Submitted By
Words 314
Pages 2
Over 300 years ago the era of the witch hunts took place. Now in 2016, we still see signs of these witch hunts everyday. Specifically during things to do with our president Donald Trump. Trump and his followers are perceived as the good group going after the “witches”, also known as Muslims, immigrants or “terrorists”. Much of the injustices and hysteria of the Salem Witch Trials can still be seen in the issues we deal with today. When campaigning to be the president of the United States, Donald made many racist and discriminating comments. Trump decided on his own that he wants to build a wall and send immigrants “back to where they came from” even though most of them were born in the United States. The good group perceived is Donald Trump

... there's a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It’s anger jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority,lies and ego. The other is good. It's joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, and truth.” The boy thought about it, and asked“ Grandfather, when wolf wins?” The old man quietly replied “ The one you feed.” People choose to be evil.

Comparing The Salem Witch Trials In The Crucible By Arthur Miller

...bullied and abused. This is happening all over the World, and we need to change it. In Arthur Millers the Crucible, Witch Trials were taken place all over Salem. Most trials were corrupt, they were listening to teenagers during the trials. The trials were not accurate, due to them believing the teenagers that were being accurate and not choosing anyone that was weaker or different from the group of teenagers. The teenagers were choosing anyone less superior to them. This is happening in real life. Teens of all ages and even adults are making fun of Muslims due to their religion. Both the Salem witch trials and our actions and views show that fearing something we do not understand causes hatred toward a group of people. The Salem witch trials show that fearing something we do not understand causes our actions to get out of hand. In The Crucible...

Why Did Arthur Miller Wrote The Crucible

...America won't be the same anymore. People were also being thrown in jail from court hearings not from court trials. Arthur Miller had to write the Crucible in a different country because McCarthy was coming after him. Britain was happy to take him in. He wrote the Crucible out of desperation and it branched out from a typical depression era trauma. His marriage was teetering and he tied in his marriage to the story. He based most of his marriage on John Proctor and Abigail Williams. John kept cheating...

The Ways We Lie Analysis

...children. Finally, from “The Crucible,” the play said that there was an affair between Abigail and and John Proctor, but in real times, there was no evidence to support that claim. All of these examples from “The Crucible” relate to one of the ways of lying, omission. According to Ericsson, omission is, “telling the truth minus one or two key facts whose absence changes the story completely.” In real-life, people tell lies faster than anybody can one single truth. Many lies come from the news world and today’s politicians. Politicians tell many lies and things that you want to hear so they can earn your vote, as well as trash their opponent to make them look bad. That is all Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton do in this year’s election. They tarnish each others reputation to make the other person look bad. A lie that Trump has said about Hillary and her...

Bloodlines of the Illuminati

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...
