In the histories of some culture, people went to war to defend their beliefs and do anything necessary to defend the cause they believed in. People believe in their rights because it is what their family has been doing for generations. Without defending our rights the United States of America would not be what it is today. All people should be able to defend their rights within good reasoning. Within good reasoning, I mean you shouldn’t just go into a gay marriage and break it up if you do not believe in it. Another example is that my dad on Eid would always make my mom make the same my grandma did when my dad was a kid and we do the same thing every year because that what my dad believes in. Another example in the short story “The Sniper” by Liam O’ Flaherty the main character did not stop until he killed his enemy; it is like his belief like he will not stop. In the end he did kill him because he believed he could. If you believe in something you should do it even if you had to kill your own brother to do what you had to believe in just like in “The Sniper”. If even if you had to kill yourself you should stand up for what you believe in. Others may agree that you should not believe that you should defend your rights all the time. However, this is less valid because without defending our beliefs, the United States of America would not exist. This is because the British would have taken over our nation

the political mess? You.” It talks about how we the people are to blame for the political mess we as a country are in. I definitely agree with this article. It states multiple valid points to why we are in the tough spot that we are in. The article states that “we want [the government] to fix our problems. At the same time, we want government to shrink, spend less, and to reduce our taxes.” I feel that the people are asking too much of our government. We want the government to do a variety of things…
To Kill a Mockingbird In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus who is a lawyer chooses to defend a black man named Tom Robinson that was accused of raping a white woman which is Bob Ewells daughter. In my own opinion its a good thing that Atticus defends Tom because no one ever stands up for the black people just because of the color of their skin. The whites do not think that the blacks should have the same equal rights as they do. Atticus thinks its wrong for them to do that so he tries to help t…

The thing that everyone seems to agree on though is that we should inherently be passive when it comes to choosing whether to be…
children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.” People should never have to witness that kind of stuff that is clearly torture so that it violates the human rights.

put everything on the line to defend the claims to life, liberty, and property. In life, humans have had wars, battles, and quarrels, thus we have always had soldiers and veterans, although they may have not been what people think of now. Humans have always had defenders to the claims that they make. Veterans and soldiers are the glue of the nation, because they had put all of their strengths, weaknesses, hopes, dreams, and fears on the line to protect the natural rights that people have, and yet humans…
feels that putting women in serious combat positions endangers the women as well as their fellow male soldiers because of a man's natural instinct to defend a woman in danger and because they feel women don't have the physical and mental capacity to endure the same kind of experience, I believe since women are allowed to serve in the Armed Forces they should be allowed access to ALL available opportunities in which to serve. Women are given the same opportunities as men to serve in law enforcement,…
