Strike on SOA

coup d'etat which means basically a sudden and decisive action in politics one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force. The United States are using this technique for the SOA(School of America) which is a combat training school. These schools are for Latin Americans to be trained to become soldiers once they graduate. When they are soldiers they become violent such as torture, assassinate, massacres, religious, and even rape. In my opinion I am definately against this as these people become an outrage to just killing who ever they feel like even if the persons innocent. For example, The Commission on the Truth was so named because its very purpose and function have been to seek, find and make public the truth about the acts of violence committed by both sides in El Salvador during a civil war in which more than 75,000 Salvadorans were killed. This report attempts to set out, with detailed examples based on extensive testimony and investigation, responsibility for some of the worst and most widespread violations of human rights in El Salvador between 1980 and July 1991 because of citings of SOA. This needs to stop as more people would die if the SOA are not put into an end.

Poor West Indian Worker :(

Well Im just another West Indian Worker who has to do whatever the Americans tell me to do for them. Today is May 24, 1906 and My companions and I been working hard building under a hot weather. Sometimes we think were better off dead than working and suffering till we reach the end. Although some of us can barely survive these conditions such as being crushed under land and mud slides, and suffocation from noxious gases from places underground. Us who are lucky to survive will tell forward all of our terrible memories that we going through. Its getting dark now better get some sleep and add another tally to the times I have been working cause tomorrow is just another ordinary day to the countdowm of my life.

Movies based on Imperialism

Imperialism is a stronger nation opressing a weaker one. A movie that I chose to be a good example of is Braveheart by Mel Gibson. This movie tells about a man named William Wallace who leads his army through a series of successful battles against the English. This shows a strong nation like England destroying other small farms for the king to own although in this movie Mel Gibson puts up a fight. However at the end the bigger nation still wins over the weaker countries as it gets more powerful each time it does. It also can show imperalism as a man as one is stronger than another man like Wallace who beats about anyone he wants.

In 1280 A.D., King Edward "Longshanks" of England, has occupied much of southern Scotland, declared himself King of Scotland, and his oppressive rule there leads to the deaths of William Wallace's father and brother. Years later,the Scots continue to live under the iron fist of Longshanks' cruel rule. Wallace returns, intent on living as a farmer and avoiding involvement in the ongoing "troubles". Wallace seeks out and courts Murron, whom he knew as a child in the village, and the two marry in secret to avoid any disturbance. When an English soldier tries to rape Murron, Wallace fights off several soldiers and the two attempt to flee, but the village magistrate captures Murron. Declaring Murron's assault to be the same as if she had assaulted the King, the magistrate ties Murron to a pole and, in an attempt to draw Wallace out, executes her by slitting her throat. When Wallace rides back into the village moments later to find what has happened, he and the men in the village rise up against the magistrate and the English soldiers. Wallace gets his retribution on the magistrate by assassinating him in the same manner that the magistrate had executed Murron.

Ever since Wallace got angry and decides to lead an army against England to have his revenge on the king. They went in many battles and won most of them yet they were still outmatched. For the next seven years, Wallace goes into hiding, fighting a guerrilla war against English forces with his remaining band of Scotsmen. Wallace is caught in a trap set by the elder Bruce and the other nobles, beaten unconscious, and handed over to the English. At the end, The English won and executed Wallace making them the most superior nation to all others.

Yellow journalism now...

Yellow Journalism is a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate researched news and instead uses amusing headlines to sell more newspapers. Today we still use it but we call it Checkbook Journalism which is the practice of paying someone for a news story. Its kind of the same thing cause that person could have bought it and make little research for that headline. An example of someone using such device is John Reimer who wrote "...marijuana is still the gateway to other drugs." which basically is not enough information to state this without further research.
