Texas v. Johnson or American Flag Stands for Tolerance differences? Texas's v. Johnson is the courts decision and the American Flag Stands for Tolerance is the editors opinion. In the courts decision they had to accept Gregory Johnson for his beliefs people were very petulantly of Gregory's opinion. The news paper editor, Ronald J. Allen has his own opinion about the flag getting burnt by Gregory Johnson. Ronald J. Allen opinion is that it is wrong to discriminate the American flag and he still thinks we should have freedom. William J. Brennan thinks that the court opinion is right because the first amendment but he always says one mans opinion will not change our nations attitude towards the flag.

The History of Texas Texas history itself had its own amazing story. The small number of American settlers moved to the land of Texas had led to the dramatic war with the Mexicans. The land of Texas was used to be owned by Mexicans. Due to the argument between Texans and Mexicans caused the battle of San Jacinto and Mexican War. In long ago before American settlers moved to Texas, this place was so rich and an abundance of land.

Texas political culture is one that can be described as a combination of three main ideas: individualistic, traditionalism and moralism. Considering Texas and its overwhelming 254 counties we can see these main ideas undoubtedly. The 254 counties each have their own general set of ideas, attitudes and beliefs. The whole state of Texas is simply not just considered individualistic, traditionalism, or moralism, it is considered all three. Individualistic, traditionalism and moralism are all strong values that coexist in our society and they all affect how we as the people live our lives. A political culture shapes a region’s politics.

Political culture reflects the political ethics and convictions of people, not only around the United States of America but also all over the world. The people believe that the government is responsible for the type of services (like education, health care, community services, etc.) that they are entitled too; therefore, if the outcome is not good the political system has failed. There are three different political cultures: moral, traditional, and individualist. The State of Texas has a mix from all the cultures; however, traditional and individualist cultures seem to predominate.

Texas is the second most populous state as well as the second largest state in the United States of America (Brown, Langenegger, Garcia, Lewis, & Biles, 2014). With a huge number of people currently calling Texas their home, it would make sense to draw the conclusion that the Texas government must make this state a great place to live by serving its citizens to the best of its abilities. However, it is best not to make assumptions and in order to ascertain whether the local government actually fulfills this role we must look at multiple aspects of the government.

The United States of America is a country priding itself on providing equal opportunity for the right of life, liberty, and property. These unalienable rights, according to the Founding Fathers, were not to be taken away or denied by the American government. Also known as a natural right, the right to life can be classified as a citizen’s right to be protected by the government from abuse or death. Property classifies the right that a citizen has for owning materialistic items and land for which can be considered private. Finally, the right of liberty presented in the Constitution for a citizen refers to many different aspects ranging from freedom of speech and expression, right to bear arms, freedom of religion, freedom against search and

Texas is home to about 27 million people and continues to grow. Texas’s major public policy problem right now would be in infrastructure and can be fixed by compromise. There are two types of infrastructure which are economic and social. Infrastructure means those basic facilities and services which and facilitate different economic activities and thereby help in economic development of education, health, transport, communication, banking & insurance, irrigation, power, and etc.... There are two types of infrastructure which are economic and social. Infrastructure is the foundation upon which the Texas economy balances.

Traditionalistic political cultures, according to Daniel Elazar, are typically found in the Selected Answer: d.

The American South. An area full of rich history and the home to some of the nation’s largest conflicts throughout history, such as the civil war and the civil rights movement. Southerners have always been proud of their heritage despite its rocky parts and display it for all to see with a 150 year old flag. This is proving to be problematic, though, as the Confederate flag they are all so proud of, is really only 50 years old and has been associated with ideals of white supremacy and racism. Some Southerners and other Americans choose to not believe the truth about the flag, others were never taught the truth. However, it is incredibly important in forming an opinion on the flag, and to whether or not the flag must be removed from state buildings. And the truth is, due to its historical affiliation to racist whites in the South, white supremacy groups, and recent events such as the Charleston Shooting, the Confederate rebel flag should not be flown on state buildings as it is not culturally sensitive to African American people who have been targeted by these people.

During the Civil War, Texas fought for the Confederate States of America. For nine years following the Civil War, Texas is in turmoil, as its people attempt to solve political, social, and economic problems produced by the war. One of the major forces that threatens change in the state is the United States Army. Federal troops are there, at least in part, to ensure loyalty to the federal government and to protect the rights of the blacks. To many Texans, the army, most of whom fought for the North in the Civil War, is an unwanted occupying force. Joseph, who is part of this unwelcomed army, is sent to Sulphur Springs to take part in a military occupation of the town. He meets an environment of hate and destruction much of it aimed at him and

The article that I chose to use for this assignment is “Why a Virginia principal refuses to take down her school’s Confederate flags” (Holley 2015). This article was published in the Washington Post and written by Peter Holley. Mr. Holley graduated from Columbia University with a masters in journalism. Prior to joining the Washington Post he was an associate editor at Houstonia Magazine. Mr. Holley has also worked as a reporter for the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express. While at the San Antonio Express he worked as a crime reporter, which is a job that would require attention to detail. In this article Mr. Holley uses statistics to show how divided people are when it comes to the Confederate flag and he

Talk to almost any person to ever live in this great land and it will become clear that Texas is most definitely a state of mind, and as Steinbeck points out, it is so much more. The author says, "It is a mystique closely approximating a religion," and while he clearly says this hyperbolically, I think it is very near to the truth. In no other state does one see the same caliber of "patriotism" citizens have for their home as the type that exemplifies Texans. Texas flags can be found just about anywhere and on just about anything from swimming suits to mounted to the beds of pickup trucks. Wearing anything from cowboy hats and boots to the ever more popular Texas themed T-shirts, Texans express their pervasive pride for their state in their

The Oklahoma flag has changed over three times, the last two being smaller changes. The first Oklahoma flag was created in 1911; it honored the American flag by using its colors. It was a white star edged in blue on a field of red. Inside the star is the number 46, referring to when the state came into the union in 1907 as the 46th state. This flag flew from 1911-1925 until it started to retain disfavor during the Russian Revolution in 1907. The red flag and single star resembled the Russian flag and was associated with Communism.

1. Texas Triangle; Research Triangle Park Texas Triangle: The Texas Triangle is one of only eleven megaregions in the United States.

Sometimes areas like this are also called a as megapolitan area.

The Bennington flag was also flown over the Battle of Bennington. The Battle of Bennington did not take place at Bennington, Vermont but took place in Upstate New York. Besides the Bennington flag, the flag is also called the Fillmore flag. The flag is sometimes referred to the Fillmore flag because after the Battle of Bennington, Nathaniel Fillmore brought home the Bennington flag and ever since it was passed for generations through the Fillmore family. No one really knows the exact date that the flag was adopted by the nation but is was around 1776. Archibald MacNeal Willard, an artist, also made a painting about the flag called the Spirit of ‘76. The Bennington flag has thirteen red and white alternating stripes and has thirteen stars. The thirteen stars have seven points where most American flags only have five points. The 13 stripes represent the
