America Monologue

The typical meal I chose to represent is called Morue and its origins is from the Haitian ethnicity. Morue is a meal usually eaten at dinner time alongside Sauce Pois Rouge (red pea soup) which is served with rice, and drank with Ginger & Cinnamon tea. To make Morue, you need: 1 lb. of salt cod (morue), water as desired, 1 small diced shallot, 1 small diced onion, 1 cup of olive oil and 1 hot pepper. To prepare this meal, “add the cod in a saucepan and cover with water. Let boil over medium-high heat. Drain the cod and soak in cool water. Shred the boiled cod. Drain and set aside. In a skillet, heat the oil and sauté the remaining ingredients. Add the cod and sauté lightly for 2-3 mins (Recipes, 2014).”

I stood at my window, looking out at the cruel German soldiers. The Nazis. Jews, beaten, shot, killed... for no good reason. Why the Jews? Why just them? What’s wrong with them?

When most people hear the word “Mexican”, a person instantly thinks of food. This is because Mexicans have been known through out America as a culture to have a variety of some of the best dishes. Hispanics males take pride in working, just as the females take pride in cooking. The women don’t do it just for the heck of it, they make a form of art and also competition. Every Mexican family has a person who competes with another, to see who can make the best dish. Mexicans have different dishes from soups to rice. The one soup you will here in the Mexican generation is pozole. This is a soup that consists of pork, hominy, and spicy herbs. This recipe has been in my family for a more then a decade, and now I share it with you. In

The “American dream,” a promise of the ability to turn your life from rags to riches if you try hard in the United States of America, has been the definition of what it means to be an American. But over time it the American dream has changed and its pledge perhaps more viable than ever. This is due to the simple fact that America as a nation has evolved over time and the core values which its people encompass are a reflection of the times. So as an American how do we define ourselves and our nation outside of the American dream? America has been known over time as a “big brother”- protector of mankind. Yet many of our citizens did not have equal rights until the 1960’s and it took the fourteenth amendment to guarantee equal protection

Although my main focus of my mockumentary was Trump’s issue with Mexicans, I’d like to expand the focus onto Trump’s racism, xenophobia and general thoughts, policies and views that have offended many different individuals and groups of people. I believe that these things he has said he would do should nullify his eligibility to run for president.

Reading G. William Domhoff’s Who Rules America?: The Triumph of the Corporate Rich was an intriguing and challenging experience for me. My limited knowledge base of the American political class system mostly stems from high school US History classes and listening to my mom’s stories of her experiences in the corporate world. Therefore, I am aware that due to my prior lack of knowledge on the topics presented in Domhoff’s book, I may have misjudged some of his finer points. Part of my struggles may be largely due to the fact that Domhoff’s intended audience for Who Rules America? is other experts in the field of understanding the sociology of the corporate elite and their resources of power. However, I believe that the book has given me a better, if not complete, understanding of the corporate elite and how they stay in power.

Many countries have fast food and obesity problems, but America takes it to a whole other level. People don’t cook as much anymore and don’t eat healthily. They also don’t exercise. It’s pictures like this that have everyone wondering WTF and perpetuate stereotypes as to why so many Americans are obese.

Woah, woah, woah. We got a bitch ass sprog here thinking dissing someone's comment is really going to get us somewhere. You're just a little thirteen-year-old furfag, grow the fuck up already. Anyways, I was just stating the fact that just because other people are allergic to something shouldn't be the reason why something should be illegal same for folks who have asthma. Also the thing on destroying your lungs/cancer there way more other things that cause cancer, but you don't see the government trying to stop it, know do you? All the shit they put in our food cause cancer, but you don't see tons of commercials talking about how we should grow our own food or to eat better. I mean people should have the right to smoke a cigarette if they want

"The world didin't always look like this......the world wasen't always like this. At one time the world was vast with green and ocean's as blue as the sky opposing them. People like you and me loved and laughed with their family's and friends. Animal's like the dog next to me were beautiful creatures. Ace next to me there was my dog.....no matter what he stayed next to me all the way till now...he was the only thing that gave me hope in the world my ace in a deck of cards. People were better before..they came. Now it's time i tell you about the giant in the background.

There is a lack of information and misrepresentation when it comes to non-monosexual/romantic orientations such as bisexuality. Some of the vocabulary that it used to describe this orientation can be misleading. Bisexual has the prefix of bi, meaning two, but the orientation itself is more broad than the sexual attraction to just two genders. What is also commonly unknown is that bisexuality is also a romantic orientation. There is little information out there concerning bisexual people and such a lack of resources may have them looking for answers that are not, but should be out there. Alternatively, most of the information that is out there and available is wrong and delegitimizes bisexuality. America is a monosexual society in its history, legislation, and media. Bisexuality has constantly been misrepresented because of America 's monosexual standard towards individuals.

“Not ones our age.” I pegged him at no more than early thirties, but that could be due to the scruff coating his jawline.

Who knew that the manner of preparing dried cod could vary so much between two cultures. In the Norwegian culture, what my father is, dried cod, or lutefisk, is usually prepared by a boiling or a baking method. The final result is a fish that can be described as appearing “flaky” with evident layers, however, the feel of it once it is in your mouth is something much more like a pate that is slightly oozing. On the other side of the spectrum, in Mexico, the dried cod, bacalao, is a stew-like dish where one can hardly tell that the renowned fish is even an ingredient. The stew consists of a variety of ingredients; some include: olives, potatoes, cinnamon, guero chiles, green onions, a white onion, and family to enjoy it with. While some of the produce is the same in both meals, such as both having potatoes and the cod product, the appearances are polar opposite with the Norwegian style being white with maybe a gravy

I have a very unique name which is Yara it means a beautiful green-skinned Brazilian goddess or the God of the River. So i guess I am a God, I know you might think why is she talking a bout her name so much because it all starts there. I belive I was born a natural leader not becaue of my intelligence or my ability to learn fast but because my dad is a ntuarl leadr that's why he is a soccer coach and his dad was the most wise man i have ever seen in my life, by the way he dies when I was 10 and I miss him everyday. My idea about high school it's worth less, i don't belive in high school. i belive in education but not high school, because think about it we weren't born the same so why do we have to graduate with the same years of math or sience or engish and if we don't get a spacific GPA we are not accepted to college how does that make sense.

The United States of America is a very unique country for numerous reasons. One particularly good reason is our great cultural diversity. Weaved deep into our history are the tales of people traveling overseas to the New World looking for better lives. Of course, not all these tales have happy endings (or happy beginnings, or any happiness anywhere in some cases), but regardless, learning about our nation’s migratory history is very important. Immigration is a very serious topic of discussion in today’s heated political climate; whatever your stance of the issue may be, it’s handy to have some knowledge of the subject, as it could affect your opinions on it in a substantial way. We should discuss where and why immigrants came to our shores, how legislators have tried to stop them, and what impact they’ve left on our country today.

In my thoughts United States is a unique country. Because, it built by the immigrants who came here for better opportunity, beautiful life and great dreams. United States reminds me small world because lot of people from each part of the world live here. That makes United States different and interesting country in my mind. Culture is something which explains people’s life style, interest, history and values. So, every emigrant brought some new perspective in the United State. We are able to find some cultural piece from every part of the world. Because of, the dreams every person brought some perspective which makes them hard working and seeking for new opportunities. So, United State is the representative of diversity, new built culture, individualism and direct also outspoken place where your dream could be true.
