    Discrimination is like looking at a box of crayons and not seeing all of the colours, this is a huge problem today. In the novel, “The Wednesday Wars” by Gary D. Schmidt the Vietnamese refugee, Mai Thi, gets discriminated by the students and teachers of Camillo Junior High in almost everything she does. Mrs. Bigio, one of the teachers at the school, changed her relationship towards Mia Thi from ignorance, to a delighted friendship. I think that Mrs. Bigio changed her attitude towards Mia Thi because she witnessed the students bullying Mia Thi in the halls and realized how cruel it is not to treat her equal to everyone else.

    Life can be strenuous and arduous. Throughout American history, minorities have struggled to live equally amongst the rest of society. During World War II, over 100,000 Japanese Americans were forced to relocate and be incarcerated. The federal government believed that Imperial Japan was preparing a full-scale attack on the west coast of the United States. As a result, many Japanese Americans lost their homes, businesses, belongings, and freedom. During the 17th century, African Americans were treated poorly and were forced to work without their consent. Despite the conclusion of the American Civil War, numerous Southern Congressional representatives enacted Jim Crow Laws to prevent freedom to all races. Maya Angelou experienced this sense…

    "Discrimination is a disease." This is a greatly popular quote straight from the mouth of Robert Staunbach. Many people consider the 1930's to be a terrible time of prejudice, especially to some violent extremes. Between racism, sexism, and social prejudice, discrimination levels were about the highest America has ever seen. This was a difficult time for African Americans in the U.S, and despite the decline of organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan, racism was as strong as ever, especially in the southern states. During the Great Depression, colossal unemployment and relocation forced a re-evaluation of sexism in employment.

Equality became farther and farther from the grasp of mankind. Hatred was without a doubt brimming in the air between the people of America, this was indeed one of of our darkest hours as citizens of the United States.…

    In the passage Thomas Paine states that American government is fair-minded. However, there are an overwhelmingly large amount of examples that prove that corruption does indeed exist in America’s political system. One relatively recent example of corruption was the bribery involved Rand Paul’s presidential campaign in 2012. In this event Jesse Benton, Paul’s political director campaign manager admitted to paying senators in exchange for their endorsement towards their campaign (Ballhaus). This example of corruption disproves Paine’s claim that the government in the United Stated is unbiased and fair. In his book, Paine also claimed that, “There the poor are not oppressed, the rich are not privileged…. Their taxes are few, because their government…
