Over such long periods of time‚ words become manipulated‚ many times to the point where the meaning changes entirely. This is the case with the word “ghetto.” The word ghetto can be traced all the way back into the 1500’s. This word has infiltrated itself into today’s society and culture seamlessly. However the current definition of the word is far from what the original definition was. Perhaps due to the connection that the word ghetto has with urban culture‚ the word has evolved over time to have

Happiness is not an easy word to be defined. For each individual this term may differ or it can even be contrastive.

Every time one thinks of it she/he may get different ideas. However in each definition love‚ health and friends would be present and these cannot be bought by any money in the world. We all know that everyone needs

In theory I hoped Law and Order would be a suitable source for an argument that television and

to Nigga: Not Bad After All" When some think about the word nigger they immediately think about negativity and some might even venture to say that it is a "bad" word. It takes you back to a time when blacks were oppressed and demoralized. When blacks were looked at as inferior and not worthy to obtain equal rights in America. But that was decades ago and it is now the 21st century. Not only have we changed the spelling of the word‚ by dropping the er and adding a‚ but the definition has changed

Everything was so new to me; white and black faces‚ tall and muscular people. Most of all‚ their eyes attracted my attention. I came to the United States seven years ago. Back then‚ I didn’t fully understand
