The question on why was T. Hall got singled out for scrutiny is not a simple one in my eyes. T. Hall may have been singled out for a number of reasons. The first being because T. Hall was crossing dressing thus causing confusing within the community. The second being T. Hall born as a hermaphrodite (or intersexed) and saw herself/himself as both a man and a woman which put him/her under more scrutiny, although this only came into light after she/he was under scrutiny . One of Last thing I understood being reading the information is because she/he would take on the roles of both a male and female at different points throughout life. This caused T. Hall’s neighbors to have a trail to try to help them with the indentation of T. Hall’s role/place

T. Hall was singled out because then gender identification was based on what clothes you wore and your role in the society. Since T. Hall had both gender organs T would wear both men and woman’s clothing. Since residing as a male in Virginia, when he would wear woman’s clothing people became confused about his gender he was then brought to trial for gender identity to be determined. The women in the trail used to help determine the gender of T was on the side that he was a male due to T having male organs. However, since the male organs did no function like a typical male would, the males of the court found him to be a female. This stirred up arguments within the court and the Judge's final ruling was that T was to have neither male or female

In 1760, when George III was made kind of England, he saw that Britain are in debt because of the seven years’ war, he decided to make a way out by making the colonies be part of the payment. Likewise, he increases the taxes and make sure they did not enough partner to trade with so that they can gain more profits. To the people in the colonies they felt it was a cheat and violation of “Navigation Act” (Foner 186). Just because they did not have a representative in the parliament. In 1761, James Otis was a lawyer, who stood against the writs of assistance to combat smuggling (Foner 186). The writs were a search houses if there is an evidence of smuggling goods. In addition, some people who do not support the stamp Act oppose it and differentiate between “internal taxes” from the stamp duty, brought about the idea that the parliament do not have the right to impose any thing on them or their trade. Above all, they do not have right to tax American since they do not have
Many families encounter the worst of sports related injuries, such as being paralyzed or even death upon playing. The NCHSAA should be more cautious upon high school athletics and make it a safer environment towards all contenders within the divisions. It is not the NCHSAA fault upon injuries, but they can make the biggest improvement upon sports to try and prevent many risky injuries. Kids will go through the pain of an injury, not to only sit and get ready to play again, but to learn an important lesson.
On March 6, 1857 the U.S. Supreme Court rule against Dred Scott who was suing for federal citizenship. All nine justices agreed that African Americans who descended from slaves could not enjoy the political community established by the constitution or have the right to federal citizenship.

Imagine a student-athlete gets accepted to Greenville University with a 3.5 grade point average and 30 on the ACT. The student is planning on playing soccer and has worked incredibly hard in the classroom and on the field to make this dream happen. However, the school can only offer 5,000 dollars per year in scholarships because they must offer the same 5,000 dollars to the student athlete who got a 2.0 grade point average and 16 ACT. Does this sound fair? Fair or not, this is the definition of equality. Greenville University operates on the idea of equity. Greenville University is focused on making it possible for every student to attend the university, no matter their grades, ethnicity, parent’s income or any other obstacle that may arise.
When you see yourself living out your dream, the thought of what you're most passionate about pulls you in. Passions in one's life change based on what had affected that person. Dreams are defined to change. However, the benefits of these thoughts is that they belong to you and only you. Not one person's opinions matter but your own. Chris McCandless simply was living out his own ideal life, the way he wanted; not to the idea of his parents, his friends or of society. McCandless wanted to escape society and civilization which he felt was tying him down, while also trying to discover himself. McCandless is not by any means a wacko. He was simply defying society and its ideal expectation it holds upon us as a whole.
Having to live and act a certain way towards the outside world when you feel completely different on the inside would make one feel trapped and restricted. Restricted from being free to be who they really are. Everyone deserves the freedom to have the opportunity to live life the way they feel they were born to live it. Why do we criticize Chris McCandless for doing that same thing? I can relate to Chris’s desire to live life according to his dreams, not his parents.

Fowler accurately discovers the (arrogant nature of the Americans) through actions of U.S. who believed they actually helping the Vietnamese people. When Fowler is asking Pyle about the marriage plan with Phuong, Pyle replied, “As a matter of fact I’m hoping to get special leave, then we could get married at home - properly” (Greene 147). Pyle portrays his belief that marriage in the United States is more proper than marriage in Vietnam which symbolizes his biased opinion that U.S. is better than any other country. Similarly to Pyle’s unreasonable opinion, the U.S., during the Vietnam War, blindly believed that it is doing the best for the Vietnam, even though that is not actually the case. Fowler, on the other hand, cares about the view of
