America is better than it was 50 years ago. America has long been hailed as "the land of opportunity". While this has proven true in the past it is more true today than it has ever been before. Many forms of discrimination that have plagues the country in the past are nearing their ends and more people have the ability to live a happy life here. The country is learning from the past and building for a better future each and every day. America is better now because there is more of a opportunity

was no longer just a two-day process. The way I have learned to articulate myself while writing at the college level is much higher than I could’ve previously imagined. Throughout each paper that I have written in my Writing Rhetoric and Discourse class it has taken me quite a few days‚ to a week‚ in order to get enough feedback. Then again I also feel that the professor has pushed me to go deeper into a subject rather than just skim what is off the top. Albeit my college writing career has just begun

Nowadays‚ we live in such a multicultural society‚ that one would hardly believe that words such as discrimination and racism still exist. They are so deeply-rooted in our community that they often go unnoticed in our everyday lives. The movie “A Class Divided” shows us how discrimination can hinder the further development of our society. Each one of us should learn how to be more tolerant toward diversity and this process should be two-sided. Why do stereotypes exist and more importantly why do

CLASS HISTORY Most of us would agree that the days we spent in high school were certainly the best days of our lives. Memorable ones I suggest. It was in high school that we made our grown-up friends‚ competed to excel‚ hoped for places in the sports team‚ toiled to lead in the student council‚ and yielded to take part in the school organ. It was also in high school when we first felt and experienced to love – puppy love as people say. Thus‚ it is indeed in this chapter that we learnt lessons

There were many local giants of industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that I believe left indelible impressions on our Western Pennsylvania

The warm sunshine that was streaming through the classroom window was doing nothing to help my concentration as I sat in class trying to pay attention. The teacher’s monotone voice droning on about some dead men who fought in a battle hundreds of years ago was slowly putting me to sleep. I was taking notes as best I could when suddenly I would realize that my eyes were closed! I opened them quickly and looked at my notebook. The last line I had written on the page ended in nonsensical words

November 19‚ 2014 My first expectation I had for this class was to be drilled with material on how to communicate. However I was wrong‚ instead‚ each and every class every student was encouraged to communicate back to the class. The different layout for the classroom each week made this class like no other that I have taken‚ because we never knew what to expect. This class helped me face my fear of talking in front of people. Every class meeting‚ I faced my fear and slowly started to progress from

The poem "Let America Be America Again" by Langston Hughes purposefully is reminiscent of Walt Whitman’s "I Hear America Singing" in which Whitman is optimistic about this land of democratic opportunity. Hughes‚ however‚ writing from a black man’s perspective‚ is much less optimistic about what American has been or will be. While Whitman’s’ poem was very unstructured in blank verse‚ Hughes’s poem is more tightly controlled with rhyme‚ tone‚ rhetorical questions‚ and more unified with repeated anaphora
