Rights And Freedoms American Flag
581 words
Some say the stripes on the American flag stand
for the 13 colonies and the stars stand for the 50
states of the union. However, the American flag
also stands for much more. Freedom, civil rights,
and equality are all represented by the American
flag. So, what is an American? The usual response
would be a person who lives in America. There is
much more to living in this wonderful, majestic
country than many people believe. This includes
Americas vast history, American culture, and
American lifes...

Movie Review The colonial history of North
Carolina is filled with numerous outbreaks of
violence, due to independent spirit of people who
lived in this part of America at the time. This is
because it was much harder for colonial
administration to maintain their authority there
then anywhere else, since the area was scarcely
populated, with lack of reliable means of
communication and only a few roads. (1) The Battle
of Alamance many consider as a prelude to American
War for Independence, which b...

Censorship in Media We live in time when the dogma
of democracy, with freedom of expression, as its
essential part, is being praised to the sky by the
governments of Western countries. For the sake of
democracy we drop bombs on those that simply don't
have a racial inclination to be able to even
understand the essence of this concept. Yet, at
the same time, our own media are being heavily
censored by the watchdogs of political
correctness, who try their hardest to prevent

The Death Penalty Ethics INTRODUCTION The idea of
putting another human to death is hard to
completely fathom. The physical mechanics involved
in the act of execution are easy to grasp, but the
emotions involved in carrying out the death
sentence on another person, regardless of how much
they deserve it, is beyond my own understanding. I
know it must be painful, dehumanizing, and
sickening. However, this act is sometimes
necessary and it is our responsibility as a
society to see that it is done....

public speech and expression? This seems to be a
controversial question, when it actually shouldn t
be. The government wasn t formed to parent the
youth of America by setting the guidelines of what
is appropriate for them to hear, but to guarantee
the rights provided by the Constitution of the
United States. Americans don t pay taxes to keep

Time When Ive Escape From Reality Free

How do I know Im free? Well, in the country today,
we dont have near as many freedoms as we would
like. Most of the freedoms that were originally
written in the Declaration of Independence have
been distorted from their original purpose. Take
freedom of speech, for one. These days you cant
just go around and say what you want, when you
want. Yes, a lot of our freedoms come with
responsibilities, but there is no excuse for
prosecuting a person for exercising their rights.
