After Mulholland’s aqueduct operation was done, the World War I began. Since the United States was busy to settle down and controlled the urbanization, US should had been remained neutral. However, to be prepare the surprise attack, US wanted to be able to protect themselves. During the World War I, it was the best time for US to promote more trade and expanded their market toward the world. To do so, federal governments granted money for developing ports and facilities. According to Josef W.

It was true that it was part…
As seen in figure 1., the manifestation of neoliberal ideals is clearly demonstrated in this screenshot. In the comment written by Prakoso, the reasoning behind wanting immigrants to enter the country is consistent with the reasons in a neoliberal lens. Prakoso emphasizes the importance of immigrants contributing to the economy and how this could be done with an effective filter. This is translated more clearly through the requirements incoming immigrants must meet in order to enter Canada because of the focus on global competitiveness and economic growth. This view is not specific to Prakoso as highlighted in a CBC article written by Angus Reid. In the article, it is said that, “the vast majority of Canadians prefer a policy that will enhance…
Donald L. Niewyk’s fifth and sixth chapters both deal more with outside perspectives and outside reactions than it does with those who were persecuted. The fifth chapter, “Bystander Reactions,” offers four different arguments as to why bystanders acted they way they did during the Holocaust. The sixth chapter, “Possibilities of Rescue,” discusses three different viewpoints on what foreign governments could have done to prevent the Holocaust. These two chapters conclude Niewyk’s book The Holocaust and wrap up the final sequence of events surrounding the Holocaust and the camps.…

Grant is asking four men if he could see Jefferson and speak to him. These four white men who have decided to have complete control over how the rest of Jefferson’s life is going to go. Four white men that have decided that they are better and superior to Grant because of their skin color, despite the fact that Grant is an educated man who teaches, which is respectable. In fact, they think that they’re so much more superior than Grant that they kept him waiting for two and a half hours. Even after the blatant disrespect they showed Grant, he is still debating how to treat this discussion. Grant chose to act like the teacher he is, which was very smart. He showed that he was a teacher through his speech, how he formed sentences, his word choice,…

Stanton as she used her knowledge from Willard’s Troy Female Seminary to further become a women’s rights activist.…

James Bain and Jonathan Barr were convicted for crime they have never committed. Like many others, false allegations cause innocent individuals to be arrested for crimes they have not committed. Results from DNA testing have been used as great evidence to help people reach their freedom from being behind bars. To prevent the conviction of innocent individuals, DNA tests should be mandatory to take when proving one’s evidence.…
Opening doors of hopes and dreams for thousands of people, the discovery of the New World rapidly broadened the minute and stubborn perspective of the world people once knew. Promising of wealth, new lives and freedom, many sold their life to servitude for a taste of America. But instead of wealth, they found debt. Instead of a new life, they found death. Instead of freedom, they found the endless cycle of poverty. Although few made gains, many, like Richard Frethorne, were left impoverish and destitute. Frethorne’s letter supported Hofstadter’s adverse views on indentured servitude in three main criteria: the disappointment of the New World, the inescapably torturous life of an indentured servant, and the countless deaths that diffused throughout the journey.…

To begin with, Grendel’s last words are “ Poor Grendel’s had an accident,” I whisper. “So may you all” (Gardner 174). Grendel is cursing the animals around him. For instance, when Grendel illustrates that he doesn’t like animals. This is when he has several incidences with the animals. Likewise, Grendel yelled “I smile, threatened by an animal already dead, still climbing” (Gardner 140). Grendel felt threatened by the animal, therefore he had to kill the goat. The goat trespassed on Grendel’s rock, making Grendel dislike the goat because the goat wouldn’t leave his rock. Also, Grendel implies “Why can’t these creatures discover a little dignity”(Gardner 6). The animals bother Grendel a lot of times. Grendel is just trying to be alone. He doesn’t…
In conclusion, Bruni pulls together a significant amount of evidence and quotes. However, his choice of words and his own personal experience can lose the young readers in terms of relating to the responder. Through personal experience, I can see where Frank Bruni has good intentions. A majority of high school students would agree they need a few more hours of rest. Lastly, The knowledge gained would be the lack of sleep is factored on many sources, too many to pinpoint; however, the pressure placed on teens is definitely a major cause. The adults telling many assiduous students to take on more work should view the high demands of the kids needs rather than the child’s reports card.…

I feel like the first sentence of Earl’s statement is true because those two-thirds of adolescent and adult usually start drinking at a young age. That would make it easier for them to get attached to alcohol . Having people take a written test just to get a drinking license could help but it wouldn’t help as much. I also think that stores would lose money because not everyone that drinks is going to have a drinking license. I disagree with Earl Rochester argument.…
