Many people are being displaced due to fear of religious, racial, or political persecution, and this is demonstrated through a story about a Sudanese refugee. Nyawet Tut had to flee because, “...soldiers set fire to her village and she had to run for her life with her own five children and five others of relatives killed in the conflict” (Edwards, 2017, para. 8). Many refugees like Tut had to leave their homes and everything behind so they wouldn’t be persecuted for their beliefs. These people represent to mockingbird metaphor because even innocent children are being oppressed because of war. Decades after the novel took place, this metaphor still connects to today’s society and persecution of the innocent. The restriction of refugees entering the US mirrors the killing of a mockingbird. An executive order from US President Donald Trump says, “Deteriorating conditions in certain countries due to war, strife, disaster, and civil unrest increase the likelihood that terrorists will use any means possible to enter the United States” (Trump, 2017 para. 4). This executive order gives some insight into the conditions that refugees are facing. Millions of people are being forced to leave their country due to political, racial, religious persecution as well as the fear of war. This order is saying that due to the possibility of terrorism entering the US through refugees, it is safer to not let them seek sanctuary or asylum in here. While may help

On February 12, 2015, journalist, Jon Ronson, published an article in New York Times Magazine containing information of thirty year old, Justine Sacco. For the time being, Sacco was the senior director of corporate communications at IAC and was bashed publicly on social media after interpreting racism on her Twitter account in 2014. In Ronson’s essay, “How One Stupid Tweet Blew Up Justine Sacco’s Life,” he presents readers with his one-on-one interviews of Justine Sacco. In 2013, Justine Sacco was traveling during the holidays to visit her family when she began to post on Twitter. The first occasion of her racist tweets took place while she was leaving John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City. She took to twitter, “Weird German Dude: You’re in First Class. It’s 2014. Get some deodorant” (par. 3), in reference to a fellow passenger on her flight. The next episode took place in Heathrow, a London airport, where she tweeted, “Chilly- cucumber sandwiches- bad teeth. Back in London” (par. 5). Her last mishap was on her way to Cape Town, South Africa, as she cited, “Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white” (par. 6). Amidst Ronson’s personal interviews with Justine Sacco, the two spoke in regards to what she tweeted onto her account. Sacco found her tweets humorous as she was posting them, but was quick to clarify that she was not being racist, when talking with Ronson. She was referred to as a racist person by tens of thousands of people and she believed she was being misread and wrongfully accused. There is a fine line between humor and seriousness when it comes to social media and Sacco lacked the knowledge of this philosophy.

While the President may believe that the US is doing more and gaining almost nothing from having military bases in East Asia, the reasons which will be explained below will argue otherwise with the full intention of convincing the President to continue the political stance taken by previous Presidents. The Trump administration may think that US bases in the East Asian region is not mutually beneficial, but a parasitical relationship, but numbers, statistics, and data beg to disagree. Even from a logical standpoint of diplomacy, the US gains a lot by having its military bases in the region. The President is considering withdrawing our troops if these countries “don’t do their part” but political experts concur that these countries indeed do and exceeds what’s expected of them. While on the veneer, the US receives nothing in return the following paragraphs of facts and logic may convince the President that having such bases is more favourable. The US should unceasingly extend our support to our allies in East Asia and other regions all over the world because it will be beneficial to project our military power and denuclearization is the way of the future.

The word choice of this article makes the paper ineffective and hard to follow. The author of this piece does not use a very intellectual form of vocabulary. Due to the inconsistency, it becomes problematic for the reader because it shows that the author is not very serious about what she is writing. Furthermore, the author is perceived to lack knowledge on the topic due to her poor vocabulary; consequently, this leads to the article being ineffective. The text should have more professional word choice because it is about something that is very serious and can be looked at as an effective piece to use when talking about tweets used to fight against racism. Word choice is a huge factor in making sure your audience can consider you a reliable source.

