Comparing The Civil Rights Of Movement, The Declaration Of Independence, And The Hunger Games

In the beginning when there was only but a mere 13 colonies, we couldn’t agree on anything. But despite all odds, we fought the most powerful country and developed into a strong nation, known today as The United States of America. It truly couldn’t have been done without 3 first presidents who laid the ground work for our new nation. Those three presidents and there three administrations included the Washington Administrations, Adams Administration, and Jefferson Administration. Though those three were of equal importance, one that stood out among them was the Washington’s Administration, and here was its significance to our nation.

Discrimination of the blacks was a dilemma without a care to be resolved. Separation of whites from the darker complected people is what caused rebellions and outrage throughout communities, throughout the nation. “Whites sit in the front, blacks sit in the back,” this is the main reason that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, which cause African Americans to boycott against the buses. You are black, you do not have the same rights as we do.” and out of fear, out of lack of courage, the African Americans obeyed their orders. Then one day, a man asked Rosa Parks to stand or head towards the rear of the bus so he may have a seat in the front where white men and women would sit. She refused to stand, and she did not move; she sat ignoring the commands of a “superior white male.” Rosa Parks began a movement after her actions got her arrested; known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This act of civil disobedience of a single female caught the attention of many, causing plenty to refuse to do as the signs announced, and causing many to walk to work rather than ride the bus. The blacks no longer felt obligated to listen to the signs and the laws which were bizarre yet politely rude. White people were not superior, and it was now that the African Americans were realizing they deserved equality.

John Adams (1735-1826) has the historically unfortunate position of being president between two American icons, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. His presidency is often overlooked by scholars and even occasionally viewed as an undeserving president who won the office out of early American political maneuvering (McCullough 2001, 29). Nonetheless, he led the young nation during the end of the French Revolution and the emergence of Napoleon Bonaparte, a globally tumultuous period. The nation, and the world, has changed dramatically since the end of the eighteenth century. However, the domestic and foreign concerns that Adams had to manage and attempt to resolve are still relevant to current circumstances. Even though Adams only served one term over 200 years ago, through an analysis of his background, personality, presidential leadership and managerial style, and his interactions with Congress and the American people, a twenty-first century incoming president is able to learn from Adams’ mistakes and triumphs.

Many people around the country forget the past histories and events that went into shaping America into what it is today. Some of these events include The Whiskey Rebellion during Washington's presidency. Along with the Alien and Sedition Acts during John Adams’ presidency. Many people even forget that France and Britain were fighting in a war at this time, and that Americans were fighting between which country to support. Though this is true, America is still standing today because of how George Washington protected the rights of the American Society through many ways during his years setting precedents for other presidents. Despite this, John Adams didn’t, as he made many mistakes during his presidency .

When injustice is in place we as citizens must react, and this is exactly what Martin Luther King Jr. did. “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is a letter written by Martin Luther King Jr. while he was in jail. King was in jail for partaking in protests against segregation. King’s clergymen have recently called him out for his actions, stating that they are unwise and untimely. King then goes on to state why he thinks his actions are wise and timely. He then goes on talking about the unjustness in Birmingham at the time. King at the beginning tried to negotiate with the Birmingham community to stop segregation, but it ended up going nowhere. He ended up using nonviolent direct action which this started to make a difference. Martin Luther King Jr.’s reasoning and evidence of his actions are very persuasive.

John Adams, the second president of the United States, was very involved in foreign affairs and was a diplomat to France. He was very passionate about politics and devoted much of his time to settling foreign policies. In this speech, Adam speaks to the people of America more specifically, Adam is also speaking to the people who are wary of the idea that a group of selected people will be controlling the country and the laws. Adam starts off his speech praising how far the country has gotten. He strays away from the formal speech format that George Washington used is his speech. He basically sets himself up as a person who is friendly and takes his role as preserving American freedom seriously. The tone starts off pleased and appreciative.

John Adams had a major role in formation the United States government to how it is today. During the time, Adams was alive, America was merely the thirteen colonies. Theses colonies were under the authority of Great Britain. John was outraged at Great Britain for oppressing his fellow people. John believed they were levying taxes unfairly. His beliefs encouraged him to take action. He became a leader of the American Revolution. This war was between Great Britain and thirteen colonies fighting for their freedom. Adams choose George Washington to be commander in charge of the continental army. This army was able to fight back and stand their ground. This was a rewarding achievement for these small thirteen colonies. John Adams also played an

John Adams believed that Britain has been filled with Folly, and America with Wisdom, and he suggested America should be totally separated with England. He values freedom, and independence for people. He said in the passage that “…people are extremely addicted to Corruption and Venality...” Adams think it is understandable, and he think he must submit all this hopes and fears, to an overruling Providence. He considered that his action would gain posterity’s acclaim.

In the early history of the United States, many founding fathers and people before them helped shape the underpinning for our nation’s liberty. Of the founding fathers and persons who were essential in the naissance of the great nation known today as the United States of America, John Adams is undoubtedly one of the most vital of them all. John Adams by David McCullough did not only do Adams’ life story justice, it also painted the man and his works so vividly in every bit of glory he deserves. The period of the 1700s was one filled with fear of the nation’s former paternal country and also full of desire for independence. It was through Adams’ hard determination and defense in the country’s ability to stand on

Rosa parks was arrested for not giving up her seat to a white man . I didnt find out untill it was all over the news and people was talking about it , so at this point i was thinking segergation is not acceptable . Thats when i started making speeches and started marching about segergation, and i also started boycotting . Many people loved what i did , but some people didnt like me at all , but them not liking me wasnt gone stop me from doing what i was doing . Because no african american should be afraid to come outside without thinking they are going to get shot or killed , its just like the white people was trying to take over , and thought they could do harm to us . i came outside i walked up on a group of white people holding up signs

John Adams did not really play a big role like some of the others in the making of America. His wife was a great deal in the making of America. Even

Take Rosa Parks, she didn’t go to the authorities with her bus seat problem, she just took it to the black community, and they took it upon themselves to do something about it. She wanted to do something about the racism problem, but didn’t want it to be cruel, but just gentle and subtle. By boycotting buses, that didn’t give the buses much money because mainly blacks road the buses. This showed the government that something needed to be changed in society. So eventually they changed the law about blacks having to give up their seat for a white person, because they weren’t making a profit and the community was causing

As we Americans approach this forthcoming Independence Day, I think of our country and how privileged we are to have the rights we do today. Although laws and other things of that sort have been passed for years, we continue to acquire more liberation to this day. Two hundred and thirty-nine years ago, on July 4th of 1776, it was a day of commemoration concerning the Declaration of Independence as our nation was finally free at last from Great Britain’s government. On a day near the beginning of July, John Adams wrote the following passage to his wife, Abigail:

Although it sounds appealing to make one's own decision freely, it is actually an impractable goal as the society has exerted significant influence and restrictions on individuals and has shaped one's value of what they should do and what they should not do. In today's society, people are more free to make our own choices than we were before, but it is true that we canno indulge our interests at the cost of transgressing the basic rules of the society.
