We are all members of a social group and members of `society´ as a whole. People interact in many ways and communication is just about the most common and among the most important. Whatever is meaningful to a group, from their everyday life to their traditions constitutes their very own culture and is generally respected by all group members. Language is only one of such items. For ethnic minority groups that may have a language of their own, their language is a cornerstone in their culture.

Before 1971, Bangladesh was divided into two regions; both with opposing political power. Although East Pakistan (Bangladesh) withheld the larger population between the two provinces, it acquired much less political dominance than West Pakistan. Through the power and representation of leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, East Pakistan rebelled.

On the night of May 1st, some of the students went downtown to bars for some drinks. One too many drinks later, people were out drunk on the streets throwing beer cans at police cars and vandalizing public property. When the police were called, there were already more than one hundred people at the scene throwing whatever they could get their hands on. Mayor LeRoy Satrom and Governor Jim Rhodes declared a state of emergency and ordered all of the bars to close down so people could not get any more alcohol. Police had no control over the protesters so they started to spray tear gas, which calmed them down, until the next day. May 2nd and May 3rd were filled with the police trying to settle down hundreds of activists, but it all led up to the final day. On May 4th, over a thousand people gathered at the campus revolting together. Upon the arrival of the National Guard, the crowd was too much to handle so they started to fire aimlessly in the air. Students Allison Krause, William Schroeder, Jeffery Miller, and Sandra Scheuer lost their lives and nine were

In a students’ perspective, the Kent State Shootings were for a horrible reason and the protest was not wild at all. The students believed that their protest was for a good cause and that they should not have to break it up. An article says, "They were informed that a ban on student gatherings had been called. They were then ordered to disperse by the National Guard and police. When they failed to do so, tear gas was launched, and the guardsmen moved in. Several students were beaten and even bayoneted as the guardsmen dispersed the crowd"(“The Kent State Shootings: May 4, 1970"). They believed the protest was under control, so they continued. However, this resulted in the National Guard taking matters to the extreme by beating and using weapons on the students. When the National Guard was called in to calm the protest, they were very aggressive and angry. They also came in looking for violence and one article says, "Sunday, May 3rd was a day filled with contrasts. Nearly 1000 Ohio National Guardsmen occupied the campus, making it appear like a military war zone"(“The May 4 Shootings at Kent State University: The search”). The National Guard came into the protest looking to break it up using violence. Their violence resulted in the deaths of four students and the injuring of many. The students view the Kent State Shootings as

A protest that had been scheduled three days earlier was planned for noon on Monday, May 4. The University had tried to ban the protest; they handed out 12,000 leaflets saying the event was cancelled. Even so and estimated 2000 to 3000 people gathered on the Commons. The rally began peacefully, the iron bell was rung (usually it was rung to signal victories in football games) and one speaker started to speak. At this point the National Guard chose to disperse the crowd, fearing that the situation might get out of hand and grow into another violent protest. Tear gas was again fired into the crowd but because of wind the gas had little effect on dispersing the students, some of the protesters picked up the tear gas canisters and threw them back at the Guard. Others were throwing rocks and shouting "Pigs off campus.

As an American citizen, we are guaranteed many freedoms through the Constitution. The first amendment in the Constitution states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” (US Const. amend. I). This means that all people have the right to assemble a protest peacefully, and Congress in unable to prevent this practice. However, in recent years this has become controversial because many residents question how much protesters can get away with before a demonstration becomes turbulent.

This essay will explore when law enforcement became involved in rallies, and when they did not.

The student lead protest began as a peaceful protest against the draft and the Mai Lai Massacre but shortly turned into an event that would divide the nation as a whole. The protest was scheduled to begin at 12 o’clock and the University attempted to ban the gathering but despite sending out 12,000 stating the event was cancelled 2,000 students showed up to protest. The Ohio National Guard showed up in order to disperse the protest because it wasn’t allowed, the students began throwing rocks at the National Guards and chanting “Pigs off campus!”.