With technology and spread of media, ignorant news is spread, and believed quickly.¨We live in a culture where everyone's opinion... spill across social media... much of it shaped by mindless meanness and ignorance,” stated by Barnacle, this quote explains the main idea of ignorance, and subjective and biased opinions across social media that are being spread as news. A person who has large fan base of people who look up to them, can change their readers opinion of information with their unsourced and biased opinions, by one simple click. One example of this is started with @girlwithnojob (twitter username) who at the time had a following of 2.8 million, tweeted “ No thanks! There are already enough unwanted Muslims there already.” She said this to former president Barack Obama’s recent visit to Israel. So this is obviously a racist and biased tweet, but with such a large following people believed and agreed with this statement which spread hate at a quick pace. With such a large portion of the population following leaders, followers are prone to follow indoctoite and bigot news; but the spread of ignorance can be stopped with

An event that is sweeping the nation is the 2016 United States Presidential Election. The main two candidates Hillary Clinton, Democrat, and Donald Trump, Republican, have been going head to head and clashing at every corner they can. Both candidates have backgrounds that make the citizens skeptical about who to vote for. Millions of people have been affected by these battles including me; even though I am unable to vote, the future of my country for the next four or eight years is at stake. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both putting up a great fight to show that they both deserve the position as the President of the United States, but is it really worth it?

The other day I was scrolling down my never-ending dashboard on Tumblr, looking for a post to humor me, as I often do, and I came across a set of pictures that depicted a social experiment entitled “Homeless people read mean tweets”. This experiment was based off the Jimmy Kimmel skit “Celebrities read mean tweets”. It first showed a young man walking around the city. He pulled out his phone and opened up Twitter while simultaneously walking up to a middle-aged man, in dirty clothing, sitting on the backside of a curb. He walked up to him and showed him a couple tweets degrading homeless people. Instantly the man started crying, and I wanted to cry with him.

     Upon entering my first semester at Southern Nazarene University I could not have told you my political ideology. I knew what my opinions, observations, expectations, and ideals were, but did not know the proper ideology that would define them. Through several courses that I have taken, I have become more informed as to the role that I would like to see the government take throughout society as a whole and in the economy. Upon reading the section of ideology in American Government and Politics Today: the Essentials I learned that the correct term for my ideology is right-wing Conservatism. I would like to see the government take action if necessary in the economy, yet let

The talk about Refugees has become a hot topic worldwide. A lot of people are taking this back to World War ll. This is because the similarities between what's going on now compared to then. A lot of people are comparing the events to what took place when the United States wouldn't allow any refugees into our country, and caused thousands to die. Both articles show a lot of similarities. To begin, the people being talked about in these articles are both being affected greatly. These people are both struggling to get into America to gain freedom, because their country is in a time of war, or very strict.

First of all, people like to use social media to connect with people and share their own information. Twitter users occasionally tweet only about one particular interest, one side of themselves, or just crack jokes. Another example of that social media is very familiar for everyone is Twitter. In Twitter, campaigners, politicians, and celebrities maintain a constant presence in the online lives of their followers. Followers can share their opinions and thoughts with politician, and talk with their favorite celebrities through Twitter comment. In the case of well-known people, they have the urge to unconsciously tweet and disclose truths which are preferred to be hidden. In the article, “The Twitter hypocrisy of Kenneth Roth: using ‘human rights’ as a weapon against Israel,” Kenneth Roth, who is the executive director of Human Rights Watch, tweets that Israel allegedly has committed many war crimes in the war between Israel and Hamas, but what he fails to mention is that the soldiers of Hamas place their terrorist weapons in populated civilian areas intentionally, and they have more than ample warning from the Israeli forces before a strike (Foreman). Another example of very familiar social media for everyone is Facebook. Now, Facebook is not only posted about positive sides of Facebook users but also about their negative sides. For example, according to New York Times, Ms. Aran Hissam wrote about her daughter on Facebook. She posted her happy news that she was a pregnant on

Jeremy Bentham figured that laws should be socially useful and not merely reflect the status quo. While he believed that men inevitably pursue pleasure and avoid pain, Bentham thought it to be a sacred truth that the greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation. Bentham supposed that morality could be derived from "enlightened self-interest," and that a person who always acted with a view to his own maximum satisfaction in the long run would always act rightly.

Nurse leaders are aware that today’s health care system has many issues complicating the goal of quality patient care and outcomes for all. Nurse leaders must stay informed and become involved as an advocate influencing changes in policy, laws, and/or regulations that govern the health care system they practice in. At times the advocacy requires a nurse leader to become more involved beyond their immediate level of practice and into the world of politics and policy.
