How Does Government Affect My Life
The United States makes rules so that no person in this world is harmed none the less. People all over the world steal, lie, and do other bad things like that. Its hard to know why the United States does it. Social Security and Medicare were introduced to deal with the poverty and lack of access to health care of senior citizens. Much of the technology we now enjoy was initially developed through federal research and development money. Without all the infrastructure established with and supported by federal taxes, there would be much fewer worthwhile jobs for Americans. That’s a good introduction to give you an idea of how government helps and how much can they do for you. But I decided to write something that almost all of my classmates are going to write about… Because, for some of us that’s the reason of being here, that’s the one and only reason reason we are writing this paper and almost all of the students in the United States of America know how to take benefits on It, yes I’m talking about scholarships, aids, grants & awards.
The plan for me was gaining scholarship money, and I never thought it was going to be that simple. I worked hard and applied to every scholarship that I qualified for even for financial aid. Eventually, after all the hard work and time spent on doing lines, writing essays, creating videos, and filling out endless applications. I started seeing results, why? Thanks to the government that helped paid for my school. Scholarships including financial aid that went from saying “You were NOT selected as an applicant” to “Congratulations! We appreciate your interest and applaud for your accomplishments”. I believe that it has been an overall great experience, because what they want you to do, it’s simple STUDY. Evertyhing that they do for you is consider your academic, leadership and community service achievements. If I was to

    PETERLOO

    The disenfranchised working class took to the streets on the 16 August 1819 to protest over their lack of suffrage in the hard economic times. Historian Robert Poole has gone as far as to say that Peterloo was one of the defining moments of it’s age1. For what came to be known as The Peterloo Massacre became a clear indication of the lack of ways in which the working class and peasantry could voice their political beliefs: They did not have the vote, the protest was violently suppressed- and following The Peterloo Massacre newspapers and other publications were censored or shut down if they were deemed to contain any seditious messages. It seems by looking at the sources that one of the most notable shifts in political voice is the censorship and suppression the government issues with the massacre and following it. However, Peterloo did embody a shift towards universal suffrage and a broader political voice, with women veering into the political spectrum for the first time, taking part in the protests and rallies.…

    The people living in the United States now have different values and ideas on how to deal with government aid to its citizens. In the Gilded Age it was considered a bad thing to ask for government assistance because most people believed that a person was responsible for their own fate in life. This idea was heavily influenced by the concept of Social Darwinism. That concept seemed to reinforce the social inequality in the United States. It gave the upper classes a way to refuse to give aid to the poor and to possibly comfort themselves…

    I am a rising third year student and am interested in a being considered for an institutional scholarship. I am from a lower middle class immigrant family, where neither one of my parents finished high school; however, they still firmly believe in the importance of education and constantly encourage me to make it my number one priority in life. Growing up, my family lived paycheck to paycheck and always struggled to make ends meet. My father actually just moved to Texas this past weekend because his job was relocated, and he had no other choice than to move because we would not be able to survive without his paycheck. I learned at a very young age that things would never be simply handed to me; if I want something done, then I need to work…

    The United States government should be enforcing the laws it makes. It should be sticking by the constitution. The government shouldn't be providing its citizens with so many free services. It's great for the people receiving it but the ones who aren't are ultimately paying for it. The government taxes too much. There is taxes on just about everything. The government charges the working people taxes that pay for it. How is that fair? It's not. The ones paying for it are out there working hard for a living and barely…

    This is also where you’re supposed to meet all sorts of new people, entirely different from those you’ve seen in Gratiot County. Where you live in a little bit bigger of a city. Where you network. Where you figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. Actually going to college, is very important. A fact that in many cases, like my own, is overlooked because of the money. Why pay so much more to go to a college when community colleges are so much cheaper? Is it really worth the tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt? For me, it really truly is. But I’m not going to just leave it at that; I am going to work as hard as I possibly can to make that debt as minimal as possible. That where scholarships like these come into play. I am not getting any financial aid from the government: it is expected that my parents give a third of their pre-tax income directly to my education, a lofty goal that unfortunately we cannot make work. The money that I have personally been saving since I was ten years old is helpful, but not enough to cover it…
