Examples Of Patriotism In Young Philip Malloy

[A student] may express his [or her] opinions, even on controversial subjects…if he [or she] does so without materially and substantially interfering with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school and without colliding with the rights of others. But conduct by the student, in class or out of it, which for any reason – whether it stems from time, place, or type of behavior – materially disrupts classwork or involves substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of others is, of course, not immunized by the constitutional

On Page 83 Dr. Palleni tells Mrs. Malloy, ”Students cannot break-- cannot make a disturbance in the classroom. Straightforward rule infraction.” AVI In this quote it is shown what rule Philip Malloy had broken. He was creating a disturbance, which is why he was kicked out of the school. OnPage 1 in the memo it says “Please all rise and stand at respectful, silent attention for the playing of our national anthem.” AVI The rule that Philip broke is right on the first page in the memo. Stand at respectful, Silent attention. The rule Philip broke is right in the memo that he was sent most likely when he entered the school. He broke the rule, suspension is deserved. On Page 105 Dr. Seymour says “The answer is no. We do not have such a rule. Absolutely.” AVI This is said by Dr. Seymour while he is speaking to Jennifer Stewart. He is saying that there is no rule against singing the star spangled banner. On Page 111 the conversation states “Ms. Stewart: …. You suspended a student, Philip Malloy, for singing “The Star Spangled Banner”? Dr. Palleni: I did no such thing!” AVI In this quote, Dr. Joseph Palleni is defending himself after he is accused of suspending Philip for signing the national anthem. This shows that Palleni did not suspended Philip Malloy for singing the national anthem. He suspended him for some other reason, for creating a

American Patriotism can be defined in different ways. When people think of the word patriotism, most often say "to love one 's country". That is true in some aspect, but being patriotic means much more than that. In the words of Mark Twain, he states, “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” True patriotism is to support what 's best for this country and contribute in ways to help that can be beneficial for everyone. However, to a socialist, patriotism can be viewed within three main perspectives: the functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist perspective.

First a little background on the national anthem. The song itself was written to commemorate a military victory when we withstood a British attack and “Old Glory” continued to wave over the battered fort during the War of 1812. In 1931 Congress officially decided listeners should stand when “The Star Spangled Banner” is played. Congress also gave suggestions for the behavior of people listening to the song. Which is basically to stand at attention, hand over your heart, and men should remove their hats and hold them over their heart. (Dempsey, Martin). So even Congress believes that is what a person should do, but so they would not be in violation of 1st Amendment rights, they only recommended it, they

The principal suspended the students until the end of the protest. The Tinker’s sued the School District for violating their freedom of expression right.

Over five years have passed since high school senior Joseph Frederick was suspended for 10 days by school principal Deborah Morse after refusing her request to take down a 14-foot banner he was displaying at a school-sanctioned event which read “BONG HiTS 4 JESUS.” Born as a seemingly trivial civil lawsuit in which Frederick sued the school for violating his First Amendment rights to free speech, the case made its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the long-awaited ruling of Morse v. Frederick has finally been released. In a 5-4 split decision, the court ruled in favor of Morse and upheld the school board’s original ruling that Morse was acting within her rights and did not violate Frederick’s First Amendment rights by taking away his

Many people believe that they are patriotic people. But, what truly makes one patriotic? In “Saying Goodbye to Patriotism” Robert Jensen critiques the effects of patriotism on today’s modern society, the United States, and globalization after the attacks on 9/11. Jensen defines patriotism in his talk delivered to the Peace Action National Congress as “love and loyal or zealous support of one’s own country.” (Jensen 741) But, that is not the only definition of patriotism. One may love living in the United States so does that make them patriotic? Patriotism is probably one of the hardest words to define in today’s society.

In a recent poll here in our English 1301 class, most people by far disapproved of his act to use the National anthem

Larry Schweikart believes despite the excessive racism, sexism, and bigotry throughout the history of the United States, when the story is told “fairly,” all that can be taken away is a sense of awe at the obstacles overcome, the blood split, and the nation built. Although corruption can be seen over the course of time, the freedom of the nation overcame all else and created a bright light of a society in a world of dark oppression. Schweikart emphasizes the idea that history is often taught from a single, biased perspective, clouding the true image of the American nation as it progressed over time. He also emphasizes the ideals of character, tied to liberty, tied to property, and how they were all necessary for success. More generally, Schweikart believes that throughout the history of the United States, it has proven time and time again to be a nation based on the principles of freedom and justice, exemplified through its actions in every aspect, such as the liberation of people’s and bringing them to a higher state of living, and the sharing of power with those who had none, no matter where they came from, or who they were. “All men are created equal”; the United states is the “last, best hope” of earth; and America “is great because it is good” all extend Schweikart’s basic ideals that the United States’ history, when viewed with the basic ideal of “the ends justify the means,” creates a story

Here are the quotes that counter my case On Pg 72” I have the Right to do it” He does have the right to hum along but it was a disturbance of the silence On Pg 74 “ How can she keep me from singing the national anthem” Which means that he can sing along even though the first amendment supports him but he should not be disturbing the class.

The question, ‘Is patriotism a virtue?’ is one that will forever be asked by many philosophers. This particular question has many discrepancies regarding its core meaning and the way in which it is practised by all. An argument is made by philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre in relation to this question, MacIntyre claims that patriotism can only come to be a virtue when the patriot is able to challenge their beliefs about their country with moral judgment. Through the course of this essay we will critically analyse Alasdair Macintyre’s argument in defence of an Aristotelian understanding of the virtue of patriotism.

In this court case, Frederick filed a civil case against Morse for suspending him from school for displaying a banner during a 2002 torch relay as this amounted to suppression of his rights to free speech under First Amendment.

Political protests at school events do unfairly overshadow the event because they make the school event too political. Political protests make the school event too political. "Fort Bragg Unified School District's superintendent, Charles Bush, released a statement saying the intention of the ban had been to keep a 'family-oriented school fundraising event' from becoming political." This shows that political protests may be a problem because people might become too focused on the protest instead of the fun school event. If the guests become too focused on the protest, they might become too disruptive and cause more problems. Some might argue that political protests don't unfairly overshadow the event because they are creating awareness to a serious

J.Newland the illustrator uses the technique of trying to appeal to ones emotion of patriotism. Patriotism is the devotion to ones own country and concern for its defence. The way the illustrator incorporates this emotion is by changing the countries name 'Australia' to 'New Germany.' Another emotion the illustrator plays on is by using the emotions of Anxiety, worry and concern. He is trying to create Anxiety, worry and concern that australian way of life may be in jeopardy and we need to stand up and fight to protect what we hold dearly to us, our freedom. A language technique the illustrator uses is changing the Australian state names to German names. The intended audience would of taken offence to this and is why to is such a good technique
