Then, the author compares Lee’s personal anecdote and the new Koryolink 3G network to show that “North Korea is trying to catch up.” The tremendous difference between Lee’s experience in 2008 when North Korean security officers confiscated her iPhone at the airport, and the new North Korean 3G network and policy which allows foreigners to bring their cellphones to the country, shows the significant fact that there are now more openness in North Korea.…
I agree with the premise of the essay that the four generations discussed have very different points of view about work and the preferred ways of management. In my country too, this all four generations have very different points of view about work and the preferred ways of management. The Veterans, Baby Boomers, and Generation xers these three generations' people have completely different points of view in lifestyle, their ways of view at work and home, conversation, and relationship than my generation's people in my country. For example, my grand mother and grand father always dressed properly, and done their work on time. Consequently, my cousins never dressed properly on their work, and do not done their work on time even if they have time…
Britain’s financial problems accumulated over a long period of time. However after the victory following the French and Indian war, Britain’s financial problems increased tremendously since war was not cheap Even though Britain was victorious; there success came at a great cost. For instance, on January 1763 Britain was 122 million pounds (a little over two hundred million dollars in U.S. currency) in national debt. Because of Britain’s enormous debt which got to a pinnacle because of the French and Indian War, they placed numerous controls on the colonies including acts, constraints of commerce, strict enforcement in legal tender, and more oversight with the British military support to provide Britain revenue to pay down the national debt.…
As Joe Barton once said, “Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation’s founders heros.” Our flag is not to be knelt upon, but to stand as one together, remembering how Veterans risked their lives everyday to go to war and give us freedom today. The least we can do is to thank you. You gave me a future, freedom of speech, and an education, and so many more things.…

In the story "The Things They Carried," Tim O 'Brien talks a group of soldiers in the Vietnam War. He does this by describing the items that each of them carries with him during the march. The things that the soldiers carry with them are both physical and mental items and what these things are depends upon the soldier. They carry the basic "necessities" for survival and the bare minimum to make life as civilized as possible. But they also carry memories, and fears, and it is mental items like these that are the main focus of the story. The weight of these items is as real as that of any physical ones, and unlike those physical objects, they are not easily gotten rid of.…
What is America’s gift to my generation? This is a good question with many possible answers. One might say that America gave their generation freedom of speech. While another might say that America gave their generation freedom of religion.

America has given my generation the freedom to own weapons to defend ourselves and the freedom to go wherever we want and be whoever we want. America has given my generation…

After the fall of British colonial rule on America, there was a desire to detach Americans to their British parental rule. Many desired to establish an “American Culture,” one that was to be defined by its promotion and support for the engaged, citizen who performed their republican duties. From inventing an American language and its own literature, to an American education, as well as the writings for the nation’s history were to establish this sense of “American Culture,” in which numerous individuals passionately advocated for. Unfortunately, these advocates for creating a sense of a national culture in America did not fully succeed due to the strong sentiments towards British and European culture, as well as the downplay of the role in…
The Civil Rights Movement was an era devoted to activism for equal rights and treatment of African Americans in the United States. During this period, people rallied for social, legal, political and cultural changes to prohibit discrimination and end segregation. Civil rights are defined as "the nonpolitical rights of a citizen; especially those guaranteed to U.S. citizens by the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution and by acts of Congress" (Wikipedia). The 13th amendment of the Constitution abolished slavery in the U.S., and the 14th amendment insured African Americans of their legal citizenship and equal protection under the law.

(Give Me Liberty)…
