    My thoughts on this issue came from internet and my own beliefs. Because government shouldn’t have total control over your life. Also it’s not affecting anyone else if they’re doing it for their own good. Also the government shouldn 't say it shouldn 't be allowed because that could be government supporting christianity and their beliefs about suicides. I rank myself as a liberal on this topic, because most democrats think we should have the euthanasia procedure.…

    right thing and Zinn provides evidence to support all of these people. For example, African Americans fought for equality for generations in hopes that their children would live a better life than them. Many of them were involved with the rebellions around the 60s; they felt a need to rebel since peaceful protests did not make any changes. By acting up and letting their voices becoming heard, civil rights laws were passed in 1960, 1964, and 1957. These laws promised voting equality, and employment equality.…

    The 2016 presidential election was a unique election cycle in the sense that it did not follow normal election cycle protocol, and the result was one that has rarely occurred in American history, where a candidate wins the popular vote, yet loses the Electoral College and the presidency. A small majority of Americans wanted Secretary Clinton to be President, yet Mr. Trump won the Electoral College and 2016 Presidential Election. Even though Secretary Clinton won the popular vote, she still lost the general election. This is one of the few times in U.S. history where the popular vote did not coincide with the Electoral College decision. According to Thomas Patterson (2013), author of We the People, the elections of 1824, 1876, 1888, and 2000 were the only elections where a candidate won the presidency after losing the popular vote (p. 400).…

    In his article “The Tragedy of the American Military”, James Fallows discusses how the majority of the American public holds the military in high esteem, but has little to no knowledge about military affairs. In turn, the United States is more likely to go to war and turn a blind eye towards sound military spending. Although I agree with the author on most of his arguments, I do not completely agree with all of them. The author states that the press does not voice public skepticism about the military as they do about other American institutions. I believe that the public is in more in touch with other institutions that have a direct effect on them.…
