Fredrick Jackson Turner developed the thesis that
the American West created and reinforced the
American ideals of: equality, democracy,
opportunity, and individualism. I disagree with

created just the opposite. It created a period of
inopportunity and inequality especially between
the rich and the poor classes of the time period.

was off beam. The Homestead Act was one such
thing. This act gave every...

Why Should Middle School Pupils Wear Uniforms
553 words
I think pupils at middle schools should wear
school uniforms because school uniforms are
homogeneous and show no difference concerning the
families economic. School uniforms might help to
reduce violence in middle schools, because middle
school pupils, who wear school uniforms often feel

other. Apart from these reasons I also feel, that
school uniforms help pupils to represent their
school and to separate them from other schools and
pupils. School u...

lost its trust in the federal government because
of corruption and special interest groups.
However, now we are solving many of these
problems, and hopefully America will again trust
Washington. Once the public p...
