...Madhuri Sathish states, “A 2016 report from the Southern Poverty Law Center identified 718 Confederate monuments and statues scattered across the country — and not all of them are found in Southern states.” A substantial number of people are protesting and arguing over whether or not we should keep the Confederate monuments or destroy them. The monuments have distinguished themselves as a huge part of our history, and the monuments demonstrate the fact that our country has not been ever been perfect. If we destroy our Confederate monuments, then we will not be able to remember all the great things that come from our history; preserving all parts of our past and our history is crucial to remaining strong as a nation. The argument for why we should remove the Confederate monuments has many valid reasons. Americans should not praise the South because they seceded from the country and started a civil war, these leaders could be considered traitors against the U.S. Constitution, because they advocating the state's right to own slaves. Bob Cesca in his article states, “Consequently, it became publicly acceptable — normalized, as we say these days — to have monuments to traitors against the...

...Should the government cut funds to the NPS? I believe that no they should not be cut. National Parks are a big part of teaching us about our country’s past and provides us with a way to see how our ancestors may have lived. Linda J. Bilmes and John Loomis’s article, “Americans Think National Parks Are Worth Way More than We Spend on Them” states, “From Yellowstone to Ellis Island, the 412 places that NPS protects tell America’s story.” There are many benefits to having these historical sites. These benefits include, protecting these sites for future generations, teaching kids about nature, and providing a way for Native American people to keep in touch with their culture. National parks have always been a huge part of the United States. The National Park Service (NPS) funds and manages these national parks. National parks are...

...Should they change the name of Confederate monuments because of the issue on racism? The names of monuments should not be changed. It is very important that we do not make light of the history of the Confederacy. The names of leaders in the Confederacy should not be forgotten. We should always remember their names and faces because they were an important part of our history. The United States would not be what it is today without those people and the Civil War. Schools that are named after the Confederacy should also remain for the same reasons. You do not just name a monument or a school after someone or something without reasoning. We must stand behind our reasoning just like the Confederacy stood behind their reasons for succession. Parks that are named after Confederate battles should also keep their names. This is a very educational chance for children and teenagers to learn about the battles. If parks have a replica of a battle field they should remain intact. This is a wonderful way for children to get an idea of the areas and conditions that the Confederate soldiers fought...

...The Confederate flag should bother people. Confederate monuments do and should continue to bother people, but here's the rub; People don't understand what these things mean to our future. Not our past, our future. These things are signposts on the road we began walking centuries ago. They are warnings not to do what they stand for, what they represent. They are lessons. People continue to remove these lessons because they deem them offensive, and this is unhealthy. Along these same lines, do we outlaw bratwurst because it may offend those of Jewish faith? Do we outlaw sushi because the Japanese attacked us on December 7th 1941? These things are not offensive to most people but the symmetry is there. Our history is a framework for our...

...As many know, even after slavery, African Americans were still not treated equal in our society. They still had to go through many hardships in America, but thankfully, as of now we live in a truly equal country. Even though that still is the past, today African Americans still face some sort of hardships, such as racism. I’m not singling African Americans out as the only ones honored here. The engraving from earlier pertains to those who have faced some kind of injustice and/or hardship in their life, so it could be anybody who falls under that tragedy will be remembered by this memorial. When you find out this memorial takes on a bigger part than what it is based on, it makes it even more remarkable and appreciable. If you were wondering, this memorial is open to the public free of charge. It really isn’t something you should miss if you happen to be out in New York. It has very deep social integration with local gatherings almost every week, and is right in the middle of a big part of town. It can act as a rendezvous point with friends, or a fun, relaxing place to go to after a long day. It has really beautiful lighting at night, and really stands out from other things you see in your adventure...

...The Parthenon was created in the 5th BC and is an architectural and symbolic part of ancient Greece. In 1805 Lord Elgin transported half of the Parthenon sculptures from Athens to Britain after seeing the sculptures in ruins and in 1816 were acquired by the British museum. In 1999 Greece requested the return of the Parthenon statues for the first time. From then on the Greek and the British Governments have debated who gets to keep the sculptures. In my opinion the Parthenon sculptures should not be returned to Greece because; the sculptures were taken with full knowledge and acceptance from the Greek government, moving the marbles may cause more damage, the sculptures are easily accessible to the general public in Britain, the British Government has maintained the sculptures well since 1816, and without all the sculptures and the Athenian temple the original concept of balance through symmetry will never be as meaningful and understood....

...shows a Philippine woman on her knees before soldiers that are liberating her, but what it should have shown is her running away fearing for her life. Brig. General Jake Smith was told to “pacify” the island and this what he told his troops, “Turn the entire Island into a howling wilderness, I want no prisoners. I wish to kill and burn; the more you kill and burn the better it will please me.” This marker in Minnesota isn’t the only one; there are about fifty of these statues around the country. Basically, every line on this monument is a lie or deception. It tries to lump the Spanish-American war and Philippine-American war into one big pot. The words on this monument say that the Spanish-American war lasted five years from “1898-1902” and mention nothing about the Philippine-America War, which American historians now agree to be more accurate. In fact, military historian John Collins judged that the war dragged on to 1913 and serious incidents continued as late as 1916 in the Philippines. The United States tried to portray this war as some kind of uprising by a few tribes to hide our imperialist ways, but by referring to the people as tribes and their leader as “Chief” are simply ways to deceive the American people by using derogatory language in much the same way we called our American Indians savages. It seems to be easier to convince and gain support from our people to kill others if they are savages, Chinese, Indians, or any other race that is...

