Since the creation of the United States of America, the topic of race has been a predominant issue. When you go to the bathroom, a restaurant, or even get a drink from the water fountain, there is not a sign that says Whites only or Colored on it. If these events still happen today, riots, killings, lawsuits, strike and every other form of civil unrests are imaginable. It would be a nightmare and a disaster for most of us.The Civil […]
The political parties were developed under the draft out of constitution in United States. These parties later played the major role in enhancing the people’s rights and freedom.

Freedom of speech gives the people the right to say how they feel about anything that they want to address without the fear of getting in trouble with the law. According to Lombardo freedom of speech is “a basis in the continuation of health and […]
Before the 1850s, adoption was an informal process where all the parties knew each other. The first adoption law passed in Texas was in 1850 and it required the adoption process to be filed with the county clerk. Adoptions were originally designed to help infertile, middle-class, and largely white couples but over time adoption process were forced to change to adapt to social needs. These changes have been occurring due to a shortage in adoption. Same sex families aspire to […]
School violence is characterized as any physical or verbal attack on one while being on school property or grounds. The amount of school violence has been a huge issue in our society for so long, many could say it’s become ordinary. Since the year 2000, there has been a recorded number of 64 shootings incidents that have involved public occupied areas. With results with almost 5 shootings per year. Ninety-four percent of the 64 were school-related shootings. This number has […]
Fortunately, all of that changed thanks to the 19th amendment. The 19th Amendment gave white woman the right to vote when it was passed by Congress and was ratified on August 18, 2018. The 19th amendment is a law that impacted the U.S. in a good way and a bad way. Unfortunately, just like any other law the 19th amendment has its pros and cons. A benefit about the idea that women could vote is the fact that their voices […]
Andrew Jackson was a very respected president who during the 2 terms he served was apart of major controversies of how he handled and followed through with the land disputes with the Cherokee Nation and other Native tribes in Georgia. With all of this starting with the United States finding gold in Georgia which ultimately led the U.S to want to recognize it as a state. But the problem with this was that many Native Americans inhabited Georgia but the […]
The use of school uniforms dress code in the U.S. started in the early 1900’s for parochial and private schools (Meleen, n.d.). In 1969, the US Supreme Court made a decision that both uniform proponents and opponents used to support their arguments. Specifically, in Tinker vs. Des Moines Independent Community School case, students in the Des Moines public schools were suspended for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War (Pulliam & VanPatten, 2013, p. 318). Therefore, the Court considered […]
There is a thousand to a million dollars being spent to put someone on the death penalty and to see it out. Truman Capote is against the death penalty you can tell on how he writes about it. I agree with Truman Capote, to be against the death penalty. Truman Capote does not really say whether he is against or for the death penalty but the way he writes the story and talks about the death penalty you can tell […]
How much punishment is enough? Nowadays there are many heinous crimes being committed, but the issue is whether juvenile criminals should be tried as adults and given life in prison without the possibility of parole or if their cases should remain in juvenile courts where they may receive a more lenient punishment with room for growth and maturity. Not only are juvenile’s brains still developing through this time of adolescents, but mandatory life sentencing without parole was deemed unconstitutional in […]
I chose this event since this time in history was a turning point in America. Prior to President Abraham Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, slavery was a huge trade in the United States. But Abraham Lincoln’s main goal was to unite both halves of the Union. Since the entire purpose of fighting the Civil War was to unite both sides of the Union, President Lincoln made statements in August of 1862 that if he did not […]
I argue that Lincoln performed everything in his power and to the best of his abilities, to abolish slavery and redirect the nation’s opinion of it. Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth President of the United States. He was also known as Honest Abe. Unlike most presidents, Lincoln’s family was not rich or well educated. However, Lincoln did go to college and became a lawyer in the state of Illinois. His mother had passed away from Milk Sickness when he was […]

There has been much debate in the twentieth century about what in 1889, Rudyard Kipling termed the most ancient profession in the world (Kipling). Prostitution is as old as human civilization, but with the exception of Nevada, who leaves legalization up to individual counties, the United States continues to be one of the few nations in the world in which prostitution is still forbidden by law (NRS Section 201.354). While it remains a crime in every other state in the […]
The members of the Women’s Social and Political Union are determined to obtain the right to vote for women by any means and after relentlessly campaigning to achieve this aim, we feel that the impact of peaceful methods seemed to have been exhausted and instead need a different, extensive approach. By enforcing militant action, the WSPU’s tactics had to transform into civil disobedience to show womens need for a political change. When the ‘rush’ on Parliament in October 1908 occured, […]

