    When it comes to sports, a competitive mindset is key. In American football, it’s hard not to win without communication and teamwork. In the NFL playoffs of 2015, the New England Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 for the AFC Championship. In a game that originally portrayed the Patriots as an offensive force to be reckoned with, ended out to be a game that goes down in history. After further investigation, the NFL found 11 of the Patriots' 12 footballs in the game to be underinflated by about 2 pounds below the NFL’s requirement. Now whether the allegations are determined to be true or not, it does raise some speculation about the truth of the AFC champions. The NFL began looking into the issue because modifying the footballs could provide a competitive advantage, compromising the integrity of the game. People might accept this article, Deflategate: An Entire Scandal Based on Insecurity, in Pats Pulpit by Rich Hill as simple journalism that tells the truth, but it actually is attempting to persuade readers into thinking that cheating is tolerable if you’re good at something. Although it seems harmless and inspiring, claiming others have insecurities actually promotes a particular worldview; that maybe it is a larger liberal war on success.…

    In 1863, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry was formed. The 54th was the first Northern black volunteer regiment in the Civil War. Before the Emancipation Proclamation, blacks were not allowed to serve as soldiers in the civil war at all, but the Emancipation Proclamation decreed that any able African-American man would be allowed to serve in the armed services of the United States. Overall, the 54th Massachusetts helped change the outcome of The Civil War.…

    In this film there are shown two sides of the American Revolution. The Americans and the Britishers had equally contributed to the American Revolution. My understanding of the American Revolution was limited to the disturbance created by the British troops, but after viewing this film my understanding has extended to believe that colonists had triggered these reactions from British Parliament. The Stamp Act, a decision made by British Parliament, was to impose taxes on the colonies in order to gain more money, because England was in need for it. The Americans viewed this as British Parliament obtaining their power over American’s liberty (“Boston, Bloody Boston: The Revolution”). My understanding of American revolution was limited to the Boston…

    When the American colonies were under British control, many people realized how unfairly they were being treated. Colonists had no say in any of Parliament’s decisions. While some colonists were very upset about this, others simply sat back remained loyal to the king. These people were known as Loyalists. The colonists who became fired up when their rights were taken away were called Patriots. Since they fought for freedom, glory, and the end of colonies’ suffering, colonists should have joined the Patriot side.…

    The Minnesota Vikings may not have gone to the Super Bowl before, but that doesn’t mean they are one of the worst teams in the NFL football league. In fact, each season they are improving to greater their chance in the Super Bowl. The Minnesota Vikings had a strong streak this past year by closing out at week five as the only undefeated team left in the NFL. Even fewer people would have predicated this after the quarter back Teddy Bridgewater went down with a devastating knee injury. Regardless, of their scoring drive, the Minnesota Vikings are an outstanding team because of the head coach Mike Zimmer, offensive coordinator Norv Turner, and great receiving depth.…

    Taxation without representation was not just an economic grievance for the colonists. They had learned by reading John Locke and the "Commonwealth men" that all governments try to encroach upon the people's liberty. If the people remained "virtuous," or alert to their rights and determined to live free, they would resist "tyranny" at its first appearance.…

    After the French and Indian war, British parliament executed several laws that seemed unfair to the colonists in order to recover from the expensive war. Laws consisted of housing British troops and paying taxes on items like tea, sugar, stamps, etc. The British government argued that the best option was to raise taxes on colonists. On march 5th, 1770 colonists reached a critical point in which they felt the need to take violent actions towards the mother country. On this particular day colonists opened fire against the British troops which became known as the Boston massacre or the incident on king street. News regarding the incident spread throughout the colonies via letters or images like Paul revere’s popular depiction of the Boston massacre.…

    As a wise professor once told his class about a Lincoln's biographer, "I went to bed with Mr. Lincoln every night for . . ." I also choose carefully the person for my thoughts as Thomas Jefferson. The author of the declaration of independence, a great statesman, an aristocratic diplomat, a Virginia nationalist, a philosopher, a scientist, an architect, a plantation and slave owner, this multi faced personality is as intriguing as meaning of being an American itself. Thomas Jefferson was born in Virginia colony on April 13, 1743. He was the third child and eldest son of Peter Jefferson and Jane Randolph. His father was a surveyor a map maker, a magistrate and a member of the Virginia House of Burgess. His mother's aristocratic background assured mild manners and social standing. Young Thomas…

    In Bush v. Gore (2000), a divided Supreme Court ruled that the state of Florida's court-ordered manual recount of vote ballots in the 2000 presidential election was unconstitutional. The case proved to be the climax of the contentious presidential race between Vice President Al Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush. The outcome of the election hinged on Florida, where Governor Bush led Vice President Gore by about 1,800 votes the morning after Election Day. Because the returns were so close, Florida law called for an automatic machine recount of ballots. The recount resulted in a dramatic tightening of the race, leaving Bush with a bare 327-vote lead out of almost 6 million ballots cast. With the race so close, Florida law allowed Gore the option of "manual vote recounts" in the counties of his choosing. Gore opted for manual recounts in four counties with widespread complaints of voting machine malfunction: Broward, Miami-Dade, Volusia, and Palm Beach. However, Florida law also required that the state's election results be certified by the Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, within seven days of the election (by November 14, 2000). Three of the four counties, frantically laboring through the tedious manual recount, were unable to complete the process by the deadline. On November 14, however, a Florida circuit court ruled that while Secretary Harris must respect the deadline, she could legally amend the certified results, at her own discretion, to reflect any late returns from the outstanding counties. Harris promptly announced that she would entertain late returns only if their tardiness was justified by each county in writing by 2 p.m. the following day (November 15). The three outstanding counties-Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward-immediately sent an explanation for the delay. Secretary Harris, however, rejected their explanations and announced that the final Florida vote count would be announced Saturday,…

    On March 5, 1770 a specific event took place that had impacted many lives. This event is known as the Boston Massacre. The Boston Massacre was considered to be a street fight that took place when a mob started to throw snowballs, stones and sticks at a squad of British soldiers. In the end, five colonists resulted in death. This was caused by the developing tensions in the American colonies that had been growing ever since the Royal troops had first appeared. I believe that the Boston Massacre was an act of self-defense. I say this because, the British soldiers’ lives were under threat and had to use equal force. In addition, a massacre is when many are killed and it consists of an innocent/defenseless side. In the Boston Massacre, both sides were not defenseless. This was not murder either because, this event was not planned or was meant to happen. The British soldiers weren’t intending to kill these colonists. Lastly, manslaughter wouldn’t be reasonable because, the British soldiers killed these colonists in act of defense/protection.…

    Prior to the Revolutionary War, many American Colonists dealt with a conflicting issue of whether to remain loyal to the crown or join the Patriots in their fight for Independence. The colonists, most in the North, were taking the side of the patriots while others were not. The question was whether the colonists were being pragmatic or were they just being anti-liberty if they weren’t choosing a side. It is important to determine the reasoning behind why they would remain loyal or join the Patriot cause. Unaware of the eventual outcome of breaking away from the British government and if a war were to break out, colonists were afraid of opposing the British government. How would the new government be formed, would the new government be able…

    The Founding Fathers of the United States created a masterpiece. They were able to create a government held together by a Constitution that was run by the people, and was also able to keep the government in check by building a system that was able to change with time. The Founding Fathers were able to pull this off because they understood that human nature has not changed through history, and that people will look to tear down others in order to bring themselves more power. Because of this they needed a system that would limit the government, but also give them enough power to maintain peace within a nation. They achieved this goal, or at least came very close to it, through the Amendment…
