    I agree with Jordan Maxwell, I agree with him because the evidence for this quote can be found back then during the times of slavery. When slavery was an everyday thing, slaves were not allowed to learn and go to school, they were supposed to be deprived of these things that the white folks would get for a reason. The reason is that whenever someone becomes educated, they know what should and shouldn’t frighten them, the know the extent of one's ability, and once they began to teach themselves they became unstoppable and were able to receive independence for…

    “With the first pick in the 2003 draft the Cleveland Cavaliers select Lebron James” these few words would change the face of professional basketball forever. Lebron James was born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio to a 16-year-old mother, Gloria Marie James. Right away it was easy to notice that Lebron James was definitely an outlier.

    Stuart Hall, the author of “Encoding/Decoding”, explores the relationship between encoding and decoding messages, explaining how one component of media can be decoded in several ways. As individuals, we give meaning to the things surrounding us based on our own beliefs, values, and experiences, making room for numerous perspectives. Basketball idol, LeBron James and supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, were featured on the cover of Vogue Magazine, March 2008 issue. Following the release of the March issue, James was acknowledged for being just the third male ever to appear on Vogue’s cover, and the first African American. What would be considered a major accomplishment for anyone, especially a young athlete has now become a very controversial issue. The cover of the magazine has produced both positive and negative viewpoints. While some support James in his memorable accomplishment, others critique him for not being more careful with his image. How is it possible that the same image could have such opposite reactions? This derives from how individuals give meaning to the things around us because of our beliefs. When two people can be shown the same image and interpret it in to completely different ways, as seen in the controversy with LeBron James on the cover of Vogue magazine, it is apparent that their experience have influenced their way of decoding.…

    Gary Nash

    In the essay written by Gary Nash, he argues that the reason for the American Revolution was not caused by the defense of constitutional rights and liberties, but that of "material conditions of life in America" were not very favorable and that social and economic factors should be considered as the driving factor that pushed many colonists to revolt. The popular ideology which can be defined as resonating "most strongly within the middle and lower strata of society and went far beyond constitutional rights to a discussion of the proper distribution of wealth and power in the social system" had a dynamic role in the decisions of many people to revolt. The masses ideas were not of constitutional rights, but the equal distribution of wealth in the colonies that many felt that the wealth was concentrated in a small percentage of the population in the colonies. The Whig ideology that was long established in English society had a main appeal towards the upper class citizens and "had little to say about changing social and economic conditions in America or the need for change in the future." The popular ideologies consisted of new ways of changing the distribution of wealth. Nash in his essay continued to give good evidence to prove his point that the American Revolution was not caused by the defense of constitutional rights and liberties, but by improper distribution of wealth. During the pre-American Revolutionary times, the "top five percent of Boston's taxpayers controlled 49 percent of the taxable assets of the community, whereas they had held only held only 30 percent in 1687." As evident by this statistic, it is clear that the wealthy were getting wealthier and controlling more of the taxable assets of the community. As the wealthy increased their assets in the cities, at the same time, a large class was "impoverished city dwellers." A huge contrast between the wealthy and the poor were forming and becoming more apparent from the beginning of the eighteenth…
