The Land of the Unfree The word “patriot” has changed in meaning throughout time; however it has always seemed to be defined as someone that vigorously supports their country. Within the last few decades terrorism has become a major issue and if it wasn’t for the creation of the USA Patriot Act in 2001, by President George W. Bush, we probably would have had a larger amount of terrorist attacks then we actually had. The Patriot Act has helped monitor foreign communications, as well as…

elections. The media plays a huge role when it comes to providing voters a platform about the political parties and their respective presidential candidates.

Before, Fidel Castro became president there was a time where Cuba was like the rest of Latin America it held a religious foundation. The Communist Party ruled the island, so churches were closed, nationalized properties owned by a religious organization. Soon, little by little, religion made a comeback; the government eased restrictions on open displays of religion and even churches were reopened.…

As a Criminal Justice Major and to take it even further as an African American male I have found it hard to sometimes distinguish what is legally right and what morally wrong when it comes to justice in certain aspects. This article is an eye opener on another group of people who have been legally and morally wronged by America with its idea of “War on Terrorism”. I’d like to start off with a quote from the last sentence in the article that stated “Then everybody was seen like suspects”. To me…

Rhetoric is the act of writing or speaking in order to persuade. In order to excel as an orator or writer one must be able to convince an audience of the importance of their subject matter. By presenting information in a succinct manner and backing up the main points writers and orators persuade individuals.

In my opinion, the speech ‘I Have A Dream’ by Martin Luther King Jr. was a better speech in many ways than ‘Glory And Hope’ by Nelson Mandela. The similarities between both the speeches were many too. Both the speeches have many metaphors in them like ‘A promissory note, a bad check’ in MLK’s speech and ‘As intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld.’ in Mandela’s speech. The metaphors that are…

Nelson Mandela was in prison for over 27 years, because he had some political opinions. The South Africa government or the Apartheid did not want the black majority in South Africa to have any power of justice. If the Apartheid gave the black majority power, then the British people could lose their advantages, more likely the white people could lose their advantages. Everybody would hate to be in prison for 27 years, they would take revenge. Mandela, but did not take revenge, he was using his…

As it happened in Hemingway’s earlier works such as In Our Time and The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms has also revealed the author’s resentment of war and politicians and before Frederic’s full disillusionment of this occurs, this resentment and political disillusionment has been revealed by many of the author’s characters; Pissani once points out that ‘There is nothing as bad as war. We in the auto-ambulance cannot even realize at all how bad it is” (47). Soon thereafter Pissani adds…
