Modern Day Sir Thomas More (Script Essay)

Throughout history, there have been good people and bad ones, and a major deciding factor in this is background. The chances of being dissatisfactory are often increased if a person has a low income or the person is living in a poor neighborhood and is a person of color. These illegal activities that are commonly found in poorer areas often lead a person down the wrong path in life. These paths are not the path to success, but a path to a jail cell. The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore demonstrates the effects of drugs and violence, two common actions that end up with an unfortunate aftermath. Bryan Stevenson mentions the consequences of being bad differ due to race and wealth in his TED Talk, “We need to talk about injustice”. In “Brown VS. Board of Education: 50 years later segregation by Income”, Nanette Asimov reports how “wealth has created separate and unequal schools”, this article relates to Bryan Stevenson’s TED Talk in the fact that the both refer to how schools have unequal opportunities due to money, which is a factor of background. 60 Minutes reports David Cash’s story, should he be charged for his actions? Raised in a poor neighborhood where parents are unable to pay their bills, a child’s chances of success are significantly lower than a child whose parents can provide every wish for them. A child who was raised in a poor neighborhood, has much greater chances of having a worse outcome in life, due to the influences of the poor neighborhood and what people have

Most of the people that say this, though, come from wealth and could afford their education. “It’s completely unfair to take money from people who worked for it to hand it to other people who didn’t. Full stop, no excuses. Every time some politician comes up with some new thing to “give” to people, I want to start earning all my money on the black market and hiding it under the mattress.” (Ten Quick Reasons ‘Free Community College’ Is A Rotten Idea). Already, from the start of this excerpt from the article titled “Ten Quick Reasons ‘Free community college’ Is A Rotten Idea” stating that “it’s unfair to take money from people who worked for it to hand it to other people who didn’t” knocking the idea of tax funded institutions, like college would be if it were to ever become free, or have it’s price reduced. Though, if the author, Joy Pullmann, in effect is also making it seem as though places like the DMV, which is funded by tax dollars, steal money from people. Joy Pullmann, also assumes that students don’t work hard, most college students today have a menial job to help pay for their everyday expenses on top of their grueling coursework they have to complete before their class next meets. It is unfair to say that those who would like to go to college deserve to go into debt to get their education, to get a job to provide for themselves & their family. “College freshmen—and this includes those in four-year colleges and universities, so it’s far worse for existing community college-goers—on average read at a seventh grade level. Now take a look at this 1912 eighth-grade entrance exam for high school. Some parts are archaic, so just look at the grammar or geography sections. Think people who read at a seventh grade level can comprehend the test, much less pass it? Me,

They can use their own cars to commit the crime in other cities without getting the local police catch them, while it is not possible for the poor criminals without the car to escape the suspicion of the local community. Thus, it is easier for the rich to indulge in criminal activities and keep out of the reach of police than the poor.

“I understand. Your loved ones are being threatened. As is this city. Especially, now. I believe we’re going to see more drug wars just like the robbery from earlier which will lead to much more brutal violence. A deadly storm is rising.”

Thomas Cromwell was a great English statesman and lawyer who lived in the late 1400s to early 1500s. He was born in 1485 in the district of Putney in London, England. Though he was born into a blacksmith and trade family, he wanted to be self-made and get into the government and politics of England. At a young age, Thomas Cromwell traveled through Europe, including Italy and France, picking up various trades such as military, banking and as a clerk but later ending up as a lawyer (Maynard, 8).

“Alright Leslie, you’re here!” some lady exclaimed. The whole town was in a type of quiet unison. It was implausibly light outside despite the fact that it was only 6 in the morning. The streets were flawlessly black with no cracks whatsoever. It was so peaceful considering that it was 200 people outside and Leslie was quite frightened by it.

"We can make lots of money doing that and pay off the taxes that we owe!"

The relationship between Crime and less fortunate people cannot underestimated; it may just be the way the media has conditioned us to characterize what a criminal looks like and how they live their lives. There are many low income cities and crime rates widespread across America. One may say that people with low income have nothing to lose when they commit crime or depressed or desperate to the point that they will commit crimes for the profit of money. Even though crime is committed at all walks of life, one can still pose a question to know if crime is more likely to be committed by people with low income that those with high income.

Instead, citizens should be paid to go to college because they are going there to better themselves as citizens of the United States. Making new experiences for each individual is important. No one will enjoy the experience if they have crushing debts to worry about. Education should be out there to inspire peoples mind and not just filling their head with others perspective. Every individual has the right to learn and be educated, and have the opportunity to view this world in a different perspective and do something on their own. But the cost of education is so unaffordable to some mankinds that it is just ferocious for them to even consider paying those education bills off” (“Should Higher Free Education Should Be Offered to All for Free?” 4). If students were not stressed out over the cost, they could then focus they’re stress on leaning and getting educated. A student should only have to worry about exceling him or herself to their best ability without worrying about the price they have to pay to get their education.

In the article “Is Shakespeare Modern enough?” by Classics on the Rocks it discuss about the importance of reading the original text of Shakespeare’s play, instead of reading “translations,” especially the three year project of the Oregon Shakespeare’s Festival which created 36 translations of Shakespeare’s plays. This translations are creating a lot of controversy because they are not just a simple translation, this are parodies that many people have found offensive, especially because most of them criticize the peoples knowledge and how “uneducated” people are.

“Many people living in poverty do not want to be living in poverty. In order to obtain a higher level of socioeconomic status, crime is seen as the only option.” (Wilson, 1987).

William Shakespeare's Relevance Today For as long as formal education has existed in Britain it has been a largely standard assumption that teaching the works of William Shakespeare is relevant and necessary. Perhaps the relevance of his writing is taken for granted, perhaps it is necessary to re-examine the role of Shakespeare for the modern audience. There are indeed many people who question the relevance of this 440 year old playwright to a 21st century audience, taking it even as far as perhaps the greatest heresy of all, questioning the necessity of GCSE pupils learning Shakespeare at all. This “proposed vandalism from the policymakers” (Guardian 09/02/01) is opposed wholesale by supporters

1. “Cease to look upon Edmund as the enemy of your house; look upon him as a son, and make him so indeed!—How say you, Sir Philip? My son!—Yes, my Lord; give him your daughter: He is already your son in filial affection! Your son William and he are sworn brothers; what remains but to make him yours? He deserves such a parent, you such a son; and you will by this means, ingraft into your family, the name, title, and estate of Lovel, which will be entailed on your posterity for ever.” — The Old English Baron, 110

Wyatt’s marriage to Elizabeth was miserable and the couple is believed to have been “estranged by the second half of the 1520s” (Burrow). Thomas Wyatt and Elizabeth Brooke were separated in 1525 when Wyatt accused his wife of adultery. Much of Sir Thomas Wyatt’s poetry is reflective of his love life. His personal relationships served as inspiration for a notable amount of his work. In his poem “Blame not my
