Workers in these textile mills were as young as five years old worked in the mills. Much tension was built up during this time, and surfaced when the US entered into WWI. Many workers lost their jobs and many were killed due to the poor conditions in the mills. Many smaller battles between owners and workers began in 1929, but weren’t successful. Even though the nationwide effort in the General Textile Strike overall was not a success, it did set a precedent for laws to be passed to forever change the workforce that are still enforced in today’s society.
Internment Camps were sort of like witch hunts because people were making judgments on their fellow citizens based on what they thought might happen, ancestry and what people looked like as well. This happened because the Americans were frightened for their country, family and way of lie, so they thought that they would be safer if the Japanese weren’t free. The Japanese Internment Camps were very similar to the Salem witch Trails because neither the accused “witches” or the Japanese Americans weren’t given the opportunity to defend themselves against persecutions. The Japanese were forced to go to these camps regardless of whether they were born in Japan or the US. They were presumed guilty of being a threat instead of being presumed
The above document is an example of propaganda biased in favor of the Loyalists/British. This is because in this document, the colonists are portrayed as vicious and at fault for the events of the Boston Massacre. In the image, the colonists are actively attacking the British as they are being shot at while the British seem almost fearful and to be firing in self defense. This serves as propaganda because it attempts to convince viewers that the Patriot colonists were at fault for the Boston Massacre and the the British were innocent. This is also biased heavily in favor of the British and/or Loyalists because this is what they wanted to prove.
Introducing the article, London claims, “The earthquake shook down in San Francisco hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of walls and chimneys.” This clearly introduces his first thought of the earthquake, and what part of the city meant the most to him. Following the topic sentence, London continues the paragraph describing the infrastructure of the city and how each type of building no longer stands. Businesses, Buildings, and homes are the fundamentals that create a living city, and Jack London is specific in how the earthquake affected these aspects in San Francisco. In addition, London is specific with the city smoke and the conflagration. The fire burns throughout the city and everything that made up San Francisco was disintegrated.
On June 23, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King gave speech at the Great March in Detroit, where 200,000 Detroiters protested segregation in housing. Auto factories had brought African American people from the southern US in large numbers to Detroit and other Michigan cities, yet their neighborhoods had increasingly grown separate, and rarely equal. A writer called Waistline reminded readers of the June 2013 Peoples ' Tribune that the fatal shooting of prostitute Cynthia Scott, shot in the back that year by Detroit Police Officer Spicer who was not brought to trail, further angered the black community. At the Great March, Dr. King 's speech was a version of the "I Have a Dream," later given in the August 1963 March on Washington. The imagery

THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO ASSEMBLE AND PETITION AND THEIR LIMITS It all started with several hundred protesters calling themselves the “Occupy Wall Street” (OWS) movement. They occupied an area in the financial district of Manhattan but they had neither leadership structure, nor a solid list of complaints, besides the social injustice issue, economic inequality and the dominance of the government. But something captured the nation’s attention – their slogan: We are the 99 percent. Soon, the OWS movement became popular among people in other cities. This was something serious so the police forces started to try and force protesters to break up their camps.
He references to “criminals who crossed our borders” with Hypothesis Contrary to Fact fallacy, offering an ill supported claim on what might happen if conditions were different. The United States would still have crime within our borders even if we didn’t allow anyone else into the country, with the use of fallacy, he is implying that one, a large portion of the crime in the US is caused by central American immigrants, and two, that if we “solved” the US’ problem with undocumented immigrants that crime would cease. Secondly, He uses an appeal to emotion, telling the story of a senseless murder committed by someone who was undocumented. By doing this, he changes the mood of the stanza, he makes the audience feel remorse for the victim and maybe even bitterness towards the murder, and subconscious creating the connotation that people like him would do that same. Using the Flesch-Kincaid Test, it rated Trump’s webpage at a college level.
He kidnapped, raped and killed women. Rather than considering him a man with an unsound mind, I firmly believe that such action on his part can be attributed to deep racial hatred and a conviction that sexual desire of men are paramount and can override the willingness of women to engage in the sexual act. Russell, according to me, in these chapters states that ‘femicide’ is a phenomenon that targets women but arises mostly out of racial hatred towards immigrants and thus the issue has a political connotation. Reading her case studies brings me to observe that women who belong to the African-American are more prone to ‘Objectification’ simply because of the stereotype that the Blacks were considered

They soon involved people of all ages, people left their jobs and their lives in order to protest for a more democratic government. On April 22, 1989, when Hu Yaobang’s services were held, thousands of students and protesters gathered outside of the Great Hall of the People in Tiananmen Square in order to protest not only his death but also their government’s communistic ways. As the number of protesters gradually rose and spread to more cities the situation became tenser and on May 13, 1989 the protesters began a hunger strike in an attempt to get more political reforms.

The battle left the city of Berlin in complete ruin, leaving over one million Germans without a home, clean water, or food.
