Our heroes are out there fighting for America. But exactly what are they fighting for, because it seems like our own government is hiding information from us. They say that it’s to protect us. Is it really? A government that we call one of our own and one that we trust has deceived us. For the families who are losing their sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers, etc.,who are in the war, are just told that they should be proud of their protector protecting the United States of America. After the soldiers die, the only remembrance of the fallen is the burial. Only families remember their deaths while the government moves on with their business and they say that they care for our people. To me the United States should have never gone to war with…
One very controversial topic in the U.S. is Healthcare. The affordable care act was passed during the Obama administration on March 23, 2010.The purpose of the law was to extend health insurance coverage to the 15% of the U.S. population who lack it.

The affordable care act bans insurance companies from denying health coverage to people with pre-existing health conditions. It allows young people to remain on their parents' plans until age 26, and expands eligibility…

The actions have been highly praised by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and West African countries. Therefore, China is playing an increasingly important role in international affairs. Similarily,if a country wants to enjoy its right of freedom, it must take up the responsibilities and obligations of international affairs.…
Poets often use their work to explore the strong emotions that surround relationships and the writers of ‘Sister Maude’, ‘Praise Song for My Mother’ and ‘Nettles’ did this exceptionally well. In my opinion, I consider these poems to be the most inventive as they have used a variety of different techniques in the use of genre and form, that are unique and engaging.…

Peaceland outlines the conventional structural flaws in the present blueprint of international peacebuilding. The community populated by expatriates is one with its own “time, space and economics.” The occupants are inducted from organizations across the globe with distinctive philosophies and ideologies.
