The song "La Chicharonera" was sung by Narciso Martinez in 1936. The song was a big hit and that's how Martinez's career started with instant success. Martinez was considered the father of the Conjunto music as he spread his cultural and tradition through his music.

Elizabeth Fernea entered El Nahra, Iraq as an innocent bystander. However, through her stay in the small Muslim village, she gained cultural insight to be passed on about not only El Nahra, but all foreign culture. As Fernea entered the village, she was viewed with a critical eye, ?It seemed to me that many times the women were talking about me, and not in a particularly friendly manner'; (70).

“I hate your Arabic!” I snarled in my broken English. My mother stared at me in confusion while I seethed about my heritage internally. For whatever reason, this toxic state of mind stuck with me through my elementary-school years. I promised myself that I would strive to become like everyone else and slowly began to erase my Lebanese culture from my mannerisms.

When Anzaldua says “So, if you want to really hurt me, talk badly about my language” she wants you to feel every aspect of what she is saying. In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” she persuades her readers to believe the way she feels and that she has went through hell to fight for what she believes in.

Language is an essential part of a person; through language, you will find a person’s culture and nationality. In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, Gloria Anzaldua, demonstrates her stance of language and how she proudly admits that language, to her, is an identity that makes her feel whole . She also expresses hardship growing up because some people are not willing to accept her for who she is and forcefully attempts to make her change.

On the other hand, the other culture was her native culture, Spanish Chicano. The Spanish Chicano culture has been her culture since she was at a tender age and throughout her life. In this culture, Anzaldua believes “Chicano Spanish is not incorrect; it is living language” (2). Therefore, one could be viewed as a cultural traitor because one ruins the Spanish Language if he/she speaks another language such as English. This paper, therefore, sheds light to the challenging and conflicting cultural ideas exhibiting from the dual culture. Arab culture and American Culture.

Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was born in Jalapa, Veracruz Mexico, on February 21, 1794. He belongs to a “criollo” middle class family. His parents were from Spain. He was a Mexican politician and military leader who was President of Mexico eleven times from 1833 to 1855. He was president officially six times, and unofficially five more. He was also a disastrous president of Mexico because he lost Texas and much more of the current American west in the United States. However, by far he was an important figure of his generation in the Mexican history. Many people love him during his first years of president, and he was remembered for two major conflicts, the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 during the Texas Revolution, and as a restored Mexican leader during the Mexican-American War in 1847 (tshaonline.org).

Scholar, Gloria Anzaldúa, in her narrative essay, “How To Tame A Wild Tongue’, speaks her many experiences on being pressured on what language to use. She then expresses how the discrimination made her to realize the ugly truth--that people reject languages that aren’t their own. She adopts logos, ethos and pathos in order to appeal toward her audience who is anyone who is not bilingual. One of the perspectives she takes on in her piece clearly expresses the relationship between language and identity and how it creates a conflict between her and the world.

Ash Carter in The Pentagon on Thursday, announced that the transgender ban is ended. Now, transgender people will be able to serve in the military. The transgender people would be allowed to serve in U.S. military because in the United States everyone has equal opportunity, let alone join the army as a volunteer to serve the country. As long as they have the ability to serve in the army, and it will not cause any impact on the country and the people, we should end the transgender ban. After the abolition of the ban, transgender people will enjoy the same treatment as the others. For example, the medical coverage.

"The Discourse of the Veil" Ahmed examines Amin’s recommendations regarding women and formed part of his thesis and how/why he believed that unveiling was key to the social transformation, which is important for unraveling the significance of the debate that his book provoked (Ahmed, 145).
