...Race Relations The three articles Bartoleme de Las Casas: Brief Account of the Devastation of the Indies (1542), Andrew Jackson's Speech to Congress on Indian Removal (1830), and Helen Hunt Jackson, A Century of Dishonor (New York, 1881) all speak about the slavery and mistreatment of the Indians. They give suggestions on ways to fix the problem of the mistreatment of Indians and give testimony on the mistreatment. In Bartolome de Las Casas: Brief Account of the Devastation of the Indies (1542), he talked about how Indians were enslaved and killed. The lands of Hispaniola which were extremely populated became less populated as more Spaniards arrived and began to kill and enslave Indians. The author stated “Yet into this sheepfold, into this land of meek outcasts there came some Spaniards who immediately behaved like ravening wild beasts, wolves, tigers, or lions that had been starved for many days.” Also, Indians from Puerto Rica and Jamaica were being brought from their land to Hispaniola to be sold as slaves some were killed. In Andrew Jackson's Speech to Congress on Indian Removal (1830), he talked about removing the Indians from their current homes to a new home to avoid them being killed. He describes that they (the government) will pay to relocate the Indians. Jackson says that since two Indian tribes have already accepted the offer and that because of that he hopes more will accept it. Jackson writes that “It will separate the Indians from immediate contact with...

...Seen by most as the birthmark of French Literature, as well as perhaps the greatest and oldest chanson de geste (epically heroic poems that began to appear in the late eleventh century), La Chanson de Roland is undoubtedly a landmark in Medieval Literature. It celebrates the heroic feats of count Roland, Charlemagne’s nephew and right-hand, in serving his country, his king and his faith. A large variety of themes, including religion, faith, loyalty, bravery and heroism, amongst others, recur throughout La Chanson de Roland. I intend to draw upon a few of these themes, paying particular attention to what is considered by most as the climax of the chanson, Roland’s death; more specifically, laisses CLXXI and CLXXII. The importance given to Christian faith and God is both evident and undeniable throughout the chanson, and portrayed quite accurately in laisses CLXXI and CLXXII. For instance, Roland’s plea for help to ‘Sainte Marie’, to an extent, indicates this. Despite Roland's inherent stubbornness and arguably excessive pride, seen, for instance, through his reluctance to blow the Oliphant knowing that defeat was imminent, he doesn’t hesitate in seeking both comfort and help from celestial powers. Further religious importance is revealed through the divine powers Charlemagne is accredited: ‘Carles esteit es vals de Moriane, Quant Deus del cel li mandat par sun angle’. Here, as with his prophetic dreams, Charlemagne, the king, someone who would have been widely admired, and...

...spirit reawakened when the 3 priests Gomez, Burgos and Zamora were guillotined without sufficient evidence of guilt. This occurred on the 17thof February. This was buttressed with the spirit of liberalism when the Philippines opened its doors to world trade and with the coming of a liberal leader in the person of Governor Carlos Maria de la Torre. The Spaniards were unable to suppress the tide of rebellion among the Filipinos. The once religious spirit transformed itself into one of nationalism and the Filipinos demanded changes in the government and in the church. A. The Propaganda Movement (1872-1896) This movement was spearheaded mostly by the intellectual middle-class like Jose Rizal, Marcelo del Pilar; Graciano Lopez Jaena, Antonio Luna, Mariano Ponce, Jose Ma. Panganiban, and Pedro Paterno. The objectives of this movement were to seek reforms and changes like the following: 1. To get equal treatment for the Filipinos and the Spaniards under the law. 2. To make the Philippines a colony of Spain. 3. To restore Filipino representation in the Spanish Cortes. 4. To Filipinize the parishes. 5. To give the Filipinos freedom of speech, of the press, assembly and for redress of grievances. B. Highlights of the Propaganda Movement There were three principal leaders of the Propaganda movement. They were Jose P. Rizal, Marcelo H. del Pilar and Graciano Lopez Jaena. Here are highlights about them and what they have done for our country. DR. JOSE P. RIZAL Jose Protacio...

British travellers contributed to portray Spain as a paradigm of the picturesque. They found in Spain those values which they looked for in their respective countries without success, such as the sublime and the exotic. They all share a similar image of Spain : a land full of exoticism and adventures where time seemed to have been stopped....