Pros and Cons regarding the new amendment that our congress has passed. Women would be able to start up their own business or get their own job and have their own carrier without asking her marriage partner permission she would have more opportunities in this country but she could also have her own medical care transportation vehicles and more associations. The rights of the amendment are considered a bit weird and misunderstood but at the same time that could lead […]
Prior to 1920, women in the United States did not carry the right to vote in political elections, for the privilege of voting was solely for caucasian men. Women across the country desired for equality- to have the social, economic, and political status as men. Unfortunately, these ambitions were seen as irrational and continuously neglected by many men. These brave women sought to prove that they were capable of more than just tending to children and carrying out household chores. […]
Immigration is a controversial issue in America. The Legal process of working as a non-immigrant/immigrant with a visa can be a costly and risky process. Many foreigners, from third world countries, that go through the process can be exploited to work unbearable conditions, live like cattle, and have little to no representation in court; which inevitably leads to visa overstays. The process of getting into America through a work visa is complicated,but we are going to focus on one visa, […]
American with disabilities struggled to fit into society before the 1990s. Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. Of 1973, banned any discrimination toward any person because of race, ethnicity, and/or sexual based, but it didn’t specifically speak for Americans with disabilities in particular (Mayerson, 1992). It wasn’t until almost 17 years later that the American Disabilities Act (or ADA) became a law in 1990 (Thompson, 2015). This Act marked one of the first civil rights laws that addressed the […]
In period one (10,000 BCE – 600 CE), the belief systems of Confucianism and Legalism spread throughout the Middle East/Asia. As these systems grew and developed, they began to affect the way political structures were run and the way the society worked and operated. These systems were essential to history during this time. Legalism had the idea that harsh government was the way society should be run as Legalists believed that humans are more inclined to do bad instead of […]
Also, caging of the bird in the house, demonstrates another instance of men dominance in the society over the women. Symbolically, the living of bird in the cage, demonstrates the kind of life Minnie was living, a life of minimal no freedom (Rudnick 388). She was not allowed to freely move out of the house. Murdering of her husband was the only way she had to the freedom. This illustration describes the level of confinement of the women in society […]

Income inequality is widening the gap between the wealthy and everyone else. Distribution of income has been established as a key determinant of social mobility. Social mobility is defined as the movement of peoples between social classes in a society. Social classes most directly affect education, opportunity, and income. The income gap has grown increasingly since the 1960s, and […]
According to the recent UNHCR report, there are over 68.5 million forcefully displaced individuals in the world, with 24.5 million of them being refugees who have fled their homes to seek protection against violence or persecution. In September 2016, this problem was exasperated after 4.8 million Syrians fled their homeland amidst a gruesome civil war (Ngo, 2018). Although there are efforts by many countries to alleviate this problem, the Syrian refugee crisis continues to exasperate an already existing global refugee […]
ABSTRACT. It has become a reality that most refugee situations are found in the worlds’ most hostile environs. This is due to the continuing violence and persecution of refugees and thus they cannot return to their countries. For over twenty years Kenya has been receiving a large refugee population. The perception of refugee issues has taken a different stance from being a humanitarian issue to a security threat in return this has made the government of Kenya to take the […]
The imprisonment of the immigrant separates the families of the immigrants, given that the children, women, and men are jailed in different prisons upon the prosecution. The freedom that they sought by entering America as refugees is no longer available. The hard policies against them have contributed to the violation of the human rights for these asylum seekers, who search for and are in need of humanitarian assistance from the American government.During the first week of adoption for the zero-tolerance […]

Simon Wiesenthal investigates this question along with other authors in the The Sunflower. Simon was in a Nazi concentration camp during World War 2. One day during his imprisonment, he was sent to remove waste from a German army hospital, where he was then called over to the bedside of a soldier. The SS soldier, Karl, was mortally wounded and was […]