...In the novel Monument 14, the kids went through many difficult situations which caused them to grow and change so they were able to survive. The three characters in the book that change in order to survive are Niko, Dean, and Josie. Niko at the beginning of the story he a natural born survivalist which is why they called him Brave Hunter Man. At the end of the story, he becomes the leader and the voice of the group. At the beginning of the story, Josie couldn't handle pressure she was in shock and is afraid. In the end, she becomes the “mom” of all the kids and became a real leader. Dean also handles pressure very poorly but by the end, he is a leader that has made sacrifices. Dean is a character that changes a lot in the story. He is not very strong and is afraid. While they are on the bus and it is on its side he gives up. Dean stated “ I should go to sleep now was the thought that came into my head”(Laybourne 8). This shows that when Dean is in trouble he wants to give up and doesn't fight. He is currently being poisoned and instead of realizing it, he chooses to sleep. Dean says “ “ We're going to die !” And I thought They’re right. Yes, we’ll die. But it’s ok.” (Laybourne 8). In this quote from the text...

...federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Their intent was to take rifles and start massive insurrection of slavery and eventually spread it among the nation. However, when the raid started not a lot of people were willing to join the rebellion so Brown led a small army of 18 men. Brown didn’t even know what is the next step and didn’t have any escape road, he literally led his men including his four sons to a death road. Brown’s main intent was to seize slaves for the rebellion, although he denied it. John Brown was seen as a terrorist and his violent actions led to the American Civil War. Even though his believes proclaimed a righteous intent his actions were not supporting such way of thinking. He killed lots of men and was going to keep doing so until all four million slaves are going to be freed. But that could not have happened because people couldn't set their minds and couldn't believe that white men is equal to black. This believe was counted as insane and John brown was considered as crazy and violent man. Although there were other rebellions against slavery before and after but none of them were so violet and cruel. John Brown chose the worst way to reach his goals and failed because he was unprepared for any actions against him. He was trapped and found guilty in every single court of the US later he was executed or exactly hanged. Therefore, John Brown...

...The Southern Railroad aided slaves to escape and travel north. The Northern network would keep slaves in stations (hiding places of safety), to keep them from being returned to the south. It was important to ensure slaves would not be captured because of the active search for runaway slaves. Slave owners and masters printed advertisements for their escaped slaves in newspapers. Rewards for runaway slaves ranged from $20 to $100 depending on where they were found (Advertisements for Runaway Slaves). These rewards only encouraged whites to turn into slaves, making the journey to the North challenging. According to the “Selected Routes of the Underground Railroad'' Map, lengthy routes can be seen reaching the Northern States. Some routes started in Southern states like Louisiana and Florida and ended up in Mexico or the Caribbean. These arduous routes made the...

...soul; he is admitted into the realm of the spirit; and his rejoicing will increase according as he realizes the magnificence of the soul. But the soul can best learn its own greatness from the great works of art; hence he turns to those great works, but in turning to them, he finds that these are by no means mere effigies, or monuments, but things which have souls also; these live in the noblest element of God’s fire, free from all corruption; hence he prays for death, for release from his mortal body; and since the insouled monuments exhibit the possibility of the soul’s existence in some other matter than flesh, he wishes reincarnation, not now in a mortal body, but in the immortal and changeless embodiment of art. There are thus the following terms, one might say, from which the poem suspends: the condition of the young, who are spiritually passive although sensually active; the condition of the merely old, who are spiritually and physically impotent; the condition of the old, who, although physically impotent, are capable of spiritual activity; the condition of art considered as inanimate—that is, the condition of things which are merely monuments; and finally the condition of art considered as animate—as of such...

...had one or two parents to show them to get through the unsteady difficulties life brings to all human beings. The problem is that none of these children are being raised right nor given good advice that will help them succeed in life. Countless people believe that if a child grows up in an unstructured household, then he or she will not be instilled with the right morals, ethics, and values, which is untrue. But, today, the youth in our society is being inspired by the ignorance we see on social media and it is not heading in the direction of righteousness. In the essay “Advice to Youth” by Mark Twain, he offers some seemly good advice to the young people. The advice he offers is that “all young people are given rules or advice to guide them as they grow up and to keep them on the right path to live a good life”. Mark Twain states “Always obey your parents, when they are present”. Yes, you should obey your parents, but if they are not present, you cannot solely rely on their standing orders to make the best decision. Of course you should be respectful to your superiors, but if those same people are not respectful to you then you cannot be expected to continue the gesture of being respectful towards them. With a statement like that, society presumes children are more likely to have behavior problems because they would not believe in showing respect toward their elders. If Mark Twain was serious then I would have to say this is some the worst advice I have ever read. The...