...The Act not only protects specific species, but the environment they live in as well. In this way protection under the ESA for a single species can preserve entire ecosystems. The Endangered Species Act is an example of intelligent human foresight to preserve for the future while bearing the costs of preservation today. When Richard Nixon signed the act in 1973 he gave a short speech that is worth quoting in its entirety and addresses, among other things, Pinchot’s idea of what conservation is. “I have today signed S. 1983, the Endangered Species Act of 1973. At a time when Americans are more concerned than ever with conserving our natural resources, this legislation provides the Federal Government with needed authority to protect an irreplaceable part of our national heritage--threatened wildlife. This important measure grants the Government both the authority to make early identification of endangered species and the means to act quickly and thoroughly to save them from extinction. It also puts into effect the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora signed in Washington on...

...Author Rafael Zulueta da Costa (born 1915) is a Filipino poet. He uses the name R. Zulueta da Costa as a writer, and Rafael Zulueta as a businessman. He was a graduate of De La Salle College (now University) where he specialized in business administration. He began writing poems in Spanish and later he also wrote in English. His most famous work is Like the Molave and Other Poems, which won the Commonwealth Literary Award for Poetry in 1940. 2. Molave is a strong and huge tree that will never sway at typhoon times. We will scrutinize the message of his speech in a general thought. His message focuses on lifting up the people’s courage to become vigorous, strong, resilient, and staunch. People must be strong and have the fighting spirit to conquer nation’s battle. The adjectives that grow the nation are for the people to become righteous, self-disciplined, brave and patriotic. Life’s chasms must be empowered with the survival to the fittest. Moreover, the speech touches the lives of the Filipino people to stand and be like a molave at troubled times. 3. The poem entitled Like the Molave was written by Rafael Zulueta Da Costa. It explains why Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippine national hero, must wait for his dream of the Filipino youth to be the future leaders of the land. i think its the author itself. He expresses his thoughts,feelings or emotions by writing a poem. He wants the Filipinos especially Rizal, to wake up and start to make a move to claim the freedom of the...

...Abstract: The city of La Oroya’s, population is about 35,000 residents whose economy depends on one company Doe Run, that is creating health and environmental problems all around its surroundings, by releasing poisonous chemicals such as lead, sulfur dioxide, arsenic, cadmium, antimony, copper, and zinc. The environment is suffering the consequences from the emissions of smelter that causes acid rain and makes it almost impossible for vegetation to survive and animals to feed themselves. In addition, the smelter emits heavy black smoke consisting of “1.5 tons of lead and 810 tons of sulfur dioxide on a daily basis,” (Salazar, 1) into to the atmosphere. This kind of air pollution affects 99% of children since they are under the age of six and are still developing physically and mentally; this includes pregnant women. As a result, parents are faced with difficult decision between their child’s health and having job to survive. Several programs such as “Program of Adaptation and Environmental Handling” have been put into place to help reduce the detrimental effect air pollution has on La Oroya’s residents. ________________________________________ Since 1922, the adults and children in the small mining town of La Oroya have “been exposed to toxic emissions emitted from the local factory that specializes in poly-metallic-smelter,” (Blacksmith Institute, 21). What are the toxic substances? Located in the Peruvian Andes, roughly 112 miles from Lima, La Oroya is considered one...

...manner. On Monday Kaepernick had a service member of the armed forces right in front of him and he still refused to stand. To me if there was a person fifty feet from me and in uniform I would definitely thank them for their service to our country. The Star Spangled Banner is an honor to America and for someone to disrespect that is just plain out rude. 2) The tradition is more important to honor is The Star Spangled Banner then to use freedom of speech. Firstly, the song was written in 1812 when our nation was under attack and shows strengths of our nation when it is played such as “the land of the free and home of the brave.” Also I believe that these show Americas first amendment rights with being free and able to do many things as people of the United States we are able to do. 3) The Argument’s that I agreed with in the articles is that the song is engrained in people’s heads and will be hard to ever change (LA Times). Also from the LA times I agreed with the quote “How much emotion in a piece of cloth or song people let out” (LA Times). I agree that American’s get wrapped up have a strong nationalism when they hear the Anthem to show pride in our country and the freedoms we have. Lastly, I agree with Mr. Kaepernick on that we should not show pride in a flag when we have had the amount of racial tensions with police and citizen’s lately (Washington post). But the anthem of the United States should still be a tradition we honor even if our tensions it should make us want to...
