Anti-war
8 Words Too Little- War In Iraq
"Bullets are going into hearts of little ones.
Kids dodging bombs just to get home
To find out their loved ones have gone"
The lyrics of this song are expressing how much the kids suffer because of the war. There are kids that unfortunetly end up in the area in which the war is going on and either they end up getting hurt or have to come home to no parents.
This song is similar to the songs from the vietnam war because they are anti-war. Telling the liteners how much people actually suffer but those are not the things we see.

Meritocracy
Meritocracy is an elite group of people whose progress is based on ability and talent rather than on class privilege or wealth. During the time of segregation meritocracy was the complete opposite. People had a bigger opportunity in progress due to their social class and wealth which mostly involved white people. Colored perople did not have nearly half as much of privalage and opportunity as the white. Whether it was in school or at work. In A Class Divided, where the students perform better on the phonics task when they are in the group labeled superior than when those same students are in the group designated as inferior. Is an example of meritocracy, although it may be true people dont have the same mind set while working with the superior or the inferior group. I believe that you shouldnt set your mind on how far or how much you will achive according to the people around you. That should be a personal goal whether your are working with the best or the worst.

There were a couple of races that i was not able to survey because none of the people i was able to ask these questions were neither of those races. Out of all the people i surveyed most of the people were hispanic because it was my family or close friends parents which are hispanic. All the people graduated high school and most college there was not much of a difference and the couple of people that didnt graduate from college did have reasonable reason for doing so. Our disscussion in class was about the white people having a greater advantage and i agree with that but in my survey it may look diffrent due to the fat tat most of the people i survayed where hispanic.

TV!
It was n my drafts i didnt click post SORRY!
Many people dont realize how much television influences EVERTYHING we do. May sound a little exxagerated but its true. Television is one of the best ways for companies to sell their products. As such a larger group of consumers in America we want everything we see. Commercials are what mostly influence us. All the commercials about gum, shoes, cars, toys, phones etc. Make every generation want to spend their money on that product. Television also influences us in very positive ways such as donating for a special cause such as the kids in other countries, animals, or children fighting against cancer. Some things shown on tv are not always a positive influence, for example some reality shows that are just about partying and getting wasted teens watch that and get influenced by others actions, same way a song or a video game influences people in the wrong way tv shows have an even greater effect.

Sexism
This ad demonstrates the concept of sexism because it shows how the husband bought his wife a mixer to cook. As if it made cooking easier and better for women to cook. This portrays the idea that men use to believe that women were better in the kitchen and thats where they belong. But their wrong. The men thought that just because they bought their wifes electronics to help with the kitchen it would make it better for them to be in the kitchen. "thats what wives are for" in the text on the ad is what mainly shows how women were seen in the 1950's. It is unfair and very sexist that men thought that way of women. Women are just as equal as men
Rockwell Art
Only if you knew what i really felt inside. I don't think i have felt this happy in a very long time. It was a very beautiful snowy cold morning and i was fast asleep when my mom walks in my room more excited than ever. She was jumping around like a little girls telling me and my little sister to wake up. Its been a while since I've seen such a big smile on my mothers face. I quickly got up and asked her why she was so happy. After a huge hug she gave us , she tells us that my father was coming home soon, she said he called her and told her they were finally letting him come home. Once she told us we all started dancing around and now our feelings were just like my moms! A year after my little sister was born, she is now 6. As soon as she told us the wonderful news we all ran over the the big window in my parents bedroom on the second floor that faces the front yard. We all sat there impatiently waiting for my dad to pull up and after many years feel his great big teddy bear hugs.

WWII Gas Mask
The masks were made of black rubber, which was very hot and smelly. It was difficult to breathe when wearing a gas mask. When you breathed in the air was sucked through the filter to take out the gas. When you breathed out the whole mask was pushed away from your face to let the air out.The smell of the rubber and disinfectant made some people feel sick. Gas had been used a great deal in the First World War and many soldiers had died or been injured in gas attacks. Mustard gas was the most deadly of all the poisonous chemicals used during World War I. It was almost odourless (could not be smelt easily) and took 12 hours to take effect. It was so powerful that only small amounts needed to be added to weapons like high explosive shells to have devastating effects.

