Will you join in that historic effort?” He calls out directly to the citizens, using the words “my fellow Americans” which gives the effect that he is no different than the common man, but merely an important “figure” in a suit behind a podium. He energizes the crowd, raises their morale, ignites them with confidence, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for your country.” He summons us all to take part and action into changing the nation as a whole, step by step, slowly but surely. And finally, he restates it, but this time, referring to the world, “My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of

Ruby Briges was born on the exact same year as the Supreme Court’s Brown Vs. Board of Education decision in the school is noticable coincidence in her early life into Civil Rights movement . When she was in the kindergarten , she was one of the African- American students in New Orleans who been choosen to take a test to be determining whether or not she can attend a all white school .

Right now we are fighting with another country and it is starting to get personal and it might turn into a nuclear war so it will hopefully not end up in death

As well, a woman’s place in the government was significantly different to a man’s. Geraldine Ferraro says, “For all that my female colleagues and I had achieved, we still had to more, work harder, and produce more to be judged the same as men” (Ferraro 57). She also says, “So much had changed…I arrived in Congress…I had joined the Congress Women's Caucus. But there were far to women in the House and Senate-only eleven Democrats and six Republicans to sway 435 votes” (Ferraro 41). Her evidence supporting the gender positions is evidenced by the ratio of men to women serving jobs in the government. She even goes on to acknowledge that if a woman works harder and is more efficient compared to the quality of a man’s work, at the end of the day

On April 17th, I attended an Honors College thesis presentation by Barbara Armeta, an American Studies major here at UMass Lowell. Throughout her presentation, she explains the research she did on a ranch owned by her family and the history of the land. Armeta started her presentation by going all the way back through her family line to the end of the Spanish - American war. She introduced Electa Ousley, who was one of the first women in Gilroy, CA to be granted the right to claim her own land. Ousley and her husband were one of the early pioneers in Santa Clara County who made the wagon train journey during the Gold Rush.

I’ll be honest. I’m a little worried for America. I can feel that something is going to happen. Today, we just got news that Japan invaded Manchuria, which is some area north of Korea. In 1905 they took over Russia and before that was China. What if the Japs are looking to start a second Great War? What’s that going to mean for America? I like

After being condemned to state mental institution, it was believed that it was necessary for Carrie Buck to be sexually sterilized; the mental disease which she had acquired originated three generation back and had also been present in each of those three generations. This was the basis on which this suggestion was made. In Virginia state, it was legal to carry this action out on the grounds that it " promoted the health of the patient and the welfare of society." (www.oyez.org) Before the sterilization could occur, however, a hearing would have been heard and approved/disapproved by the court.

For the next three speeches, I am going to be educating, as well as encouraging you all to be more attentive, active, and vocal, when it comes to political and social issues. We’ve all been told that WE are the future, well there is some truth to that—Our generation is responsible for the future development of our country and that is something we need to take more seriously. I began looking into this topic before this class ever started; I looked up things so I, myself, knew what was going on. So, through more extensive research, I have gained a better understanding, and that is what I am sharing with

Rachel Bella Calof was an American immigrant just before the turn of the 19th century. She soon became a true American like the immigrants before her. Through her hardships in Russia to her adventure in the United States, Rachel always had a tuff living no matter where she was. The United States for her made living bariable and gave her ways to prosper. More freedoms were gifted to the people and everyone was given an equal chance to succeed.

There has never been a person who has changed the world by sitting back and hoping that someone would do something." This is what my father would say to me when I asked why we were attending town hall meetings. Admittedly, I did not enjoy these meetings as a child; I could not comprehend why these adults were yelling at one another. However, as I grew older I began to appreciate their passion, the belief that through teamwork and organization, these individuals can accomplish something that could not be done otherwise. As a first generation Armenian/Egyptian-American much of my extended family still lives in Egypt. I was raised a stone’s throw from the poverty and despair that marks much of the world. As I continue to move between endless opportunities that the United States has to offer and the deprivation of countries like my parents’, I realize the current challenges as a public agent in the field of reforming health policy in order to alleviate health disparities along ethnic, socioeconomic, and national lines.

"I will admit, coming here wasn't the easiest thing for me,” she said. "But as long as any child in America lives in poverty, as long as any child in America lives in fear, as long as any child, not just here but in the world, faces these challenges, there is work to do."

Never in my life or anybodies have we witnessed this much violence. What is wrong with the world?

I learned a lot from Jana. As a pre-teen it became apparent to me that earning your citizenship in America is near impossible to do. Not everyone has a car. Money is something that when you work hard for it, you don’t waste it. Just because someone disciplines you, doesn’t mean they don’t love you. Hard work will pay off, it always does. Last but not least, America isn’t the only place that exist. There is an entire world out there, just as modern as us, and just as comprehensive as

Is he world really going to end? Is the third world war going to happen? These are the questions going through people minds nowadays. Terrorist attacks one after another and killing of innocent people has slowly convinced us that something really bad in a form of war is going to happen sooner than we think. They are targeting, attacking and killing civilians all over the world. They are also threatening to do more and more. Their main target is to grow fear in us and also drag countries in a war and so far they are getting success at some extent.
