Was the Japanese internment an act of justice or an act of cruel severity. The main motivation for Japanese internment was concerns about national security threats.

Edward E. Davis, also known as Earl Davis, was born in early 1916. He is currently 97 years old, and is at least the oldest living World War II veteran in Smyth County, Virginia. At age twenty five, on September 8, 1941, Davis was drafted into the United States Army and was sent for basic training in South Carolina. He was one of five children, all boys, and they all served in the United States military. His official title in the United States Army was to be a carrier, a mortar gunner and ammunition carrier. Davis was married to Mary Irene Tolliver Davis, who unfortunately passed away on March 29, 2005 at 82 years old.

Robert Allen Dickey was born on October 23, 1974 in Nashville, Tennessee. He is important because he loves his family and never gives up, even when times are tough. R.A. Dickey and his wife Anne Bartholomew got married in Nashville, on December 13, 1997. One of the things that I thought was interesting about him is that he won a bronze medal, in baseball, for team U.S.A. in 1996! Currently R.A. Dickey is 43 years old.

Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. was born December 18, 1912 in Washington D.C. His father, Benjamin O. Davis, Sr. was one of the few African-American officers in the U.S. Army. Davis, Jr. was appointed to the U.S. Military Academy in 1932 by Rep. Oscar S. De Priest, the only black congressman at that time. At West Point he endured ostracism from both classmates and superiors who wanted to see him fail. He persevered and graduated 35th in a class of 276 in 1936. He was the fourth African-American graduate in the Academy’s history. Upon commissioning he and his father became the only two black officers in the army. His application to the Army Air Corps was refused because the Air Corps did not accept African-Americans.

Robert Smalls is a man who had accomplished a lot during his early life to his later years. From capturing a Confederate flag ship and leading it to the Union while also escaping from slavery along with a couple of people, to helping recruit about 5,000 African Americans for the Union Army who of which fought valiantly during the Civil War. Even though he was treated better than most African Americans in his early life as his possible father, Henry McKee, treated him like a son and gave him extra privileges that usually wouldn’t be given to his race, he rose above it and was able to help establish the first school built for African American children, was appointed Major General in the South California militia, and many more, leaving a legacy that his children and many people would be proud of. With all that and much more, Robert Smalls early life, family, military career, and political career was able to help him become the man he died as.

In 1999, Larry and Andy Wachowski directed The Matrix, a movie featuring the future in which reality as perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality or cyberspace called "the Matrix”. This fake reality was created by sentient machines to pacify and subdue the human population. To some, this movie represents just another brilliant Hollywood sci-fi action film, but for others, it challenges the understanding of perspective, reality and appearance ("The matrix 101," 2003). The Matrix heavily relies on the concepts of Irish Philosopher George Berkeley who believed reality, or reality as humans perceive it, is fundamentally mental and therefore immaterial which is known as Idealism.

Who was George Rogers Clark? This is probably a question most people in America couldn't answer. The reason is very simple, George Rogers Clark was a hero in an age of heroism. He simply could not compare with the legends of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other Revolutionary War heroes. Clark nevertheless is very important, especially to the people of Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana who became apart of the United States of America because of his great leadership and bravery in military campaigns at Kaskaskia, Illinois and Vincennes, Indiana during the Revolutionary War.

Dr. Chris Barnes, a tall, burly man, with thick, jet black hair, and a husky figure, is the controller of all the social media in the society. He lives in the control center, but is never seen. Nobody knows who he is, or that he even exists. Dr. Barnes built the society from the ground up. As a child, Chris was an isolated outcast among his peers. While all his peers had their noses in their phones, he sat in the corner reading books. He had always felt lonely, and one day he decided that he would never be lonely again. Chris took everything he had read about in the books and channeled it into creating a society. It turned out to be much easier than he thought. All he had to do was put out an add on all the social media sites and people were

One early settler in Rhode Island was Roger Williams (a founder of Rhode Island) who was banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was banished because he spoke out against the Court of Massachusetts. Williams had spoken out against the rule of the Court, he questioned the right of authorities to punish religious bickering, and the right to take away Indians land. Another founder was Anne Hutchinson, who was also banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, for religious reasons. Rhode Island officially became a state in 1790 on May 29.

The artist I have chosen for this project is John Roger Stephens, also known as John Legend. Born on December 28, 1978 in Springfield Ohio, John showed musical potential at an early age. His grandmother taught him to play his first instrument, which was the piano. He grew up playing and singing in his church’s choir. His talent at that age was amazing, labelling him a child prodigy. Growing up, he listened to music from Michael Jackson, LL Cool J, Boyz II Men, and MC Hammer, very influential African American artists. They were able to change the way people viewed African Americans with their music, and make the world a more accepting place. John knew that he wanted to become a vocalist, and was determined to make his dream

The Federalist Papers have one of the biggest influences on the government of the 21st century. The papers were the cause of the revised Constitution becoming ratified and adopted by the american government. There were often concerns that the constitution would bring about a monarchy. The collection of detailed essays helped the government officials at the time realize what mistakes they were making and how they could fix them. A lot of what was said and the ideas and opinions in the papers are still in effect in today’s government. The government still feels that the states should not be in conflict with each other and that we should not create factions among ourselves. Government officials still feel that we should be alleviating debt

When the name John Smith is mentioned, people of all ages are familiar with it and could tell a lot about him. Why is this? How is it that a man who lived over 400 years ago still so popular today, more specifically to our children? The answer to that question is because John Smith can be viewed as one of America’s earliest heroes. His leadership was vital to the survival of the Jamestown colony. Most people are familiar with his famous quote, “he that will not work shall not eat.” He carried all the qualities of an influential leader, and even had a mystical legend with Pocahontas, in which no one truly knows what happened. His leadership characteristics and qualities possessed hard work, grit, and determination. He was an individualist that had an “American” dream. However, during his time, the colonists did not look at it as an “American” dream. Without him and his leadership, America may not be what it is today.

The consequences that follow the use of any drug are unfavorable. Although many individuals may see drug addiction as a mere lifestyle choice, it is a problem that many individuals suffer from and inevitably a growing issue that leaves major social and economic impacts.

Euripides always expressed his point of views towards the culture of Ancient Greeks, mostly hatred and enmity. However his safety was a major concern due to the irrational behaviour of the ancient Greeks and his close friends and family members. Thus he expressed his notions by giving speaking power to his characters. Medea has been given the same property. In Medea, Euripides discusses exclusively about the gender segregation and inequality.
