The road to the United States Constitution was a long and arduous way, filled not only with uncertainties but also with lively debates and hopes for carrying on the republican spirit. With a deep-seated distrust in a powerful central government Americans placed great emphasis on the independence of their individual states. This suspicion was reflected in the states’ constitutions and in the power structure of state governments. Gordon S. Wood argues in his book The American Revolution: A History, that the constitutions of the states and the process of writing the US Constitution reflected a change in political thought. Looking at the process of constitution writing…
Kerry James Marshall’s Vignette#2 paintings have shown the black presence in daily life that is still very relevant in todays age. By creating an imagery which is based in conventional white romantic settings but with black lovers, he has highlighted the racist undertones that still exist today and shown how they have the right to do everything a white person can do. This is his way of standing against racism, and how love is found in all cultures and a happy couple who are so in love need not have any racist…
Imagine getting off the plane in the U.S. after fighting for 11 years in Iraq and dozens of people line the hallway and wave American flags to honor all the soldiers that returned from fighting. That is what it is like for most American troops that come back from fighting, but once they get their life moving from the battlefield they realize that the government that they fought for was not helping them after the fight. No matter how much the general public supports them it still will not help when going down the road. Even though some live life well and easy does not mean they all do. The government does not do enough for the veterans.…
I owe $40,000, I owe $60,000, I owe $100,000. Isn’t that a lot of money for one person to owe? Graduates have been faced with a serious problem brought about by the constant borrowing of money to gain a reputable education. The debt of loans varies from person to person but the extreme amounts that individuals owe is something the media finds worth gossiping about. Little does the public know, in reality, all the commotion and conversation about these debts are not accountable for the majority of college borrowers. According to A Lifetime of Student Debt? Not Likely by Robin Wilson, she intrigues her targeted college audience by giving examples and providing awareness that most individuals are paying back their students loans within a timely manner with just a few sacrifices. Wilson emphasizes that the real reason individuals have an outstanding debt is because “they are determined to attend their dream college, no matter the cost” (257). There are various reasons why students take out loans and Wilson is determined to clear up the confusion of student debt, she encourages college students to take out loans even with media’s negativity, and lastly she tries to enlighten this targeted college group that debts are repayable with additional sacrifices but in the end, that debt was the best decision they have ever made.…
Veterans are men and women who have fought to protect our right to be free. These people put their lives on the line; risking the loss of bones, organs or even memory. These are extraordinary human beings if I say so myself. They deserve to be treated like royalty, yet more than 67% of the homeless population have served for our country for at least than 3 years. 47% of them served in the Vietnam War. This goes to show how “united” the United States really is.…

If you fought for a country, don’t you think you should be treated kindly when you came home no matter what race you are? Black people who fought in World War II were still not treated nicely when they came home. It wasn’t just at home, Black soldiers were discriminated against overseas by their fellow soldiers. These “fellow soldiers” were White. Not only were Black veterans still discriminated against when they came home, They were treated even worse than average Black people. Black veterans should be treated just as nicely as White veterans.…
There are many people not only from our country that have served in the United States military, that eventually conclude their term to be released from the armed forces to then be considered a veteran. Those that have served and even though considered a veteran for serving in the military can only receive a veterans’ preference based on their dates of active duty service, and if they are discharged under an honorable or general discharge. Some would think that this preference is given to any who have served but then again for those that do not meet the qualifications they are not given the privilege. The veterans’ preference is remarkable to have since its benefit after serving to assist in finding a job after being separated from the military…
Though women have volunteered to serve in our Nation’s military since the American Revolutionary War and in each American war thereafter, female Veterans have consistently dealt with the minimization of their service and status when compared to men (Disabled American Veterans [DAV], 2014). Unfortunately, some of those same barriers still exist today, as female Veterans are frequently under-recognized for their roles and participation in combat, even by females themselves. Females serve in the military in the same capacity as men and experience similar, sometimes worse, health conditions as a result of their military and wartime experiences. Female Veterans of each era deserve equal respect and consideration, and should receive the specialized,…
According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV), nearly 200,000 American Veterans are homeless on any given night (Rieckhoff). NCHV - the resource and technical assistance center - reported that the number of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) - (OEF) veterans are becoming homeless much more quickly than Vietnam veterans. As the war in Iraq and Afghanistan continues the number of homeless veterans increases. The next generation of American Veterans is on its way home, and tens of thousands more will return from combat over the years to come. Upon returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan thousands of veterans are facing a new nightmare, the risk of homelessness.…

A. "We're supporting our servicemen and women in the field of battle..." These are our president's remarks from a November 6, 2003 speech. "With this act of Congress, no enemy or friend can doubt that America has the resources and the will to see this war through to victory..." And while President Bush recognized the need for an $87 billion dollar military supplement to finance a war on foreign soil, he did not request even a fraction of that amount to support those same servicemen and women who continue to fight battles on American soil after they return. According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans website, last accessed February 28, 2004 an estimated 500,000 are not supported because their battle is not recognized. It is fought under bridges, behind streets, and tucked away in dark allies.…
The Houston Disabled American Veterans service organization is a dedicated force in conjunction with other service organizations, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and City of Houston, to eliminate homelessness among military veterans that have served this country. The plight of the homeless veteran has continued to increase in the Houston/Harris County to a staggering 2,800 veterans walking the streets with no way to find the compassionate caring help necessary to eliminate this problem once and for all.…
