By reading the articles, the debate questions addressed by both arguments are about the poly changes in national securities or homeland securities after the terrorist attack on Sept 11, 2001. The tragedy made all Americans afraid of their safety in flying an airplane and made them felt miserable when their friends had died on the attacked. It is very important that the US need to take measures to improve homeland securities to eliminate any possibilities from terrorist attack (terrorist threat) again. The US have employed extra security measures rather than sacrificing security of the people for some comfort and convenience.
The viewpoint of the writer on John Ashcroft (Attorney General) is basically to point out on the Patriot Act that brought the latest law to prevent the terrorist. One of the Ashcroft opinion on this articles is “Once detained, these lawbreakers are accorded the rights to which they are entitled.” I think the INS plays an important role to conduct as a front line in the border that guard the US from the terrorist threat, but it might give an uncomfortable feeling for foreigner who has nothing to do with the terrorist activity. I have a friend who has a citizenship of Oman, but he is originally from India who immigrated to Oman when he was child. One of the times when he was returning back from vacation to enter the US he has a problem with the immigration due to his citizenship of Oman. Well this situation might happen to a lot for the people who come from Middle East countries who want to enter the US. Another statement that the writer mentioned is “To keep the public informed, we have consistently released criminal documents and redacted Immigration and Naturalization Service document as they have been unsealed. We would violate our own creed, a pillar of justice, if we aside civil liberties in pursuit terrorist.” This statement concluded that any kind of possible actions will be taken by the authorities to avoid any threat from terrorist attacks. It might violate the civil liberties in order to get a full action against the terrorist threat.
The writer view on Anthony D. Romeo, Executive Director of ACLU, was assurance that the Josh Ashcroft and President George W. Bush would not erode civil liberties in oppose to this crisis. One of the examples of that is when Romeo stated that “From establishing military tribunal without limiting judicial oversight, from expanding wiretapping authority while limiting judicial oversight, from.
The purpose of this article is to persuade the reader that social media is the new alternative to mainstream big money ads for politicians. Cary’s intended audience is politicians, political campaign managers and politically engaged citizens. The tone of this article is informative but slightly opinionated.

Working hard is the key to success. This struggle for success is most commonly called the “American Dream.” The aspect of the American Dream has been around forever and is often the underlying theme in many pieces of American literature. The theme of the American is especially presented in Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Two Kinds writer by Amy Tan, and in “Sophistication” by Sherwood Anderson.
The American Dream is a thought that everyone has at some point. Some are bigger than others and some are harder than others, but everyone hopes to accomplish their American Dream. In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck shows that the American Dream is a myth, not a reality. John Steinbeck shows the American Dream being a myth through a few of the characters in Of Mice and Men. For example, Lennie, Curley’s Wife, and Candy all have American Dreams, but they also have some obstacles that stop them from completing their American Dream.
The American Dream by default is a selfish and materialistic concept based on an individual having more than his neighbour; and always striving to have more, no matter how much they’ve gained. Of Mice and Men explores the American Dream as an individual seemingly impossible dream evolving into a communal, increasingly realistic future; reshaping the possibility of what the American Dream means to me. Throughout Of Mice and Men there is a multitude of different individual dreams that range in varying levels of stereotypical ideals to small innocent desires, however, when these dreams collide there suddenly becomes hope to even the most hopeless of characters. From the different dreams inside a shared dream – to “Live off the fatta the lan’”
Labelling our world has been a human constant; it’s how the human world is rationalized. It’s something we all do in order to asses what we have and what we need to do. Labels are used for everything, whether it be people, language, or a country, and by labelling things we set them apart by the rest and decide on our stance accordingly. In his article “Lonely Places” Pico Iyer labels the countries he visited as lonely places and explains why these countries do not fit in with the rest and why they’re isolated. From the start, with Iyer’s explanation of the ritual he has with his friends in Cuba, the readers get a sense of what exactly he means by a lonely place. Describing the atmosphere in those countries the author tries to justify his reasoning for labelling these countries as lonely places. Labelling countries as “lonely places” is too biased and condescending because these places aren’t really lonely, and the term lonely adds a negative connotation
One of the properties that allow social media to be an attractive tool to use by politicians is the ability to attract a massive audience of users. The Pew Research Center suggests that there is a growing number of social media users. A whooping 73% of US adults use the internet (Social Networking Fact Sheet). These...
Protagonist George and antagonist Lennie share a powerful friendship formed when they were children who played together, and at the center of this friendship is a dream. Their dream is created due to their yearn for their own place, something which Crooks, the stable boy, points out as “Never seen it before” (Steinbeck 62) despite his years of working on farms. Their wish for a new home, their own, also spurns from their despise of not being dependent on someone for an occupation, as they would rather be their own boss, as George says, “An’ no one will tell us what to do” (Steinbeck 81).However, this dream is necessary to both of them even more as it would become a sanctuary for Lennie, the main character who due to mental retardation is unable to cop...
The American Dream and its impossibility is the central message of Of Mice and Men. In Of Mice and Men, which Steinbeck wrote around the time of the Great Depresson, The American Dream embodies itself in
The researchers present findings that indicate that a politician’s popularity in the voting booth may be related to the frequency with which the candidate is talked about on social media. The researchers goes on to discuss how further research may conclude that social media has a bigger impact on voting outcomes than traditional forms of media, and how that could potentially shape the future of voting.
Nora is the beloved, adored wife of Torvald Helmer. He is well respected, and has just received a promotion to the bank manager. Torvald also obtains high moral standards but he is very controlling and materialistic. During the first scene the couple is discussing the issue of borrowing money. Torvald says to Nora "…you know what I think about that. No debts! Never borrow! Something of freedom’s lost-and something of beauty, too- from a home that’s founded on borrowings and debt. We’ve made a brave stand up to now, the two of us, and we’ll go right on like that the little way we have to."
The lost generation was a group of writers who gained much popularity and grew in their literary expansion post WWI from 1918 through 1930. (Lost Generation) Prior to enlisting in the war, Americans were promised an upbringing of patriotism and honor for serving one’s country. They found returning home that the honor in which they believed to be fighting for was nothing more than witnessing innocent men killed. Upon returning back from WWI the image of patriotism and honor faded when the realism of the after effects of the war and the consequence became apparent in our young men. World War I destroyed the virtuous envision young American men had towards their country when they returned home after witnessing friends dying in battle and many returning home in a state that left them both physically and emotionally impaired. (The Lost Generation: American Writers of the 1920's)
The purpose of this essay is to develop a further understanding of the impacts of social media in regards to the political debate. By looking at the topic of social media and the use rhetoric in response to politics in the 21st century, a deeper understanding of the issue can be established.