Letter to the Principal
Dear Dr. Rhinehart,
I am writing to you to about my concern on whether history books used in school should be censored. As we all know history is a very important class. I believe that it is one of the most important because without it our generations and the next ones wouldnt know how we came to where we are now. In history we all learn about past events that have influenced on how the world is today. We learn about mistakes Empires made that lead to their downfall as well as the history certain people made, and all the wars the world have gone through. But the text books we get in classes seem to only tell us what we want to hear. We never hear the COMPLETE truth about all the horrendous things nations have gone through. Some topics that are not in ext books may be a really bad things to talk about, but it is better if wee know the truth than grow up believing that nothing ever went wrong. Because like any people have said the past may reoccur and if we dont know about those inhumane events we would not even know what to expect if that were ever to happen again, no matter what it is part of our history. In my opinion text books should not be censored or written with part of the truth of certain events, they should include all of the good and the bad times in the history of ALL the nations and not hide part of our own history , no matter how bad it may have been.
Sincerely
Paola Angarita

Evolution v.s Religion
During the 1930's it was unlawful for teacher to teach or lecture their students about evolution. During that time period it was mandatory for teachers to teach about creation and religion. Americans were completly opposed to evolution during the 1930's. John Scopes was a high school teacher put on trial for teaching students about evolution. Now a days it is the complete apposite, teachers are not allowed to teach or lecture their students about religion. Every one has their ow belief on how we have come to how we are today. People may have a different point of view but for all we know, neither of them may be right, or they might be. Either of these theories do not have an actual 100% defnition. No one knows the absolute truth. In my opinion, neither of them should be baned from teaching. Why teach one and not the other ? Teaching religion and evolution is school should be allowed because this way students will learn about both theories and from there they can believe which ever one they believe is true. I dont agree with having one or the other, just because you teach religion doesnt mean that you have to convert into that religion. Learning about it doesnt mean your are forced to believe what you are being taught. I believe teaching both would not be easy but it doesnt seem right that in the 1930's religion was allowed to be taught and now it is not, it should just be fair and allow eacher to teach about both theories. Either way it will never be one hundered percent sure on how humas got here and how it all started.

Trial of Sacco and Vanzetti
Invertigating the Sccco and Vanzetti case has been one of the most interesting yet tough tasks throughout my career. These two men were Italian anarchists that were charged for robbery and murder. Here is sme background information on these two men, they were both born in Italy, Bartolomeo Vanzetti was born on June 11, 1988 in Villafalletto was born innorthern Italy. And Nicola Sacco was born in Torremaggiore southern Italy on April 22, 1891. The two met on may of 1917 in Boston at a meeting of Galleanist Anarchists.
Throughout their lives they committed many crimes, right now they are on trial. Their trial lasted a very long time. they have spent a lot of money on a lawyer they believe will get them out f this mess. In their case it will be very hard and there wont even be enough moneyto find a lawyer good enough to protect them. They had more people on the prosecution witnesses than on the defense witness side. As we all know many people are comletly for them to be sentenced for a very long time because of all of the things they did. They were very dangerous men. They owned very dangerous guns with out a liscence. They have killed and wounded many people, with these two men around was not safe at all. On July 10, 1927 they were sentnced to serve their time. They tought that by writting letters and petitions to the judge and the people on the jury they would have a way of getting out. During the trial they were both asked many questions and there were many lies told during this trial which shows the criminals consciousness of guilt. Sacco lied about where he was on the day of the crime why he had a gun with him on the crime date amd were he bought it and his anarchist convictions.
After all the lies and the evidence from the gun, and bullet i believe that they got what they deserved They were executed by electric chair, a terribly painful death. The jury believed them to be guilty of the crimes. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed after seven years of waiting for their sentence. The jury was correct in finding Sacco and Vanzetti guilty. The bullet matched the gun that it came from exactly.

crime small group
After seeig all the presentations on all the gansters from te prohibition era, taught me the true meaning of a gangster. Now days the word gangster is not used the way it really is. Gangster from the prohibiton era were very dangerous people who impacted a lot in man peoples lives. Being a gangster had a very big meaning to it, from robbing to kidnapping, murder etc. They were very dangerous people over all. Their life cosisted of crime, and their lives ended due to one of their crimes. The gangsterwee aslo very smart, they planed up increadible crimes and sometimes got caught but they would escape fom jail , not once but several times. These presentations showed me that ll gagsters are very similar yet theyhad completly different lies and becuse of them during the prohibition era the police was reinforced.
