Similarities Between Woodrow Wilson High School
Examining the Differences and Similarities
Woodrow Wilson High School and Genera Vanier are two insanely different schools. However, they also have some really food similarities.
To start off, Woodrow Wilson High School is way more violent. I think this is because lots of the student there are involved with gangs, guns and other stuff like that. However, Mrs. Gruwell changes their perspective on things like that, as well as academic perspectives. At General Vanier, we aren’t as violent because we know that fighting, gangs and guns are wrong. In Woodrow Wilson High School they all thought it was okay to do those things.
Something both schools have in common is that we both use a hall passes. For example, at General Vanier we have them at all

    In the early years of this great nation we find to amazing men that wanted to preside over the United States in ways no others had attempted to do as of yet. They both had great ideas and in some ways were similar and yet others miles apart. They believed their way was gospel and this country would perish under the other so to speak.

    The presidents of the roaring twenties were Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. All of the presidents during the 1920s were republicans. They also pro-business and they felt no need to regulate businesses in American. They wanted to keep taxes down and business profits up. They helped the American manufactures by imposing a high tariff on imported goods. The economy was rolling strong during the twenties which made it easy for these presidents. They all rode the American boom into the ground. This is way the Great Depression follows the roaring twenties. Most of the historians claim that the presidents of the twenties were just mediocre. This would be a tough opinion to argue considering what is in store down the future…

    In Fremont, students are forced to deal with squalor conditions and absurd rules. The staff, students, and even Kozol see no reason as to why it should be this way. The reason is brought to light with a discussion between students, which Kozol instigated. Mireya, a bright young girl at Fremont, confessed to Kozol that she did not want to go to the factory to sew like her mother but wants to go to college. A student named Fortino chimed in telling Mireya that the factory needs people to sew. He tells her that because she's "ghetto" she is already destined to sew at the factory. His words are crude but truthful. Fremont has twenty fewer school days than other schools and sometimes students need to take on part-time jobs just because they need the school credits. The school has more substitute teachers than actual teachers one substitute even saying “Just yesterday I was subbing [for] a substitute who was subbing for a teacher who never shows up,” (721). Many teachers want to teach interesting classes, such as women's studies, but can't because of the classroom shortage. Kozol shows a school that is not designed to help these children learn it's made to make them serve. The inequality in Fremont is appalling. Kozol is not showing the reader a school but an X-Acto knife designed to cut away at a child's passion until they conform and…

    Woodrow Wilson spoke out against a newer form of economic domination known as the indirect control of a colonized area. Repressed ethnic and national groups around the world heard Wilson’s call for "national self-determination" as the herald's trumpet for a new era as the 14 Points list the foundation for world peace. Despite their introduction after World War I in 1918, the 14 points are still relevant today as these ideas establish peaceful ideologies in other countries worldwide to maintain their people. Woodrow Wilson made the Democratic Party a “party of reform” by creating the modern presidency and approving the most complicated economic program with federal oversight ever created up to that moment. This economic program included banking reform under the auspices of the Federal Reserve, tariff reduction, federal…

    Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were the frontrunners in the 1912 election. This election “changed the country, demonstrating a victory for progressive reforms as both Progressive candidates (Wilson as a Progressive Democratic governor of New Jersey and Roosevelt the head of the new Progressive Party) accounted for 75 percent of all votes” (Bowles, 2011). Although both men believed in Progressive philosophies, they were complete opposites in their political views. Roosevelt was considered the “Warrior” and advocated for a New Nationalism. Wilson, on the other hand, was…

    I believe that both presidents Woodrow Wilson and Donald Trump are both racist by current standards. They both did racist things while they were president, which they should have been careful about because it caused numerous issues and contempt. Racism can cause debate amongst individuals and gatherings. Presidents should offer peace and not racism to the country their giving a chance to be in control of. Every president should set a good example among their residents.…
