    There were two presidents in office during this era. William Howard Taft, the 27th president, was in office from 1909 to 1913.During Taft's term everyone compared him to Roosevelt, the previous president, and would always criticize his ways. People always talked smack about how he supported big business, although no one ever mentioned how he was the first president to protect federal lands on oil had been found. Also how he protected coal infested lands. Some people may say that he was a bad president because he kept the government from enforcing the 15th Amendment, which gives black people the right to vote.…

    My case is the one of fourteen year old James Ingraham vs. his middle school principle Willie J. Wright Jr. James’ parents are suing the Middle school their son attends (Charles R. Drew Junior High School) because they feel that their son was condemned to cruel and unusual punishment and has lost his liberty as a citizen of the United States. On October 6, 1970, Ingraham and another student were called into the principal’s office. James’ offense was failing to leave the school auditorium stage when instructed to do so by a teacher. Once in the principal’s office, James announced his innocence against the accusations of the teacher. Mr. Wright was unconvinced and ordered Ingram to bend over the table so that Wright could spank him using the discipline paddle. Ingraham refused to do so, and Wright began to force James’ head down on the table. The assistant Principal, Lemmie Deliford, assisted Wright by holding Ingraham’s legs. Wright then proceeded to strike Ingram with the paddle over 20 times, resulting in Ingram getting a hematoma. The hematoma resulted in Ingraham being hospitalized and requiring rest for eleven days.…

    Throughout The Odyssey, the audience views Odysseus in many ways, one way as a mighty hero. Greek culture strictly defines a hero while modern culture possesses a looser definition of a hero. Joseph Campbell defines a hero as, "someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself... The hero performs a courageous act in battle and saves lives." Through the lens of a Greek, Odysseus mirrors the picture of heroism. However, twenty first century humans consider Odysseus a famed adventurer. While many different people label Odysseus in different degrees of heroism, the readers find themselves both agreeing and disagreeing with Campbell's statement defining Odysseus as a hero, each individual reader must formulate their own personal opinion on how they view Odysseus, agreeing, disagreeing, or a little bit of both.…

    H.L. Mencken once said “The average man doesn’t want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” The U.S had come in contact with many situations that have tested their power that has affected us also. I believe with Mencken, that safety is much more necessary than having freedom with the kind of society we are in now. The U.S. has fought to provide better standers for everyone that benefits them also. Without safety, how would we go by everyday thinking that something bad would happen to them? That what if someone would do them harm or they get fired from work? Then what…. What would freedom do them there? It wouldn’t do anything, you would be dead, or living in the streets because no one is guaranteed their safety at work. But there are times, when safety becomes an issue in some cases.…

    No I personally do not think that the government should be allowed to have the power to regulate and control what we eat everyday or what is in the food that we eat. I believe this because if they ban all unhealthy foods then we could never have a treat such as a candy bar, chocolate cake, or even just a pie occasionally. Also they might ban someone’s favorite food. Another reason is that it is perfectly fine to have junk food and sweets as long as you have them in moderation and don’t go and eat a ton of sweets at once. I don’t think that it is right for people to tell you what you can and can’t eat; nobody should be allowed to have that much power. Also people can eat healthy or not by their choice and the government shouldn’t interfere with it. Also if they control what they eat they could make it very expensive and there would be nothing that anyone could do about it. I do however believe that the government should put up signs and facts about the negative effects of food like McDonalds or other fast food places so that people will know and be aware of what they are eating and putting into their bodies along with the consequences of doing so. Another reason is that this is supposed to be free country and not a dictator ship or a community like in The Giver where they control every little thing that you do or eat. Also in America we have the freedom of choice like choice of religion, how to dress, what jobs we want to have, and who we can and can not talk to and it would not be right if they started controlling those things starting with what we can and can not eat and consume into our bodies. What the government is trying to do which is to eat healthy is a good thing but the way they are trying to do it by controlling what we eat is completely ridiculous because if they can do that and say it is for a good cause then they could just control every little thing that makes us different and individual just by saying that they are doing it for a good cause…

    Undoubtedly, the most important component to human health and vitality of oxygen. In fact, human life would not be possible without it: oxygen produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and within ATP our bodies would immediately shut down. When a person breathes, there is an exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. The oxygen, which is taken in by the body from the atmosphere around us, is picked up by the hemoglobin in the blood and distributed to all of the body’s trillions of cells where it is then used to fuel the fuel and release energy (ATP or adenosine triphosphate).…
