.

In the article “The Coddling of the American Mind,” writers Greg Lukianoff and Jonathon Haidt address today’s college campus culture of oversensitivity and how targeting microaggressions by shielding sensitive topics from students may be modeling cognitive distortions. Cognitive distortion is a way our mind twists words to convince us of something that isn’t true to reinforce negative thinking. Since college administrators changed ways to try and block out microaggressions on campus it is actually teaching students to think in distorted ways. As a result, students are learning lessons that are bad for themselves and their mental health. However, Lukianoff and Haidt believe that cognitive behavioral therapy is the next big thing to teach good
