Peaceful resistance has a positive impact on a free society. The best way to get things accomplished is to make your voice heard and to fight against topics you feel are unjust. However‚ the main component to being successful is keeping it peaceful. Too many times‚ people protesting get violent and take it too far. With the recent election of Trump‚ there have been riots with people harming others‚ burning buildings‚ and smashing windows. This has done nothing but make a common political party turn

The things I carry are the guns I will never fire. I’ll never receive training from extremely attractive girl instructors on operating AK47s‚ M4s‚ and M16s. I’ll never drive a tank to rescue hostage soldiers from the battleground or ever lead a special mission in the Gaza strip. I’ll never be able to pilot a plane‚ and I’ll never experience the abominable disgust from eating frozen‚ stale corn three times a day. The things I carry are inevitably overwhelming questions. Almost every day I receive

He would thumb through the contents of the bag during class sometimes‚ when no one was looking‚ just looking over the objects‚ making sure they were all there; none missing. He would sometimes unstrap the Velcro of his brace‚ refitting it over and over again. Changing it mere millimeters every time; getting the size perfect without

Why would anyone prefer to be regarded as an inferior on the basis of an uncontrollable biological factor? Why would anyone desire to be confined to archaic and detrimental societal norms?

One need only look to Abraham Lincoln to best respond to the question‚ "Does peaceful resistance to laws positively or negatively impact a free society?" All too often‚ government is a term applied erroneously to some faceless inanimate mass. As if government is more a thing than a collective‚ decision-making‚ living‚ breathing organism. You often hear people blaming societal problems and failings on the ineffective "government." Government does not‚ nor can it exist without people. For those

Most issues in the United States tend to be sore topics. One of those issues is gun laws/ gun carry laws. In the state of Kansas an open carry law is in the works of getting passed.
