From a very young age I was taught that being Italian is so much more than a race. Being Italian means being family oriented. It means understanding the scarifies made to get where you are‚ and never forgetting where you came from. Being Italian means caring for loved ones more than yourself. But above all‚ being Italian is about being loyal. Though my Italian blood comes only from my fathers side of the family‚ our Italian heritage is ever-present. Both my mother and my father worked very hard

society was becoming increasingly less democratic in terms of property distribution and more democratic when it came to social structure as well as politics and religion.

Mahatma Gandhi once said‚ “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Being an American is being free and open for change. Change is almost like an occurring thing. Sometimes I wish that maybe instead of making change‚ we could understand what we have first‚ almost take recognition. Then suddenly‚ we muster up something in a moment and then we feel it’s not good enough so we build onto something new. Why can’t we understand what we have‚ rather than trying to make something new? We have people

Being American means a plethora of different things. Whether it is positive or negative‚ we are all part of a great country. The US of A gives everyone the freedom of religion‚ brings people’s dreams to life‚ but America has its flaws. In America‚ you are open to any religion‚ whether it may be Islam‚ Judaism‚ Buddhism‚ or Christianity. We may have freedom of religion‚ but in most cases that’s not true. Since 70% of America is Christian‚ every other religion is dwarfed by that colossal

Someone could ask me what me‚ “What does being an American mean to you?” Well up until now I haven’t put much thought to it. I don’t know much about being an American‚ what I do know is we have rights. As Americans we don’t have monarchy.

Man was free to choose and was ultimately held responsible for his own actions. A wise man will make good decisions in his life; an ignorant and stubborn man won’t be so fortunate. The play “Oedipus Rex” by Sophocles demonstrates that this concept of free will

How far is it appropriate to consider The Importance of Being Earnest as a Satire on the hypocrisy of ‘polite’ British society? It can be argued that Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays (2000) explores in depth the idea of satire on the hypocrisy of ‘polite’ British society. Wilde uses dramatic language to amplify the satirical nature of the play; by using irony and satire he is able to mock the polite Victorian etiquette. The play is set in middle class Victorian London
