were forced away from that language‚ and that many now did not know how to read it. I just kind of thought of it as a ‘dead language’ not as one that was a native language that had been purposely eliminated. That was one of the most interesting and saddest things that I found in the video. I wonder if the language of hieroglyphics had stayed more relevant if it would be easier for historians to find information about the culture‚ because they wouldn’t have to do as much language

Forceful Removal of Natives The trail of tears was simply wrong. The trail of tears is one of the saddest events in our nation’s history. We forcefully took land that did not belong to us. In addition‚ we killed thousands in the process. The 5 nations east of the Mississippi were changed forever. We took from them the very rights that we just fought for in the Revolutionary War. We had such double standards thinking that we deserve the rights in our constitution but not the native americans. Why

I think that stalking and domestic violence are much more prevalent than we think. The reason that society tends to brush them off so easily is because these crimes are seen as a personal matter than is no one’s business except for those involved. These are serious crimes because they deny victims of their rights as guaranteed by the US constitution. I can see where mandatory arrests are a good idea‚ but they prevent the victim from choosing what they want to happen to their abuser. Mandatory arrests

And this is just unacceptable! I mean‚ it is one thing for craft stores‚ like Hobby Lobby‚ because they have all seasons all the time and just shuffle stuff to the front as it gets closer to their respective holidays‚ but when it comes so Sam’s Club

A redistribution of wealth would automatically cause laziness. The ideology of redistribution is against America’s economic system. It will take away from society’s growth opportunities like when the rich cannot start a new business or hire new employees‚ and basically hurting the economy because of this. When you tax income you get less of it. People will have less money to invest‚ save‚ and use. When you take away Neil’s money to pay Sam‚ Neil will either move away or quit working because he has

The documentary‚ Waiting for Superman‚ is a look at the problems with America’s public school system. After watching to film I was shocked and frustrated. It is difficult for me to imagine that people who have chosen to become teachers would ever refuse to reform a system that is not functioning in the best interest of the children for whom the system was developed to serve. I am a very direct thinking person‚ when a problem is explained to me I immediately think about solutions. This film

This was make him felt‚ now he is an outsider and this is one of the saddest moments of his childhood. In my opinion I disagreed with Richard Rodriguez because after I read this essay I think the way he learn English and the way his parent did are too extreme. So that’s why he felt English forfeiting his happy home life

When I hear the date "9/11" I rapidly drown in the saddest kind of nostalgic thoughts and emotions. Although many years have gone by since the devastating events of 9/11‚ its memory and the feelings it evokes remains immortal. In retrospect‚ I was five years old during the time of the attacks and I wasn’t even living in the United States. Nevertheless‚ as I was too young to fully understand the magnitude of the attacks‚ seeing how an event that took place thousands of miles away from me had the ability
